Hey Gibbs, You Need a New Playbook

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Let's just stop discussing the Redskins. There doesn't seem much room for disagreement about Gibbs. You say the word Gibbs and everyone turns into the Manchurian candidate.

I don't think anybody is denying that the playcalling could be better. I have never said the playcalling is not part of the problem.

But it just seems like too much blame is going to the playcalling and not enough blame to the execution.

By the way, just to be clear I'm talking about today, I'm analyzing today's game, not the entire season. At other times the coaching might get more blame, and at others it's more on the players. Today I thought it was pretty even.

I think we're splitting hairs now. I think our positions aren't that far apart. They are different, but not by much.

I agree, we probably are splitting hairs at this point. But calling out Gibbs seems to be the more popular argument right now. I don't see a thread right now named the 'executions sucks', all I see is 'Gibbs needs a new playbook', and 'downfield Gibbs'?

Your previous post on Gibbs said it all. I couldn't have expressed it better myself.

There's something very, very wrong with the offense and the playcalling and that must rest squarely on Gibbs' shoulders.

You say that you think he'll get it straightened out. I wish I had that kind of confidence, but I'm willing to let this season go by and hope for the best next year.

I think I'd feel a little more optimistic if I saw any change in Gibbs' approach, but so far I haven't. He's got a QB in Ramsey with a strong arm, but this was the most conservative and rotten playcalling I've ever seen.

If I see one more screen to the sidelines I will literally throw up. It was unreal how many times Gibbs called that same play . . .

I agree totally with your assessment of Gibbs right now. He's a great guy a brillilant thinker and was a great coach. But, he's not a god and he has made some terrible decisions this season, both in personnel and in his offensive game plans and playcalling. Let's see if his much-touted ability to adjust is still there. So far, I have seen no evidence of it.
