All of us will blame a coach or player from time to time, but some of the comments I've seen here about Joe Gibbs and his coaching staff are rather disturbing coming from supposedly Redskins fans. What gets me are the comments about how the game has changed so much and that Gibbs' system is a system of yesterday. Now, don't get me wrong, this assumption has not been supported by everyone here who happen to be in their early 20's and younger, but mostly the ones who do support this are too young to honestly remember watching the Redskins under Joe Gibbs the first time...or watching any football in those days. Most of us who are practically 30 and over will say that some aspects of the game has changed...more of the player and money aspect...but most of us see the game played rather similar to how it was in the 70's and 80's...at least I can vouch for the 80's...and its pretty much the same game with a few rule changes. Sure, some will suggest that players are faster and stronger, but if that's true for other teams' players, its going to be true for our players as well. Now, if Gibbs AND his system fail miserably this go around and he quits, then and only then will I concede that he didn't have it anymore, but I'll continue to trust what Gibbs is doing for our team. That isn't following something or someone like a blind sheep....that is being a true fan who loves his team and supports it.
