May have to spend another $300 on beer just to get thru the games.

Are you going to watch the team or were you just looking forward to watching Ramsey play? What will you do if Brunell is playing and the Redskins win, even if it's 9-7? Still complain?

Fuck this, big ass mistake. FUck brunnel, what the hell is gibbs doing. He game brunnel 10 games last year. Now he's already giving up on ramsey.

I can't believe some people......

Whoever Coach Gibbs picks is the best option.

Personally I'd want to start Campbell, but if Coach doesn't think he's ready he probably isn't.

saskin · 09-12-2005, 07:44 PM

The way some people talk you'd think Gibbs is secretly working for Jerry Jones.

Gibbs is our coach, he is loyal to the Redskins and will do whatever he believes is necessary to win. Why did we hire him if we didn't want his opinion?

How many here think Musgrave played a big part of this decision? HMmmmmmmmmm....something fishy about this one.

saskin · 09-12-2005, 07:50 PM

That's a valid point about it might've been Musgrave....like someone brought up earlier. This might've been on the part of the coaching staff and not just Gibbs. Yes, Gibbs had part in it. But I'm sure it was most of the coaching staff.

Please save this post in archive....for those people that don't believe, make them eat crow when this is successful. Personally, and this kills me, we didn't stand a chance this week in Dallas with the offense whether its Ramsey or Brunell, it really doesn't matter. Unfortunately the turnovers and playing in front of a hostile crowd does not bode well for this team right now. I do think this team will still go 9-7 or 10-6 even with a loss Monday. It will take a few more weeks to iron out the few kinks left in the armour and this will be a dominant football team in November/December.

illdefined · 09-12-2005, 08:11 PM

so after a couple of pre-season games and 3 regular season drives, we now want BRUNELL?? congratulations guys, the Redskins fans have now gotten as bad if not worse than Eagles fans. biggest 180 i've ever witnessed and for what, the chance that a hamstring was what made Brunell's passes suck last year?

i'm definitely dissappointed in Gibbs, for all his integrity, he couldn't have treated Ramsey any worse, i mean ANY worse. it would have been merciful to let him go, but keeping him this long is the worst torture and has killed both his esteem and value.

i really hope he's pulling a fast one on Dallas and really having Ramsey behind center, else how could we believe anything else from Gibbs from here on out? all the talk and 'support' he gave Ramsey this off-season was BS? no way three drives equates to the season he TRASHED by keeping Brunell so long last season.

LadyT · 09-12-2005, 08:17 PM

illdefined - You're 100% right. Three drives for Ramsey doesn't even come close to equalling the many games he let Brunell lplay ast season before he finally yanked him.

I used to revere Joe Gibbs, but after his disgusting treatment of Ramsey, I no longer do. Why should any of the other players believe anything he tells them from here on out? And that is the real danger in what Gibbs had done today.

You won't read it in the papers, but you can bet that many of the players are talking about this among themselves and more than a few of them are probably just as disgusted as a lot of us are.

redsk1 · 09-12-2005, 08:20 PM

Let me say that i want to win no matter who the qb. With that being said, we gave Ramsey 1 qtr!! 1 qtr??? It was just on espn that ramsey gave gibbs a call and asked for a trade. 1 qtr? I hope brunell comes in and tears it up. I really do, but I remember last year. Gibbs promised Ramsey the job and took it after 1 qtr. I feel bad for the guy. Who has lost their job after less than 1 game? I know Gibbs knows what he is doing but I can't say agree w/ this harsh decision.

illdefined · 09-12-2005, 08:29 PM

our WR's last year left skid marks on their way out. you know Brunell hasn't had many reps with these new guys. how much confidence is the offense supposed to have now? how bout the defense? what's it going to take, another burned season? Brunell at 37?

Gibbs just did what he was brought in to PREVENT. even more instability, sure, pile it on, all those writers are going to be proven right. the most unstable franchise in the league. god i hope this is a trick for Dallas.

diehardskin2982 · 09-12-2005, 08:30 PM

I am very upset about the treatment of Ramsey and I feel this will seriously stunt his growth as a star in the NFL, if he ever will become one.

Ramsey:
6/11 105 yards sacked 2 turnovers 1
Brunnel
8/14 70 yards sacked 1 turnovers 0

From Gibbs standpoint, I guess he feels Dallas will be blitz heavy and he wants someone in there who won' t turnover the ball and manage the clock especially if we take a lead. If brunnel can throw it deep successfully I agree with the decision otherwise I don't.

Longtimefan · 09-12-2005, 08:38 PM

I said early in the spring when everyone was constantly bashing Brunell that we would see him again this season, I just didn't know it would be in week two. Whether we choose to beleive it or not, there are several players on the team that do not share many of us negative views on Brunell and I have first hand knowledge of their feelings.
What we need now is for Ramsey to be as supportive of Brunell as Brunell was of him because the way things look now we're going to need them both before the season is over. So, lets stay cool guys, dont kill anybody, keep the faith and stay supportive because we have a long way to go yet!!

Can I have a spot on the Bandwagon with you guys, too? Hail to the Redskins...no matter who the QB is! I've been with them through the glory years, and if they're going down in flames, I'll go down with them!
