:bang2: Yep, all remnants of Parcells are truly gone. I am pretty sure (can someone check?) that every team that was the subject of Hard Knocks missed the playoffs in their year. Personally, it does nothing to help the team and probably means Tony Romo will find someway to have his girl in an episode. This is a distration they do not need.
Maybe the reason the teams that struggled in Hard Knocks were just really bad football teams?

Could it be that simple?


BTW the 2001 Ravens made it to the divisional playoffs that year. Not that it has any relevance.

So he can be racist? Flame members and spam the board and not be banned because "he's a mod"?

I find that VERY hard to believe:p:

When I first heard the Boys would be on Hard Knocks...I was ecstatic. Although not an HBO subsciber, I will happily pay whatever it takes for the entertainment that I remember the last Cowboy Knocks bringing.

I remember not being able to wait for Thurs (I think?) night to roll around. In the football starved days of summer, an inside look into the happenings at camp really hit the spot.

After reading some of your comments, I was quick to realize that this, in fact, was a tremendous obstacle in route to a this year's Super Bowl. Having cameras at camp can cause far too many problems to count. On the other hand, I can't imagine any plausible way that the end result of Hard Knocks will be a net positive in regards to the goal of winning this year's Super Bowl.

Ultimately, Jerry made a business decision....and a good one. The dividends that this exposure will likely pay are immeasurable. I applaud him for being a man with a grasp of the big picture and wish the team all the best in a more difficult path to another championship.

how could a TV show filming our team change things for the WORST considering this team is 3 for 3 in regard to one-and-done in the playoff with a few non-playoff appearances sandwiched in between?

if anything it seems the 'boys are at a good balance between post-Jimmah Jerruh (sloppy everything) and Tuna (stifling eggshells & too many FOBs) with some decent drafting as well.

Truthfully, if HBO or any network really wanted to make a show about life in an NFL (a.k.a. National Football League) training camp per season, it would have been a couple of decades before Dallas would have been the team of choice again. Cowboys training camp has been done. Now, it's being done again, in spite of the exclusion of many other NFL's training camps being showcased in the same fashion. The producers of the show should drop all false pretenses and rename the show Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Dallas Cowboys '08. Next season, it could be, HK: TCWTDC '09, etc., etc. Excellent. :rolleyes: :)

I said I appreciate what he did when he was here. I should had been more clear and mentioned the draft. He underachieved though when it came to coaching. JJ has had to solid offseasons without him. I dont see the Hard Knocks show changing anything. I just thinks it's odd that JJ gets no credit for the drafts while BP was here and no credit for anything positive. Yet he to blame when stuff dont go right when BP isnt here.


His style may not have fit any longer, I don't know. I know that he accomplished what Jerry and Phillips accomplished with a great deal less talent, which was an early exit from the playoffs. I don't think anybody can say that he was any worse then what we have shown to this point. We may ultimatly achieve better in the coming season/seasons but not to this point. In my mind, neither Jerry or Phillips have done anything to be credited for, as yet.

I find it very hard to believe that anybody would associate me with racisam at all.

I imagine your going to say something like, no I didn't mean it that way. However, I'm going to tell you that I don't care how you ment it. I don't appriciate being associated, in any way, with this comment.
