What's up with Gibbs?

skinnyfan · 09-19-2005, 03:47 PM

It looked as though Gibbs was fighting a cold of some sort....nose looked a little red and was sniffling etc......probably working those 15+ hour days. I also thought he was pissed they were asking him about the U G L Y comment he made. Very stupid ass questions.

heading into a nationally televised road game vs. the franchise's long time dominant rival who's fans he called 'ugly'; coached by his personal long time dominant coach rival, after a hugely disappointing season and then making the quickest QB change in NFL history to last season's worst QB earlier in the week, all while carrying an enormous Hall of Fame legacy...

i'll go out on a limb and say 'pressure'.

Actually, I was wondering about this yesterday. How far into the opener against the Chargers were we when Marty yanked Jeff George for Tony Banks? I can't remember

He yanked him during the opener but started him again the next week against Green Bay.

He ended up cutting him after that.

I guess there's a lesson there, sometimes you have to cut your losses even if it may seem a little crazy at the time.

Cutting your starting QB two weeks into a season isn't something you see very often.

Anyone remember Jeff George being ridden around the turf at Dallarse Stadium after a sack and the O-Line did nothing?

seriously doubt that'd happen with Ramsey

Brunell is starting, so it's even less likely that'd happen with this game, or this roster. That team was a pack of hired guns, not team mates.

Sickening, and another reason I'd love to see the Cow-Whores ridden long and hard tonight.

I honestly don't think any of George's teammates liked him....not just with the Redskins, but all the teams he's played with.

Gibbs didn't look so good there, kinda like Aikman after his run in with LAVAR

If I were a lineman (I'm about 150Lbs short, oh, and probably a foot too short) and my QB was getting roughed up I'd step in, even if I hated him. HE'S OUR GUY.

I never want to see division in our ranks again.
