It seems fitting that the Cowboys penalties were their undoing in overtime. That holding call was ticky tack.
1. Rodgers took advantage of Bland and Joseph as we should have expected. That's what he does. 2. The pass rush disappeared in the second half. They never really hit Rodgers much in the 4th qtr or overtime.
The defense needs to step up in games like this to prove they are an elite defense. But again, they gave up way too many rushing yards. For life of me, try something different. Activate Cox and let him play. See if anything improves.
I don't really have an issue with McCarthy going for it in overtime. I figured if Rodgers got the ball back he would have gotten the TD too. Try to win the game without allowing Rodgers a chance to beat them. I would have had a quick pass of some kind instead of having Dak sit in the pocket. Dak needs to sense the pressure and move sooner. Maybe they should roll the pocket a little for him.
Looking at this team now, I think they will lose next week in Minnesota. The Vikings have good receivers. Bland and Joseph are going to get abused. The one thing about Joseph is he can stay with receivers, but he doesn't look for the ball. His inexperience shows. Rodgers clearly targeted the two backups.
