Comments on: Parcells, Tasker back Belichick on Gronk decision http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/21/parcells-tasker-back-belichick-on-gronk-decision/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sun, 19 May 2013 05:11:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: soj83 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/21/parcells-tasker-back-belichick-on-gronk-decision/#comment-2130582 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 22:12:06 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1543340#comment-2130582 I can see his point about the kicker possibly getting hurt, but does that mean the kicker is at a higher risk of injury the rest of the season because Gronk got hurt on a meaningless extra point?

I know it’s easy to second guess a coach, but they do make the decisions on personnel. As much as it hurts the Pats to have him injured, they aren’t the only team with a top tier player injured.

What BB did was to absorb the lessons from all the greats he came in contact with. That is where his so called genius lies.

Total luck. If Chad Pennington didn’t fall into his lap that year, he had us going into season with Josh McCown at QB.

After that season, it was a disaster. Losing season after losing season. Fans protesting. Fans hoping to lose so that we could draft Andrew Luck. Boring, Losing. Garbage. Parcells.

I really need to proof read posts before hitting submit.

How nice for BB but he is still a cheater. Everyone knows he is a cheater and that is the worst thing to be known for in sports or any walk of life.

Obsessed much?

We all saw the negative impact on the Colts when Bill Polian sat all of his star players to protect and rest them the year the were on an undefeated streak.

It’s pompous and they deserve this. BB’s ego is what this is about, run a few times and burn 2 and a half minutes, when you get close to the endzone, 3 runs and a FG, don’t throw so you score another TD, just to show everyone How great you are.

What’s just fine for 1 team is not ok for the Patriots. Glad to see people who actually have personal knowledge of the game at the pro level are defending BB. The piling on the Patriots over every little thing is absurd.

Didn’t Bill Parcells come in to a team that went 1-15 and had them in the playoffs at 11-5 the very next year?

What a stinker he left.

You have no choice but to use some guys in certain situations, there are no back ups. I am a Bills fan and saying this about BB. Freak accident it happens.

Notice how he never chimes in to support Tony Sparano, even though Sparano has gotten much worse press than BB. Know why? Because he doesn’t want people remembering the disaster Parcells orchestrated in Miami, and how he pulled a Nick Saban and ran and hid when he realized the incompetence of those he picked to lead our team.

The stink Sparano left on Miami, and now is leaving on the NYJ has Parcells fingerprints all over it, and he will never, ever acknowledge it. But I’ll bet there are pictures of Parcells and BB all over Parcells’ mansion.

Just remember, Scott Norwood makes that FG 22 years ago, and today Bill Parcells is the Defensive Coordinator at Univ of Virginia.

Why? obviously this means everything *Parcells* knows
