Yeah ... I guess so.

Which makes it even stranger that Romo wasn't pulled when the game was out of hand.

I don't understand the thought process.

Garrett lacks situational awareness

With a healthy Romo I think we eat those clowns alive with our all out passing attack. Maybe he was hoping for a miracle.

I think you misunderstood Garrett... It's just "the process." There's no thought to it.

What I found disturbing but not the least surprised, is the personal foul call on Harris, for blocking the guy on the punt return.

Harris had a right to block the guy from downing the punt.

I disagree. This system of Garrett is done. Too predictable. Why do our WRs have trouble getting open? Because the DBs know the WR tree to this system as much as they do.

Garrett's system and playcalling i the most predictable. This has been stated by many opposing defenders.

If you look at the Eagles offensively, they and the Cowboys are quite similar and comparable. We have the obvious edge in QB and Murray is better than McCoy but not by much. Dunbar is similar to Sproles, except Dunbar is grossly under utilized. TEs are similar, as well as WRs. OL is comparable. Thing is... Eagles have better depth, and better coaching period.

I'm hoping we finish 8-8. We're not making the playoffs at 9-7. I very well see us losing to the Bears, Colts, and Eagles again. It'd make no sense to beat the Redskins and finish 9-7 to miss the playoffs and hurt our draft position.

If this happens... I think Garrett is gone. I HOPE. I think Stephen will force Jerry's hand in not extending Garrett.

Said it in the Jax game, but I think Romo runs the show. He didn't want to come out, so he didn't.

And it's not that Garrett doesn't have the authority to pull Romo -- as in, Jerry wouldn't let him -- but that Garrett doesn't have the balls to do it. Jesse Holley even said on the postgame that maybe they have too much of a buddy-buddy relationship for Garrett to stand up to him like that. Several other observers have said similar things over the years.

Our 8 wins are against the Jags (1-10), Titans (2-9), Giants twice (3-8), Saints (4-7), Rams (4-7), Texans (5-6), and Seahawks (7-4).

I used your post on another board and I didn't give you any journalistic credit because I wanted folks to think I did the research on my own. Is that plagiarizing?

There's probably a lot of truth to this. And I'll add that Garrett has no skins on the wall at ANY level unless you consider him getting a SB ring as a back-up QB. Players know why and how Garrett is the HC of this team and he wields little to no authority. That's the way Jerry wants it and it all plays well when you're winning but will be a cancer as the season collapses.

laugh it up, boys. laugh it up.

It's sad! ?

Jerry Jones needs 2 stay in the background and let Garrett do what needs 2 be done, Garrett had the authority 2 pull Romo out of the game, but ur right, Jerry wudn't let him, despite Romo's back issues.

and bbgun was on the we haven't beaten anyone bandwagon well before I posted that.

Midswat · Nov 28, 2014

Cowboys vs Eagles rewind on NFL Network now.

Midswat · Nov 28, 2014

Wow... Didn't notice yesterday but both McClain and even Hutchins were very slow reacting to the ball.

First two drives and McClain didn't run full speed on any play. Literally jogging out there

This is precisely why I barely can enjoy this team/sport anymore.

Im sitting in my living room stewing mad, everyone knows they should leave me alone. Yet these guys are doing this.
