October 4, 200422 yr If it wasn't for him the Redskins would have been good. Good thing Joe Gibbs came back and turned that team around... :plain
October 4, 200422 yr The Skins are 1 long Clinton Portis run away from being 0-4. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

October 4, 200422 yr It wasn't Spurrier. It isn't Gibbs. It isn't the coaches. No team can live up to their talent when they're replacing offensive and defensive coordinators every year and bring in new game plans. Redskins fans just need to accept going through one 'disappointing' season before they can win. Unfortunetly like the Mets, Eagles, Notre Dame and others, it's a win now fan base.

Though Spurrier's offense didn't really work that great in the NFL, it wasn't all him, which is where I felt the blame was being placed.
October 4, 200422 yr Its called Dan Snyder playing fantasy football. 581012[/snapback] Can you believe kick returner Chad Morton is making $5M and hasn't returned one punt for a TD
October 4, 200422 yr It really doesn't matter who the coach is when your team is limited in it's talent level and has poor spending habits on it's players. This all goes back to Mr. Snyder upstairs.....
October 4, 200422 yr It isn't the players or the coaches. I don't know what it is. But it's agonizing.

This all goes back to Mr. Snyder upstairs..... 581135[/snapback] I do think Gibbs and Bugel are the right coaches to get it done with Snyder's paycheck. Snyder likes t overspend on defense and skill position players, leaving little for the OL, DT and reserves. Gibbs/Bugel are known for getting the best out of OL-man and reserves.
October 4, 200422 yr the Skins, under Spurrier, still upped their offensive scoring from the year before Spurrier go there. He might not have made the offense awesome, but it did get a little better. The defense on the other hand....
October 4, 200422 yr Just think how awesome THe NFC East could be if we could just get rid of The Deadskins.
October 4, 200422 yr It's been fundamentals that kill the Redskins. Good offense, good defense, but add to that turnovers, and s***ty clock management. Joe Gibbs... will have to work on that. Now.

October 4, 200422 yr Destroyed Patrick Ramsey? SOS has more to work with at QB when Doug Johnson and Jesse Palmer were under center. SOS can't compete at that level without great athletes and he didn't have many. Joe Gibbs is a fossil. I don't care if Lombardi awoke from his grave and returned to coaching, football has changed beyond their years. As a SOS fan, I'm glad to see the Gibbs hoopla die out. Screw the redskins.
October 4, 200422 yr Author Patrick Ramsey was never good to begin with. Have you seen how the guy plays? Horrible decision making, rushed & inaccurate passes. Granted, he was only in his second year and the O-line was terrible. Spurrier NEVER had a good blocking back (which I admit it was stupid to release S. Davis), and the O-Line played like crap all last season. Not much else can be done to protect a QB. The 'Skins defense is not good. It's not good now and it was worse last year. The defense was plain out atrocious last year. It was bad two years ago, with MARVIN LEWIS as the d-coordinator.
October 4, 200422 yr Spurrier didn't care about the defense. Very rarely did he involve himself in the practices or speak to defensive captains Lavar Arrington or Champ Bailey. RMM, great athletes?! Every player in the NFL is a great athlete! Spurrier's problem was he could not get over his love affair with Danny Wuerffel and had no blocking schemes. The game hasn't changed much since 1991. Speed is more important and there's a salary cap (although not much more player turnover). That's about it. It will take awhile for Gibbs/Bugel to accustom theirselves with the shortened play clock and instant replay challenges, that has cost the team two wins.
