Why the media doesn't believe in Gibbs

Kick off is 11 hrs away. Hope I can sleep between now and then. The media will be singing a different tune if we can find a way to win in Denver. I mean Denver has bad beer... 4-0!!!

i'm hoping we can take at least one of the next two, though 5-0 sounds a lot better than 4-1 ;)

Free agency is actually something that I believe works in Gibbs' favor. I think by Gibbs just being purely "Old School" is a negative thing in the eyes of the media. The media wants to push whatever is new and fresh....the very presence of Gibbs in the NFL pisses the media off...and I think that is just awesome! No matter how much stock one puts in stats, individual players, contacts.....it always comes back to the basic things..play smart, put for 110% effort, fight for every yard gained. Those are the things old school coaches like Joe Gibbs or Mike Dikta like to focus on.

I read somewhere that the Redskins had 26 free agents in the 1982-83 Supebowl season. The most to play in any Superbowl at that time. So Joe Gibbs has adjusted pretty well so far.

I absolutely agree. Gibbs builds a true team mentaility by building on the intangibles. The first thing he started talking about when he got the job was the 'Redskin family' and he tries to build that atmosphere. I remember Mark Schlereth talking about the skins a few years ago and he said that when Gibbs was there there were players with 'character' there. After he left there were just a bunch of 'characters'.

Yes indeed I've said it for years the media never gives him the credit he deserves.

They're way to busy sucking up to Bill Parcells. News Flash: Gibbs has one more Super Bowl ring then Parcells. I hate to say it but I believe some of it has to do with his openess about his faith.

Gibbs has not showed the other Coaches his secret weapon.

Yep!
An Easy Button!

:laughing- he put it to good use in that Cowboy game didn't he........

Gibbs believes in blue collar, lunch paid kinda guys, players that work as a team towards a common goal (winning) and players that leave their egos aside. He doesn't tolerate stupid mistakes. They avoid coaches/players with a strong faith like the plague (not politically correct) .

This is in sharp contrast to what the media likes---the flashy, trashy, big mouth players with a ME FIRST attitude........their is no I in team, but there is an ME.....
they don't like teams that work together and sacrifice for the good of the team.....

Not just in football, look at the NBA playoffs........the media cheered for the flashier teams.....the Heat and the Suns........but they got the team first, no ego Spurs/Detroit in the NBA finals.......the media was yawning before the finals started and yet it went down to 7 games and that game 7 was a classic.........
