Another poor play calling game by Gibbs

[LongTimeSkinsFan]

I didn't watch the whole game but I watched enough to know that 2 INTs got converted into TDs by the Eagles. Take away those 14 points and we walk away winners- plain and simple.

I'm not going to blame that play call on Gibbs, because I don't believe he called that play. We may have to chalk that one up to Al.

Gibbs probably made the decision to kick the field goal at the end.......knowing that the defense would "fight its guts out" for force an eagles three and out. Right decision, however, wrong defense. How can we not stop JEFF GARCIA when it counts!!!!!!!!!!!

If this team stinks up pre-season again and goes 50%or under on wins next year will Gibbs still have a "pass" to coach the 5th season of his contract?

Looking at the Skins coaching moves last year, is the plan of Gibbs leaving this team after year 5 still make sense?

Based on those coaching moves would Gibbs have to be a GM to make this year coaching moves stable for the Skins in the year after Gibbs retires?

Lot of talk about the stability Gibbs brings, but is there stability once he leaves or moves out of the heading coaching job?




Riggins on XXX radio (Dan Snyders station) asked these same questions to his in studio staff Friday Dec. 8th at 4:45 PM. He questioned the stability that Gibbs has brought or is bringing.

So, what stability is Gibbs bringing to the Skins for the future of this team?

You bring up a very good point. Most of us say, well, we need Gibbs to stick it out because we need to be in a stable situation or whatever. While I agree with that in principle, I'm not sure staying for five years for the sake of creating a stable environment is the solution either. Just to be clear, I'm not calling for Gibbs head, I'm just saying 5 yrs of losing will eventually put us back at square one anyway.

The only way for this to really be solved is winning. Gibbs has to turn this around in the next two years.

Actually, I agree completely that Gibbs staying for 5 years just for the sake of staying doesn't contribute to consistency. It's what he does with those 5 years that will matter.

I don't think any "Gibbs' lovers" would deny that.

This post has officially been "touched".

Why is that? Just like what Matty said, it's what he does while he's here. He's trying every avenue possible to get this team back to good standings. Everybody bitched, moaned, and complained about needing an offensive coordinator, so that's what Gibbs did. Gibbs took a back seat and an "hands off" approach to this year, and because of it, we're 4-9. In retrospect, we would've been much better off not hiring Saunders and just adding the talent we needed to run Gibbs' offense. I suspect Gibbs will take a more hands on approach next season, and I believe we will benefit from him doing so.

I don't know how anyone here can really pay any attention to anything 61cad says. He made a big stink over the cap hell we'll be in if we don't get the CBA deal done in the off-season, and has yet to acknowledge that he didn't realize the deal was extended last spring (through 2011). So he's being negatvie just for the sake of being negative.
