Gentlemen:

I knew with certainty that some people would be angry with my original posting. I hoped that others might be able to look back on all the "can anyone trust Joe Gibbs now" threads and wonder if the things they saw in the Monday night game might run counter to the assertions made there.

Obviously, not many folks here can or want to do that. That's their choice not mine.

Does winning on Monday night cure all the offensive woes of the team? Of course not. All you had to do was watch the first 55 minutes of Monday night's game to know that this team still needs a lot of improvement on that side of the ball. But winning is what the games are about. Getting that win is far more important than any sidebar issue of player/coach interactions or anything of that ilk.

As I said in a post about 3 months ago when Patrick Ramsey was the #1 QB and it looked as if he would stay there for the year, he needed to improve in about five or six areas of the game - - unless of course the Redskins won the NFC East. If the Redskins win the NFC East, then it will not matter if they have the 24th rated offense or their QB has the lowest rating of any division-winning QB since they kept that stat. Because the bottom line is winning. Stats are much more important to losers than they are to winners.
