I don't care what anybody says, Gibbs will not have a worse record in his second year. It just won't happen. He will do whatever it takes to win.

Last year, the writers gave the Redskins higher rankings based upon Gibbs HOF reputation. So do they write that off and think that he hasn't learned anything after a season of experience in today's NFL? Yeah, right. The situation last year did not provide the appropriate time to make the changes he needed to make to the offense. Now he will have had a full offseason to do that. The WR's arguably aren't any better? If that truely is the case, so what! Teams like the Patriots and Eagles have had plenty of success without a premiere WR (Philly did make it to the NFC championship 3 times without TO). Plus especially in close games, one play can make the difference. How many games were there last season that were lost to a BS play or call? At least two come to mind right away (the non-illegal motion vs. GB and the should-have-been offensive pass interference vs. Dallas). That would have put us at 8-8 and, considering how sorry the NFC was, in the playoff hunt. My point being that luck (or "the ball bouncing your way") has a lot to do with it, and as much homework someone does prior to making predictions, they still won't get it right a lot of the time.
And who cares if it is too early? This site is here to talk about the Redskins whether there is new news or not, and that's just what we're doing...
