fuji869 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I did not watch that many preseasons the first time Joe Gibbs was the head coach because my father was stationed in Japan for a good portion of it. I heard he did not put to much emphasis on it but were the real this boering? :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Most. What usually happened was the Skins would run the basics and look to evaluate guys and you would see other teams try and make plays and beat Gibbs, as if the preseason wins and losses mean a damn thing :laugh: I remember teams like Atlanta and a then-poor New England team beat the Skins and run around like they won the Super Bowl. Come December they were watching the Skins on TV in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I remember more than 1 skin's blowout. Don't take this game too seriously..unless you are the DB's. They have looked bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSurina Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Look at the 1982 season, we went 0-4 in preseason, then won the Superbowl. This is Joe Gibbs, he knows the preseason is to evaluate. Havinbg said that, after the game he will be very upset with the team. I think it is apparent that Martz did some regular season type of prep for this game.

matty dread Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 The preseason is a glorified scrimmage to Gibbs Give me a boring Gibbs preseason anyday over the fireworks of a Spurrier preseason. Have patience guys, come 9-12 we'll see what Gibbs has up his sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afparent Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 In gibbs last season, they lost to the Vikings 27-0 in the final preseason game. We also beat that same Viking team in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishomelette Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 yes they were usually boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLusby Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I also think Martz really wanted this one after the Bengal's handed it to them. Gibbs just evaluating players. Brunell is the starter and Russell is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I was just going to post that this was a typical Gibbs preseason game. We did nothing he'll do once the season starts. That's Gibbs to a perfect fit. I thought he might get angry at Martz running a reverse pass, but, even that won't set him off in the preseason. Trust me Fuji, after watching this game, when you see the opener, you'll wonder at how Gibbs could keep so much so secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Did you see the offense? You can't get down on the team when the offense is brutally vanilla. I don't think I've seen LESS from a team in preseason before. The defense NEEDS to blitz to get in some packages and timing down. Have you seen Marcus Washington blitz? Have you seen Arrington blitz at all? No. Not at all. If people can't ascertain that this preseason team will look nothing like the team that will open the season... I've truly got no time for them.

GSF Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Art and DH are right. Tonight's game was classic Gibbs preseason. The Skins used to always get whooped in preseason, and I remember really hating preseason games back then. Gibbs just isn't going to show much in preseason.
