When was the last time Parcells did something that could be described as "brilliant"?

We've seen article/thread after thread declaring Payton's various calls as great, brilliant, genius.....


I do tire of seeing the same old same old on and off the field. His only bold move this season seemed to be when he cut a great kicker having a mediocre season only to replace him with a mediocre kicker having a mediocre season. That's really thinking outside of the box.

Defensively, watching this team reminds me of watching a preseason game. As vanilla of a scheme as humanly possible. I saw Singleton blitz up the middle once last night and darn near fell out of my chair in shock, but that was it, it happened once. Being innovative is a good thing, as is getting your best players in a position to make plays. Can anyone point to a single bold move Parcells has made here recently? And I don't consider relying on a 5th round draft pick, a glorified special teamer and an alcoholic (note, not a recovering alcoholic, just a flat out drunk) to man one of the eleven spots on defense bold, I consider it stupid.

Offensively, he finally benched He who shall not be named, kudos, Bill, great move. Of course I doubt that being a year and half behind the braintrust that is Ralph Wilson and company on the learning curve is really something that should go on the Canton resume.

I'm going to go with benching Bledsoe and putting in Romo.

Yeah Romo and even Gramatica. He did win the Giants game and give us first place. He has made 5 of 7 kicks... his misses were 40+.... still time to be a really good move.

Replacing a kicker who was making 72% of his kicks with one who is making 71% is a brilliant move?

Would Vandy have won that Giants game? No.

When he told the press..."consider yourselves sucked!"

How on God's green earth can you know what would have happened?

Probably week after week of watching him send kicks either to the right or bouncing them off uprights had something to do with it. I lost any confidence in Vandercrack weeks ago; why are people still taking up for him?
