Game Day Cowboys vs Packers post game thread

[PA Cowboy Fan]

We rested him the last six quarters of the season for what? It's like he's an afterthought to our coaching staff. I hope we figure out how to properly use Zeke over the offseason.

Must have been saving him for the pro bowl.

The past few playoff losses have been entirely on the defense

This does not fit the NFL narrative of having a Brady Rodgers Superbowl

I dunno, this gets pretty conspiracy-theory-ish. Wouldn't the NFL love to have a Brady vs. Dak storyline?

 

[tyke1doe]

I'm sure he was being sincere, but I don't really want to hear him say anything about our players or our team.

I need conspiracy theories to dull the pain.

I have never cried after a game before and I actually shed tears after this loss. Man this season felt special. To be one and done after the kind of year we have is beyond dissappointing. I think this hurts even more than 07.

According to ESPN Stats and Info, Crosby entered Sunday’s game 0-for-4 on potential game-tying or go-ahead field goals from 50-plus yards in the fourth quarter or overtime.

I will say this, the Cowboys know how to take away the best RB in the league, to bad it was their own. What a crock by linehan. What is it witih this team, GB and getting away from what works.

Bingo. We still don't know how to use him. 3rd and 2 a few times and we didn't use him.

Side note: Too many empty sets with no back. Could have thrown McFadden back there for looks even if they were intent on throwing it.

This team was fading. Lost three of its last five. Throw out the Eagles game and they were still only .500 over their last four games.

That 56 yard knuckleballer he kicked was the real killer. If had missed that, Cowboys have the ball at the 46, driving for a game winning FG.

We are Steve young

Rodgers is us

yeah way too many throws on second and third and short, that's what we do pick up first downs and T.O.P you to death

Linehan has done it consistantly all year and JG did nothing to stop it.

linehan and he are qbs, must be hard to get that out of you as a playcaller

Throw out the Eagles game and we were 3-1 over the last 4 games. If we had "played" against Philly, it would've been 4-1 over the last five. The Cowboys weren't fading. They just turned it down once HFA was secured, which may have been a no-no.

That was a killer. Game ender in our favor had it missed. This team is snake bit though. We may never get another break in a big game.

Not so much:

@ NYG - L
vs. TB -- W
vs. DET -- W
vs. GB -- L

Well, adios Tony. The toughest thought for me right now is knowing how little pay off they got from his career, and that he has almost certainly played his last game here, possibly anywhere.

The defense stunk in 2006...and in 2016 it's still in the crapper.

Can they build from this? Of course. But that's been true the whole time, and they've yet to field a true championship defense.

Ultimately, these winter playoff games are won or lost when it's warm outside.
