Where are all the BP haters????

Speak up? How about that win! Sorry, but that was one heck of a game plan. How about being aggressive on 3-goal from the 1 yard to TG for the TD! BP had to be creative with the o-line we have. I know all the haters are still happy with the win and I will take it!

even though it's xmas, they'll be in hiding until we lose another tough road game i'm sure.

Well, I'm not a hater but I'm not a lover either. I think he did a good job of getting the team ready to play today against a very good team in a somewhat hostile environment (lots of Cowboys fans here in NC). I'm glad that he didn't just play for a fg there at the end after Cundiff messed the bed again. I didn't think they would win and in fact, I felt they would get blown away, so I'll gladly admit I was wrong-still, things don't look good in my book for getting in the playoffs.

I'm a hater, always will be, but any fan loves a win....if you think these occasional wins like KC and Carolina excuse his team's performance against the Giants and Commanders every other week, you're crazy. I don't want to sap any joy out of this...I'm hanging on for the playoffs till the bitter end, but why didn't he prepare his team last week when it was even more important?

9-6. It's a young team.

Eating crow. They will even be eating more crow next season when BP is holding up trophy #6 next year for this team.

This win doesn't change the fact that he had several brain fartz this season.
One thing is for sure though, players haven't quit on him. That's a good to see.

Good post....

We're very young....

Take a look at what's happened to us this year.

-The OG that's supposed to solidify our OL, goes down with a back injury the day after signing. (Rivera)

-The heir to the RT position, who is having a solid camp, mysteriously gets injured, then gets surgery without the consent of the staff. We cut him. (Rogers)

-Our second first-round pick misses most of TC with a sprained knee. (Spears)

-Our most seasoned LB basically misses the whole season. (Nguyen)

-Our best RB goes down with a high-ankle sprain during our best performance of the season. We were clicking on all cylinders this game. (JJ)

-Our Pro-Bowl LT goes down and misses most of the season. (Adams)

-Our number three WR, who happens to be having a very good season, misses six weeks. (Crayton)

-Our second-best LB is out for the rest of the season. (Singleton)

-Perhaps our best defensive player goes down after making an INT. Henry's never been the same.

We've played the season with three rookies, two first-year starters, and a LB that joined the team after preseason ended all playing major roles on our defense.

We're starting a rookie 6th round pick at RT, and an UDFA at LT that probably won't make the team next year.

Now, injuries are a part of the game. You deal with it and move on. But we've lost major contributors at crucial positions. LT, RB, and CB are three of the most important positions in football. Not many teams lose that many difference makers and compete for a playoff spot.

But somehow we have......We've competed well.

I think Parcells has done a good job considering all the crap he and the team have been through.

If BP leaves us next season, we'll be starting all over again with a new coach. We'll be set back another two or three years. Heck, we may even have another total change in philosophy......Imagine that.

BP can still coach. We've gone from a perinnial loser, to a team that can compete with any team in the NFL.

Bizwah, excellent recap of our troubled season. Look at other teams that have had similar amounts of adversity. Is anyone having as much success as the Cowboys?

BTW - you forgot all about our beleaguered kicking game costing us three victories, and almost costing us today.

\I'm hanging on for the playoffs till the bitter end, but why didn't he prepare his team last week when it was even more important?

My guess is he didn't do anything all that different this week than he did last week, or the week before, or before any of his games with the Jets, Patriots or Giants.

Which should lead you to some conclusions, if you are thinking.....

Certainly the Eagles haven't......

Yes, that certainly has to play into some of BP's decisions.

The type of injuries we've had influences BP's approach. Can you imagine Campo or Switzer coaching this team?

5-11? If we were lucky.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

fickle fans some of you are

forget the coaching against the Chiefs and Panthers, but remember them against the Giants and Commanders when it goes down the crapper

Definitely not forgetting those coaching performances by any means. If you wanna give BP all the credit for those games you certainly have to give him all the blame in the Oakland, both Skins games and the Giants game when his playcalling directly effected the outcome of those games.

I'm no BP hater, but certainly not ready to jump on any BP bandwagon either. He's still a very copnservative playcaller and that costs this team, we allow teams to hang around and with a young defense we have seen the results of allowing teasm to hang around in the 4th quarter.

Agressive does not always = win.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Please.....

I was one of the main people who criticized Bill Parcellls for the Game Plan...wait....I mean no Game Plan against the Commanders.

And you know what...I am going to blast that arse next week too if they come out and lay an egg.

I never said we should fire the guy, I just want him to modify his play calling a bit.

I would certainly say the 2004 Patriots overcame alot of adversity on did a whole heck of alot better. I would also say this year's Patriots team has overcome alot of injuries, especially in their secondary and are gonna be a tough team in the playoffs.

Sure we have had our fair share of injuries, but we weren't prepared for the loss along the offensive line that we suffered. Not that there are alot of options out there on the free agent market, but other teams suffer injuries yet find ways to fill the gaps and win superbowls.

 

[wxcpo]

Agressive does not always = win.

Agreed, but constantly playing for FGs almost always equals a loss.

 

[wileedog]

Agreed, but constantly playing for FGs almost always equals a loss.

Bill Belichick would disagree.

Sorry Zack. The play you are talking about was all Drew. He decided to audible out of the predictable running play that the coaches wanted and decided to go to TG for the game winning pass.

Just giving credit where it's due.
