Bill Parcels said there is a fine line between 8-8 and 12-4.
This year it's three one point games and one three point game.

truthfully, i think this team is lucky to be 7-7. defense is worst in the league and the offense is nothing special.

edit: their scoring margin is almost even so i guess 7-7 is about where they should be.

This team is garbage and we've all been sucked in for years now. It's very depressing.

I know one thing. There's a distinct line between 9-5 right now and 7-7 and that line is the inability to manage end of game situations. DET and GB both horribly managed at the end. DET should have never been allowed to have that last possession after the defensive got a stop and Dallas shouldn't have been passing from 2 & 6 with less than 3 minutes to play and the lead.

Parcells is right. Coaching and personnel decisions separate the haves/have nots. Wonder why the Cows are always floating around 8-8?

Did he say anything about moral victories?

Did Bill mention anything about Romo being bus driver?

6. Be the same guy every day – in condition. Preparing to lead. Studying your plan. A coach can’t prepare you for every eventuality. Prepare yourself and remember, impulse decisions usually equal mistakes.
7. Throwing the ball away is a good play – sacks, interceptions and fumbles are bad plays. Protect against those.
8. Learn to manage the game – personnel, play call, motions, ball handling, proper reads, accurate throws, play fakes. Clock. Clock. Clock. Don’t you ever lose track of the clock.
9. Get your team in the end zone – passing stats and TD passes are not how you’re going to be judged. Your job is to get your team in the end zone and that is how you will be judged.
10. Don’t panic – when all around you is in chaos, you must be the hand that steers the ship. If you have a panic button so will everyone else. Our ship can’t have a panic button.

sounds like solid advice. Was this from when he was Dallas HC or recent?

He gave a list of 11 QB commandments to Romo when he took over.

1. Ignore other opinions – Press or TV, agents or advisors, family or wives, friends or relatives, fans or hangers on – ignore them on matters of football, they don’t know what’s happening here.
2. Clowns can’t run a huddle – don’t forget to have fun but don’t be the class clown. Clowns and leaders don’t mix. Clowns can’t run a huddle.
3. Fat QBs can’t avoid the rush – A quarterback throws with his legs more than his arm. Squat and run.
4. Know your job cold – this is not a game without errors. Keep yours to a minimum. Study.
5. Know your own players – Who’s fast? Who can catch? Who needs encouragement? Be precise. Know your opponent.
6. Be the same guy every day – in condition. Preparing to lead. Studying your plan. A coach can’t prepare you for every eventuality. Prepare yourself and remember, impulse decisions usually equal mistakes.
7. Throwing the ball away is a good play – sacks, interceptions and fumbles are bad plays. Protect against those.

11. Don’t be a celebrity QB – we don’t need any of those. We need battlefield commanders that are willing to fight it out, every day, every week and every season and lead their team to win after win after win.
