Right after the GB game, we went on the road to Detroit and looked pretty bad. Ended up winning at the every end, though. But I believe the next week was the Philly game you mentioned. Offense was dreadful. We didn't fall apart completely because we were winning games but you could see a drop off in our offense quality.
I predicted all week the Cowboys would go one and done against the Giants….BINGO! Only the fans wearing blinders couldn’t see it coming. That was the best chance the Cowboys had of reaching the Super Bowl since the 90s. That was a great team for the first 11 weeks of the season until the sputtered out. Romo‘s game completely went into the toilet during Dec/Jan. Possibly the most disappointing team in franchise history.
Man history is repeating itselfAfter the Cowboys began the 07 season 10-0 beating the 10-0 Packers in a game where Aaron Rodgers took over for an injured Brett Favre and almost brought the Packers back, the Cowboys became complacent. They almost lost to a 2 win Detroit team the following week. The very next week they got beat by Philly and were never the same team again. They barely beat an average Carolina team led by Matt Moore, and looked horrible against Washington in the season finale losing 27-6. That was the worst game they played all season, very similar to the game we saw last week against Washington. The team was limping badly into the playoffs and Romo decided to go to Cabo with Jessica Simpson, along with Jason Witten, a week before a playoff game.
I mean the present doesn't make us any happier...
They did lose to NE earlier in the year so they were 10-1 heading into that game. Believe GB was the same record. Rodgers came in and almost won that game for them.After the Cowboys began the 07 season 10-0 beating the 10-0 Packers in a game where Aaron Rodgers took over for an injured Brett Favre and almost brought the Packers back, the Cowboys became complacent.

it was hardly an "almost" won, we were way up and never trailed after it was 3-0 for them, he got them to within 3 but that was it
Pretty close! This team never looked as good as that team but our decline is similar. The loss to Washington in the season finale in 2007 which was also on the road was very reminiscent of what we saw last week in Washington. You couldn’t stink any worse entering the playoffs than the 07 team and this team.
Big mouth as well!
Fasano too
Speak for yourself, I'm very happy. I'm actually pumped for this game. Any team can lose to anyone, it's not only a Cowboys thing.
I went on a Giants fan forum at the time and thanked them for saving football for the rest of us by preventing that 19-0.
Made for a very long drive back to NE Oklahoma.
Getting to within 3 isn't an 'almost win"? Lol what? He brought them all the way back and we needed a 50yd PI to get down the field to put the game away. Defense was pathetic in the 2nd half of that game.
I mean that is pro sports in general. Yes, any team can beat anyone on a given day (more so in the regular season). Come playoff time in the NFL, the playoffs is hardly a random lottery. The better teams win majority of the time. Go look at the Super Bowl winners. They aren't random at all.
