From the recent articles in the post and on espn.com it seems that everyone is unhappy, from coaches to players. I have never heard of a team talking this much in the media about the internal turmoil amongst a team. Gibbs has had 3 years to “right this ship” and during that time period we have seen two former skins coaches flourish and turn their respective teams around (chargers and bengals). Im really just venting, I am tired of hearing excuses, this past seasons team was the most pathetic skins team I have ever seen, no depth, no heart, and no class, that’s what this team has been reduced to.

Why don't you chill out! We were just in the playoffs last season! We made some strides toward the end of the season that gives out some hope for next year! I, myself, see a much improved team on the horizon next year. You say you've never heard of a team talking this much in the media, have you been paying attention to our friends the big blue up in NYC? I know you're frustrated, but please hang in there!

All I know is we've only made the playoffs twice in the last 15 years. That's futility that is right up there with debacles like the Browns and Lions. We aren't good, and barring a 6 game stretch last year, we haven't been good in a LOOOOONG time. And the savior Joe Gibbs is a paltry 21-27 since returning. Snyder is arrogant enough to think throwing money around at FA's is the way to a championship. We win the Super Bowl every offseason, don't we?

We don't build through the draft, we have no general manager making sound personnel decisions, we're terribly inconsistent on both sides of the ball, and other GM's around the league (always on condition of anonymity) routinely bash the hell out of our repetitive bad decision making. I'm flat out sick of it. We are a punch line, and I don't think anyone, including Gibbs, should be safe from intense scrutiny. And yet every year I have hope. I've said before being a Redskins fan is my cross to bear, and it's a heavy one.

That pretty much wraps it up. I want this shipped fixed, but fixed for the long term not the right now.

Go to the Portis 980 thread if you want to know what going on with the Skins.

It's the same broken record. Here in D.C., the feeling is a GM won't make that much of a difference. However within most NFL circles people have said for years that's one of our biggest downfalls, and we refuse to listen. If one keeps hearing the same thing over and over again from different sources, at what point must it be true?

Another thing, why do I get the feeling this is like a boat with a leak, and Gibbs is running from place to place trying to plug it with his finger, then his toe, then the other finger.....

Like it or not here is my take on the Skins .You're not a bad team the Betts fumble was more of a good hit than Betts fualt..helmet on the ball is a very hard thing to stop.1 or 2 free agents and you're in business Gibbs is a good coach and giving cambell a whole year will mean alot.You had some injuries ...all teams do but that's just the luck of the game ,wholesale changes aren't needed IMHO.

Tom Coughlin needs to get laid. He's a cranky old bastard.
