Fortunately wife unit makes up for her lack of judgement in NFL teams.I would have asked for a divorce immediately after the game.

Still pixxes me off watching it ........
If Dez focused on completing the catch instead of going for the glory of a score, the refs would not have had a chance to screw it up.I sat speechless for a long time after that play. I was livid.
Worst Cowboys turnover in the playoffs in 20 years.if Demarco Murray doesn't fumble the ****** ball..
if Clay Matthews gets called for roughing Romo..
if the defense could make one flipping stop..
Dez needed to secure the ball with BOTH HANDS instead of trying to break his fall with the right hand and hold the ball with just his left hand . I seem to remember another play he tried to break his fall and his pinky was out of the end zoneTo this day I just wish my boy Dez didn’t try and “reach” after the catch. He had it, and it was going to be 1st and goal anyhow.
But boy did we get robbed on that one, regardless.
Possibly. But what is rarely talked about is the fact that had we scored, Aaron Rodgers still had almost 5 minutes to return the favor.
And Drew Pearson getting tackled from behind by a fingertip.Right much like the “ Catch” in 1981 most don’t talk about Danny Whites fumble in the ensuing possession about midfield with almost 50 seconds left which could have easily set up the winning field goal.
Sometimes destiny has a way of finding itself.

We gave up 9 third down completions in that game and almost as many as 2016 playoff game against the Packers. We simply could not get off the field.
It's the reason there is hope for the future. We really had no shot back then, now, even if we are struggling on offense, we can stay in games and give our offense a chance.
Still - we've had some bad losses in our history but this was awful because we had a playoff run taken away from us and denied Romo and Dez a chance for a Championship game and Super Bowl.
I still don't know why we went for it all on that one play. It's not like it was 4th and very long or there was very little time left. We had a very poor defense and they could not get off the field in the 2nd half. Find someone under neath and keep the drive going. I think Cole had a route that would have gotten a 1st down. Even had we scored, I had no doubt Rodgers would lead them down for a score to win the game with that amount of time left. There were several instances in that game the defense could have gotten off the field and changed the game but they never did. Rodgers was playing on one leg, too. Hell, they gave up about three 3rd downs after that play.
This is not the play I even key on for this game. Up 21-13, we kickoff to GB. They fumble and one of our guys has a very easy recovery. All he has to do is fall on it. Yet he bounces and misses the ball and GB retains possession. Had we gotten the ball there, the score is a minimum of 24-13 had we not even gained another yard. But how we were moving the ball, could have easily been 28-13.
We also gave up a very long 3rd down conversion that they scored on. And let's not forget how we completely botched the end of the 1st half. We had a great opportunity to score a TD, yet we ended up settling for a long FG attempt, missed it and then allow GB to get a FG. That changed everything. The Murray fumble where he had a clear path to the endzone.
This Dez play is the last thing I think about.
I think this was the start of me seriously questioning my fandom of the NFL.Angriest I ever was and still am over a call
