I think it's a little over the top to call pessimistic fans treasonous if they are overally critical over the coach. Daseal is right...it is the coaches' responsiblity to have their players ready to play ball.....but the coaches, even the HOF coaches can only do so much. The players have to also take initative as well.

With that said...calling for Joe Gibbs' head is flat out stupid. Being critical of how he's done so far is understandable. After all, alot of us fans who have had the pleasure of watching the glory years have pumped Gibbs up and given the younger fans an expectation that Gibbs is the savior of this team.

You also have to keep in mind...Gibbs had some great players on his 80's teams...which helps quite a bit. Alot of players stayed together alot longer than what players do nowadays, and so the continuity was there.

But the long and short of it is this: I DO think Joe Gibbs gives our team the best chance at being rebuilt into the powerhouse it once was. I DON'T think changing coaches and tearing down the team is the answer. For Pete's sake...that's what we have been doing for the past decade...you see how that's worked out!
