Who called the 2nd timeout?

EternalEnigma21 · 12-02-2007, 04:42 PM

what is one more year going to hurt? A new coach is just going to go through a bunch of bullshit when he gets here cause we're not doing things his way. there are a couple of adjustments that need to be made to get this team on track and given the circumstances with the injuries and death of our best player, I say give it time.

I don't see how anyone could form or change an opinion of this team based on this game

To play devil's advocate for a minute here. Let's just suppose someone else (Danny Smith?) had called the timeout, does anyone really think Gibbs would have done anything other than take the blame for it?

I'm not saying Gibbs didn't call the timeout. I'm sure he did. But if he didn't, do you think (save for video evidence) anyone would ever know?

i see your point and yes you are most likely correct in assuming he would, but honestly this is what you get when you take the heat for it.

only head coaches can call timeouts right?

I think Gibbs acknowledged calling both, but does the TO really make a difference. We should not have allowed then the opportunity to be in FG range.

This argument bothers me. Did this penalty directly lead to the Redskins loss? We don't know. Chances are Lindel would have hit it through. However, when you knock 45 feet off of a FG attempt in a cold rainy atmosphere, you're doing the other team a huge favor. Losses aren't often based on one mistake, a loss is based on the compilation of mistakes. When those mistakes are coming from the coaches, it's really bad. The Oline did struggle, but in fairness, the defense didnt give up a single TD and our offense gave up 2 of those points.

This just added fuel to the fire. If it were just this week, kinda understandable. But we're seeing a trend and not going after it.

If this was any other coach I really think he'd be fired but its Gibbs so he wont.

It was stunning to hear the "Joe must go!" chants at the beginning of Post Game live. Who would have imagined Gibbs et al would be such a disaster? Not me thats for sure.

I heard that too. I was trying to figure out what they were saying but, I'm apparently kinda deaf. Looks like the fans are done coddling Gibbs. I personally don't agree with Gibbs 2.0 but I go with whatevers best for the team. And if that's Gibbs, then I fully support that. But to hear people out there actually chanting that they don't even want him anymore.. That's gotta hurt.

I presume that most of the "Joe Must Go" chanters were (a) teens who weren't alive for Gibbs I and/or (b) the ahistorical, "what have you done for me lately" types. I am pissed at Gibbs for the T.O. and the buck stops at his feet, but my strong sense of history and loyalty to the man who MADE this franchise make me want to let the man coach as long as he wants.

It was drunken rage. You know how alcohol makes people moody.

It's not the alcohol. I'm convinced most of our fanbase is bi-polar. Redskins fans should be issued a prescription for prozac with every jersey purchase.

The cam didnt show who was chanting but most NFL games I go to dont have many teens in attendance. The voices sounded like adult men but the cam didnt show them.

Who cares about Gibbs 1? Thats ancient history. Sports is a what have you done for me lately thing and Gibbs hasnt done squat lately.

I care about Gibbs I. If our first and only three Lombardis under Gibbs mean nothing to you....nevermind. Maybe you're the type of person who has a "what have you done for me lately" attitude, I'm not.

Sorry, not EVER could those words leave my lips. Yes, I'm fustrated, but I am loyal to the end. I've been to the promised land of SBs 17,22 and 26.
