Can Anyone Argue

That we would have won without that phantom Butler/huddle call? I've watched at least 1000 NFL games and never heard of it

Me neither.

Not sure that was the one that decided the game. I think the Packers LB tackling Witten after he was beaten without a flag was a major one. The one that looked like the phantom facemask on Mo was also a major one. The one you're talking about is more of a *** moment, because experienced NFL beat writers went what the heck was that call?

Saw someone say it hadn't been called since the 80s.

It was total BS. I knew at that point that the mob was in control. Always have been, always will.

I can't say we would have won but that call certainly hurt. Never seen it before. Ever.

Overall more blame goes on the defense.

To be fair, Mo got away with a number of blatant holds. I thought it was a relatively fairly officiated game.

 

[strollinruss]

The week off is to blame.

It could be because players usually know if they are in the play or not.

for some reason Tv seemed to sure highlight our cb play..............lets see some All-22, some game tape showing and proving to me their cb's were saints on avoiding any physical play after 5 yards....odds are very great, its no diff---

Well, I remember one play where Mo held Adams so badly that his shoulder pads popped out his jersey, and that didn't get called.

there is no excuse....i mean no excuse for the way this team played...

As I was taken my daughter to dinner I was listening to ESPN and they were talking to a beat writer from Green Bay. The ESPN person said if I told you that Prescott threw for over 300 yds with 3 tds, Bryant had over 100 yds receiving with 2 tds, and Elliot had over 125 yds and the Cowboys lost, you would thought I was lying. Packer beat writer responded by saying that he was in disbelief as many Cowboy fans probably are right now. This one hurts but we must move on.

That BS call was huge.

and you still watch, lol

do not let this pathetic performance go by with a free pass.

It seems like they played just like they talked during the week. "We will treat this like any other game" (paraphrasing). I can't tell you how much that concerned me. Well, they played like it in the beginning. Where the hell did this mentality come from in the first place?

 

[strollinruss]

I know, maybe one day the Dallas bosses will have a say.

 

[RS12]

Game was realistically lost at 21-3. Took too many possessions to figure out how to get to Rodgers IMO.

That's because no other team has been stupid enough to do it before.

"Why is it unsportsmanlike conduct for an NFL player to enter a huddle and then leave the field? The league doesn't want teams to try to deceive defenses by using fake substitution patterns. If you send in a player that you're going to eventually pull off the field, the defense might be left with the personnel it wanted to go against that particular player. The league doesn't consider that strategy to be within the spirit of the game. The Cowboys were more likely confused than they were trying to deceive, but that is the rule."
