Horatio Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 On WTEM this morning I overheard a telling comment from the folks who watched the Gibbs show on Saturday night. Gibbs was questioned about the whole lack of GM issue, and he said the things are the way they are now because he is COMFORTABLE with it. I think that's the problem with this team...Gibbs doesn't seem to realize (or care) that being comfortable in professional sports doesn't translate into winning...in fact I would say the opposite is true. The whole Archuleta thing is just the most noticeable example. It's pretty telling that he got benched and they had to go get a guy on waivers to replace him. On WTEM they were also talking about why the Skins wear the Michelin Man uniforms (white on white): because Gibbs let the players decide. Sounds like the inmates are running the asylum, and the unis are just one example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyriggins Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 YOu cant expect Gibbs to hire a GM, that's like Brunell benching himself. Snyder is the reason we dont have an GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do u really think that proves your point that Gibbs doesn't have control of the team because to me its a horrible example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan4ever Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I agree. Discipline needs to be restored to this team. It seems to me (especially on defense) that our players lost a step since last year. Our defense is getting either burned or run over(pick a game).I don't think Lavar Arrington and Ryan Clark would of made that much of a difference, but maybe i'm wrong. I'm not too surprised about our offense struggling but our defense was something you could count on the past 2 years.wha' happen????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideReceiver25 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 You can't buy a superbowl team. I don't know what happened. The season wasn't great last year but the Skins were not beat this bad. Gibbs changed all the cooks in the kitchen so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I am sick of the white on whites. What happened to the White Jerseys and Burgandy Pants. Bring em Back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhetzler Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Things COULD change, but they won't because Brunell must have pictures of Gibbs having "relations" with a sheep or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddydean Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The fact of the matter is that none of us know anything when you get right down to the bottom of it. I'm tired of people like this sitting around writing posts that are seemingly insightful but have no factual basis. The only thing we know for sure is that SOMETHING is wrong. Beyond that we really have no idea. After all we are only fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 I am sick of the white on whites. What happened to the White Jerseys and Burgandy Pants. Bring em Back!! Won't happen, not as long as Gibbs continues to allow Clinton Portis to decide what uniform to wear because of his preference for burgundy socks. I'm not suggesting that the players picking the uniforms is CAUSING the Skins' problems, but it is a symptom because it's indicative of the players having too much input. Too many players in the NFL apparently like the clownish uniforms from Any Given Sunday...which is why the Skins wear their Michelin Man unis for Monochrome Madness.

nneece Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 YOu cant expect Gibbs to hire a GM, that's like Brunell benching himself. Snyder is the reason we dont have an GM. Gibbs is President of football operations. He could make it happen if he wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Who gives a **** about uni's?? When you mention players that the GM Gibbs has aqquired/traded/drafted don't leave these players out the discussion: Clinton Portis Marcus Washington Sean Taylor Santana Moss Cornelius Griffin Chris Cooley Casey Rabach Shawn Springs.
