Gibbs looks angry during press conference

[SmootSmack]

They tried some trickery with Cooley throwing to El. I prefer it when it's the other way around.

Maybe it was inexperience at QB combined with a good pass defense? At what point do we start raising some eyebrows at Randle El's production as a wideout?

Look at his career stats. What did you expect from the guy, a 1000 yard season?

Well, his career stats as the #3 receiver behind Hines Ward and Plaxico Burress on a team committed to the run like the Steelers were bound to be diminished.

Maybe I was hoping the front office saw something in his athletic ability that I didn't ?

For the money that was thrown at him, I guess I expected better than one catch for 14 yards when our best wideout was injured. I mean James Thrash did better than that, for crying out loud.

You just answered your own question "#3 receiver". What would give you any faith in our front office?

I was doing that last week.

I like Randle El, I wanted Randle El, thought he'd look good in Burgundy, and I still do. Just understand that as a wide receiver, there's nothing special about him. What's special about him is that he CAN hold his own at WR, while doing so much more for this team.

If that's the case then don't overpay for his services. He's not worth the money they are paying him. Another bad move by the bad front office.

I think that was our best move this offseason.


But after we already brought in Lloyd, why not go spend the money on a lineman or something more useful?

Come to think of it, why DID we give a 3rd and 4th for Lloyd, if we were planning to outbid for Randle El.

A side note...I think Jason Campbell played more than well enough to have won us a ball game,but he has completely NO HELP from anybody else with the exception of Loyd, ARE, and Cooley.

sauners, playcalling, and defense have been blamed for weeks upon weeks. too badd lloyd couldn't have helped by catching the long bomb.

you took the words right out of my mouth..
more than anything we want redskins football and this aint redskins football....and it,s killing me...i would have loved to see campbell in sooner this year though.

GW has always said his first priority is to stop the run, but we can't do that for some reason. I think the problem with the defense is that very few of those guys are hungry. We need a couple of UFA's to balance it out and get the energy up.

Gibbs should be pissed, most of those runs were straight ahead and those are "manhood" issues. I mean the Bucs had no running game for most of the year and they run on us like that? And with no running game we had to rely on Campbell a lot more, and he still produced.

Cooley, Ok. But Lloyd and ARE both dropped passes that would have been first downs. Lloyd's was especially costly.

[skinsguy]

There was one pass thrown to Loyd that he caught and would have came down in bounce, however he was forced out and the refs called it an incomplete pass. I'm talking about the inconsistent running game and playcalling. It's almost as if they're just drawing plays out of a hat. I think we should've kept with Joe Gibbs offense from a year ago and just added the receivers.

Wasn't it Joe Gibbs who wanted Al Saunders in here? Plays often look like they've been "drawn out of a hat" when the players who run them don't execute.

Thats exactly what i said a couple of weeks ago, go with the new wr's and use same system. but a few people here, i will not mention any name, said basically that it wouldnt have worked either..

He should be angry. We went from contender last year to arguably worst team in the league under his watch.
