team hard to take

I don't know what to make of the whole situation. I was born in 1990, so I totally missed everything great that the Redskins accomplished. But, when you watch classic Redskins (1981-1992) you always see a very involved and enthusiastic Joe Gibbs making phenomenal half time adjustments (offensively) and eventually coming back from a deficit.

Now, it seems that Joe Gibbs is somber and just oversees everything, not really being as involved as he once was. Why do we need someone like Al Saunders to run our offense, when we have Joe Gibbs? He is a product and perfected the "Air Coryell" System, he was the best damn offensive guru in the NFL from 1979 to 1992. I just hope history repeats itself, and this is just the drought before they hire someone like Lombardi, Allen, or Gibbs.

I hate to say it, but Coach Gibbs probably needs to retire for his own sake. He's 66 years old and should be enjoying the golden years of his life. I just truly hate to see things happen like what went down yesterday, it just adds extra sadness to an already extremely sad week. Joe Gibbs is probably the most decent and down to earth sports figure I've ever seen, you just have to feel for the man right now.

I really think something that would make this team click is to just say listen, everyone out there is a pro. Let them get out there and make the plays we brought them in here to do. There is no way that the Patriots or Colts run that ball on 3rd down yesterday. I think it is easier to play aggressive when we have the lead, if you lose, the fans understand what you were doing. I am honestly not sure if we even run that ball during the 2005 playoff run. Yesterday was a game full of emotions though, just for that team to step foot on that field made me proud to be a Redskins fan!
