I don't think we have a problem with our chain of command, or our personnel. I think we have a problem of perception. 2 years ago we were a bad football team, and through 11 games last year we were a bad football team. We got hot at the end of the year, but in the playoffs we eked by the Bucs with the lowest total yardage for a playoff winner in NFL history. I think Gibbs was trying to address that with Saunders and it hasn't worked out as of yet, but it will.

Yeah, I keep wondering about the great run at the end of last year. But if you look at it, we barely beat the Cardinals thanks to a punt return for a TD by a guy who's no longer on the team. Then we beat a very bad Rams team with their third string QB, kicked the crap out of flawed Cowboy and Giant teams, and came from way behind to beat the Eagles without McNabb and Westbrook.

So I don't really know how "great" or "talented" that team was, as much as we milked the most out of what we had against bad teams at just the right times.

Even The Washington Post already has a survey regarding his non-journalistic biased banter. I encourage you to help Fox Sports see to it that his contract is quickly terminated so he can go back to sniffing glue.

Why is everyone getting all bent out of shape over this? When you bring in a bunch of overpaid FA's, have 20 coaches and your 3-7, your going to get lit up by the announcers. WTF do all those coaches do? Both Gibbs and Saunders son's are on the offensive coaching staff. WTF do those two do? Watch video all day? What does Breux do? What does Jack Burns do? I'll tell you what they do. Collect a fat paycheck. Mass was right on the money with his comments and I didn't have a problem with it. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Maas ruins the game experience, simple as that. That's worth complaining about if you ask me.

Bill Maas is an Idiot. With a capital I.

maas is awful

MonkFan4Life · 11-20-2006, 09:25 AM

I swear he was chewing while making a comment once too ! He said something and then he repeated it and I swear it sounded like he was eating and talking. I really hate it when Washington is bad because they send Maas to cover the Skins games. I thought he was going to give Gradkowski a BJ during the game for showing his "passion" for the game.

The problem isn't the number of coaches or whether their titles conflict.

It's the players this pathetic front office has assembled.

Yes, but the players we bring in are based on the assessments of the individual coaches. Blache and Lindsey bring in their guys from Chicago (HoldMan, Daniels), Gray and Williams bring in their own guys (Vincent, Prioleau), etc. Its almost as though each of these coaches is getting way too much say in who we bring in (because of their previous experience as a headcoach/coordinator).

That Guy · 11-20-2006, 03:25 PM

well, you should be able to bring in guys that know your system. for depth it's not a terrible idea, but whoever thought these signings were ideal needs to get taken out of the personnel loop. bringing in jeff posey for vet min doesn't matter. screwing up the cap with crap like archuleta's contract are future killers.

and while maas was horribly annoying, at least he was well researched and accurate with his information (though he kept leaving the 'A off of saleave'a's name:/). joe buck and some of the other guys that have done skins games clearly didn't know nearly as much about what was going on with the team.

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-20-2006, 03:27 PM

I agree about all that. I know these people are familiar with their systems, but SHIT.

I hope that Gibbs calling out GW is like, "I changed QBs, what are YOU gonna' do?"

MonkFan4Life · 11-20-2006, 04:10 PM

They need to find a way to get Antonio Pierce back !

Didn't you hear, Sam Huff has a potty mouth.

This is the second Bill Maas sucks thread on this site in as many years, and there might have been even more. This guy is a joke. I know you guys hate Czaban, but it was funny last year when he called him an assault on the cochlia.

But it sure makes you appreciate Troy Aikman, huh?

So according to Maas we would have won more games this year if we had given our coaches different titles?

Not just changing the titles - getting rid of a few of them for some new coaches that aren't ol' geysers. Do you really believe we need Breaux as an offensive coordinator? Why not just give that to Saunders and get rid of Breaux altogether?

Having Maas call the game is just another indicator of how far the redskins have fallen.
