Yes, because only the Cowboys’ coaches could stop handing the ball off to a guy who had 100 yards rushing at halftime, with a 23-point lead.
I mean, really?? How stupid is that?
Jason Garrett should be fired for losing that game, plain and simple.
“Eagles coach Chip Kelly may be able to rest key players like QB Nick Foles on Sunday night if the Cowboys win earlier in the day.
Nobody ever has accused the NFL of failing to make a profit.
But you can’t help wonder if the league finally has gone too far and maximized television exposure over competitive integrity. The decision to flex the Bears-Eagles game to NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” comes with unintended consequences that could include the Lions’ chances of making the playoffs.
If the Cowboys beat the host Redskins earlier in the day, the Eagles gain nothing with a victory over the Bears. Is there a scenario in which they could treat the game as a sort of golden off week and rest key players for the season finale against the Cowboys that will determine the NFC East division winner?
If that were to happen, the Lions conceivably could beat the visiting Giants, but effectively be eliminated from the playoffs if the Packers beat the visiting Steelers and the Bears are handed a victory in Philadelphia.”
ME: IF detroit loses, and GB wins ... the game means almost nothing to CHI. Well, this article does not consider seeding for #3 and #4 seeds.
