And he is right. No names were called out specifically on the segment. BUT, diggs and browns names were thrown around a lot for not doing their “job”. Also Joseph got some praise because he made his way up through the ST unit. Therefore he had learned the necessary tackling skills to be a dog. I think there is something to be said about some of our players making business decisions costing games.

Sad man. We're right back to square one after losing to SF in the playoffs when everyone questioned the heart and toughness of the team.

I think it comes down to you want to give dak that shot. McCarthy obviously was okay with throwing it that much…. The first int to Shultz it’s like okay. Maybe let’s not do that again. Then boom! Again. I get it we all want to have an Allen, Mahomes or Rodgers…. But you don’t got that. Play to the strengths. Unless Dak himself is killing plays then it’s on him.

Right. He could be killing the plays out there. We haven't heard that, and I honestly didn't see that myself this time. But I could be wrong on that detail, since I haven't gone back and looked at the tape. It hurts too much. But if it was Dak, that is still on McCarthy for going against the winning game plan formula.

Maybe the Cowboys don't want to come in and be predictable running the ball 30 times a game, but they should stick with their game plan and maybe even run it more when you're away and playing Aaron Rodgers, who only threw it 20 times to Dak's 46.

That was one of the few times I was actually embarrassed as a fan. Disappointed many times for sure but rarely embarrassed like that.

I was in a different state, one that doesn't really care for Texans, and I ducked out with about 7 minutes left in the 4th because I saw it coming. lol

We drove down the street to our place and watched the rest of the game as things fell apart.

Crazy how the defense just fell apart. But the Cowboys got set up, for not working on enough things during the off week, apparently.

If we're a great pass defense, we have to get better against the run. Otherwise, teams will just run it all game, wear down your pass defense, and then split your coverage with a scheme designed to exploit what you're doing.

And that's what Green Bay did.

As much as the Parsons effect has been great for motivating different players, I don't think it had the intended impact for this game.

In fact, I think we suffered some unintended consequences from the Parsons' effect.

The Cowboys were playing against a team that had suffered losses to their pride in the worst way possible and were committed to doing whatever had to be done to win. The Cowboys entered into that game like a team that felt they just had to be there to win. They were ill-prepared for what happened. o_O

D law got a lot of praise for how he plays the run

He's the one guy in the front 7 that's decent to above average against the run, and he always grades out well (year over year) at it.

The rest of them, not so much. Nobody wants to say it but that includes Parsons, especially when he lines up at DE.

I’m not a big Joseph fan and still not convinced that he can play, but I have noticed when he plays CB that he’s not afraid to put his nose in there and try and tackle somebody. Even though they didn’t recover the fumble, his forced fumble was a total hustle play and was impressive.

First cold weather game as well. Won’t see another cold weather game until we play Washington in the final game.

Brown got knocked out...what you want him to do? the real question is why is he playing press with no safety over the top? WTH call was that? Rodgers saw that and said i got this and nailed it.
