This team is not good enough to play poorly and win, period.
When you're on the road and play the opposition to essentially a stalemate for 3qtrs. and blow numerous opportunities to establish some rhythm offensively with drops and turnovers you're asking to lose and that's what happened today.
I do credit the defensive performance however, Green Bay was EGREGIOUSLY holding almost EVERY passing down regardless of the amount of flags thrown by the officials.
The officials also cost the Cowboys at least 14 points on their own... the Jenkins hands to the face call remains a complete mystery (someone needs to lose their job for that IMO) and Felix had the recovery on the Romo sack/fumble play... how that's not reviewable is a joke as Felix sat up with the football in his possession. At full speed I can see how it would be a little tricky to identify a clean recovery but come on...
The Witten pick play for offensive PI was totally bogus as well to be truthful.
I was screaming for a penalty after McCarthy threw his third challenge flag he didn't have... It's a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct call by rule. How can something like that be missed?
Still- we had our chances and we didn't do anything with any of them including the nice late drive which ended with Romo's int at the goalline.
Williams, Scandrick, Newman, Gurode, and RHG really came up very small. The Folk whiff was big also. You gotta get points out of drives to open games whenever the opportunity arises. Can't tell you how deflating missed makeable FG's are when they are opening drives.
Witten and Flozell were poor today- Romo was ok... I do feel he played well enough to win had things not shaken out the way they did... I felt like the few times he was close to "getting it going" the offense hit another wall with a turnover, drop, sack, penalty or bogus call. Romo missed a few big plays also to Austin early (happens to all QB's) and Bennett late (big miss, but then again he was getting hammered for three quarters prior to having time to make that throw).
Just not good enough today, but we there is a lot of football to be played and we need to go back to Dallas and get healthy in front of our home crowd and get a win and we will be ok.
The loss of Columbo is huge however. I hope his injury isn't career threatening, he's been great. It's time for Doug Free to grow up in a hurry.
