but its time togo. THERE I SAID IT!!! Please take EVERYONE with you.Cowher's name is coming up in Baltimore too!!!I think the skins need someone new, a hardazz to whip 'em into shape. Ravens D coordinator Ryan or Singletary...M Nolan and Lewis will likely be available at the end of the season as well.I'm sorrybut its time togo. THERE I SAID IT!!! Please take EVERYONE with you. Calling Russ Grim or Bill Cowher!!!!! Please report to Redskins Park ASAP!!!!!
I disagree with the bolded part. How can you bash Campbell in the next sentence after you've just finished criticizing how stupidly plays have been called? Campbell is fine and is where you'd think he'd be under the circumstances. If you want to jump on individual players' performances, I'd start with the WR's, and then move to Wade and Fabini.
Sorry, its just me being down on the Skins. But, after the last 7-8 years, you just assume Campbell wont pan out. I dont like anything about the offense. Campbell isnt good enough to win games on his own, and the Skins have no one to help him. Portis hasn't looked the same since his injury last year. Santana Moss and Randle El don't scare anyone. The line seems to suffer 2 or 3 injuries year in year out. Gibbs and Saunders obviously aren't working together well. Not sure what the problem is, but I dont think this franchise is going anywhere. Spinning wheels..
This past week against he Patriots was the first week I didn't see Campbell make improvements from game to game. And I'm not sure how down you can get on the entire franchise with so many injuries to the backbone of the offense.
Hard to imagine how he could show improvement under the circumstances.
I agree though that in the discussions about the 'Skins the effects of the injuries are getting underestimated.I keep having a arguement with a friend of mine about how Portis sucks because Betts was running so much better last year. When the entire offensive line gets banged up and misses games production will go down.I couldn't agree with you more that if the WR (namely Moss) was catching the ball more we would be in much better shape.Hard to imagine how he could show improvement under the circumstances.
We can only hope. However, I don't know who they'd replace him with. Nolan is doing his best to keep the NE Dynasty going by sending them our #1 in 2008.Cowher's name is coming up in Baltimore too!!!I think the skins need someone new, a hardazz to whip 'em into shape.

It's a good point, though my impression is that Gibbs would/will remain on as team President after he steps down as coach.
If Thomas and Jansen are healthy I think they have at least one more win at this point and are being talked about as one of the top NFC teams. The loss of those two was devastating, worse than I (optimistically? homerishly?) thought it would be when it happened. They might have managed all right losing one of them, but both has been a
Listen, as a diehard Steeler fan who loves Cowher...Washington's one thing, that's OK. But if Bill goes to the Ravens...Nahh, not gonna happen, right? I really could not stand that...Cowher's name is coming up in Baltimore too!!!I think the skins need someone new, a hardazz to whip 'em into shape. Ravens D coordinator Ryan or Singletary...M Nolan and Lewis will likely be available at the end of the season as well.I'm sorry
I'm a bit leery of retread coaches, even successful ones. I'm a bit concerned how much fire Cowher has in his belly at this point, not that he'd mail it in, but like Parcells will his best work have been at the beginning?Listen, as a diehard Steeler fan who loves Cowher...Washington's one thing, that's OK.

The line becoming healthy is the only thing Skins can hang their hat on. The defense is certainly good, but not good enough to make up for an anemic offense. Imagine if they had not signed Kendall??If Thomas and Jansen are healthy I think they have at least one more win at this point and are being talked about as one of the top NFC teams.

If your looking into the future, Jansen's probably done as a high caliber starting tackle. Maybe a move inside to OG prolongs Big Jon's career in DC. Thomas will return and is relatively young. But besides that, another problem with this team is that it is not well built to transition to new players. There's an alarming lack of depth and most of the best players are on very high end deals that make it hurt even more when they are not performing up to par. I'm also hoping Santana Moss' real body is returned as obviously an alien is playing in his place right now.The line becoming healthy is the only thing Skins can hang their hat on.

Agreed. He no longer gives the impression of being mentally nimble and ahead of developments during the game, like he's dictating what happens rather than reacting. He seems tentative, and I think that the whole process of relearning NFL coaching has shot his confidence. Still, I'll give Gibbs credit where credit is due- he changed the personality of the team and stabilized the personnel situation (though it's still not perfect). There's a LOT more talent on this roster than there was when he took over, night and day actually.
Lots of NFL people are really impressed with Campbell. I am not good enough to tell myself, but they say he shows good judgment and vision and will be something special in time
He does alter the game plan. Away from what was working. The Skins aggressively build up nice leads against the Cards and Giants, only to go into a conservative, predictable shell with the lead. I'm all for playing smart, but damn. Run, Run, Pass, Punt gets pretty boring after a while.
I just want to point one thing out about Cowher: I don't think he had much input on players to keep and cut. He was "dealt a hand" and he played what he had. I believe the Steelers front office made the ultimate decisions with players, and Cowher played the hand he was dealt.I believe Cowher had a voice, but ultimately, ownership made the decisions.Cowher as a Redskin would make sense to me.But what do I know...
A 8 or 9 win team is all a lot of people thought they were going into the year. Honestly I would be happy with 8 or 9 wins, this past off-season was a bit different. Snyder wasn't chasing all the big name guys (I wish he would have chased Moss) if they continue to put a bit more effort into the draft and build solid block by solid block we can be better for longer.I don't think Gibbs has lost it. To me he looks better this year than last year, as far as leads in the first half turning into losses. The only one this year was against the Packers, they held the Packers to something like 50 net yards in the second half. You can't adjust much better than that.
They didn't score in the 2nd half, this is the alarming thing. Putting too much on the defense to be perfect with the lead.17-3 Redskins over Giants at the half = Redskins loss (again no Redskins points in 2nd half)
Well, that may be...but, lets not even talk about the play calling at the goal line at the end of the Giants game.. probably no need to even rekindle that old chestnut. I'm not sure I've ever seen a QB/offense/coach EVER look so unprepared for a situation than that. Gibbs looked like Herm Edwards circa 2004.
