Anyone else happy when Bledsoe threw that pick at the end of the first?

[Juke99]

you can hit him for starting the season with drew or the roster but the rest is simply on the players. i mean if you get manhandled you get manhandled... no coaching can change the fact.

I'll ask the same I did of Rack, who brought the players here?

 

[Juke99]

Yeah, he's taking quite a bit on local radio today. Quite a bit. And not just for last night.

And damn it, he should be.

The friggin guy has teflon coating with some people.

What gets me is he's all about performance..."doesn't matter what you've done in the past, at some point you have to prove you can get the job done"..."You are what your record says you are"

Don't his own rules apply to him as well?

Yet....people just keep making excuses.

I'm asking a simple question, at what point does it become Parcells' responsibility?

 

[DipChit]

Why sure.. BP can take the hit for a thing or 2!! Like Columbo not knowing who Strahan is even though it was mentioned that he was spoken to about him during the week. Can take the hit for Witten not being able to block his momma much less Lavar. For Watkins playing like a rookie of all things. For T-New getting beat deep. For Roy getting "juked" out his jock by Shockey. For Bradie not coming up with a sure Int.

Seriously, some of his best players just *** up last night.

Were the coach(es) outcoached or the players outplayed?

Ok so maybe the coach(es) arent as good as some people might think they are. Well that could very well be said of some of the players as well.

As for this thread, how a Cowboy fan could be at all happy about that play is beyond me. As someone pointed out before - if you were happy then your license as a Dallas Cowboy fan should be permanently revoked.

It was a hideous turn of events in an extremely crucial game.

Juke, couldn't agree more.

There is that thing about not being able to teach an old dog new tricks, but this old mutt must know the game continues to evolve. I don't think anyone would ask acoach to reinvent themselves or their philosophy on how to run a football team, but there is a dynamic involved.

He's been given the green light to shop for the groceries. But can the guy even boil water now?

Can't continue to go on the cheap when it comes to QB and OL. I love linebackers and defensive linemen as much as the next guy, but at some point the ability to block and win battles at the point of attack will be essential.

And while we know he spent money on Rivera, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good investment. Whiffing on Rogers and Peterman. Waiting until late on day two this past draft to address it. On and on...

Rack makes a good point about coaching. Regardless of where offensive linemen are selected, they still must be developed. I would have definitely invested more in the coaching staff (OL) than what we have.

But something tells me that wasn't priority.

 

[Jimz31]

HECK NO! I was pissed. I gave him the evil finger and everything.

 

[chinch]

I'll ask the same I did of Rack, who brought the players here?

some of the notable players causing our prediciment at QB he certainly didn't bring and one could argue were spared for Jerruh
quinicy
hutch
henson
zimmer

now, with 10 games left i'm not ready to run a HOF coach out of town because our OL is getting manhandled by the better defenses in the NFL (two on the road) AND the veteran QB is overruling his coaching and "improvising" with stupidity.

it's certainly on him for not canning Drew after week-1, nevermind after Philly.

is it on Tuna that ROY is overrated, got a big extension and can't cover a sleeeping baby?

obviously the roster falls on Tuna the GM but then again JJ, Ireland and others share the roster responsibility.

the problem is half of you haters argue against TO but if he wasn't hurt and didn't drop a couple of passes and we got a few bounces we'd have a win or two more and you all would be purchasing his popcorn.

 

[Rack]

That's freakin' stupid.


Might as well blame the players' parents too for raising a bunch of softies.


Or better yet, blame BP's parents for raising him to be the type of coach he is.


The players are the ones on the field, not the coach. And it's not like their making a bunch of mental mistakes (other then the OL). It's about heart IMO. And you don't coach heart. Either you have it, or you don't. And these Dallas Cowboys... they got no heart.

 

[Danny White]

Honestly, I have to admit I was. I am a die hard fan. I supported Drew Bledsoe, but I honestly was saying to myself that a change needed to be made. I figured if we win this game, no way Bledsoe doesn't play for the rest of the season. To me this game was a neccesary evil. We needed to take a step back to take a step forward. I still don't know what we have in Romo, but I would rather waste a season trying to find out instead of bordering between Bledsoe having great games against bad teams and stinking it up when you put any pressure on him. We would die quickly if we ever got into the playoffs with him. We couldn't use our weapons. I just wondered if anyone else was thinking the same way during the first half.

I was hoping we'd score and win the game.

Somehow, I feel complimented that you've said my comment was stupid.

Rack..again, who's players are these?

