Agree.

It was not a great game by the defense but they didn't get blown up each time the Packers got the ball like many people are claiming.

Where was our offense at 31-3, and where was it in NO?
Exactly!!!!!

The Cowboys' D got destroyed. The Packers got up 31-3 and lost their intensity. Happens all the time. Our D got dominated. Hasn't been sharp all year, and it got worse Sunday.

This is a .500 team.

I do agree, the players no longer buy into this Garrett led team therefore probably a .500 squad. And to qualify with evidence, watch their demeanors when they're struggling on the field.

And watch Garrett’s demeanor. Doesn’t exactly instill confidence.

Just to be clear, the 563 yards were yards gained by the Cowboys Offense.

The Packers had 335 yards on Offense.
Thanks for clearing that up brother. But we damn sure dominated that game although the score says otherwise

We gave up points when they needed to score. At 31-3, they weren't exactly pulling out there entire playbook. So many on here keep touting this D, but they won't stop any good offense when it matters. And yes, our offense has major issues too. It's not an either/or proposition. This is an 8-8 team, +/- 2 wins depending on positive or negative breaks. So basically like most other average teams

We are a run first offense not a pass first offense..This is what happens when you go three and out for the first three quarters. GB controlled time of possesion for 36 minutes No excuse for them allowing 4 td's to a scrub rb but they were clearly gassed on defense. Since I've been watching the Cowboys since the 1970's we have never been a west coast offense and Dak isn't Dan Fouts or Dan Marino..He is a great QB but needs the rb established to get anything going..

It's NEVER that simple. When the Cowboys offense struggles and loses momentum, that momentum loss carrys over to the defense by making them play more.
When the Cowboys have momentum on offense, that carrys over as well.

Yeah but we were down 31-3 at home as 4 point favorites on National TV. That's a coaching problem

Again, watching the game, the Cowboys were not struggling to move the ball either. Some bad penalties and INTs, including a 39 yard PI helped the Packers score point or stop Cowboys drives.

Most of the mistakes they made last week are correctable. If they don't correct them, Sun Tzu says fire the generals.
