Game Day ***Cowboys vs Packers 1st Half thread***

[Staubacher]

it was a run play on 3rd and 1 and he changed it to a pass

You don't know that they were in shotgun

 

[Risen Star]

Tony checked out of the original call

Don't let facts get in the way.

Horrible series of events though. From potentially 21-7 to 14-10.

 

[romothesavior]

Thats why i asked if he was injured. Hes usually dead center for us. Been off in the playoffs.

They're also kicking out of a sandbox. That ground is awful.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

I rather be up than down over these Packers. Should be a great finish. Do no stop running.

 

[viman96]

Remember the Packers are a 1st half team. The goal of the 1st half was to not let them get a lead.

Dallas is good with 2nd half adjustments so still confident we can get the win

 

[GOLDENCHILD1688]

terrible end to the half. we shoudve been up at least double digits smh

 

[Gaede]

Romo isn't hurt apparently

No kidding. Buck is the most one sided commentator I've ever heard. He's constantly searching for story lines in the middle of the game

 

[toto1939]

A whole series of errors:
1) calling timeout when ref had given us a gift placement
2) 2 plays to run and pick up the yard and get a first down even without the gift (when you have all 3 timeouts)
2) opting for a 45/50 yard field goal in these conditions instead of going for it (gave Packers on extra 10 yards and missed opportunity to really put it to the Packers)
3) refs calling a completion of a pass where replay clearly shows that ball hit the ground as part of the 'catch'

 

[TellerMorrow34]

6 point swing because Garrett still has no situational awareness. That's as badly a coached and executed final minute of a half as I've seen.

 

[cowboys69fan]

Darn we so needed those 3pts!, Ugh! It scares me , but the boys are doing good with Time of possession, they need to repeat the second half,,,

 

[irishline]

Tony checked out of the original call

We were lined up in shotgun even if he killed whatever play it was. There is no reason for that at all.

 

[bayeslife]

The audible and botched snap was ridiculous. The snap is why people rag on Romo. At least we have the lead and can regroup.

Exactly. That wasn't even a bad playcall. If Romo gets the snap cleanly I'm confident he can throw the first down.

 

[DOUBLE WING]

Hey, here's an idea: let's appreciate being up by 4 on the road in a divisional playoff match against a very good team instead of complaining about the team, the coach, or the referees.

On paper it's nice, but when you know you should be up by 10-14 it's not so great. It's also not so great when you realize GB now has momentum/confidence and gets the ball after halftime.

We had it inside their 30 with 40 seconds left. GB SHOULD NOT have touched the ball again until the third quarter. Not only did they, but they scored points. That's an epic fail.

 

[pancakeman]

Oh well. I'll take 14-10 Dallas in the first half

AND Rodgers looks very off
AND the Packers defense is worn down

We're in good shape.

 

[lostar2009]

I'm just mad that Romo changed the call. 3rd and 1 man. Run it all day.

We was getting at least 3 yards a pop. I look at the formation and I was like WHAT ! Why go against what is working.

 

[Staubacher]

Tony checked out of the original call

What was the original call they were in shotgun

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Idiot play call on 3rd and 1 run the damn ball

 

[mahoneybill]

Our kicking game keeping Pack alive

 

[big dog cowboy]

Give #29 the ball on 3rd and 1 and this half ends much differently.

 

[romothesavior]

You don't know that they were in shotgun

THANK YOU!

I would have liked a run, but a play action out of an I-Form or Singleback would have been defensible. A pass out of shotgun? That's just idiotic.
