The Redskins have won three straight and are one win away from the playoffs. Frustrated Skins fans have questioned Joe Gibbs's leadership but it's apparent that the players love and respect him. Fans better hope and pray Gibbs signs an extension because the team and organization need him more than ever.
What's also becoming apparent is the quality of play from Todd Collins. What I have noticed and I think fans and the media alike have taken note of is a much maligned offense that's picking up steam. Collins knows Al Saunders's offense and for the first time all season, balls are going all over the place and he's not making critical mistakes. Collins seems very comfortable with what he's supposed to do and manages the game well.
Gibbs and Saunders look better when the offense plays better. Collins's play confirms my thoughts that yes Gibbs and Saunders can lead the team if the quarterback play is good. Against Minnesota you could see how Saunders's offense is supposed to run if properly executed by the quarterback. Antwaan Randle-El caught his first touchdown pass!!
I predict a Skins victory because it doesn't make sense for Dallas to play their starters because they have home field locked up. Look for the Skins to win their way into the playoffs and scare the hell out of whoever they play. Look for Gibbs and Saunders to come up with some stuff.
