Killer instinct is needed. Too many times in that position with bad results.
Pretend that's Aaron Rodgers on the other side. What would we do then?

We couldn't even gain a yard lol
That’s what the situation called for. It put them in the exact circumstance you described. Zeke was killing them. There’s no way they should have done that.

This is what I was talking about during the week. He has a glitch before halves and at the end of games. It’s always been that way with him.
He really does.

It's like, when the chips are down and Linehan is under pressure, he freaks and thinks he has to do something outlandish.

If you're trying to run clock and make them use TO's, you run the ball.

It was a screen pass lol. The risk of a screen pass is exactly what happened. Its a catch for a loss. You just want to make sure you don't get a incompletion there. If you think there's a chance for that screen pass to be a incompletion then fair enough. We just see it different.

Beasley could tip the ball - pick 6. Beasley could juggle and fumble the ball - eagles ball. Beasley could drop the ball or Dak under/over throws - incomplete and eagles save a timeout.

STUPID !!!!!!! I’m ecstatic for the win but Linehan (I assume he called that) has to go. Still trying to make Dak a pocket passer as well.

how do you not run zeke on that final possession!? Throw a screen to Beasley !?

Love the win ! But seriously it’s time to fire Linehan.
you know the defense was focused on zeke...and they had three time outs and as soon as we run a play, they call a time out...so that's nitpicking on something that absolutely makes no difference.....in fact why not....if he makes a first down...really, then the game is over....they came up 8 yards short...it wasn't slam dunk in the end

Being stupid .. 2 of the 3 plays could’ve been disasterous ... screen to Bease ?!?!? DUMB !!! Could’ve resulted in easy pick six
Then the Dak keeper just looked sloppy that could’ve been bad too
However we won in spite of our coaching on offense

That was well said, we won "in spite of our coaching on offense". Our last possession was an exercise in supreme stupidity.

This is the best thing to do. Running Zeke is expected. You convert a 1st down, game over without Philly getting the ball. Ballsy call by Garrett and coaches.
