Game Day ***Cowboys vs Packers post game thread***

[Rogerthat12]

Inconsistent team, not good enough.

WR, OL and still have no answer to stop the run.

No doubt will ruin the season and expose more stupid front office management of known but not properly addressed issues.

 

[Cowboys5217]

I'm going to strart right now and blame the refs for next weeks loss to the vikings.

You'll more than likely be correct.

Right decision not kick a FG. The success probability was low.

Dallas Cowboys #3 in defensive ranking.

if you get a touchdown on the first possession, you have a 70.29% chance of winning. If you don't, you have a 76.38% chance of losing, regardless of whether that failure was on a missed or made field goal, forced turnover, or failed 4th down conversion. That's an enormous swing, but the reason why is pretty simple: even with a made field goal, you've now surrendered the ball and can only hope to send the game to 2OT (or get a turnover), and that only gets you a win about a third of the time - and if you miss, you're really up a creek. Getting a touchdown, and thus forcing your opponent to follow suit just to get to 2OT, on the other hand, is a huge advantage. But is it big enough to justify going for it on 4th down, where failing to convert virtually guarantees a loss?

yeah I think most Cowboy fans are just apathetic towards wins and loses now... Cowboys aren't winning anything with Dak at QB and Jerry calling the shots... Cowboys are a mid level team with Dak at QB, maybe win a playoff game every few years but no run into the playoffs.

"Apathetic"? Have you read this thread?

 

[lsg13]

That referee needs his *** viciously beaten for blatantly ignoring the PI on third down

I agree it needs to be addressed with him, it's part of his job performance and he failed at it.

 

[lsg13]

I don't think I will ever watch the Cowboys play Rodgers ever again. Why watch? The outcome is always the same.

Oh well, on to the next game...

Rodgers owns us...

there isn't a 2nd OT in the regular season.
if dallas scores a td there...the game ends.
if they kick the fg then green bay has a shot to win it with a td.
in my opinion...they should've kicked the fg and try to win it with our defense.
i love mccarthy but that was too aggressive.

The difference is, that Buffalo is a playoff bound team that goofed in one game, and, the Cowboys are a team that wants to be a playoff bound team, that goofed against an arch rival.

Lol Cowboys lost 3 games Bills lost 3
They're both 6-3. ...lol

Dude, what year did you stop watching football?

 

[Steve007]

You'll more than likely be correct.

I will. The cowboys have never lost a game. They were stolen by the refs.

 

[lsg13]

"Apathetic"? Have you read this thread?

well "apathetic" towards wins and loses, not so much on how those happen... as a Cowboys fan if you were around when they were good you can't tell me that loses now bother you like they did when they were good... You have to be use to the loses and no success over the past 20 years, you can't help but be callused to the blown games.

 

[Coogiguy03]

This was personal to him, he only cared about beating his former employer! I don't feel bad that he wasn't successful!

 

[lukin2006]

Upon further reflection…games like this happen. The Bills at home, with a better team than ours, blew a 17 point lead to Minnesota. And Minnesota just got by Washington last week…but this was a very winnable game. I just hate that Moore still is the OC. Dak threw 46 times when both our backs were running well. Just dumb play caller he is…

I was replying to previous reply stating that if Dallas kicks a field goal, they have an 18% chance of winning. I though McCarthy should have kicked the field goal

they wont need to make a bad call to save that game for the Vikings...

gotcha.
if this were a playoff game...i'd have no problem with it.
but this point of the season...i'd kick the fg and try to win it with my defense.

 

[lsg13]

there are games decided by bad calls.

 

[cowboyec]

i do.
i hate it when we lose.
hate fraudgers.
hate lambeau.
hate lombardi.
hate green bay and the whole damn state of wisconsin except for the cowboys fans who live there.

 

[Gaede]

Motto of the team: Not good enough.

Yet another season with players, coaches, and a franchise that are happy with simply not sucking

He knows Rogers more than anyone and he was right. Had he not gone for it he would have gotten a TD.
