Why are we giving Gibbs a pass?

I'm all for hope and optimism, but again I would like to see a well executed plan put in place. As far as the injuries go, that is what happens in the NFL. I'm just tired of the excuses.

I agree for the most part. Just because he is Joe Gibbs doesn't mean we need to be constant apologists or sycophants. Fortunately Gibbs is critical of himself as well, and we can always count on the fact that he will give 100% at all times to get better. But 21-27 in the regular season over three years doesn't exactly set the league on fire. Of course he should be scrutinized.

For those who jump down your throat as soon as you criticize Gibbs, just remember Daseal's signature line: "Apparently not having unrelenting optimism means you're not a fan."

That always make me laugh. Sometimes you have to be a skeptic.
