It didn't help that in that game (and the next playoff game against them), the packers offensive line were allowed to hold all game with impunity to protect Rogers.
Yes they were. Our Dline was wearing their Oline like a wet shirt.

Great defense. GB has two 80 yard drives for TDs in the third quarter.

The saddest thing about the Dez"no catch" is he could've secured that ball for a certain catch instead of shifting the ball to the other hand to stretch for the end zone

I always think the same thing.

Granted, the way it played out I do think it was a catch, but Dez could’ve eliminated any doubt by just securing it and getting tackled short of the goal line with a 1st down.

I understand why he did what he did, but I do wish he would’ve just secured it VERY deliberately and gotten the 1st.

And honestly, even if the catch were upheld, we've left too much time. It's almost better if he just goes down and we make them burn timeouts while we pound it into the endzone.

Yes the offense was performing well, defense lacked a lot. They performed well at times only because they were well rested most of the time. From the ball control offense Dallas had.
But against an elite offense and / or QB they did not do as well. Also I believe that year they did not face a lot of strong QB's or played against back ups.

There were other opportunities to win that game, as Murray's fumble hurt a lot as well. The D could not stop a hobbled Rodgers.
Also Romo got sacked to much in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Combination of Romo not able to find anyone open and OL breaking down. Defense faltered badly, but so did the offense. The defense faltered without a lot of talent going up against Aaron Rogers, while the Offense with a ton of talent faltered vs a defense they should have been able to put up 30 plus points on.
