Broken Promises

In Sunday night’s game against the Carolina Panthers, the Washington Redskins lost 24-14 thanks to bad coaching. Last week coach Gibb’s had promised that he was going to play more “Redskins football.” So what happened? Where was this “Redskin football?” Apparently Gibbs had no intention of upholding his promise. Instead of rushing for 155 yards, Ladell Betts should have been given enough carries to rush for 300 yards. And if he grew tired, they should have given the ball to T.J. Duckett 20 times. A two-touchdown lead and a kid quarterback making his third start demanded it. But the Redskins went ahead with their absolutely nonsensical approach and lost.
