We'll see what '07 brings.

I think that Gibbs biggest problem is that he is working with too many changes during the off seasons. While some are necessary changes and others are free agent induced I think that a little continuity will help.

Each and every year we are getting off to slow starts and improving at the end of the season when it is too late.

Every head coach has to manage change in the NFL. It's not an excuse, it's reality. Look at Sean Payton, I'm sure he had nearly an entire new staff and he's done quite well in his first year. Hell, Bellichek(sp) lost his offensive and defensive coordinator at once and bounced back. Brian Billick gave his offensive coordinator the boot mid stream and still rolled with the punches.

I just hope Gibbs can trim some fat and get things turned around next year.

this year was a year of both bad coaching and bad player preformance.

Problem is, Gibbs is picking the players. So no matter which poison you pick- coaching or players - it all comes back to Gibbs.

I agree with some of the above posts- I'm willing to give him another year based on the fact that we made the playoffs last year, but if he finishes below .500 again in 2007...

I can't help but agree with you there, sometimes it works and others it does not. It just have not been working for us.
