Anyone else thinks Bill looks tired tonight and think he is coming to his end after this season with Dallas?

I agree and that is not good for a 3-3 team.

I agree with the first two posts. Things don't look good in Big D.

I disagree... we've all seen disguisted Parcells, tonight he looked like a beaten old man.

WWPRD?
TO sucked the energy out of him...he looks like he's not enjoying football anymore.

Thats BS. TO actually makes this team dynamic and dangerous. Without TO this a 8-8 or 9-7 team. There is no evidence that Parcells is drained of energy due to TO
Wheelhouse
Footballguy
But with TO they're 3-3
Barry
Footballguy
and with him they're 3-3
Avery
Footballguy
with TO they are a 3-3 team.

Has anyone mentioned that they are 3-3 with TO?

I know some will object to this, but maybe Parcells just isn't the coach he used to be.

He's made his move to Romo even though his team is only 1 game back in the division race. They'll only go as far as Romo can take them, and he knows this.
What's going to be interesting to me is that Bledsoe has agitated when things haven't gone his way in other places, and that plus TO makes for a volatile situation.
I have Romo on my dynasty roster, so I'm loving that he made this move, but personally I think it's a tad early. Hell, even Gibbs is sticking with his incumbent veteran QB for the time being and his team's 2-5.

Off-topic, but TO made the most critical mistake of the game. That drop was HUGE.
the game ended well past his bedtime

Footballguy
Well he doesn't have Belichick running his defense and he doesn't have Lawrence Taylor either. Parcells is or was a good coach, but he is very overated in IMO.

Let me explain the last statement. I believe that the Cowboys will right the ship and end up 10-6 or 11-5 without TO (for the whole season) i believe that at best they would go 8-8 or 9-7Does that make sense?

Alot of arm-chair psychologists out there.
Um, Parcells is a pretty smart guy.
I think he might have known he was on TV.
After 2 stints in NY IMO He understands how to best use the media to his advantage. IMO The "tired old man" act is for his competition and his players to see. Never underestimate this man.
Course, I never saw the Romo move coming either though..................

PerhapsBut more likely the circus that is the Dallas Cowboys is not a Bill Parcells team. Player #81 makes the whole game almost a joke.

It really has nothing to do with TO and everything to do with Jerry Jones. This man has ruined the Dallas Cowboys.The Fasano pick and the Skyler Green pick also sucked monkey balls
Well yeah - #81 and JJ might as well be twins in terms of their personality. It would appear that their mommies didn't love them. I like Bill's style much better - football is a team sport and I'm the leader of the team - so why are we talking about a player or an owner. We don't see Dan Rooney on TV every game mugging....or Kraft....even Dan Snyder has tried to ####. I'd say that the Rooney/Kraft method seems to be more effective.

You'd look tired and disgusted, too, if your offensive and definsive lines just got manhandled for 3 solid hours.

Living in the Dallas area, I see (and hear) a lot of clips from various press conferences with Parcells, and I get the impression that he hasn't been enjoying football for quite some time now. He's playing out the string.The role of T.O. in his lack of enjoyment is subject to debate, but I think he's definitely gotten fed up with the circus. Personally, I think it has a lot more to do with this team not being anywhere near what he thought (or convinced himself) it would be.

Hey Cowboys fans.
I hate to burst any sort of bubble that you have left, but switching to Romo at half-time of the seventh game of the season means that Bill has thrown in the towel.
Have a nice rest of the season.

Forget the press conference or the post-game.
I was watching pregame and dude's face was like his dog ran away. Doesn't look happy at all, if you ask me, and that was BEFORE a huge divisional game was to start.
Maybe it's cause he knows his team isn't good enough to win it all and he wants to leave the game soon? Maybe he hates having the Owens distraction?
Maybe permanently removing The Statue from the lineup will change his demeanor?
I'm a Giants fan and seeing Bledsoe hold the ball in the pocket for about 5 seconds before getting sacked by Strahan was painful to watch.

Yea I am sure he isn't happy. He doesn't look it and do you blame him? He is a good coach but stuck on a bad team with Jones as the owner.
I am waiting for one of these weeks for him to hand the headset to jones when he is on the sideline and say "since your down here on the field, then you coach" and up and resign lol

