I really do not see that as their critical issue. To me, they have
the following critical issues:
- They are in the worst salary cap shape of any team in NFL history.
- They have a roster that has almost no real talent.
- The players on the roster have the habit of quitting every single
time the going gets tough.
- The team owes more money, used to finance the purchase of the team
and stadium, than any team in NFL history.
- They have had 6 coaches in 5 years; everyone already quietly
thinks that Gibbs will be out in 2 years.
