Jason Garrett Laid Biggest Egg Yet Against Eagles and Deserves to Be Fired by Monday Morning

The writing has been on the wall for Jason Garrett to be shown the exit door in Dallas for virtually the entire season. For reasons we will never fathom, however, Jerry Jones and Co. remained committed to permitting Garrett the rest of the campaign to show his worth.

In return, Garrett has laid enough eggs to exhaust a mother hen. None, however, were more infuriating than his shambolic display during Dallas' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16 with the NFC East crown on the line.

What more needs to be accounted for? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Jones must swallow his pride and can Garrett by Monday morning. Heck, if the decision were up to us, the HC would be axed before the Cowboys' flight lands back in Dallas -- though that seems to be taking longer than anticipated.

It all comes down to, among a profusion of other things, the team's sheer ineptitude on offense. Their league-leading bunch -- in terms of yards per game -- failed to score a touchdown against an Eagles secondary that was ravaged by injuries.

Sunday's implosion marked the second time in five games that the Cowboys "high-powered" offense failed to find the end zone. That alone should be a fireable offense.

To add more gas to the fire (because why not?), Garrett called Ezekiel Elliott's name just 13 times...in a game where Dak Prescott was reportedly nursing a shoulder impingement!

That's maddening.

We don't care that Dallas is still technically alive in the NFC East race. Garrett must be fired upon entering the Cowboys' team facility on Monday morning.
