Say what you want about Parcells...but at least..

[Ken]

he is taking blame for the loss yesterday.

He also admitted he was "embarrassed" and the loss was a reflection of him.

Also truthfully answered that he doesn't know how his team will respond next week.


In an age of cliche's and "we"s, it is refreshing to hear him say what he said today.

For example, a couple of weeks ago after the eagles got smoked on monday night football, Andy Reid didn't come close to saying any of those things. He didn't even sound like it bothered him. Most Philly fans just wanted to hear the hurt in his voice.

You hear that in Parcells' voice.

Parcells is taking the blame b/c it's obvious this loss is on him. After a team puts on a show like that, there's nowhere to hide

I think it's a chemistry issue. Parcells is arguably the greatest head football coach of all time. But given his situation and ours, I don't think he was necessarily the right fit for us. We had a lot of rebuilding to do and he needed to win right away given his age and reason for leaving retirement.

I don't think it was in our best interest to start players like Drew Bledsoe, Vinny Testaverde, Terry Glenn and Keyshawn Johnson. All of these players are quality players but you are not going to win a Superbowl with them as your starters in 2005 or 2006. They are all past their prime which is evident when we face better competition. I'm not blaming these players. They are playing to their best of their ability but they are really being put in a tough situation.

Did you even read the post?


I cited an example of Andy Reids team losing even worse and him acting like nothing happened.


The whole point was, at least he admitted it.

This season would be significantly different if Flozell hadn't gone down for the season. Its difficult to drop back, set and throw the ball when your starting left tackle barely made the roster and shouldn't be on the field. Also, the right tackle (whom may very well develop into a solid player) is a 6th rd. pick and originally not expected to be the starter. Add to that the 9 million dollar guard from GB who is good for at least one bad play or penalty on every single drive and it makes it tough for ANY QB to get the job done.

It seemed they were hungover from an emotional win at KC. KC also looked flat verse the Giants.

This was lingering on for severly weeks and it blew up in his face Sunday.
All of this conservativism has blown up in his face - Washington did the right thing. When they had us off balance on the ledge, they pushed us off. BP rarely takes the fight to the dog.
