Don't be surprised if last year's 5-11 team turns out to be better than this '04 Gibbs-coached team. We'll be lucky if we can match that win total.
Although I was not a fan of Schottenheimer when he was here, especially his offensive philosophy, after much thought, I have to agree with SC. Hindsight being 20/20, if there's one moment in the past where this team made the wrong turn, it very well might be when Snyder lost his patience with Schottenheimer.
Sometimes I feel like sticking it out with Marty could have been the key to turning this franchise around. His discipline, his fundamentals and fierce and fiery ways might have been just what this team needed. That goes back to Dan Snyder, and that was all on him.
This is in no way meant to be an example of jumping off the Joe Gibbs Bandwagon. I don't want to be construed into one of those people who comes crawling back when things start getting better -- because I know they will with our coach. It's just going to take some time.
With just a few adjustments in his offensive system, sometimes I just feel like we'd be in the hunt right now if Schotty was still coaching this team.
