It was our job to stop them wasn't it? Our guys are paid to play just the same as thiers are (just a bit more fancy).  I don't want to hear whining from Redskins fans or reporters about them running up the score, that shows about as much sportsmanship as what the Patriots showed. Plain and simply the took it to us, and we ALLOWED it. One other thing, I have no qualms about the Patroits going for it with the game out of controll. It was our job to stop them wasn’t it?

It was a total embarrasement from the word go, and I will NEVER  forget this debacle. However,  I  see a trend here, and quite frantly I have been ragging on ths for 3 plus seasons now, and the story is getting old.  Since Joe Gibbs has been back as our coach, he has had his 2 looosingest seasons at 6-10 and 5-11.  We scored the fewest points of any tem in the league over this span, have played the most games where we have scored 20 points or less and lost the most games where we have held a 14 point lead at halftime.  At what point will Gibbs ever realize that none of these things lead to a winning receipe? Will we EVER get out of our Prevent Offense? I will admit that I was over joyed with the news that we had brought Gibbs back,. I really believed that he would bring diciplin back to our team. Clearly, that hasn't happened.  In his first tenure, we were a ball control team that would run the ball down your throat, but, we always had a dynamic passinng capability.  It appears that we do have that capability, but we simply choose not to run those sorts of plays. Instead, on 3rd and 10 we throw a 4 yard pass... 3rd and 12 a 6 yard pass, BRILLENT!!! In fact there isn't much of anything that we do that seems to make sense. In Sundays game our defensive plan was to give them a short passing game. DAMN, the Patriots play that type of a game masterfully and will take that all game long. Well we did, and we never changed a thing, neither did they. We telegragh practically everything we do on offense and defense and teams just simply punk us and i'm sick and tired of it. Since Gibbs' return we have won justenuf game to camaflague what we really are. Nothing more than middle of the pack at best. We are playing Pop Warner football in an All Madden League. That's just not getting it done.  From the coaching decisions, the exicution, to the players themselves, we're kidding ourselves to think that this is a good team. I would love for this team to prove me wrong, but, I see the writing on the wall and have seen it for years. From the coaching all the way down the line this team is either incappable  or unwilling to change. Are we THAT DESPERATE for any resembelance of sucess to buy what thier trying to sell? There is a huge difference between what the Patroits do and what we do, the Pats throw downfield, even if it is only 7 yards, they attack you. Our most often called passing plays are screens and very short drag patterns.  On defense they attack the offense, we play this cheezy cover 2 that gets no littl to no preuusre on the offense or recievers. You might be able to get away with that knd of junk against teams like Detriot, afterall, at the end of they day the STILL are the Lions. Tom Brady is far too good to play that way against, he will carve you up like a Christmas Ham. After the Cardinals game I felt dirty, or as if I had stolen something. I didn't feel as though we won that game, jeez, 3 times at the end of the game we GAVE it back to them. If that same game had been played in the month of December the Cardinals would be juilty of re-gifting! It took me about 4 games into the 2004 season to see what this team was going to be like. it stunk then and it smells even worse now. Why worse? We're 4-3 we're still in the hunt. Well, this is Joe's 4th season, and we still run much the same offense as we did then. Little has changed. Excuses like the injury plague, are weaing thin, oh and don't bring up the fact that Cambell is inexperienced...either he is the starter or not...you gotta make plays. For some damned reason nobody can seem to catch his passes when he is on target, and when guy are wide open he over-throws them by a country mile. Frantly, if I were the coach, Jason Cambell would NEVER be my guy, and the reason I say that is look at his eyes. He's way too laid back to ever be MY GUY.  Remember the look at Marino always seemed to have in his eyes?  That look is not in Joe Gibbs' eyes, it's not in Cambell's eyes either.  The only thing those eyes (for either of those guys) say to me is ..."don't worry, we'll get it next play..." meanwhile the clock is ticking and next thing you know you here the sound of the official firing the starting pistol and the game is over. Sorry Joe, as much as I respect you and am thankful for all the glory that you helped to once bring to Redskins fans, I have heard the pistol being fired.
