I think everybody had extremely high expectations of Joe Gibbs when he first came back to D.C. Us older fans had them, because we knew what he brought to this team in his first tenure and what he is capable of. The younger fans had high expectations because of what us older guys had witnessed and they want to witness the same greatness. I think that is the bottom line. We all want to see greatness, and we want to see it right away. After all, we ALL have waited a very long time to see the Redskins back on top in the league. This team has been medicore at best since Joe left us the first time.

Honestly, I will be unashamed in saying that I will support Joe Gibbs, fully, until he decides to step down. He will not leave the team any other way, unless the good Lord decides to take him home. I understand what he is trying so desperately to do. I see that it goes far beyond X's and O's. I understand most of you only want to see the bottom line. I understand that. I want to see this team be great as well. However, I have always been the type of guy who takes a step back and looks at the big picture. I take into consideration every aspect of the game, not just X's and O's. I guess that is why I have always preached patience. Sometimes it's easier to have patience when you're looking at everything from the ground up, instead of just what happens on Sunday.

I see Joe Gibbs trying to build this team from the ground up. I will say, I have been disappointed that we haven't seen this team completely turn the corner yet. Maybe this team doesn't quite have the confidence to win yet? Whether the reason, I do believe it is time for this team to show us that they're a playoff team again. Not only that, but they are a consistent playoff team. I mean honestly, we can sit here and point fingers as to why we're not 6-1 or 7-0 yet. We are what we are right now. And right now, we're 4-3 and have about 9 games left to go in the season. All of those games are winable. I do not see anymore "Patriots" on our schedule.

If by the end of this season we are 6-10, then I will be very disappointed. This team is good enough to win 10 games, and Joe's coaching staff is good enough to lead them to 10 games.
