Parcells Is The "SHE"! Gutless Play-Calling In The Red Zone Is The Problem...

[CaptainAmerica]

...Parcells simply lacks the "cojones" necessary to win.That is why Parcells is the "SHE", not Terry Glenn.

In the Washington game, the Giants game and now Seattle we have had golden opportunities deep inside the red-zone with just a few minutes to go in the game where we could have attacked the end-zone and gone for the kill shot. In NONE of those games have we attempted ONE SINGLE pass or play that was designed to be thrown into the end-zone.


In the Skins game, Parcells played it close to the vest to go up 13-0. Against the Giants, Parcells ADMITTED this week he played for the FG to go up by 7 and now today, our defense hands the offense the golden turnover and the ball at the 11 yard line with 2:50 to play and we did not even THROW a pass, much less attempt to throw it in the end-zone where we could have scored the TD and put the game away.

When you play that conservative you will inevitably win some and lose some.
Might as well accept it. No matter how good this young defense looks it isn't seasoned enough to rely on it to win with the game on the line. it has failed in every instance this year. With Parcells' philosophy of playing the game, we are an 8-8 team.

Get used to it.

Lol!!!!!!

I agree with some of this. We have 3 losses. Two are on the coach(es). Why aren't we putting teams AWAY? Hopefully the coaches learn from this loss.....cause they sure as hell didn't learn from the Washington loss.

Sickening.

Reminds me a tad of that Tom Cruise movie - All the right moves?

If you have seen it you know the storyline.

 

[rexrobinson]

I would say the players on the field actually executing the play called is the "real" problem..

I swear, some of you guys think playcalls have some benevolent, magical powers.

Someone else with the guts to say it. I know alot of people on this board believe in Parcells and I really want, but he simply has shown that he is a conservative play caller and it has cost us 3 games this year. Looking back on every game this team has lost it is hard to see why we shouldn't be right there with the Colts at 7-0. Look at the Eagles game, the only game this season where the team has opened up the playbook and went for the jugular right from the beginning of the game. The results were a 33-10 thrashing of what was supposed to be the best team in the NFC.

Before that game the play calling was very conservative and there was no reason for the Eagles to think things would be any different. They weren't ready for a wide open Dallas team and we ambushed them and cruised to an easy victory. Now the team has gone back into hibernation mode and the results speak for themselves. A very lucky OT victory over the Giants and today's loss to a team that we easily outplayed. Twice the Cowboys had the ball inside Seattle's 10 yard line and came away with a total of 3 points. I know Cortez is to blame for the missed FG, but why does it appear the team is simply playing for FGs? We should be going for the jugular and putting teams away.

Parcells has a what have you done for me lately philosophy with his players. What has Parcells done lately? I give no credit for superbowls he won 15 years ago.

All I know is, on the possession where we ran it three straight times in the redzone, we could have had a TD if we just playactioned on 1st down.

It is that simple.

And you know for sure that pass would have been completed?

Your right. What conservative play calling? We should make those 3rd and longs when we run. Shame on us.

 

[rexrobinson]

maby IF, just IF the line actually created a hole to run through on those plays it would of worked....

that is why execution > playcalling.

Sure we could of run the Play Action, but that would most likely have been snuffed out or covered given the track record our offense had today.

We only have two options on every play, run it or pass it in some fashion. If we cant block, both of those options are no good.

The play calling could have been less prdictable, but in the rain, on the road, with Flo gone, with JJ out, with Rob geting less help and vs a darn good lineman, with TT in his first start in a while, andat LT at that, and with Patrick's blocking and clutch receptions missing, I don't think the playcalling was anything remarkably conservative. The mission was ball control vs the most prolific O in the conference, and with the running back by committee wasn't exactly a failure.

The offensive execution, lack of protection, timing, forcing the ball to one guy, not seeing open receivers underneath, and throwing picks was the main culprit today.

and who is he going to throw it to? the covered receivers? the way the line blocked he would of got sacked anyhow.. you guys amaze me with the playcalling stuff. The playcalling GOT conservative when it was apparent we couldnt execute a gatorade dump!

The Bill Parcells offense, in a snapshot:

 

[EveryoneElse]

And you know for sure that pass would have been completed?

Would it have hurt to try? We have a defense that is busting their buts all game long, creating turnovers and we don't go out on a limb to reward their efforts? Take one shot? Guess what seattle did to tie the game....they threw it inside the 5 for a TD.....hmmm. Disgusting.

We ran for 164 yards today and a 4.2 average.

The passing game was inconsistent at best all day and catastrophic at worse - see the last throw Bledsoe made for details.

I have never in my life seen so many people p*ssed off at a coach because he didn't abandon the only thing that was working to do more of the thing that clearly wasn't.

Give me a break. We have a probowl TE. See if you can't get him open like last week inside the 5. Give this team a chance. Seattle couldn't do jack all game and they threw it inside the 5. They are winners today and we're losers.

Play calling is perfectly fine, rex?

What?

maybe IF, just IF a play action pass had been called, the line would have blocked, and Wit, Glenn, or Meshawn would have been open.

Your statements work both ways. To say that play calling has little or nothing to do with it is ludicrous! If the oline had opened holes... ROFL. We had 2 chances in the redzone gift wrapped and handed to us on a platter, and we played for the tie. Plain and simple. The best way to exploit these gifts is to take a shot or two at the endzone, not runrunrun with our late round draft picks. If you can't see that the conservative playcalling contributed to our loss, then I'm flabbergasted.

 

[rexrobinson]

You think for one second that if we were able to pass on them at will, we wouldnt of?

We get conservative because we cant execute. There comes a time in the game when Parcells reazlizes that his offense isnt going to execute the plays called.

Bledsoe threw horrible all day...

the receivers were not getting open, and dropping passes...

the O line was flimsy at best...

so with that happening, we try and get cute?

how did that flea flicker work for us?

Guys bottom line, our offensive players played like garbage today...no playcalling would of made that any differnet.

Actually no, because we ran on them all day long, and couldnt pass at all. Bledsoe wasnt accurate and the recivers were dropping balls when they managed to get open.. Thats why he didnt trust them to get cute in the endzone.

Parcells wouldnt have to go conservative if the guys pulled their head out of the *** and play ball.

and you made my point.. if the players actually played well we would of done well...dont you get it.. the play called has very little to do with if the guys execute it.
