Bill Parcells on Preseason games

[gtb1943]

Mmm...no.

1) He would drag in numerous has beens from the 90's Jets

2)Take a Top 5 Defense and change it to a 3-4 scheme that could never account for any team that threw 5 yard swing passes to the FB

And:

3) Quit

The stupidity seen here on the zone is sometimes truly awesome.

 

[blueblood70]

He sucked. Most overrated tenure of any HC in Cowboys history. The cherry on top was He quit when the stars aligned for the team to take the next step.

He was a failure here. A complete failure.

Actually

that opinion that statement and your obvious clueless fan recollection is why we don't listen to people like you and we listen to a Hall of Fame coaches...

it wasn't overrated,

he didn't finish what he started but he definitely turned a terrible team back into at least something you could watch without cringing..​

​

So yes, I'll trust the Hall of Fame coaches both Mike McCarthy and bill Parcells on how they approach preseason and it's even different now players are making tons more money the salary cap it's much more hard to manage with the quarterback money out of control... so yeah you need to protect your stars and not be playing them in preseason... And the overreactions to the results of preseason is also ridiculous it's just ridiculous it's your statement.​

Now how about that let's go, I'm ready it's Monday got to go ahead and put the fires out from the fans who don't know anything apparently who call someone like bill Parcells overrated..

I'm unhappy he didn't stay, I'm still angry at him for quitting and also having Sean Payton leave all the while knowing if he would have promised him the head coaching job and let him know he was gonna quit we could have had Sean Payton,

he did not finish what he started but he definitely put this team back in contention.

maybe you forgot all those terrible seasons,

if he can go to the playoffs with a guy like Quincy Carter, you're calling the man overrated... Nope I'd say you as a fan are way way overrating yourself and your opinions are trash..

Most if not all teams do not game plan either. They run plays regardless of the opposition's scheme. This is both on offense and defense. In addition players could be working on new technique and use live reps to further practice what ever they are working on. Preseason is all about getting ready for the regular season.

 

[gtb1943]

It is arguable that the best coaching BP ever did was getting the 2003 team to the playoffs.

Q, Hambone and a bunch of others who were gone from the NFL in a year or two.

Those that boast about the 2003 D need to remember it crapped the bed in the playoffs. And the very next year it was mediocre at best

 

[CCBoy]

With a down team he changed the defense to a 3-4 successfully and was in the playoffs 2 of 4 years. Jerry's DeMarcus Ware made the Hall this year...

 

[T-RO]

Love, love, loved me some Parcells.

But the league has almost completely punted on doing anything at all w/ preseason games. It's now an era of analytics, player safety, player voice, and 17 game seasons.

What he said might have been meaningful for a previous era. Not now.

 

[MyFairLady]

At least we don't have to do his buddies any more favors like drafting Bobby Carpenter in the first round.

 

[Momanpr100]

No one goes 8-8 quite like fat Bill. Years of nothing but catch phrases and we still talk about him like he is a Cowboy legend.

We never went 8-8 with Parcells. You thinking of Garrett and Romo

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I remember Parcells being asked about what he was trying to accomplish in preseason and his reply was, "To get the right guys on the team."

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

This, then look at the coaches records before the Tuna, then we get to the PO with whom at QB, Quincy Carter.

 

[rambo2]

I remember Parcells being asked about what he was trying to accomplish in preseason and his reply was, "To get the right guys on the team."

I remember when he played Drew Bledsoe who is still holding the ball at the bottom of the pile.

 

[blueblood70]

The Bills went to four straight SBs in the early 90s. They were 1-15 in preseason during that time.

The Ravens have won 24 straight preseason games. They have 1 playoff win during that time.

Let me know if you have any questions.

 

[blueblood70]

I'm not crazy about resting the offensive starters, especially when I see Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Tyreek Hill playing (among others).

Dallas did the preseason bubble wrap last year - do y'all remember week one? Three points, and Dak got injured anyway.

You get ready to play football by playing football. Even TB12, the goat, played in preseason. But Dak doesn't need it?

