hey, the site is back. it was down all week.

go TITANS!!!

This team sucks, and it's time to put Campbell in.

Are we the only team that goes out and gets better players, and then get much, much worse? Sure seems like it.

My cousin has been telling me since the 1st preseason game that he sensed a lack of chemistry in our team. Maybe he was right.

I really think that Brunell needs to come out.

Every week, it's looking less and less smart to have spent the preseason practicing losing instead of making a real effort.

Or maybe they were making a real effort!?!
Sad, but true.

This year reminds of a great line:

One thing history teaches us is that people ignore history.

Good example. Redskins. Go to the playoffs. Bring in a bunch of overpriced over rated vets. Kill chemistry. Set yourself back to expansion team quality. Happened the last time we made the playoffs. Happened this year.

Wow.

I feel sick. The Titans? Man, going to work tomorrow and getting the razzing I'm going to get is gonna suck!

I'll never start the official gameday thread again. I suck.


I am nowhere near ready to just give up on this team and this season. Not with 10 games and all 3 NFC East home games still to come.

But I think we need to look at this team rationally and admit that this is not a Super Bowl caliber team. This is at best a wild card team who could steal a 1st round playoff win, like they did last year. They just aren't that good.

It looks to me that what happened last season is the ceiling for this particular group of guys.

Doesn't mean I won't keep rooting for them every week.

I don't know where to beging with this team but I do think that so far, Gibbs is right there with Spurrier.

Please, dont talk about anyone else until you get that together.

Gibbs took a team that Spurrier left in shambles and them in the 2nd round of the playoffs in 2 years.

Which is great and all, but lots of coaches have been to the playoffs. Gibbs' first year back, he added only 1 win, due in part to his strange Brunell obsession. Which kills us still.

Heck if I know. Might as well keep Gibbs.

He is right Chris!! Didn't you see Gibbs missing all those tackles out there? I can't believe Joe couldn't open up any holes for Portis either.

Yea but Gibbs and Co. brought in the guys that were missing all of those tackles. And he traded away the draft picks that could've been used to add depth so that guys like Holdman, Boschetti, Wright, and Rumph wouldn't be out there sucking so badly. I'm not saying that he should be fired (he shouldn't) but the personnel decisions that this team has made recently have been dreadful. We need a real GM.

Okay. Rumph cost us only Jacobs ( I still say we got the better of that one), Wright, Holdman, and Bosch were all FA pickups. What picks did we trade away for those guys, and who would have been a better alternative? We are always bashed for being spend thrifty, and now we get bashed for adding inexpensive depth. I have never been a fan of Holdman, and wish McIntosh would get some reps.

This is a bitter pill to swallow.

A must-win game
At home
Against the worst run defense in the league
And we opened up a 10 point lead
And yet managed to get Portis the ball only 14 times

Does it get any worse than that? Yes.

Having given up on the run, we passed for a grand total of 7 completions to our wide receivers. Five to Moss, one to Lloyd and one to Randal El.

Unbelievable.

So.......I went back and corrected my first post. So sue me, my legal fees are free. It was written in the heat of another loss that is unexplainable.

Yes, Gibbs took over a shambles of a Redskins team and got it to the play-off 2 years later. No argument there. In Spurriers 2 years, the team was 12 - 20, 7 - 9 1st year and 5 - 11 2nd year. Does anyone remember Spurrier standing on the sidelines with his hands across his chest, a blank expression on his face and his weekly statements of "you can't win when you play like that ", "the players played real hard." Remember those press conferences? In Gibbs 1st 2 years the team is 16 - 16, an improvement. But I see Gibbs on the sidelines with the same crossed arms, blank expression and saying the same things at the press conference. It makes me wonder.

Can anyone actually say that the team looked even good in the past 2 weeks? The only game played this year that I would say was good was the Jacksonville game and they played great. What happend to that team? Houston was a blow-out of maybe the worst team in the NFL. My point in the Spurrier/Gibbs comparison is that the Redskins team now looks just as befuddled and in an equal shambles as in the Spurrier years, and with supposedly far better talent. The best pass I saw today was the pass to Lloyd at the goal line.

The past 2 weeks opponents have been towards the bottom in the NFL in every department, yet the Redskins did not attack those weaknesses. Why?

Last week, there was an article about Gibbs loyalty to Hall. The article implied that Gibbs kept Hall out of loyalty over better kickers. An admirable quality but not productive in a very competative environment.

I don't understand Gibbs love affair with Brunell. Brunell has had great, good and bad games. He is obviously far, far beyond his glory years. How can a team build for the future with a quarterback that is in the twilight of his career? Where is Campbell? If he is a good as most of the posters on this board think he is then he should be good enought to win the starting job. Or maybe it is that Brunell is just not bad enought to be replaced biut not good enought to lead the team to the Super Bowl. Brunell is definitely not as bad as Kurt Warner was this year nor are the Redskins as bad as Arizona.

You can take as much exception as you want to this post, you can quote all you want with all of the pseudo logical statements of why I am wrong or a disloyal fan, quote "trust in Gibbs," etc. When Gibbs came back, I had high hopes, like everyone else, that Gibbs could turn this team around but I am one frustrated Redskins fan after today's game an am not so sure anymore that Gibbs is the savior of this team.
