Should Joe Gibbs be let go or retire?

None suffered "devastating" injuries, just those nagging groin, hammy's and sprains. In other words the types of injuries that are minimized exponentially when a player is in better shape. I.E. participates in a structured, monitored off-season program.

None?

Guess you forget about Jansen getting his ankle snapped or last night with JC getting rolled up on. Or Rogers shredding his knee, or Thomas tearing a muscle. Not sure what conditioning was going to do for those guys.

Of course I was discounting last nights injury to JC. Hope is OK by the way.

What about Portis, Moss, ARE and even Taylor (prior to the tragedy)? They all had a nagging "tweak" that landed them on the injury report. Seemed like every week the injury reported read like a "who's who" of the Washington Redskins.

How many times did we see. "pull", "strain" or "sprain" on the injury report this season? You have to admit, it was more than MOST teams in the NFL. And those little "naggers" are a direct result of conditioning.

I think most may agree that possibly HALF or even a little more of the injuries could have been minimized with an off-season program.
