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.
