I've noticed that in a lot of your posts, you tend to use phases along the lines of, "not buying it until I actually see something". I've been wondering for awhile now...what exactly is it that you are waiting to "see". Obviously, a dominant month of December resulting in a 10-6 overall record against the 2nd toughest schedule in the NFL didn't show you enough. What are you waiting to see from this organization and this coaching staff?
Over the last three years Gibbs has lost? Well, outside of being a blatently incorrect statement, I'm not sure what you are saying here. The Redskins record over the last three years has produced more losses than wins over a three year period...so Gibbs is incapable of winning? I think you are really grasping for straws here.
I don't understand why people waste time saying stuff like, "replace Gibbs with any other surname and I bet this is a drastically different discussion". Well, yeah, obviously. The thing about that is his name is Gibbs, he's probably not changing it anytime soon. The name comes with a proven successful track record. Earned, not handed to him. "What if it wasn't Gibbs" is an irrelivant argument, in part due to the fact that, well, it is Gibbs.
Having talent doesn't mean a whole lot when most teams you play have more than you.

Gibbs is the best coach this team has had since, um, Gibbs. Pettibone, Turner, Schottenheimer, and Spurrier couldn't hold a candle to this guy. I think our young friend is hoping that we get someone like a Sean Payton or Eric Mangini. What he doesn't realize, however, is that those guys have only been with their respective team's just one season. Let's just see how those guys handle the tough times, and if they can continue being successful in the fickle NFL. Gibbs has proven what he can do in the long run, and it's a pretty sterling record! Remember the phrase, "it's not a sprint, it's a marathon."
P.S. I know what some of you will say, "Well Gibbs isn't here for the long run!" What I'm saying is the man know's how to handle adversity.
