I think this is an important point. Joe Gibbs has made this a much better organization than it was before he came back from retirement. In terms of personnel moves, stability and character, we are far closer to being the "old Redskins" than we were under Turner or Spurrier. (To be honest, I think Schottenheimer had us on the right track, too...)

I know that I greatly underestimated how big of a mess Spurrier left behind here - and I think other did as well. In many ways, we were well on our way to becoming the Lions or the Cardinals - consistent losers with a bad front office.

So, while Joe Gibbs hasn't gotten us a fourth Lombardy trophy (yet), but we are back on the path to respectability. And a hard loss to the Eagles doesn't change that fact.
