I had a nightmare last night that I woke up to the radio saying "There's sad news from Redskins park this morning... Joe Gibbs has stepped down."... UGH! I was so glad when I became fully awake a realized it was a dream!
This season has been one problem after another, after another. I feel like Porits and Moss cannot WAIT for it to end. Which makes me sad for the team.... What a mess we are all in.Good news is we get the 4th place schedule...Arizona and Tampa next year.

the redskins really have'nt thrown downfield at all this year!
maybe that will change because of campbell.i'm sick of seeing these little swing passes to betts and cooley.they only way you can make plays better is by throwing the ball down field,not on screen passes every other play!

The change in QB just might energize some guys and Thomas has already alluded to the fact that they know they have to step up in order to help Campbell out.
The Cowboys seem to be a pretty good example of this.

Especially if he can come in and make some plays right off the bat that Brunell couldn't, I think the team as a whole will be jacked up.

*saves post*
Unfortunately the defense STILL sucks, and the offensive line STILL holds. You have to love Randle El's versatility, but as a wideout he is worse than average. Lloyd has been even worse than him so far, although he's starting to make some big catches in 1 v 1 coverage (what he's paid to do).
Not saying they won't pick it up, just don't see any reason why they will.
But I appreaciate your conspiracy theroy that they weren't really trying for MB.
oh i've got a ton of your posts saved as well.
i don't know how you can make a conclusion about any of our wide receivers this season other than Betts. if you are judging them by how often they get the ball, consider, for just a minute, maybe that's why no.8 was benched and not the receivers.
it was far from a conspiracy theory, its what happens when teams lose hope, which in spite of your FO stats, matters very much in a football game. by this time everyone in the league knew what to expect from no.8, every defensive coordinator, every defensive back and sadly our own receivers. Lloyd was the first to show his frustration at the offense.
Gibbs saw the team's spirit sag along with no.8's passes. and thats why he made the change, the theory you made earlier, that Gibbs listened to the fans for this change, is far more ridiculous than any comment about the team's morale. something neither you nor FO acknowledge.

Wow, way too many people wanting to say I told you so. It couldn't POSSIBLY be worse than what Brunell was doing to the team.
I agree that it's not fair to judge ARE and Lloyd just yet... have they really had an honest chance to display their abilities?
I really don't think so.
I think given their limited opportunities they've looked pretty good. Lloyd has shown that he can stretch the field, and ARE has shown a nice ability to find holes in the coverage.
I'm really excited to see what they can do with a QB that has the ability to stretch the field.

One thing I can say, when Lloyds number has been called as a receiver... he's responds almost every time.
I've been very pleased with that acquisition.

Speaking of Randle El and Lloyd, have they not caught basically anything reasonable thrown their way? I don't think it's them being busts. We'll get a good idea within two to three games of Campbell's tenure if they were busts or not.
