Our offense is Pathetic

The concern for me is the health of the offensive line and gibbs having the team prepared in critical situations. I am pro-gibbs, but at times he just doesn't seem to have thought through game situations. Like under 2:39 left in the game with 1 timeout. Call the timeout before or after the 2 minute warning ? And here's another - 4th and a long 1, should there be a call ready just for this situation ? or if a timeout is needed, should he challenge the spot of the ball - since you are calling a timeout anyways. The worse thing that would happen would be the ball being placed back. Best case: the ball being moved forward, which if i'm not mistaken would save a timeout. Another thing that they could have done was ask to bring out the chains for a measure. That would have given them enough time to think things through (and you can then challenge).

Speaking of the spot of the ball, the spot after Cooley's catch and dive for the first down marker was absolutely pathetic. I figured that we would be looking at 4th and under a yard instead of 4th and a yard and a half. Still doesn't excuse the poor read on the 4th down play. Bottom line though, there were numerous opportunities to win this game and the offense just didn't get it done. Another poster said that with the outstanding defensive effort, this looked like 2004 all over again, and I couldn't agree more.

I hope you meant '05, because this team has nothing in common with '04. No QB controversy, a WR corps that (when healthy) is a damn sight better than the Coles/50-50 combo we sported then, a drastically improved offense (15th in the league in total offense as opposed to 30th where the '04 team finished), and so on..

I personally would not compare this offense to 2004's offense. That offense was terrible and had not hope for improvement. This year's offense has put the redskins in position to win games. 2007 to me is way different.
