Couple more things.

I think Jason knows he does have the same amount of job security as he once had.
I just do not believe he would have called on onside kick at that time of the game unless he was secure as he used to be or still felt as secure.
He is a conservative coach by nature and I think that was one of the...hey I gotta try something moments.

HOWEVER my next point/observation is at odds with my one above, seems this team is making me have a split personality of sorts...

I don't recall this team just running the ball to end a game. It was not just some players giving up. That was the HC giving up.
Running the ball at that stage of the game was nothing more than trying to bleed the clock and get the game to end as soon as possible. Some could argue it was to keep Romo from getting hurt but if that was the case he could have had Orton step in. Some can argue that he did that to try and surprise the saints and possibly get some good yardage, again if that was the case they would not have continued to do it for a good bit.

Nope...that was a coach giving up the game right there and wanting it over.

At least that is what I seen.

In honesty its not the record shattering numbers I was upset about last night - I pretty much did come in expecting a shellacking. It was the players quitting. And I thought exactly what you said here when they started running the ball - "Holy crap, even the coach is giving up."

The only positive thing you could ever really say about Garrett as a HC that most people would agree with was the team always played hard for him.

Until last night. And then he quit too.

Sorry. An all-time bad defensive performance should be surprising, unless you are into making excuses.

Yep.. the Saints, I believe, were playing with back-up safeties, but we couldn't manage to throw worth a dime...

Let me add another thing or two...

Yelling at Heath. Hard for me to rant and rave about the kid. He is a player from a small school that was not drafted and thrust into a position that he has no business playing right now. Of course he is going to struggle. He is this years Rob Petitti. A player that should not be starting but is forced to do so because of the FO's lack of ability to have proper starters or depth at the position for years. No need to yell at the kid...Yell at the FO. If we are lucky he gains some exp from this terrible year and maybe he winds up being quality depth down the road. But give the kid a break, it's not his fault, he is playing the best he can for now.

This was a crap weekend and a half for me football wise. First my Mountaineers have a night game and a loss with the offense sputtering after losing it's starting QB but still should have won the game. Then in another night game my pro team gets slaughtered. Both are bad, you lose a game in OT that you shoulda/coulda won and then you turn around and lose a game you had no chance of winning. So I got the worst of both outcomes. Although I guess I could have been a Sooner fan and had both of my favorite football teams get blown out on the same weekend...either way I guess they both loss so it still stings no matter the way it happened.

Oh and of course...

I couldnt believe they were wasting time at the end of the game. I have never seen anything like that from the Garrett Football Cowboys and it is the definition of I QUIT, and just a terrible attitude for a leader to show to his team. I dont know what the hell that was, would love for someone in the media to stick a mic in his face and ask him why he was waving the white towel.

Why not just put in the second team and start taking knees if you are that worried about things getting historical?

We are setting records defensively that are embarrassing.

We need change now. Problem is Jerry is in charge. This is what you call football purgatory.

Leaving only one question, on todays' internet if you want have Jerry Jones and his family over for Dinner, is cannibalism illegal?
