Maybe Gibbs will make the move after we're mathematically eliminated. I can only hope.
PS Realistically I'm definitely not liking our playoff chances. Of course, just like the players, I hope we don't give up, and I'm holding out hope that we can actually go on the amazing 8-2 run we need, even if it's really unlikely.

If replacing Brunell with Campbell is throwing in the towel, than what does that say about Campbell?
Besides does it really matter what Campbell does the rest of the season? Come next season Brunell will be in there for his farewell tour because Gibbs had a gut feeling, as we saw with Ramsey after the 04 season. Gibbs just can't cut ties with Brunell if Unitas himself in his prime showed up to play.
