Something Tells Me Wade Phillips Isn’t Surviving

↵The excitable story in Dallas Saturday morning came from Jerry Jones’ comments that, win or lose, the Cowboys felt comfortable with its coaching staff in terms of next season. But could Jones have predicted a pathetic effort like this?
↵
↵The survivalist Eagles took a 27-3 lead over Dallas in the locker room at the half. The Cowboys offense, led by the flu-like symptomed Tony Romo, has been atrocious. The Dallas secondary has been its usual self, which is to say it has been awful. Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook have been stellar and the Eagles have had a number of big plays.
↵
↵To these eyes, Jones’ endorsement of Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett seemed vague and soft. Add the less-than-certain sentiment to an absolute embarrassment in the making, and there’s no way the staff survives the week. Polish those resumés, prospective coaches.

UPDATE:
It gets worse: Romo fumbles inside the red zone, and Philly’s Chris Clemons took it back for a score. 34-3.
↵
↵UPDATE #2: Oh my flipping goodness. Next drive, Dallas gets down to the Philly four. Marion Barber fumbles it, Eagle Joselio Hanson grabs it and takes it 96 yards for another score. 41-3. Jones might sell the franchise.
↵
↵UPDATE #3: Would you believe that Romo fumbled again on the Cowboys’ next possession, setting up a David Akers field goal which gave the Eagles a 44-3 lead? Yeah, I didn’t think so.↵
