We just want to see "W's" put up on the board and not "L's".

But at the sametime, it shouldn't be hard to figure out why we hold such an allegiance to Joe Gibbs. Him and his coaching staff is what brought this team our last true glory years of this franchise. Gibbs is probably one of the main reasons that we're Redskins fans today. At least it's him and those great players from the 80's and early 90's that made me such a big fan of this team. I understand that some fans here became fans because the team is in your hometown, but I don't care if this team played in Seattle, Washington instead of D.C., I would still pull for them.

Like it or not, Joe Gibbs should be given some type of amnesty for his accomplishments. What would it profit us to fire him and put someone else in to coach, just because they would be younger? Just might give us more years to be a losing team. I say give Gibbs as long as he needs for the simple fact that while people argue it was all Bobby Beathard in the 80's and that football has changed dramatically nowadays, football comes down to X's and O's. Gibbs knows how to coach. He knows how to motivate and he knows the X's and O's. You forget that alot is on his shoulders. He's trying to make all the right moves to rebuild this entire franchise. It's going to take time. Alot of us agreed when Gibbs first come here that it might take him all 5 years on his contract to get this team back to good standings. At least half of those people now are wanting him fired because they're too impatient. Hey, I wanna win just like the next guy, but I'm willing to allow someone who HAS been success in this league to build the team right than to put someone else in who will mess around for a year or two and dig this team deeper in a hole.

Well spoken!
