I mean, they went through a whole game with:
[ul]
[li]no false starts.[/li][li]no motion penalties.[/li][li]no timeouts taken due to confusion.[/li][/ul]
Who are these guys? I know they’re not the Redskins, because the Redskins make these sorts of mistakes in droves, year in and year out, no matter who’s coaching.
Buncha ringers. I know it. 
I would imagine that Joe Gibbs had the perpetrators executed. Or traded to Arizona, if he was feeling particularly malicious.
Huh. It’s a league wide conspiracy. Dante Culpepper didn’t fumble once.
Old timey football courtesy of Joe Gibbs. Probably start John Riggins next week.
Nonono, RT, you missed the biggest part. See, it wasn’t enough that they didn’t do stupid stuff. Hell, remember that Dallas game a year or two back where they played really well but things just didn’t go their way?
Nah, man. This time they WON. Furthermore, their defense played well. True, it was against Tampa Bay, a team not entirely known for the explosiveness of their offense, but that defense allowed three points. Next week they go to the Giants, a team that lost by 14 (4th quarter touchdown included in that, and I don’t know if the Eagles’ 1st string was on the field for it) to Philadelphia.
This NFC East is gonna be something. If Portis stays healthy, Brunell doesn’t do anything stupid and Ramset pays attention (and, y’know, the O line and D line don’t take vacations), this could be an 11-5 year. Truth be told, I’d settle for 8-8 with a win at home against the Cowboys.
I’m making no predictions about wins or losses. But I’m just so delighted to see competence at long last - a team that clearly knows WTF it’s doing.
It was like a flashback to 1971, when George Allen became coach of the Redskins. Exactly the same sort of change. (Yeah, I’m old. :D)
Let’s not forget… Gibbs brought back Joe Bugle too.
I’m gonna be going to the Oct 3rd game Redskins @ Cleveland for the GrizzCub’s fourth birthday.
Awwwww yeee-eeeaahhhhh…
That was a very well played (by the Redskins) game yesterday. Gibbs has definitely done a good job, and I was really surprised at all of the good coaching help he was able to bring in. Williams’ squad was impressive and Bugle did a great job, too. Frankly, I’d forgotten that they traded for Portis, whom I’ve always liked, and would have expected to lose had I remembered. Bowen was a force on the defense and Arrington was his usual crazy self. Plus that crowd was loud!
Now, what will be interesting is if this is a strong Redskins team or a weak Bucs team. The Bucs offense has an almost entirely new offensive line, receiver corps and a couple of old, banged up guys at RB. Even with that they still could have feasibly won the game if a) Joey Galloway doesn’t drop that TD pass or b) Ian Gold holds the interception that Brunell threw to him (instead the Skins kicked a FG to go up 13-10).
Net, wait until you play at least one more game to get your hopes too high. Still, good game, class act of a coach. Did any of you all think that Gruden was dodging shaking Gibbs hand at the end of the game? That’s what it looked like from here. Even though he’s not one a Super Bowl Tony Dungy has more class in his pinky than Gruden has in his whole body.
Hey, you’re old, I watched a boatload of ESPNClassic. I still get chills seeing him dance in the locker room after that victory against the Cowboys.
Hoping this is the last coaching change for a few years, at least, and not simply due to the end of “Who The Hell Else Can I Bring in?” Syndrome.
