Perhaps it began when Washington Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs, a fundamentalist Christian, called for the destruction of "The Last Temptation of Christ." In return, God wreaked vengeance upon the Redskins.
So Washington fans faced the season with glad hearts. Gibbs and General Manager Bobby Beathard seemed to end the quarterback schizophrenia by trading Schroeder. Owner Jack Kent Cooke shelled out $6 million to get Wilber Marshall from the Bears. We returned all the great players: Art Monk, Daryl Green, Kelvin...
We are not going to the playoffs this year. Bryant hurts himself whenever he walks. Dexter Manley got suspended for drugs. And the Quarterback Shuffle has reappeared--Gibbs switches Williams with the newest new guy, Mark Rypien.
Joe Gibbs ran the fairest team in the NFL. There were no superstars, no glitzy air attack or fancy 10-man blitzes. Gibbs just coached.
But I blame Joe Gibbs most of all. He broke his tradition of loyalty. He refused to stick by his quarterback, letting Williams and Rypien dance like marionnettes for him. He has let controversy simmer and made the team 45 separate players. Our direction has vanished.
