GRHater69 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I think this has a lot to do with how the Redskins handled the games in '87 with replacement players. Polian commented on this recently with NFL Network on how the 'Skins were essentially running another set of practices with guys to have them ready to go for when the players association shut down the season. Polian feels that NFL teams should be doing separate practices with their reserves and keep them isolated from the rest of the team in case there is an outbreak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hey, wait a minute....how come I never see any asterisks next to Gibbs' name? I though seasons like those and this one didn't really count. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) This is what good organizations and leaders do. They seek many solid opinions and inputs from other qualified leaders to help them formulate the best plan. Arrogant leaders think they know it all and don’t do this. They ultimately get caught making poor decisions because they surround themselves with yes people who just nod and confirm they know everything. Meanwhile their competition continues to learn and evolve and eventually surpasses them. Its the old “two heads are better than one” saying.

NobesBLO13 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 So many organizations (not necessarily sports) are reactive. To see one that is proactive is impressive. And the fact that it’s the Bills lights a fire under my butt that this team is going somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we often saw him animated, pissed and passionate on the sidelines, but in this clip you can definitely see the sheer rage in his eyes. Like 100% anger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if we would have won, but it would have been a very close game had either they officiated properly, or we do the same crap to them just lighting up their WR’s every time. That game was embarrassing, but it wouldn’t have been either way had it been done right. At least we could have gone into the back to back Dallas games with the confidence maybe winning one of the two. There is always a chance especially the second Dallas one we could have won. I hate to bring up the past, but we were winning in that one at the half. To his credit, Marv wouldn’t get in the mud with the other team. Gibbs though was a solid SB winning coach winning three with three different QB’s. That just didn’t happen back then before free agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the textbook definition of a coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Capco, I’ve got one for you and I really don’t know the answer so not a trick question. His first stint as HC for the blank team, was until 1992. He then retired and eventually went into the NASCAR thing which he won Hall of Fame for them which I read is the only person I could find in the HOF for two sports. So here’s the question and I’m sure one of our esteemed colleagues will know. It’s reported he was inducted into the NFL HOF in 1996. That’s only four years after his first retirement. I don’t know if rules were different then as I tried to find an answer. Why not five years in 1997? He’s definitely a HOF Coach. It wasn’t his fault on the crap calls on our SB. If I’m A coach and I was for years, I’m not complaining when things go my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 It shows a level of humility that is present within our leadership. I think that’s a huge positive because when you are humble you can ask yourself serious questions and then you are able to get the right answers and grow from it. It’s the complete opposite of the Adam Gase, Rex Ryan and Gregg Williams type of people of the world who think they know everything.. Could never stand those types, they’re annoying and usually they’re the ones that know the least.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would do is look for news articles written about his induction. If there was some type of conflict with the necessary number of years before possible induction, any reporter worth their salt would have talked about it. Even if it was right on the cusp (for example, if the rule in 1996 was 4 years), that probably would have been mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