Actually, your statement is flip-flopped because Prescott got hurt inadvertently on a follow through on a pass, wasn't some knee injury from the turf or from a hit ....literally had his offensive line pushed into him as he was following through and hit his hand on a helmet.. yeah you really want that in in the preseason to break his hand and the actual game it doesn't count I'm sorry but if you think that playing great in the preseason for 20 snaps somehow is elevating these players in the playoffs 17-18 weeks later , are you kidding me.. And by the way it's never how you start it's how you finish lots of teams started slow last year heck the Bengals look like trash we beat them with Cooper rush had nothing to do with preseason they found their rhythm got their guys straight and went on a run just like we started three and five and 2018 and ended up 10-6.. I prefer to protect our players for the long haul not for game one dude seriously if that's what you think is elevating those 16 teams to win and the other 16 to lose I'm thinking that your argument has no validity whatsoever...

why don't you bring up 2021 game one???

they didn't have any preseason games either... literally came out and dropped what 500 yards on the eventual Tampa Bay defense that went to the Super bowl didn't that happen game one, did they need practice to be sharp>>? nope​

​

The big difference between game one and 2021 and game one and 2022 with the talent changed they literally lost Amari Cooper, Cedric Wilson, Blake jarwin, Williams ,&Collins.​

​

Ad in there was a thing that we noticed is they used the same game plan even though Kellen Moore saw Ezekiel Elliott with 5.2 yards per carry in the first half and only gives him two carries in the second-half and put the ball in the air all game with that wide receiver core in game one,​

​

that's 100% on Kellen Moore and that's why that game same with with the San Francisco game is why he was let go,​

​

we didn't lose that game because of preseason we lost that game because of Kellen Moore and his pass happy *** didn't know how to have a run game working and stick with it in the second-half..​

​

So let's provide context for the two different games game one from year to year we lost both games but don't say they didn't look sharp in 2021 game one with no preseason it's not necessary. You're trying to nitpick or what we call cherry pick a game without context..​

I'd simply argue your opinion is trash. 10-6, 6-10, 9-7, 9-7 WC defeat. What a run huh? 34-30, zero playoff victories. #legendary

 

[mmohican29]

Got us to the playoffs with a roster not even half as good as this one. I’m saying if he came in now with this current roster

Possibly. I'd argue he would quit to save face from potentially falling short.

 

[CowboysFilmStudy]

I remember an interview I watched with Bill Parcells after he left the Jets and before he took over the Cowboys. I think he was doing the ESPN pregame show.

When the discussion got around to Pre-Season games Bill said that Fans and Sports Media have no idea what they are watching.

Each Team has different goals and ideas about how to handle individual personnel or their teams as a whole.

He said although, he always wanted his team to score more than the opponent, he would often put players and the team at big disadvantage on purpose to find out
if they could overcome. He also wanted to find out who would keep giving effort even when they knew they weren't getting a fair shake. Preseason is the perfect time to see how your players handle adversity.

He also said, when evaluating young players, Tom Landry told him his first year as the Giants Head Coach that you have to give players 3 years before giving up on their potential.

Coach Landry was absolutely right about that. We have fans giving up on Mazi after 2 preseason games.

 

[HungryLion]

An extra point is 33 yards. He kicked 2 of them. Don't tell me that you didn't know that.

I would still like to see him kick from 45+ in love action. Hopefully we get a chance to see it next preseason game.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

No one goes 8-8 quite like fat Bill. Years of nothing but catch phrases and we still talk about him like he is a Cowboy legend.

You write like someone who had not been around during the Gailey and Campo years. Back when it was the no playoffs in X years period.

 

[mmohican29]

We never went 8-8 with Parcells. You thinking of Garrett and Romo

No, but never was better than 10-6 with his 1st Cowboys team. Oh yeah- he was 6-10 the next season.

Parcells tenure here was hot garbage. 34-30. Two playoff appearances, zero post-season W's. Then quit.

... Oh yes- those were the days indeed.

 

[blueblood70]

I'd simply argue your opinion is trash. 10-6, 6-10, 9-7, 9-7 WC defeat. What a run huh? 34-30, zero playoff victories. #legendary

how about I tell you right now you have no concept of what the team looked like when Parcells took over and what he had to rebuild and put talent back on the field again he didn't finish what he started but he brought this franchise back on the right path and if he just stayed here he would have done a lot better.. So again I'm telling you you're 150% wrong and your opinion it's not just trash it's absolutely not even close to the truth we all know the facts we were here during all those bad years and all that terrible drafts and the terrible talent we had here he literally put us back on the right track with enough talent to move forward he left us with Tony Romo and enough players in a direction IE a new blueprint that we can actually move forward from then..

Look I don't even like bill Parcells.. I think he quit and he's from New York and he was a giants guy so I don't like him but what he did here is underrated not overrated I don't think people understand and you obviously are so far delusional that you have no memory of how bad this team really was with no talent the drafts were bad the free agents were being overpaid and over compensated with draft picks they literally had this in the dumpster and he got us out of the dumpster may not have been great from your view but those of us who remember know what he did...
