So, when Portis proves the doubters, or doubter wrong, then who do we move on to complain about next? First, it was Gibbs being washed up and that the game has passed him by, obviously that doesn't look to be the case now. Gibbs not having the ability to pick the quality players he needs without Bobby Beathard, and the only crutch holding that case up was Mark Brunell based on his performance last season. Now, that crutch has been taken away by how well Brunell has played this year.

I swear, it's almost as if people are wanting the other shoe to drop just for the sake of being right. To me, that's just plain sick! It's usually justified by saying, "I'm just keeping it real and not drinking the kool-aid, blah blah blah Rose-colored glasses blah blah blah." The fact is, it has already been proven that the Redskins have vastly improved themselves from last year. And, as we have seen so far, it's not because we have under gone major changes to the offense (besides installing the shotgun formation,) but because Gibbs was smart enough to go get the quality receivers we didn't have last year (something I said last year was all this offense needed to get things going.)

Furthermore, we're 3-1. That's alot better than 1-3! Sure, you can side with Pastabelly and say we haven't played anybody yet, but part of being a good team is beating the teams you're supposed to beat. If we can continue to do just that in these next two weeks, we could easily be 5-1! Each week, we continue to improve...if you can't see that - you're blind! The only thing now is to get more points on the board, but I'll tell you, if we have an offense that is able to move the ball and gain yardage as much as we have been able to, the points are going to start coming.
