Interesting blurb in a 2006 article by Bill Simmons

Remember the Saints game where Ware was at fault for like 3 tds passes to the fullback?

You'd think after the first or second time he'd learn something. Parcells said it was an individual who made mistakes that lead to the TDs after the game. So who's fault was it that Ware kept getting tricked and making mistakes?

My theory is that our players are great athletes, have a lot of passion to play the game, but are not very smart. And having a coach like WP who is completely hands off makes things even worse.

So why do we keep drafting dumb players?

OR

Jake and the Fatman?

Any old-schoolers remember that show?

BP has forgotten more about football then most people have learned. Do you think this entire team did any more preparation for the Eagles game then any other game this year? I am doubting it....preparation, focus and discipline are what is needed on this team. How you do not know where to lineup in game 16 of the season is beyond me. I can see Tashard Choice maybe not knowing, but at the game I saw Crayton and Austin utterly confused a few times. How does RW11 not turn his head on that interception. How does he not know he is the hot read??? Those are the small things that take you from 9-7 to 12-4 and a playoff team and in the tournament. One thing I will always remember JJ sayin is that in order to be successful in this league, you must win 2 of the 3 phases of the game. We rarely win one anymore. In JJ's time this was the bar, 2 of 3 phases....most times he got 3 of 3...it is that simple...

Going by the "split screen" test, who would you choose -- Rod Marinelli or Andy Reid?

For that matter, how does this guy do on the eyeball test?

Thats the look of BP telling Jerry Jones, I told you so....

More like Parcells throwing up in his mouth again.
