Yeah Romo sucked, Bryant left the game late when his back gave out, but the game was still in there grasp going into the fourth. Austin decided he had enough and took himself out of the game for what reason I am not sure, but if it were an injury you think he may have went to the locker room. Instead he stood there helmet on, no treatment watching his teammates go down in flames. I knew right there and than he was not a RKG and his time was thankfully done.

It WAS an injury. Not sure what you're confused about here.

And our coaches and players have said nothing but positive things about Austin. He's even getting talked up about being a great teammate in Philly.

A professional QB. Who in our secondary can cover Miles when he's healthy?

Again.........the ball has to get there. They got Tebow and Bradford, both of whom by all eagle coaching accounts, are running neck and neck in TC.

WHOA!! Bradford must suck..................

I'm really, really ok with Philly going from Shady McCoy to Murray.

I mean... I truly am fine with it.

I think it is lol worthy that they're paying him that much and that people in Philly think Cowboy fans are so upset about it that a plane banner that reads, "We have Murray" would bother us.

I'm not ok with it since we have no RB worth a sat and that's exactly what carried the team last season.

In 2009 probably nobody. In 2015 all of them. The guy can't run anymore. Hamstring injuries have zapped him of his speed.

Define healthy? Miles Austin has done next to nothing in quite some time. Hell I bet Brandon Carr would lock him down

When he was healthy last year he looked no better Patrick Crayton. All those hammy injuries have robbed him of his explosivness. You could see it in 2013 when he actually got on the field before Williams took over. What was his YPC?

You do know this is a "what are you doing now" league- not a "what have you done lately." Carr was garbage last year, but I will not gauge last year's performance on what will happen this year until he plays in a real game. Anyway, I'm talking what-ifs scenarios.

I know I'm biased but Murray just doesn't look like he just signed a multi MM $ contract with a team he wants to play for. He has that same body language as a QB that just got picked by the Jets or the Browns.
I think that phili camp is a little confused and he may not be buying into Chips collegiate workout strategy. If he struggles early, the boo birds will be all over him and it will get interesting.
Of course it could be all wishful thinking on my part.

Nothing would make me happier than to see those crap philly Fans boo him

Murray made it clear he wanted to stay here more than any player I have ever seen in professional sports.
For that I will never feel ill will towards him.

It's sad to see him and Miles playing for other teams. The business of professional sports has us fans cheering passionately for laundry.

Fortunately, it hasn't come to that yet. NFL teams are still very identifiable by their star players, unlike baseball and basketball, which just funnel all the star players to a few teams. No way Aaron Rodgers would be in Green Bay if it was like baseball.

Murray just got lucky that Chip Kelly was a desperate fool, and Miles Austin is extending a career that has long since ended from an impactful standpoint. Miles just isn't good enough to be on a good team anymore.
