Twitter Roasts Cowboys’ Jason Garrett For Use Of Starters In Meaningless Game
The Dallas Cowboys entered Sunday as NFC East champions and had no rhyme or reason to play their starters deep into Week 17’s meaningless game against the New York Giants.
But that didn’t stop Jason Garrett from doing just that.
By doing so, the Cowboys head coach risked injury to players such as Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper and Cole Beasley. Dallas did, however, rest Ezekiel Elliot. But the move prompted Cowboys fans to take to social media to light Garrett up, clearly disapproving of the lineup he rolled onto the field and into the fourth quarter.
JUST MAKES ME SICK. JASON GARRETT PLAYS HIS STARTERS INTO THE 4TH Q OF A MEANINGLESS GAME … AND NOW VANDER ESCH HAS A KNEE INJURY. I KNOW HE WALKED OFF, BUT YOU CAN SEE ON HIS FACE THIS IS NOT GOOD.

Jason Garrett trying that hard to get to 10-6 was something special

Jason Garrett is an absolute psychopath for having Dak Prescott still in this game after what just happened to Leighton Vander Esch

Maybe Jason Garrett doesn’t know #Cowboys have playoff game in six or seven days. Dak opens third quarter of meaningless game as QB.

More awful game management decisions by Jason Garrett. Jerry Jones should force him to play quarterback in the 4th quarter.

Dak Prescott getting sacked, taking big hits. What is Jason Garrett trying to prove here? This is absolute insanity.

For what it’s worth, which isn’t much, the Cowboys beat their rival Giants by a narrow score of 36-35.
