Applying that standard to the NFL, the only teams that are not pathetic are the Colts and the Patriots. Pretty high bar if you ask me.

In our conference there is Green Bay and New York who have more than four consecutive wins. If the Redskins were really a well-coached team they would be 6-1 respectfully.

Even still, expecting a 6-1 record is setting the bar rather high. Could we be 6-1? Sure, but I wouldn't put that all on the coaches.

The loss to Green Bay was undoubtedly the fault of the players, that is unless you blame Gibbs for Moss' inability to catch or hold onto balls, Portis' fumble, or several O-linemen getting injured. I also wouldn't put the loss to New England on the coaches as it seems that no one can beat them. It's questionable who should be blamed for the loss to the G-men. But, assuming the loss the G-men is on the coaches, that still means that the coaches have lost just 1 game for the team. So I am not quite sure why you are taking issue with the coaches if your sole concern is our record (as opposed to player and team stats).

My main point was with how unprepared and underutilized the team has been if you look at playcalling and a since of calling the dogs off when the offense has scored two touchdowns. It is clear that loss to the Giants was a reflection of a team who didn't know what to do with a unneccessary timeout and the wrong RB in background on the goal. I think this time around for Gibbs has been a challenge a lesson about adaption and adjustment. If you don't adapt, you will become extinct and that's what our offense has almost become.

I'll give you the Giants game as a reason to be unhappy with the coaches. But, if you only care about the W-L record, what other games are you unhappy about? You can't put the losses to Green Bay and New England on the coaches. The loss to Green Bay was squarely on the players and the loss to New England was all but inevitable.
