What Is Wrong With The Offense?

[MTK]

A personal relationship and bond is one thing, but saying that Gibbs favors him simply because of religion is garbage.

The man didn't win as many games as he has by playing favorites based on who goes to church with him.

Yeah of course religion is not the sole factor, but because of the way Gibbs is religiously, the fact it was his call to spend boatloads of money on Brunell, and how Gibbs is known to stick with his QB even in bad times all adds to it. I think claiming religion is the sole reason is incorrect, but considering it a piece of the puzzle may not be a huge stretch considering the facts above.

I mean look at it this way, there is no denying that if there was a QB on our roster, 100% equal to Brunell in skill, Gibbs would go with Brunell because of their personal relationship, which also occurs in church. The main question is, by going to the same church, have they both developed a closer bond? I would think so. Now does this bond influence his choice of who to put as starter to some extent? Perhaps, we don't know.

Ramsey and Campbell are also religious people. When he was here Ramsey and Brunell spent a lot of time together. What if, and I don't know if it's the case or not, Gibbs went to church with all his QBs? Would this religion argument still hold water?

My problem with gibbs he to loyal to a qb that never won anything for him. 2004 was so painful to watch and take. So were the playoffs games last year and especially most of this year. The redskins will never win a championship with Brunell and most likely won't make the playoffs again with him. He not a big game Qb he has had some moment but he cant take the team on his back when we need him to. Never gave Ramsey a fair shot which is fine but geez how many shot does Brunell get. We trade 3 or 4 picks to get campbell and who knows how good he is, i dont think he great but hey rather take my chance with a younger guy since most likely were not going anywhere.

Coach Gibbs has said himself that he prays about major decisions he has to make. I don't think he literally prays about who needs to be in what position, but I do think he is the type of man who prays for wisdom in all areas of his life and career.

yikes. can we have a discussion about Gibbs not being or involving God at all?

Czaban is a jackass.

These guys on the radio who do nothing but try to drum up controversy are really ridiculous. Whatever happened to supporting the home team, that doesn't mean you have to be a blind homer but with some of these guys you have to wonder what their true agenda is.

It's a national show so I guess they don't consider themselves local enough to support a home team. I actually love the show. Czaban is funny and the show is often really good but his views when it comes to the Skins are really jaded. He is a devote Skins lover and hates the losing and REALLY hates Danny Boy. I think the biggest issue is that he used to do a show with Gibbs and Gibbs got pissed at some of Czaban's questioning and stopped doing the show. He is just really jaded when it comes the the coaching staff and front office. Everyone else on the show are fans of other teams so they get no love there.

If you want support for the home team you have to tune into Snyder owned Redskins Radio. Unfortunately the signal on the stations are so weak you can barely get them in the DC area let alone NY where you are.

The funny thing about the Snyder owned stations is, John Riggins(who hated Snyder six months ago) is now working for him. He does an afternoon radio show that focuses on the Redskins, and he questions coaching decisions all the time. He's not quite the Gibbs homer that you would expect. He just said yesterday that it might be better if Washington loses to the Titans, because it would spark changes in the lineup.

The religion argument holds no water. Next topic.

True, Brunell has looked inconsistent, but so has the offensive line.

Thoughts?

I think it's quite simple. We went on the road following a hard fought win at home against a defense that sees us twice a year, with multiple linebackers who used to play for us. The offense didn't play horrible at all, I just think we ran into a very prepared defense with HFA on it's side. The raw offensive numbers can be decieving because time of possession was so damn lopsided against us. Brunell was 12/22 (55%) I believe. Thats average at best. But, on the road espicially, Brunells figures will be a microchosim of team offensive production. Not a true measure of Brunell himself as a QB.

I think the real question is "What is Wrong with the Defense?" And I hope the answer is Shawn Springs.

Games don't come down to one play, you can always look at a game as a whole and find a myriad of other plays and circumstances that contributed just as equally as the more obvious ones.
