This should be sticky'd on top of the Fan Forum because tonight just wasn't our night. You just can't blame any single play, player, decision call/non-call for the reason we lost. Wasn't our time. I'm sitting better with this playoff loss than I was in the past. We have some young talent to work with and a different attitude about the team.
Sounds like loser talk to me. Jason Garrett mismanaged the game, Period.

I've been watching the NFL since 1981 and I just can't believe how good/accurate these kickers have becomes in the last 10-15 years.

There was a time when a 50 yarder was a complete rarity.

The way those balls waffled around it seems like he just got lucky both times.

Here is something to chew on about Crosby. I was reading a Fox sports article on Crosby field goals and it said he was 0-4 for fgs that were either game winning or game tying for kicks that were 50 yds or more. And he made two against us back to back. I believe the Cowboys are snake bitten.

Three if you count the timeout.

His first FG was 56 yards. He barely made it. The one at the end of the game was 50.

He kicked 3 of them in less than 3 minutes (one of them didn't count obviously). Incredible odds against that.

Incredible odds against Romo fumbling a FG snap at Seattle.

Incredible odds against Crayton hesitating on what should have been a game-winning TD reception against the Giants.

Incredible odds against Dez's 4th down reception being overturned by replay thanks to misapplication of a weird rule.

Incredible odds against an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for a huddle violation wiping out a red zone first down.

Incredible odds against completing a pass on the sideline by a couple of inches on 3rd and 20 with 3 seconds left.

I never had a doubt Crosby would make those field goals. That's how it's been for the Cowboys this century. :(
