Gibbs has a lifetime pass in WAS. Skins went to the playoffs last year. Biggest change Saunders came on. Drop Saunders problem fixed.

Most of us don't get 3 years to get our job done right. Denny Green?

While i don't think Gibbs needs to be fired or leave after this season i'm beginning to doubt this coaching staff greatly. Next year is going to be very telling as to the direction of this franchise. There is no bigger fan of JG's out there than me, but you've got to question alot of the things that this franchise does. Some on this board think that no one should even question Joe Gibbs and the coaching staff. No doubt about it JG's is the president and all decisions come thru him, so he deserves alot of the blame.

Two things come to mind...

The signing of Brunell (an aging benched quarterback). Sorry to start this again but had we had a capable above average qb last year, we may have gone all the way.

Personell and our player free agent philosophy. I don't really get it. We bring in lloyd and ARE and we are a running smashmouth team. Or did we just waste alot of $ and picks to have decoys. Either we are or we're not. How about balance. Seems like we sign guys we don't use...Not going to get started on the d...

I need help I can't find the link for the suicide hotline.

GTripp0012 · 12-03-2006, 08:49 PM

I think we NEED both Gibbs and Saunders back next year for any chance of success. They are smart, humble people who will get this thing worked out.

Gregg Williams, on the contrary, needs to show two things (if he deserves to be back next season):

1. He hasn't lost the unit.
2. He can produce results with the players HE brought in.

This can be shown through significant improvement the next 4 weeks. If they finish ranked 28 or below...we really are better off firing him and gutting the thing. We can not afford to suffer through another rough defensive year in 07, and be forced to makes cut in 08, we need to make the cuts THIS offseason if we are not going to compete for a title next year.

Gregg Williams should be under the microscope...show me you can help us win next year!

If I remember right, paulskinsfan said before last year that he was through with this team. No more false hopes, 8-8 at best. Then we made the playoffs and paulskinsfan said.....

paulskinsfan · 12-03-2006, 09:03 PM

I also said I didn't care if we won another game after beating Dallas in the Ring of Horror game. What's you point? Year 3 means results, and Gibbs hasn't had them.,

SmootSmack · 12-03-2006, 09:08 PM

Well we did make the playoffs last year. And hopefully, we have our QB for the next several years. And several other stud young players (providing we re-sign them).

Look, I'm not happy with the season. But I don't think cleaning house is the answer.

That's assumes:

1. By the end of year 3, one has yet to produce any sort of result.
2. It doesn't appear that said coach is on the verge of progressing.

We had results in year two and blaming that on dumb luck is no different than blaming everything thats gone wrong this year on dumb luck (a lot is actually luck based).

I tell ya, I like where this offense is headed in the future under Gibbs/Saunders.

There, its settled.

He had results Last year. Media pressure and Threads made him change the offense to this trash

soccercycbk · 12-03-2006, 09:14 PM

Skinsguy, i've read everythign youve typed. you say it's not Gibbs' fault for play calling and clock management because that's Saunders job...but were they good they good the last 2 years...and whose decision was it to bring in AL? And you say the play calling today was exactly how you would've called it... Let's see, off the top of my head..3rd and 2 in 4th Q, it is obvious we are going to go for it on 4th if we dont get the first, but we go with 2 passing plays, and turn the ball over on downs. With the way the running game was going your telling me you wouldve done the exact same thing?? Please. The final drive..1st and goal. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd downs were complete BS. You wouldve spiked the ball too? You wouldn't have run with TJ?? And no he's not blaming the defense because that's not the point he's trying to make, and do i really need to back up the D? it has been top ten the last 2 years, and it is the reason this team has won most of the games it has under Gibbs. Gibbs does have control of bringin in/letting go players on Defense, and in my opinion, the poor play of the defense is mainly due to the players we have on it.

Matty, r u serious? You don't think he made one good point?

Let me rewrite the original post.

Im a Skins fan of over 20 years. Im sick and tired of the poor clock management, poor play calling at the end of the game, and poor personnell decisions. All of these are the responsibility of Joe Gibbs. Thus, reluctantly, I am now of the opinion that he must step down. The play calling and clock management have been atrocious for 3 years now. Good Bye Joe

Paul is absolutely right. We have had poor clock management, poor play calling, and poor personell decisions while Gibbs has been here. Whose fault is that other than Gibbs? That's the point he's trying to make and a lot of you are just denying the fact of the matter.

Hog's Breath · 12-03-2006, 09:31 PM

My only griping with the coaching is that we have so freakin' many of them!

Why do we need so many? Too many cooks in the kitchen if you ask me. We may need to trim some of that fat in the offseason. Get some assistants that the players respond to better, maybe. And I don't mean GW or Al.

No offense, but I think getting rid of Gibbs is one the most stupid things I've heard. We've got him for two more years and I'm glad he is going to ride it out. I don't want to rebuild this team, so we can be shitty for another three years.

To all you JG haters out there, I'm just as disappointed as you about how things have turned out. We'll bounce back...

I just don't think what we have is anywhere near worth the investment we have made. Too much money and wasted draft picks. Either clean house, or bring in a GM who has the say over Gibbs.

hooskins · 12-03-2006, 10:10 PM

Yupp I really wonder if all teams have ridiculous fans like we do.
