Eagles should bench DeMarco Murray for rest of the season

That’s something that I never thought I’d be saying or hearing at any point during this season. His bad performances started with Week 1 against the Falcons, but I assumed he’d bounce back by now. The bottom line is he hasn’t.

Some people complained that Murray wasn’t given enough time on Sunday night to get into a groove running the ball, as he was given a season-low two touches (both carries) in the game and didn’t even touch the field until the second quarter. Those two carries were converted into just three yards, completing another poor day for him.
