That isn't the point of the thread.
The question is, "Do you trust Joe Gibbs?" Has Joe Gibbs given any reason for us not to trust him? Has he given us reason to question him....of course! He always has. Every coach will eventually give us reasons to question their decisions. However, it's the big picture that alot of us are looking at. While some may question Gibbs more than others, most of us have to agree that Joe Gibbs makes his decisions based on what he feels is best for this team, and what gives us the best opportunity to win. We can only judge that by what we see on television. We're not there in the locker rooms or on the practice field. Therefore, there is no reason why the coach would not be trusted. He's there with the team constantly.....we're not! That fact, coupled with his accomplishments make it a no-brainer to trust Coach Gibbs.
The thing about the bandwagon is simply this: whether out of pure emotion or sincere thoughts, several have displayed down right hatred of the coach. Even one guy stated he wanted Joe Gibbs and Mark Brunell killed. I do believe those types of people only see the small portions of the picture, and refuse to take a step back and see the entire picture. Those of us who are on the "Bandwagon" are simply there because we trust Joe Gibbs and right or wrong, we'll stick with the team and go down in flames if that is what happens. That's isn't to say we're never going to question Joe Gibbs or assume he's right 100% all the time. It just simply means, we're not going to be some type of weak minded fan who throws in the towel half way through the season or even as stupid as it has sounded to me....to throw in the towel after the first game of the season - a WIN at that! To me, that's not enjoying the game of football!
