You really should read the article.

While the Patriots make everybody look bad, they haven't beaten anyone as bad as they beat the Redskins. And we were supposed to be their biggest challenge yet! What bothers me isn't the fact that we lost, I certainly didn't think we'd pull off the upset. But I didn't think we'd get smashed the way we did either.

This was the first time I've ever seen a Joe Gibbs-coached team look completely intimidated from start to finish. There was a group of men on the field in Massachusettes on Sunday afternoon, and there were a group of boys -- the Redskins played like scared little boys crying for their mommies that day.

It was sickening to watch.

I've never once called for any of these coaches to get canned. Not Gregg Williams, not Saunders, and certainly not Gibbs. But I have to admit, when Gibbs' team didn't even appear like they wanted to be on the field, my confidence in him was shaken like it never has been before. Only the most delusional of fans would have the courage to say that the Redskins gave it all they could. They played like dogs and ran away with their tails between their legs. Joe Gibbs' team reached the pathetic depths of incompetent buffoonery like it never came close to before, at a time when they had the chance to show the world that they could at least hang with the Patriots and put up some semblance of a dogfight.

In the four years that Joe Gibbs has had to right this ship, that there was such an immeasurable gap between these two teams is telling.
