Did any of the journalists ask Fassell how he feels knowing his decision is one of the main reasons the team lost?

He missed what would have won the game. In these close games he has to hit these.

No excuse for the misses by Zuerlein but I give him some kudos for hitting the pressure kick to take the lead from 48 out. Right down the middle. Clearly Zuerlein needs to be much better than he was Thursday

BS. You could see it and the on-field reporter even commented on how Greg looked shook.
The coaches' preferential treatment of "their guys" bit them.

Leave Bones alone, he is a Doctor and not a special teams Coach

He is good enough that a kicker that had went 10/10 during the previous season was cut to make room for him to become the new kicker. When a kicker is so good that perfection can not compete with him, you know that he is on a higher level of awesomeness than the other kickers in the league. Fassel came to Dallas and brought his guys with him. There was not a competition for the positions.

That is the reason kickers get cut in this league....inconsistency and not trusting them if they can hit a 25 yarder or even extra point. Sure they will make some long ones once in a while, but once the trust and confidence in a kicker is gone....so should he. They should have kept the Canadian kicker on the team at least. But Fassel wanted HIS guy. NFL games are usually close, he will cost them more headaches.

I'm not really disturbed, at least not too much, that the Cowboys are lying through their teeth about something like this. I'm gotten used to it.
The troublesome part is that I think they believe the B.S. that they're spewing.

Fassel sure had a lot of clout with MM and Jerry for them to allow all of his guys to come to Dallas without question. The Fassel approach to special teams has been an epic failure. I think most of us fans had higher expectations for the special teams considering the wholesale changes that was made.

Zuerlein's misses were not why they lost.
They lost because the lines of TB outplayed them and dictated the game. If he makes those kicks, TB just scores more in order to win the game.
If that had lost by 2 at the end of the game and that miss was the last play, OK, that's on him. But the OL and DL of Dallas played a very mediocre game and are lucky to have only lost by 2 points.
