Second, I never said that Gibbs should have Ramsey "throw bombs on every pass play."

Third, I also know what Joe Gibbs is doing and it's not good. Thirteen points per game is awful. You change the QBs and our offense still stinks. You change the olinemen and our offense still stinks. You rotate the wideouts and the offense still stinks. Something stinks and its the playcalling.

Fourth, I also think Gibbs will get it right in the long haul.

Fifth, you can say that Gibbs is brilliant but the playbook sucks. I never said Gibbs was an omniscient, omnipotent God. I said he was brilliant and he, like anyone else, can make mistakes. It just appears that no one thinks he can do any wrong.

Some people think Gibbs needs to retire and I strongly disagree. But for every one of those people, you have someone who, under no circumstances, will EVER criticize Gibbs because of the 3 Super Bowl trophies. To me, that doesn't make sense either.

I try to look at Gibbs objectively and I like certain things about him and dislike certain things about him (as a coach). He's a great person and is indeed brilliant, but his playcalling hasn't been.

Nice post.

When Gibbs came back he said repeatedly from the start, "I'm not a miracle worker, this is going to be hard work, this isn't going to happen overnight"

And it seems like people either weren't listening or they just didn't want to accept that, so now when Gibbs isn't walking on the Potomac River leading the Redskins to a 9-0 record they just want to say well hell if he can't win now why is he even here?

And I'm not saying that Gibbs doesn't deserve criticism but I think he absolutely should get some benefit of the doubt because he has won 3 rings. Plus, he's not the first head coach to come back from a lengthy absence and take perhaps a season to adjust his philosophy to the current NFL
