I'll blame it on the playoff euphoria

Critics were wrong. The game hasn't passed Joe Gibbs by.

Gibbs made the Pro Football Hall of Fame because he's smart, organized and players love him. And with the game, season and playoffs all on the line against the Eagles Sunday afternoon, Gibbs heeded the advice of a star player.

The Redskins are "in," but they have a short week and a lot on their plates. The Redskins are going to hear today from possibly four teams -- Minnesota, St. Louis, Kansas City and Houston -- who want to interview defensive coordinator Gregg Williams this week. Cornerback Shawn Springs suffered what might be a significant groin injury. Cornerback Carlos Rogers has been out with a biceps tear. Marshall suffered an injury that needs to be checked out Monday. Recently, they lost guard Randy Thomas.

Still, the Redskins are in the playoffs. It's a credit to Gibbs. It's a credit to guts and power.