It's about "heart" (how touching).

OK, so who chose the players who have no heart?

You keep ducking and dodging.

I don't care what the short falls are....lack of heart, lack of talent, lack of smarts...this coach chose those players.

The owner has opened up his wallet and spent.

The coach is .500

In fact, without Campo's players, he's under .500?

Huh?

So, what goes right, is credited to Parcells and what goes wrong is Jerry's responsibility?

Sure, that makes sense.

And FYI, I have been criticizing Parcells for over 3 years....not after 6 games..not after Owens...but for 3 years.

So far, he's done more to prove me right than wrong.

"You are what your records says you are"

 

[T-New41]

No. Not happy at all. I wanted Romo to start because I figured he would give us the best chance to win. Bottom line is, as long as we win, I dont care who starts or plays. Romo played, but we still lost. Now, I do have hope that this kkid can come in and play a little better. He did some really good things that were overshadowed by the 3ints. Hopefully he learns from the mistakes he made last night and gets better for next week and the week after and so on.

He is still young, so I dont see a reason to give up hope in Romo (and I will admit, I thought Henson would mop the floor with this guy, but Romo def proved me wrong). In fact, The more I see from Romo (yes, going back to pre-season) the more I believe he can efficiently run our offense. The way he spreads the ball around is great. Witten looked like the all-pro we have been missing at TE. Glen and Crayton were also involved more once Romo went in.

I have hope that we can still turn things around, but last night's loss still stings none the less.

I dont understand what you want to hear. What would make you happy in this... Parcells announcing tomorrow that he quits cause he's a failure?

First of all I'm sure every single fan would tell you they have a beef with something or another he's done or not done. Would it help if every one of us called for his head right now?

Lets not act like he's been here 6 or 7 or 10 years either. It's been 3+. If he walks without making noise in the playoffs so be it. I'm pretty sure theres more talent on this team than when he got here so thats a plus for the future if nothing else.

But this "performance" thing you keep throwing back at him.. you know darn well that formula isnt the standard for coaches the way it is for players.

Hell, Landry is the one who "taught" him that 3 year rule. So maybe Landry wasnt vocal about it. Were you ready to run him out of town between 84-88 when we only had one playoff appearence and got blanked? Should he have said he was stepping aside because he inst living up to the same standard he holds his players to and wasnt getting it done?

Or is the real issue here you simply dont like Bills arrogance.. but hold the phone.. didnt he just say last night that they were outcoached.. I dont believe I've heard him say that before, so we might be making progress here.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

No, but Ill be honest. I was almost expecting it.
I was like, lets run this 4 straight times, if we do throw, make it a fade to T.O.
Anything else will be a disaster...and it was

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Honestly, I have to admit I was. I am a die hard fan. I supported Drew Bledsoe, but I honestly was saying to myself that a change needed to be made.

As much as I felt that Drew was not the guy to lead us to where we want to go.

Being on the verge of going 14-12... there was no way I wanted that... but I see what you mean... to get Romo in there...

 

[silver]

dmq, kudos for being honest but i guess you're all alone there bro. i was pissed and so was everybody else watching the game with me.

 

[jackrussell]

Honestly, I have to admit I was.

Oh yes, me too!

I was also happy when Julius whiffed on the goal line for a safety. That way I can hope Barber is closer to playing more.

I was happy to see the OL let Strahan go unimpeded for a sack. That way I can long for Petiti.

I was happy to see the defense allow Tiki to get the first down on 3rd and 16. That way I can blast Zimmer.

I was happy to see TO drop the critical 4th down pass. That way I can boast what a bum he is.

The whole darn game just tickled the crap out of me.

post of the day. pretty much sums this board up.

 

[Clove]

I was ticked off that he threw the INT, but was happy that something finally happened to get his butt put on the bench. I don't feel sorry for any guy that has all the chances in the world to get er done, given the best receivers in the game, an okay line (decent enough to get the ball out quick) a solid running game, and still can't get it done.

I could care less at this point if Romo can get it done, I'm looking forward to the Future and this is why. No way in hell Bledsoe leads us any freaking where. He has been measured and exposed to the entire league of how to destroy him. He is afraid of the rush and his mind is playing tricks on him. Parcells clearly designed that INT throw to go to TO on the other side, but he thought he would be the hero and not trust the most dangerous receiver in the world and it cost us serious momentum.

I'll be happy when Parcells puts the final nail in the Bledsoe coffin.

I usually read the whole post before responding, but that's just a sick question and you are a sick individual.
