Gibbs isn't the same Gibbs of 1981-92 guys. The very fact that Saunders is here should tell you that. Gibbs called the plays during his first stint here and had at that time the most prolific offensive machine in the NFL til the Vikings of the mid to late 90's broke all the Skins offensive records. Also you had no FA, no greedy, uneducated morons only after bling, and a salary cap to hinder you back then. Gibbs also had Bobby Beathred to help build his team for him. Gibbs isn't cut out to be team president. It sucks to say th at but it is true. Play calling and clock management have been very poor at times, more akin to a rookie NFL coach than a HOF coach. Injuries and lack of execution aside, we could still be 6-1 now if he didn't throttle back the offense as he has. If Gibbs can't right the ship this season, we need to have him step down and get Cowher or another real coach to takeover. If Gibbs stays his full tenure they will just hand the job to Williams who is not HC material. Are you guys really going to want to wait til Williams gets canned to see a winner in DC again? I think it has been a long enough wait don't you?
