Why didn't PR get the ball downfield, Daseal?
Was it quite possible that we didn't give him a chance to make big plays downfield? Sure, we threw the ball to Coles a lot, but I'm curious how many of those balls he caught behind the line of scrimmage. We were a running team, but when we did pass we threw screens and hooks, and curls. Our offense was owned by opposing defenses, ask Wilbon. You said that the reason we didn't throw was to protect Ramsey, and we've argued over this countless times. Why change your tune now and say that it's on Ramsey for not having the chance to throw it.

Schneed - I understand it's not an overnight thing and didn't expect a super bowl overnight. The problem is I'm not sure it's Oline chemistry holding us down rather than schemes and playcalling, which can be changed throughout a season. He had a whole offseason to work on it, and hopefully he'll come out blazing like we've been promised so many times before. It seems like we're so afraid of a turnover that we don't want to take any chances, but when you have a defense like ours you can take some chances to put up points.

Redskins P: Meant that comment for TAFKAS, not for you. I apologize for not seperating it.

I don't feel I've once attacked someone for having faith in Gibbs, they can have all the faith they want. As I've said multiple times, I think he will be successfull, but it may be at the hands of an offensive coordinator. This year will be a good gague of how much he's willing to adapt his gameplan.

What do you mean how did our WRs digress? We had Coles and Gardner, now we have a bunch of #3s. Love or hate him, Gardner was a very decent #2, and even with his bum toe Coles was a good enough #1 (though not what he used to be.) Please, tell me how they upgraded. Santana Moss had one good year, he's small, fragile, fast, and was getting ready to be NY's 3rd WR.

Not all QBs react well to having to look over your shoulder, and that doesn't mean they're a bad player. Ramsey has spent his whole career finally earning the starting job only to have it ripped away. How about we give the kid a chance to prove himself without having to worry about the next guy in line. I think Campbell will be a good player, but that trade was extremely costly.

I have my views on our offense, and everyone else has their own unique view. That's how it works. The problem is, no matter how you look at it, we were 6-10 and you can't blame our defense for that.
