the difference in being a COMPETITOR vs. a good SPORT. Parcells wouldve done the same exact thing. hope these guys battle it out for years to come.

I think we can take a lot from this loss. First off Gardner IS a deep threat when the game is on the line. Secondly our offense is beginning to come together almost all around from Brunnel throwing a nice tight spiral, to Portis busting up the middle for 10, to our tight ends becoming desperately needed weapons. Our offensive line took a step back as did our defense, but you could argue that our best athletes weren't on the field for both units, Jansen= an extra second or two for Brunnel every down and Arrington= a tremendous pass rush threat at any time during the game and possibly even a big time play that could have won last nights game.
As for Gibbs being a sore loser, he and Parcells go way back. Remember 56, LT, of the Giants was the one who ended Theisman's career and because of that it took an additional two years to find the right QB in Doug Williams to win Gibbs next superbowl. Well we have a number 56 now, LA, and if he played last night would have been sent hunting after Vinny boy. Also Gibbs lost the NFC championship against Parcells in early 87. Gibbs said that he used to hate going up to the Meadowlands to play the Giants, from the fans to facing Parcells in his own back yard. I believe that Parcells is the only coach to have a winning record against Gibbs. So there is a lot of history between these two guys. Both Gibbs and Parcells have admitted to being friends off the field but when its time to coach the two wont speak to each other for years at a time. Put all that together overtop of the Skins Vs. Boys and you have one hell of a game. So just because Gibbs didn't look Parcells in the eye after the game, don't consider that sore, consider it a burning fire in the pit of Gibbs stomach that has been raging ever since he came back in January to win so bad and turn this franchise around that losing is not an option. And you better believe Gibbs has been waiting for this game ever since the schedules came out and to lose it knowing that it should have been won is hard to swallow. At least he shook Parcells hand after the game, not like Buddy Ryan who would run off the field after a loss not looking or talking to anyone. Now thats a sore loser. :thumb:

He shook his hand, who cares if he didn't look at him.

First LaVar is having too much fun in the box and now Gibbs wasn't a gracious enough loser.

Yawn

Who said LaVar was having too much fun in the box? That's retarded.

Gibbs takes losing hard, I can't blame him.

I can relate to a point, losing just isn't something to be accepted. I've walked away from games before without shaking hands with opponents, it's not meant to disrespect the opponent but at that moment I'm so furious with losing I can't stand to put on a happy face and shake someone's hand.

If you want to see a diss check out Gregg Williams, he jogged by Parcells and patted him on the shoulder, didn't even stop to shake his hand.

The one thing I was kind of wondering about though is why was LaVar in the box in the first place. Barrow was down on the field with his teammates, why wasn't LaVar?

Maybe he was invited up there?

Maybe he's supposed to stay off his feet?

Who knows

Everyone on the team should hate losing as much as Gibbs. You have to hate it more than anything else; that's what drives a winner.

I was to mad to talk to anyone after that game last night so why would I expect anything different from coach Gibbs? He is the one who poured 7 sleepless nights into preparing only to watch a completely winnable game slip away. Anyone who yucks it up after a loss like that obviously does not have the same emotionaly invested in the team as I do.

Maybe he was invited up there?

Maybe he's supposed to stay off his feet?

Who knows

They said he was on crutches this week, so I'd guess that was it...
