Did Joe Gibbs Purposely Lose?

Here's my theory. I've been studying Gibbs since 1980 and have been studying the Commanders since 1971.

Joe Gibbs is a Spades player. Is everyone familiar with that game? He's holding a set of cards. He knows he cannot take all the tricks.

He will never play an Ace if he knows a Seven will win.

If he knows there is no chance of winning, he will throw out his worst card.

Joe Gibbs is not going to expose his strengths and weaknesses if he does not have to.

If the Commanders came at the Patriots with their best stuff, two things would have happened: 1) The Patriots would have still won the game and 2) Joe Gibbs would have shown everyone his best cards.

There are 16 games this season and this was a Inter-Conference game. The Commanders can beat the Jets and the Eagles. The Commanders will be headed to Dallas at 6-3.

Keep in mind, before the game I was hearing Redksk*n fans claim that Gibbs had been "holding back" thus far this season so he could "unleash the full power" of his team on the Patriots. :laugh2:

I think what we have here is a textbook case of denial.
