We had a total of one catchable pass dropped last game. It ended up being an interception. That's NOT exactly an excuse. Earlier in the year the WRs had some bad drops. However most of them they had to re-adjust to Ramsey again. A different velocity on the ball and both receivers told the WP that catching a right handers ball is different than a lefthanders. Adjustments were made and they seem to be about on par with other WR combos in the league as far as dropped passes.

The TEAM hasn't had a killer instinct? I know that screenpass is often the finishing blow to a defense, but how can you say the team hasn't had killer instinct. The playcalling has been so weak it's ridiculous. One first down to ice the game, we don't even attempt it. What's the difference between them having 2:30 left and 1 timeout and 2:30 left and none. Very little. Especially if we get a first down where we can just about seal the deal.

skinsguy: It seems many people on this board are such fanboys they absolutely refuse to think that what Gibbs is doing isn't working. Brian Mitchell, a former player, has put the blame square on Gibbs for several games. Along with other ex-players on the comcast post-game show. I didn't see their thoughts this week. So obviously it's not just those of us on the board thinking that. It's people who played the game at a pro level, and with Joe Gibbs. Please, remove the wool from your eyes.

It's not 100% his fault. I'd say 85% of it goes on the coach. Just like you said Spurriers problems were because of his coaching skills, Gibbs is failing on his side of the ball. While Spurrier didn't light up the score board on a consistant basis, he certainly got a lot less support from the defense.
