I don't think we should set our expectations too high this season buddy. Thats a good way to lose faith right off the bat. Look for the guys that manage to make it through training camp, (trust me alot won't) to start gelling as a single unit. I look for better things the following year...IMHO.Originally posted by BuddyLee
will the redskins make it to the playoffs in the 2004 season?? i think yes!
The one thing that concerns me about coach Gibbs' return is the extraordinarily high expectations that everyone seems to have. Remember: He lost his first five games as the head coach of the 'skins. It took a year or so to get to the superbowl.
The game has changed some since he left, but I think his style will still produce. Let's just hope that Danny Boy keeps his fingers out of the pie. Danny can go figure out how to make the Redskins profitable (something he has done well) and stay out of the way of the people that make the team successful on the field. If he can just learn that ONE lesson, the 'skins have a chance, but if he treats Gibbs like he has treated the last three coaches, we're done before we've begun.

there is no such thing as building for next year, you will allways have players leaving,... as players either join or reach peak. there is only now..........good coaches don't need a next year, I know there are some exceptions, but, then again, exceptions are not the 'rule'...............no, ...good coaches whatever the reason, come in, and impact is imediate.......if coach Gibbs still has that horse shoe up his........well, we , that is the redskins will be in the playoffs next year and in a superbowl not soon there after, I have allways been a redskin fan...........this year I had, had enough..........I was going to turn to NASCAR..........then, Gibbs turned in my direction? I'm going to give football and the redskins another chance, just as I have for over thirty four years,
Funny how I was going to follow his sport and instead, in my hour of football despair, like so many others, he turned in our direction.
Bless Gibbs and bless the Redskins a lot of people in the area seem to be more happy when they win.............Oh, and, I will remember all you guys that said we sucked when we were down, and then try to jump on the band wagon...............I was real good at picking you out in '82, '87 and '91

It took Gibbs, two, count them TWO years to win the SuperBowl, when he was a rookie coach......... Maybe you haven't followed his carreer? It wouldn't matter if it was Chess, checkers or monoploy..........Gibbs is a smart man and knows how to adapt to any game...., did you listen to his press conference? He stated he will pick good players and it is his experience that the rest will follow........... not allways the fastest or strongest. His last go round you had to pass a psychological test to be a redskins before they drafted you....... Heart and brains were the main criteria, and I'm sure they will be again

I do want them to win, But everyones putting to much pressure on Joe Gibb. We need to give him time to be home first.

Too Much? how does one 'hope' too much when one only hopes for successs? We are only, and this kills me, talking about football? People face much greater odds against life and the things that go against them, and yet hope for a better day, if not for themselves, for their children, no,.... there is no such thing as hoping for "too much".
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: will the redskins??
Your right. All I'm saying is that they are putting too much pressure on Joe Gibbs. I want them to win. But if you put too much pressure on a person he might fall. I know Joe won't let us down. They just need to give him a brake to be back, that's all.
