My view is this, we've got talent. We had more talent than our 5-11 record indicated last year. However, I think the transition to Saunders threw things off track and put us back at square one offensively. The switch to Campbell should have come earlier, but I don't think it would have changed the final result of the season very much. Portis never got on track before being lost for the season and that was a big loss despite the stellar job Betts did in relief. Overall the offense just never got on track and I think there was some grumbling behind the scenes with players wondering why such a drastic change was needed.

Defensively we had some key injuries, guys that underperformed, and a behind the scenes clashing between some players and coaches that probably didn't help out in the morale dept. very much.

I don't think it's a cut and dry issue of personnel vs. coaching as to why we didn't win last year. It was a combo of both, with other issues mixed in as well such as injuries, making the switch to a new offense, switching QBs, and petty drama behind the scenes.

We were 5-11 b/c our Defense sucked hard! One of the worst Redskin defenses to ever take the field statistically speaking. That is a head scratcher b/c most of the players were on the top 5 and top 10 defenses from the past two years. Our offense scored enough points and held the ball long enough to make the playoffs if our defense created anything or stopped anyone ever. We were # 3 ranked rushing offense last year.

Definately not the talent. GW should be help accountable. AA was his move and he let Walt Harris and others get away. Also seemed like GW lost confidence in his game calling along the way. He needs a MAJOR bounce back year for us to make the playoffs, like we have the talent to do!
