Christmas Day Game Thread

No Nelson or Leonard.

That's like facing the Cowboys without Martin or Micah.

 

[IceBowler]

The officials missed a PI call at the end, but did they see it and just say "Oh well.", or did they simply not see it because they weren't at an angle with a view of the jersey tug?

In all honesty, do you believe Anthony Brown wouldn't have had it called on him in that situation?

 

[gmb1]

Go Cards?

 

[shabazz]

After watching this, I actually don't mind going to GB. We got this

Be careful of wanting that. Once again coincidentally of course, the Packers get 3 whole penalties for 29 yards......if the Cowboys play there count on a dozen penalties against them.

Oh, it will happen......again and again

No built-in excuses for the great one.

Ya'll not only have us already losing a game we might not even play, but already have excuses for that loss lined up.

Loser mentalities everywhere.

Agree - honestly their defense makes me feel we can beat them in Arlington or at Lambeau. Green Bay doesn't scare me at all at this point. Rodgers doesn't scare me as much as he used to at all.

I understand the concern though about the officiating - it sure looked like they were helping Green Bay today. Missed face mask deep in Packer territory puts Cleveland on first and long. then on third and long interception. in the first half.
Then blatant defensive holding o the final pick that saved the game. Wanna bet they wouldn't have called that on us on Thanksgiving?

No NY team, the LA Rams fading, Tampa slipping, what better than the "Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field" to sell in the Playoffs? Think of the whole "Ice Bowl" iconography being pulled out again, even if it's not Dallas in the Championship Game? Look at that no-call in New Orleans that got LA in the Super Bowl a couple of years ago. These things don't happen in a vacuum or the NFl is happy to accept incompetent and incostsent officiating no matter how bad ist makes the League look.

We'll never know because the league does not make the refs available for comment. And they do that for a very specific reason.

Would you or anyone else believe them if they said something that conflicted with your point of view?...That's probably one reason they don't make refs available for comment. Another reason is probably that the league would prefer to ask the questions and relay the answers if they feel it's warranted.

 

[LovinItAll]

How do you know GB's fan base isn't doing just that?

I don’t, they may be doing exactly the same thing.

I know that Mayfield is terrible, and abandoning the run after their last first down was insanity. They can gripe about the last DPI that led to the int, but he shouldn’t have been in that position to begin with.

 

[JustChip]

I think the later. Same with the missed facemask on Baker earlier in the game on his 2nd INT. It’s not realistic to think the refs will see everything, which is why everything should be open to review or challenge. Games just shouldn’t be decided by the refs.

 

[Runwildboys]

In all honesty, do you believe Anthony Brown wouldn't have had it called on him in that situation?

Oh, he probably would, but then, his history could have them watching him more closely.

Much harder for the refs to get all their lies straight if they are being asked questions.

Browns coach should be fired for not running the ball and Chubb should come to the Cowboys.

That's my takeaways.

 

[America's Cowboy]

No I am not

Not you, GPappy.

 

[Rockport]

I'm not rather face the Cards than the Rams early in the playoffs.

 

[IceStar-D7]

These games will show 4 things. You better come in with a strong Oline- A running attack- and a defense moving forward. And finally you better have a quarterback that doesn't turn the ball over.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

The OU was 46.5

 

[Zman5]

Jeez. That’s sad.

I actually think we can beat GB if the refs call a consistent game. Even in GB.

 

[IceBowler]

Lest anyone forget, these are the very same Packers that supposedly went 14 full quarters of football without being called for offensive holding .. 3 seasons ago, I believe. Do any of you true believers think that is even remotely possible?

 

[coult44]

Browns coach should be fired for not running the ball and Chubb should come to the Cowboys.

That's my takeaways.

As soon as Chubb had a 50 yard day you’d be ready to say he was trash

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

Are you assuming the rookie kicker, in his first game, would be money? Don't get me wrong, I agree they shouldn't have put the game in Mayfield's hands, but a FG was far from a given.

Mayfield had not practiced in a week and looked like trash , meanwhile the run game was on fire .
