Proud of the team for this season

That season still doesn't compare to ours.

And that Pats team didn't blow 5 second half leads, hence my reasoning that Gibbs should not be considered for coach of the year. With better red zone and clock management, this easily could have been a 10-11 win season with a cake walk to a wild card.

I am proud of the effort in the face of incredible adversity, and I praise Gibbs for holding the team together, but let's not give him a pass for some of the coaching clunkers (NY Giants and Philly) that put the team in a bind before Taylor died.

All that said, I do hope Gibbs returns. He has given us greater stability than any other coach during the Snyder regime. I hope that we continue to add talent through the draft - some of the best players on this team were Gibbs draft picks.
