I agree one meaningless win in week 17 doesn't amount to much in the grand scheme and I'm not saying today eases the pain of the season in the least bit. Given the choice though, I feel much better ending the season the way we did than if we just rolled over today and got smoked 35-10.
The team over the course of the season has shown a ton of heart and fight, and it never decreased even when times got tough and when the team pretty much knew they were out of it. The character of the team was tested this year, and they reacted in the way a Gibbs team reacts, they fight and scrap til the very end.
This season helped weed out the non-core Skins, and helped shine the light on guys Gibbs knows he can go to war with next year and build the foundation of the team upon.
6-10 is what it is, it sucks. The naysayers will say that Gibbs had a bad year, and even some idiots will say he should be fired. I agree he's had a rough first season full of adjusting, and at times the 'new' NFL has hit him like a slap in the face. But what we can hang our hats on is the fact Gibbs is going to work his tail off to get this straightened out and on the right track.
The '04 season might have ended today, but the '05 season starts tomorrow for Gibbs.
