Funny how Wade is getting pillared for his (uber)positive post game PC comments...

Here's what Andy Reid(the same guy whom 99% of CZ members think is a GREAT coach) had to say in his...

And finally, as Reid said after the game, the Eagles just looked tougher last night. "We're a tough-minded football team, and that's important,'' Reid said. "I'm proud of the guys, man.''

Like I said-if Wade had said what Reid said after a LOSS, CZ would go in utter meltdown.

People can say what they want about Wade, call him a lame duck or a bus driver if you want, but these palyers respond well to Wade and his style of coaching and they play their hearts out for the guy. I think thats important too.

Parcells was as hard nosed coach as they come and the palyers just didn't respond well to him. Wade is doing a fine job so far and I'm glad he's the coach for now.

I agree. I'm to the point I don't care what some fans think of Wade, I only concern myself on how the players respond to him. I know our players have Wade's back and have the same high expectation of this team as Wade does. I hear guys like TO talking highly of Phillips which says a lot because I don't recall TO singing the praises of our last coach so it is not as if TO does not speak his mind. Phillips treats these guys like men and expects them to do the job.

My problem with Wade's PCs is not that he's positive.....I think that's OK. He just never seems to acknowledge any problem area....such as face mask penalties. Did he acknowledge any problems while we were getting our head handed to us last December? I'm not sure he did.....it bothered me then....and it bothers me now.

Who is he talking too? What he and his staff tell the players is more important to me than what he is telling the media. Do you really think he does not know the things you mentioned are not problems that need correcting?

Well the flip side of this is somebody like Parcells to continue to dwell on this game and making everbody miserable and not really improving anything. Perhaps Wade doesn't want to call out players in public?

It doesn't do him or the team any good to acknowledge any problems like face mask and such to the media, especially after a hard fought win like last nights game. It was a physical game and both teams defenses' were spent and thats when the penalties start to mount.

What can Wade do about the players grabbing face masks? I'm sure Wade has plenty concerns but thats why he has a entire coaching staff to fall back on.

Agreed. Wade is trying to adjust it. Look at his face and body language when we do that stuff. He doesn't look mad or disgruntled. He looks disappointed and upset.

He's a good coach. I hope we can win a SB for him this year. See he's got me rooting for him and not me.

and how do we know it isn't acknowledged behind closed doors?

In fact, if Hard Knocks is any indication, we know it's being addressed somewhere down the line.

Exactly. I thought Hard Knocks showed to anyone who doubted it that the coach who talks to the media isn't the same guy as the coach on the practice field.

So he outright lies to us then?

OK, I feel better now.

Rather than have it acknowledged, how about having it corrected?

Wade is a fan of saying 'penalties are my fault, they're on me'.

OK Wade, they're on you.

And it doesn't look like you are doing much about it.

Either in front of cameras or not.

I'll bet you a dime to a doughnut that he isn't all that positive in film sessions which is instructional time.

He has no reason or duty to be truthful to us about anything. His responsibilites are to the team and Jerry Jones.

Then I guess I have no duty or reason to like or accept being outright lied to. Doesn't exactly make me wanna root for someone.

Fix the penalties issue for Jerry Jones then.

Then don't. Phillips is talking to the media not the players what he says to the media is meaningless. As HC this team has played better than they have in years. Yes there is a lot of room for improvement but Wade is not going to trash his players to a hungry media.

Your choice, take it or leave it.

Ultimately wins and losses will determine the success of Wade's tenure here.Not whether or not he told the media the truth.
