I still love gibbs though

I am not as quick as the rest of you to dismiss this. Had Wade Wilson said this, we'd be all over him for being an idiot. I'm not saying Gibbs is an idiot, but why does he get a friendly pass for such a blatently wrong comment. I saw Matty say sometimes he forgets, and that I can laugh at cause he has no affiliation with our coaching staff. These guys get paid tons of money to be the Skins coaches. They LIVE and WORK football...how can he not know that Arizona is no longer in our division? 2001 was the last year they were in our division, that was 6 seasons ago!!!
I did not hear the post game comments, and if he said it and corrected himself, then I take it back. But he said (according to this thread) "We have a MORE IMPORTANT NFC East game coming up next week". What is more important than a top NFC team in the Packers than maybe the Cowboys? The Packers WAS an important game, and he's thinking the Cards are more important???
I mean, I'm ok with chaulking this up to old man forgetfulness, but you need to see the 1st place Packers as an important game, and since when has Arizona EVER been an important game? It does beg the question...does he still have it?

I agree, every NFL game is important. There's only 16 of them so in division, out of division, in conference, out of conference, it doesnt matter. Win and the team will be fine.

I've listened to both the Sunday post-game and Monday press conferences a couple of times now and, maybe I'm missing it but, I heard no mention in either of the Cardinals being in the NFC East

He does say the game is important, but understand the context of how he's saying it. In both cases he says because of the loss to the Packers it puts more emphasis on the Cardinals game and the game is now "hugely important"

More important yes, but more important than it may have been a few weeks ago. Not necessarily more important than the Packers game. Besides, what coach is going to say his upcoming opponent isn't important?

You should call in to Redskins Radio next Tuesday and ask the coach if he's senile. I'm sure that he would be glad to discuss it with you.

obviously i dont think hes senile... however if i could ask him a question, i would ask him why at week 6, we still have not found out what kind of a footbal team we really have. and why it is that every year fans are told to wait down the stretch for absolutely nothing to happen.

then i would ask him if he is out of his mind agreeing with toyota. thank god im not a tony stewart fan.

Very good points. Even though I kinda ripped Gibbs for the comment, deep down it doesn't sound like a Gibbs thing to say.

Who cares. He's 66 years old. I'm 37 and I forget shit all the time. Don't we have more important stuff to worry about????? We have some real nit pickers on this site.

I think some people as usual are blowing this way out of proportion. It was a simple slip of the tongue.