In his heydey, Parcells used to be a guy who engendered alot of loyalty. While he was clearly the commander, he brought out the passion in alot of his players because they would get so infuriated at his constant manipulation and degradation, yet know that he was motivating them better than they ever thought possible.
So you saw guys like Pepper Johnson, Dave Meggett, Drew Bledsoe, Curtis Martin and even Keyshawn Johnson follow him around because they believed in him.
But you don't get that sense anymore, sure there aren't many players left who could follow him around from his previous post, but it just seems like Parcells is on an island by himself now and what keep the troops in check is more the story of his legend rather than the presense of it.
Quite honestly, I think that the T.O move was the straw that will be pointed to, that broke the camels back. But I always saw Dallas as a curious move for Parcells in the first place as if he was just young enough to really make a go of it. To see if he could reclaim past greatness...Fact is, even with T.O, Parcells is a pretty big egomaniac himself, albeit not with some of the drama that T.O brings. And while he stills can charm the media with his surliness and quips, I think bottomline, Parcells no longer has the stomach to do this day after day, year after year. I think his players know and realize this and while they respect him still, I don't think you'd see any of them sell themselves completely out, give everything they have in their being, in order to succeed. That's what used to make Parcells special is that he could bring that out in his players, his team. Not anymore...

Of course he looks tired. He took the job under duress since his wife left him and just straight up cleaned him out of his assets. He owed 5Mil on his house and had a job as a studio analyst that at the time wasn't making as much as those spares get now.
He had to go back to coaching or else would go broke. Make enough to pay down his debt and pay off his wife to get free and clear and quit.
He needed 3 years to do this and Jerry strung him out for at least another one.
He's not called the New Jersey Conman for nothing.

For those who don't remember, he looked this way (beaten, defeated, vacant, like he wanted to be elsewhere) for the last several games last year also. I'm surprised he didn't retire then. He didn't seem to have the energy or resilience or optimism to make it through another season.

Even if Bill puts Bledsoe back in as the starter, he's wrecked him for the season.For better or worse, the quarterback of the Cowboys is now Tony Romo.Think about that for a second. Tony Romo. You think he is going to take this team as far as Bill hoped when the season began? There is ZERO chance that the 'Boys contend for anything with a guy that before last night had only thrown two passes in his entire CAREER. He may be the QB of the future, but this season went down the toilet for the 'Boys last night.Andy Dufresne said:

I agree with that. How Parcells thought Bledsoe was the right QB for the situation was baffling to me.Almost as baffling as all the FF guys that thought Drew was a viable option for their rosters this year.Fixed to what everyone thought before Romo. It didn't ever matter who the qb was. Dallas just isn't that good. They have pieces but not a team. And ya, I'm a cowboys fan.Even if Bill puts Bledsoe back in as the starter, he's wrecked him for the season.Andy Dufresne said:

He may be the QB of the future, but this season went down the toilet for the 'Boys last night before the season started.

I too have that impression. Remember, the circumstances in his private life when he was hired were that he was going through what was going to be an expensive divorce, and it was widely speculated that he needed one more big coaching contract to put things right for himself. I just don't see the passion or fire in him that he once had, which in turn means that this is probably the worst possible year of his coaching career to have gotten stuck with TO.Cajun Heat said:
So, TO is good for a 2 game improvement, at most? They were 9-7 last year, with Julie S missing much time, as a rookie. With a season under his belt, and gaining TO, they only win, at most, 2 more games. No, that doesn't make sense, if you're a believer in TO improving a team. I'm not a believer in TO improving team. I do believe TO is the best receiver in the game, but I don't believe he makes a team better. I believe he destroys team chemistry. He'll make great plays, but tear the team apart at the same time. Can Dallas right the ship? I believe so. The D was repeatedly in horrible position last night with the TO's, one for a TD, and still the Giants only win by 14. It's ugly, but it could have been much worse, like it was for the Giants in Seattle in week 2.simmonjm said:
I hate the word "Haters"Doesn't the same sentence sound much more intelligent this way:I think T.O. is far less of a factor in this equation than all of you who hate him would like it to be?And by the way T.O. is the problem he is a spoiled little boy who whines anytime things don't go his way and a whiner will wear on your nerves faster than anything, just ask anybody with a 5 year old.SickThing said:

I stated this at the time that Tuna Chapter IV would follow the same trend as prior sequels and be more disappointing than the precursor.Tuna Chaper 1 - Giants - A Hall of Fame performanceTuna Chapter 2 - Got to the Super Bowl, a very encouraging encore. However, his "halo" starts to be eclipsed by some dark clouds given the circumstances of his departureTuna Chapter 3 - Somewhat of a turnaround, but a real mixed bag. I'm a JETS fan and on balance have more negative feelings than positive feelings about his body of work with the JETS. Left behind bad contracts with old players and his mishandling of the Belicek Succession Plan (which despite the passing of Mr Hess, still could have been executed effectively) was simply unforgiveableTuna Chapter 4 - 1 medicore playoff appearance with a 1st round exit. Stubbornly resisted upgrading the QB position to a needed level (Vinny, followed by Bledsoe). Club will be no better off when he leaves than when he arrived. C'est la vie.
