Outlook for the rest of the season?
 

Vote and discuss

I believe they're just around the corner from being a very good team. However, the reality is that we are 1/4th into this season and if we want to hold on to our playoff aspirations for this season then starting this weekend we need to start turning "progress" into real results. So there's still time but the clock is ticking

There is plenty of time for them to put things together but we need to see better performance from players on the field and less platitudes from players into microphones.

I voted "still time but clock is ticking".

I still have faith in this team and will ALWAYS have faith in Gibbs.

When Gibbs blew off Parcells at the end of the Dallas game, I don't think he intended to be rude to Bill. It's just that he HATES losing. That's why I think Gibbs will get it turned around sooner than later.

I'm not old enough to remember Gibbs, so I may be the only one who doesn't exempt him from blame. Gibbs said that "Brunell palyed his heart out," if he believes that, the game has passed him by. I blame playcalling, bad challenges, a lack of discipline (which includes fumbles) and poor clock management. They're not executing and I don't think that a Mark Brunell led offense will ever put up big points.

Say what you want about his greatness or his leadership guess what the highest number of touchdowns Brunell has EVER thrown...19! He's never even gotten to 20 and, no offense, but Keenan McCardell and Jimmy Smith is a better 1-2 then Coles and Gardner.

Brunell had 20 TD passes in 2000 and 1998 (in just 13 games).

I voted still time, but clock is ticking. I think we're real close, but we have stop shooting ourselves in the foot. But we're close. Eliminate the turnovers, get the ball in the endzone, and continue to play solid D and we should be fine.

Still time, clock is ticking. Another loss or two in the next 3 or 4 games and I'd say were in deep trouble. I'm just looking forward to this week, cause I think were close. We need to really cut down on the big mistakes and all the other obvious stuff. We need to ring off two before the bye, but hopefully were close.

I apologize I was incorrect. I know I was told that he either hadn't thrown 20 or more than 20...one or the other.

I voted no worries cuz before this season started most people were saying it'd be our defense that would be our weakness but thus far it has been our strength and I fully believe the offense is on the verge of being a fully cohesive unit. They've shown flashes of how potent the offense can be and also blown it on bonehead plays or series. We r only 16(13 spread out to tie plus the extra point in each to win the games) points away in our last 3 games from being 4-0 so I'm holding strong to my belief that the team can still be the team we dreamed it'd be this year.

Thru & Thru
 

I'm with you thru & thru. It's good to hear someone hasn't thrown in the towel already. I actually hear someone say, "Bring Back Spurrier." Is that not,the most ridiculous thing that you've ever heard.

I'm one of the "clock ticking" votes. After Cleveland, my expectations came crashing down to earth. JG will make a difference, either this year or next. I am, however, of the mind that we should not EXPECT to be in the play-offs. Rather, I HOPE that we make it.

For the long run, patience. As Matty said elsewhere, Gibbs is too smart and too determined to win for him to fail in the long term.

We're 1-3 and no one on the team feels like this is a 1-3 team. You've got to think with all the playmakers we have on offense that our scoring has got to pick up.

I still remember the first Gibbs tenure and the one thing I know is that the guy can coach football. It's coming, maybe not in time to make a playoff run, but the offense will start to play better.

gibbs is still feeling out the new NFL right now... i think our biggest problem is field position and run blocking on the O line still, above play calling or the QB or any of that crap...
