This was an expensive and time consuming investment. We were enjoying the game until the 4th quarter when the wheels seemingly came off. I could clearly see the fire and drive on the players faces during the game. But, to hear the some of the fans outwardly call-out coach Gibbs during the game greatly disturbs me, and to read the same vitriol on this site is also disturbing. I had 4 hours to reflect on the drive back home from the game last Sunday, and I too was very pissed-off. This team had a great oppurtunity to move closer for a playoff spot, but they blew it. This was a TEAM loss and every man that wears B/G knows it. But, now is not the time to throw bombs at this team and count them out. This team is in the thick of things as far as playoffs go. I am very appreciative for what coach Gibbs has done for this team, past and present and I think he will coach this team to so more great things. I never saw this man on the sidelines in his first tour with the team, but I did see Turner and the ole' ball coach try to guide this team to greatness. And we know how that went. I do feel privileged to have been in the same stadium as this man, for I know that the clock is ticking on when he will hang it up for good, and I don't know if I will be going to another game anytime soon. This man has a great legecy as the coach of this team, and I would hate to see him tarnish that with fans like us calling for his head. All I'm saying is that all is not lost, and there is still plenty of season left. This season has alot of 05' feel to it and we remeber how fun that was. I know that it is frustrating because our record could be so much better but, let's not give up hope. This game with the seemingly invensible cowboys is huge. And the other teams that are with us in the playoff hunt are in big games this Sunday also. Lets focus on the brite side of things, we are still in it. Let's support our team to beat the cowboys this Sunday.

I don't know why, but it honestly took reading the post to make me realize that we still have a winning record and that even though tomorrow doesen't look good by an stretch of the mind, we are still in the thick of the playoff hunt. As disappointing as some of this season has been I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, who knows maybe we will win but if we don't it's not the end of the world. We have Tampa Bay coming right up after Dallas and if we can beat Tampa Bay and then have an over .500 record for the rest of the season I think we have a wild card spot.
