Fact or Fiction: Skins in the playoffs in 2005?

[firstdown]

I think gibbs will take a long hard look at this year and make the necessary ajustments in the offence to adapt to todays defences. I have seen gibbs grow this year to adapt to todays games. Remember how confused he looked on the sidelines in some of the first games wasting timeouts and having trouble with getting the plays in. We have not seen that in the past four or five games, He adapted.He is a great coach and will work hard with the offence and we will be in the playoffs with a top 15 offence and a top five defence.

We have the talent to win the super bowl next year, but we also have the talent to have made the playoff's this year, we have to hope that the Gibb's system is a system that takes a good half to most of a season to really grasp, ala 81',82' season's, could it be that the complexity of his offense need's that kind of time to really become comfortable and functionable for the player's? It happened once before, maybe, just maybe that's what's going on now with our offense, remember Gibb's lost his first 6 games his first year with us, plenty of people wanted his head, good thing JKC stuck with him, the scepticism he is recieving now is to be understood that's the nature of the buisness, but it also act's like a motivational tool for the coaches and player's nobody want's to be booed or have their abilities questioned it's a definite motivator, I have been waiting for that 1 game when everything click's and we start our ascention to the top, I just thought it would come sooner than it has given Gibb's experience now compared to when he first started out back in 81', perhaps the layoff is far more of a hinderence than lack of head coaching experience as was the case in 81'. I think Gibb's will get up to speed but I don't think it will happen until next season he will need an offseason to clear his head.
