Yep, big difference. We actually scored.

True dat!

Missed FG and redzone fumble saw to that

i have order envy but I'm throwin some ribeyes on the grill in a few

So, how were the ribeyes?

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

And how many times did we even sniff success? We had a few good seasons and went out quickly in the playoffs. We shouldn't even have beat the Lions in Romo's only career playoff win.

Point taken, but our situation now is a lot different then our situation under Romo.

sky sports reporter said cowboys players looked relaxed prior to the game last week compared to the falcons players who were on edge. reporter credited the falcons HC for creating that atmosphere within the clubhouse culture.

So if Atlanta fans come here to Houston, I guess there will be a big time run on chicken and beer. I'd better stock up now.

It's not like Rodgers is playing the 85 bears defense.

 

[DFWJC]

Lost in all of this is how bad our defense is.

We could not stop Rodgers if our lives depended on it.

Atlanta shuts them out.

That I would hope is a serious takeaway about how bad our D talent is, but also how bad our coaching is.

Pass rush

I've always disliked the Packers. This is a fun game to watch so far.

 

[beacamdim]

And their SB was last week...

You are dreaming if you think that GB saw the NFCCG as a letdown.

Then again, given the past two decades, I can see how a Dallas fan might be confused into thinking that winning the divisional round is your Super Bowl lol.

If this was Dallas vs Atlanta as it should have been.... we would be in the game...

24-21 or so

um, ya, definitely not.

It'd probably be 50-3 since no combination of any 3+ of our secondary could stop julio.

if last week was pulled out, I expected a huge trouncing this week.

Packers were never as good as their run indicated. They played a lot of lousy offenses and benefited by Rogers amazing play, and help from the Refs. There D is atrocious.

And that run included our lousy D as well.

 

[Doomsday]

The Falcons came out on defense unafraid to give up a big play.

They were prepared for a shoot out but weren't going to sit back and let Rodgers pick them apart.

 

[DFWJC]

So if Atlanta fans come here to Houston, I guess there will be a big time run on chicken and beer. I'd better stock up now.

 

[ShortRound]

I don't feel good about any other team winning except the Cowboys I hope they all lose lol

Sorry for being such a negative nancy today but I don't want to see us fans get too complacent. We had a 26 year old Romo who led us to the playoffs and made the Pro Bowl his first year as a starter (similar to Dak). We all know how that story played out. I don't think it's a given that we're gonna duplicate this 13-3 season year after year if at all. Our problems seem to be systemic. We're gonna waste Dak's career like we did Romo's unless we take a long look in the mirror. There's a lot that separates us from these teams.

Well, the next step in coaching 101 is the surviving in the playoffs. In all reality we should have lost the Detroit game in 2014 which puts JG at 0-3. That's why I was envious of Denver as Elway said he wasn't happy with the playoffs with Fox, he wanted championships and canned him.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

If Romo was playing, we'd be winning...

Right, and for how long?

And you think this Cowboys team WITH Tony Romo would even be in the game today?

Lol

I'm looking at the score board and how GB is playing.

 

[Zordon]

Ima keep it 100 bro, before the game I said we shouldn't jump off sides or have 12 men on the field and we did both in the first quarter. Kinda told me what I already knew back in 2012 about Garrett.

You're right, that was a telling sign.

 

[Don Corleone]

Joe and Troy look deeply concerned.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I don't feel good about any other team winning except the Cowboys I hope they all lose lol

I can't be like that or I would have been miserable for the last 21 years. lol
