Game Day ***Cowboys vs Packers post game thread***

[NeonNinja]

Tell me then, when we were up by 7, and he audibled, followed by a fumbled snap, was our demise. We should have been going in 21 to 7. But that stupid play put us at 10-14.

Then, coming down the stretch, he has plenty of time to throw the ball, what does he do? He takes 2 sacks back to back. Forget defense, it's time to draft a QB first round. I'm ready for this nonsense to end.

Keep trying, you may get it right, eventually.

We got robbed on that. no doubt about it. It's even worse because we got the benefit last year. How biased is the officiating if they're blatantly trying to make up for last week's mistakes? Disgusting

 

[yesfan]

Not putting pressure on Rodgers was a big mistake. That said, we could have won this game and we should be proud they gave them a good game. I'll never agree that Dez did not catch that ball.

 

[DragonCowboy]

Romo wasn't very good today in the 2nd half

Dude had 4 in completions including the Dez play. He took some sacks, but cmon. The level of ridiculousness in this thread is appalling

 

[manster4ever]

OT on Fox thinks we got hosed.

That's a given....no doubt about it. But would our D have been good enough to stop Rogers even if we DO get the TD there? Probably not. If it was good enough what about next week? Seattle will straight up ROLL the Pack next week by 20+. Not much different if we would've played them frankly.

Three plays
Not running on third and one
Murray's fumble
Bailey missed fg
That did this team in.

Don't forget about Hanna not recovering the fumble on the KR. Would've been up 8 with the ball at the 20.

An idiotic explanation

Any officiating explanation that has to tell you that what is obvious to you isn't obvious is either an idiotic explanation of the rule, or you have a rule that needs to be changed.

This sucks, but the LAST think I will do is give the freaking haters out there the pleasure they have all been waiting for. In other words, I will not blame the refs. I have to admit, they (the haters couldn't have asked for a better script). It is what it is. Green Bay won and advance. We lost and will go home, period, no excuses.

Now, I am very encouraged by what I saw out of my Cowboys this year. Yes sir, I am a proud fan and happy to say our future looks bright.

This, they went a lot further than any one thought no matter what they say now.

I love you Dallas Cowboys! Great season gentlemen! Get some pass rush in the draft. See you next year zoners. Have a great offseason......

I second this post. We fought to the end. Thank you Cowboys for a great season!

 

[Doomsay]

No DOUBT....and people would expect what from him next week against Seattle? Would have been a disaster. He's worn out....mentally and physically.

Can't see him making it through another season - this was such a terrible loss, because I thought that it was our best chance at a SB for a long time.

So we probably don't get a touchdown at the 1 yard line with 4 downs?

 

[rcaldw]

The tipped pass completion at the very end kind of tells you it wasn't our day. That was flat out luck.

 

[Idgit]

They have to cover their butts.

I guess. But it's an insult to our intelligence. The look on Howie's face was priceless, at least.

Rodgers in his post game comments could hardly keep a straight face about why that was the right call, too. It'd be funny, if it weren't a gut punch.

Ok. I'm going to stop complaining about the reversal now. Except maybe in threads explicitly about the rule in that situation. But no more whining about it.

There is nothing I can say that will change your mind

Good season not gonna complain when we win the east and a playoff game, i had us winning 5. Get a NFL quality DL in the offseason and make another run at it next year

 

[Gaede]

I feel so sorry for our team who competed so hard this year and deserved way more than that crap ending.

 

[Miller]

N

E) refs allowed GB o-line to go beyond the call for Rodgers all game and HOLD at will without throwing single flag.

We can't blame refs. The whole game was full of stuff and we didn't take advantage. We should have blitzed to rectify it.

 

[manster4ever]

Proud of the players, almost overcame some terrible coaching today.

There were some clownish moments again when it counted most. This off season will be absolutely off the HOOK. Dez, Murray and a cast of dozens are free agents....as is Red. Wow. Could win 4 next year or 14 depending on how lucid JJ is going into the off season.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

I'm not sure I would go that far but the opportunities are dwindling and this may be as close as he ever gets.

Realistically, the Cowboys are near QB drafting time.

 

[Alohawg1]

Romo played good enough to win but he had a very bad stretch in the 4th qtr. with back to back sacks etc... .
