There's no fire in this team - no meanness. The real problem is that so many close losses might lead upper management to believe that they just need to make a tweak or two to get the team to where they need to be. Tweaks won't help. The team is dysfunctional at its core. If the trading deadline hadn't passed (it has passed, hasn't it?), I'd be shopping Portis around for a defensive lineman and a second rounder right now.

I feel the coaching staff except maybe the defense is too lacks on their players, Gregg Williams is constantly getting into the face of defensive players will the offense just seem to mess up and have a seat on the sidelines, Im not ready to give up on Gibbs but something needs to change the teams attitude or some personnell coaching or players jimmie I feel that as a team we need to learn how to win and that is why we keep losing close games because as a team we dont know how to win.

Today was a poor showing, although I believe differently from you that this is where a "cliche" can be used. "Players must play the game on the field not the coaches" The second half showed a game plan which if excuted would have won this game, the supposed stars of the redskins..Moss and Portis did not perform. The 4th and one, gaining no yards, shows no heart or which team has more heart. To me even in free agency era, you still need to build a team with strong team players who will step-up. To me the future looks good with the coaches, additional changes are not needed but the players need to play with the desire to win. Jimmie,
