Ok, we're looking at 15-20 mph winds for the game. LINK It seems obvious that the team that can run the ball the best has the edge in winning this game. Will we get our rbs 20-30 carries or will we defy convention and let Romo sling it 40+ times? What would you do? If I'm in control my gameplan is to pummel the giants into submission. Heavy dosages of DeMarco. I'm not letting them dictate my offense based on their defensive alignment. I'm going straight at them.

Play for TD's and don't rely on Dan to make kicks in that wind. No need for 50 yarders today unless it comes down to that. Lets build up that 4th down stat some........

We will run it successfully the first drive and then abandon it for the remainder of the game or Murray gets hurt and we are left with our young unproven RBs.

We will try to win the game with slinging it around in bad weather while Eli will take what our maligned D will gives him and outscores us for the victory.

I know it is cynical and pessimistic, but no one can argue that it is inconsistent with how we have played this season and seasons before.

Go ahead Boys, make a liar out of me! I'd take an extra portion of crow and eat it with delight.

I know people like to pick at this but he got it from Nick Saban and this philosophy does work.

Virtually every successful organization follows this philosophy.

It's moronic, of all things, to choose this to make a joke of.

Running the ball is a process.
Competing is a process.
Winning is a process.
Making the playoffs is a process.
Learning to coach is a process.
Being a fan is a process.
Instituting a process is a process.

Cold weather and wind means running. No way Romo should be fitting the ball into tight windows. His passes should be capped at 25.

Shame about the wind. The Giants probably will have an easier time running against our decimated defense versus us running against their defense.

Hopefully, they can make some plays in the passing game. We are going to need to score a bunch.

Not that I totally disagree with you but not all processes work and Garrett is living proof. If a CEO was getting results liked Garrett with assets equivalent to the talent on this team they would be fired.

Just to say, the wind chill in Chicago is around 12 today. Just imagine when the sun sets. Thats 2 games from now.

What will Garrett do????? Probably figure out a way to lose the game by bad clock management, icing his own kicker, etc........................or come up with a new way of losing to an inferior team.

And yet you and others have no idea what the "process" is. It's just a fancy catch word to excuse failure. What is the "process?" Trading away draft picks? Neglecting the trenches? Stacking one bad game on top of the next? Bad clock management? And if every successful organization used this process then why are we still mired in .500 football with the worse D in the NFL? It's moronic to think that what we are doing has anything to do with some master plan or process that others have used to successfully build a winning team.

Trading away draft picks? As if we do that every year.

Ignoring the trenches? 2 1st rounders in 3 years...locked up Free to a huge contract when he was the hottest LT on the market. Wooing a pro bowl guard out of retirement. Paying 11M for Spencer, the huge contract we gave to Ware the big contract we gave to Ratlif....this all amounts to ignoring the trenches?

Stacking one bad game on top of the next? Holy hyperbole.

Bad clock management? Very little for anyone to quibble on this year. And no we did not mismanage the clock in Detroit.

You're a bag of cliches, inaccuracies and poor logic.

We probably traded away more draft picks than just about any team in the NFL, certainly during Jerry's post Jimmy GM tenure. We used 4 first round and two third round picks on wide receivers over the past 10 years. Most normal clubs trade those picks for franchise QB's. We used multiple picks on TE's. We traded up for Claiborne, Spencer, Ekuban and lord knows who else (LeFleur, Carver?) because I've lost track. Paying 11 million for Spencer (two years in a row) was an act of desperation because Jerry neglected the lines so much that he had no one in the wings or planned for his departure. When you have 15 players between the O and D line (10 rotating D linemen and 5 starting O linemen), your examples are hardly adequately addressing a position of need. Please.......
