I won money on the game, and I even had to give the Redskins 8 points.

I gotta disagree...
...and here's why;
We're way too far along into the journey with too much having gone into the decision to get and stay with Mark.
Add to that the constant free agent turmoil.
Add to that the new offensive upheaval.
Add to that the fact that Mark is playing about as well as he has since he got here.
Add to that that, unlike last year where Mark stuck out so glaringly poor at times on a team that, otherwise was pretty good, now, the D is a catastrophe.
The ONLY thing going for us right now is the Gibbs mystique and if that goes, if he suddenly says, 'well, I was wrong about Mark all along' then everything is lost. Every player decision, every coaching choice, the play calling, the army of staff, with those few words 'I was wrong about Mark' would be like a patchwork quilt, frayed and odd looking yet seemingly sturdy and warm, suddenly coming apart as that one key thread unravels.
Gibbs can't argue now, at all, that Mark isn't doing exactly what was just fine, to Gibbs, all along. He can't tell the players that. He can't tell the fans that. He can't tell his coaches that. he can't tell himself that and get away with it. Mark has been the constant. The leader. The guy to take the arrows when we lose and pass the credit when we win. He's been the beacon Gibbs always pointed to as 'not the problem'.
I think changing now causes more problems than it solves. As long a Mark is healthy, the change is gonna have to wait until off season or when we're mathematically eliminated.

Under Snyder we will always be a bust unless he changes his mentality... Spending millions of dollars every off season is not the answer, he needs to assemble a group of guys and let them play together... for a few years...
Or we could just pick Favre up this upcoming off season....

He doesn't mean for it to...
...turn out this way. Obviously, if there is THE way to get it done, no one has a monopoly on it's use.
It's almost getting more fun to watch how it, yet again, didn't work because enjoying 'steady progress' just ain't happening. I mean, over at ES, they've been talking for two weeks about just that very thing; what we need to go shopping for this next coming offseason.

I think your right Larry. I remember a few years ago under, Turner was it?, that the Skins were changing QB's every other game. that didn't work out too well. It will probably be better to stick with Brunell until at least the end of the season.Larry Gude said:
