What's wrong With this Team?

Our team is not that bad at all. [URL="http://www.profootballhof.com/assets/default/W-L_Start_of_2007_Final.pdf"]

Someone said earlier that it starts at the top with the owner and trickles down. I couldn't agree more and I think that b/c the owner is so hands on it puts added pressure on the coaching staff (in a town like Washington where there is already a tremendous amount of pressure). The coaches can't focus on building a team over a couple of years cuz danny boy wants to win NOW and he might go out and decide to get the next hot college coach to "solve" the problems. This in turn trickles down to the players who have no type of job security b/c a) the salary cap is so tight year in year out that they could be casualties at any point if they don't perform & b) the owner could just bring in a big name free agent to take their spot during the next offseason. With all this added pressure on the players and coaching staff along with the yearly roster overhauls nobody can really vibe with each other and there is no continuity. When is the last time we had the same coach and clear starting QB in consecutive years. I can think of two times in the last 10 years...Norv Turner and Brad Johnson...and Gibb's and Brunell. I don't think its surprising that those were also the only two times we have been to the playoffs in that span. Don't get me wrong i don't think either of those situations was optimal but even their mediocre talent succeeded with a little rhythm
