The leader of the NFC East Eagles just gave you a gift by losing to a Minny team without AP, do you take advantage of it?
1st half running game is killing it, should we continue to run?
Got a good lead, but the lead is dwindling?
In the 2nd half and your defense is letting us down again after a great first half?
Need to really manage the clock to help the defense?
Need to manage the clock to keep the lead?
Need to make sure the Green Bay offense has less time to make a come back?

So.....................................................................................................................................

Let's abandon the run
Throw passes that have a greater chance of becoming Turn over than running the ball
Make sure that if we do not complete passes they will stop the clock FOR THE OTHER TEAM
Ignore a strong case of Deja Vu from a couple of years back
You smack away the Vikings and say no thank you for beating the eagles.
Let's reach yet more mile stones of crappyness under this staff.

It look like he's yelling, "Why!?" or "What!?"...

Good question...

Yep...that was what I seen as well when it happened...

As in WHY would you pass there and abandon the run in the 2nd half

Or WHAT are we trying to do on offense by abandoning the run.

And this is not just in those to pass plays that resulted in INTs.

I think some people will get stuck on those two times.

This has been a problem for a loooong time.

However normally the ginger will get raked over the coals and move on to the next game where they run the ball too much...they don't even do that any more.

Garretts game management is so horrible and it's really surprising to me because he's actually a very smart guy with a football background.

He just seems to not be in touch with the flow of a game. It was obvious they wanted to be aggressive yesterday but at the point you're up by 23 you have to change gears some and start controlling the clock. Time and again when he can actually influence a game it seems to always be in a negative way.

Even if the HC position here is one of a neutered figure head you have to atleast have the ability to manage a game and he clearly doesn't

He's been frustrated all season.

Too many times He's heard his number called only to have Tony change it and that usually leads to a blunder.

Yea we all know he's a smart guy but for some reason Jason is not football smart. And he's paid millions to be football smart. He 's just lost out there. He needs to go!

at the same time he's had to deal with media reports that the team is not happy with him running out of bounce that he's not in their long term future plans. dude has been a boss this year.

I like Romo and still think this team can win with him but if he can't be relied on to run the right play in a given situation he needs to be Schaubed...run the play that's called. Period.

I haven't been this disappointed in a while. The Bears game was just an arse kicking and the defense was mostly to blame but they did what the needed to do for the most part yesterday. Sure they returned to form in the 2nd half but with a HC that knows what the heck he's doing the Cowboys beat Green Bay. They had a great opportunity and yet again refused to take advantage.

Frustration is the word that comes to mind.

33 yards away from 1k for the season. Which is an amazing stat when you consider how many times we abandon the run and how many times he gets injured.

Stopped reading there........

Lol yea yea but they don't just give away degrees from princeton. It's obvious there is a big difference between book and football smarts.

even still the guy was a qb for this team so it's not like he never had any exposure to the game. It's baffling.

Murray says visit to children’s hospitals helps reduce his anger over loss
Murray said signing autographs at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children helped him put football in perspective.

“You think about yesterday and you are mad about that,” Murray said, “and then as soon as you step (in) here, you totally forget about it. It’s the last thing that crosses your mind. Just knowing what these kids are going through on a daily basis, how much fight they have, just makes you look up to them.”

Asked if he was calmer this morning, Murray said, “I’m just focused on being here with the kids and trying to help them out as much as I can.”

Asked if it was tough for him to get out of bed Monday morning, Murray said, “Like I said, once I knew we were coming here, it just touched my heart and I’m always willing to do this. Such a blessing and I cherish these types of moments just to put a smile on these types of kids faces. This is something we will never forget and it’s something we will never forget as players.”

I remember former Canadiens' goalie Jose Theodore said something similar a number of years ago. The team was not playing well, they were being booed off the ice and he said, you go to the hospital and the kids love you, you see what they go through and you forget the rest.
