I'll try to answer your random thoughts

I think Ramsey has some bonheaded throws still to make in his repertoire because I think that he still has too much confidence that his big arm can get a ball into a slot that it really can't. He has to learn. Wold he have learned more starting all year? Of course. Would it have taught him enough not to make that disastrous throw? I don't know.


Gibbs looked fine to me in terms of health.


There are a whole lot of season ticket holders for Skins' games who don't give a rat's ass about the Skins or even football. So they sell their tix for any "invonvenient games". These include Sunday Nite and Monday Nite and "bad weather probable" dates and games when the Skins are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. There are thousands of fair-weather fans who hold season tickets. That's why there was so much green in the stands last night and why there will be a lot of purple at the final game with the Vikings.


Johnson and Kiffen are significantly older than Williams and may have decided that they just don't need the added aggravation of a head-coaching job this late in their lives. Williams has already taken the plunge once and would probably take another shot if it were offered to him. Hopefully, that will be about two or three years from now...


I agree with you about the threads on how the Skins have turned the corner and how they are one break away from being in the Super Bowl next year. Go check out the thread called "Reality Bites!"


I agree that Portis should carry more. But last night, he just wasn't getting much business done when he did get the ball. So, I'll give Gibbs a pass on last night's run/pass mix. Now next week against SF has to be a different story...
