Right now, I see a team that is struggling (to put it mildly), just as they have been struggling for the past 10 years or so. I don't know that Gibbs can (for a second time) be our "Miracle Worker". You seem convinced that he will do it, so perhaps your crystal ball is clearer than mine. I hope to God you're right because I'm sick and tired of losing.
However, at what point do we begin to wonder if not even Joe can "right the ship"?

You sound like Tony?
To the point.............I, like you have been waiting lo' these many years since Joe left in 92' for another winner. Still waiting. But, I am for the first time in those years seeing dramatic signs of recovery.
If you think about all of Joe's press outings when he came back, and today (when asked). he describes the jobs as "building a team". His expectations for his 5-year deal are "putting a team in place that will be competative for years to come". "Returning the Skins to respectability". I personally have no problem with this. It takes some time to undo 12 years of chaos! The staff is making the right moves. The team is much improved. We can play (and have) with all comers. This is not a bad team! Neither is it a complete team. For now it is a work in progress. We are definately having probs putting people away. That is not a wholesale kind of change. That is a few personnel moves, and a few tweaks her and there. I am sure they will try to accomplish this in the off season. Gone are the Danny off-season (florida marlins comings and goings). How much negative crap do you hear out of the players-not much. How many players complain about the staff?
Struggling, HELL NO! GROWING??? HELL YES!!!!!!!!! Since Jack Pardee is not available, I prefer to "trust in Joe" Don't forget to smell the roses
