They had one job at rhe end and they failed miserably, now they are looking for excuses!! Give me a break Tank!!lol .Let's face it the Cowboys defense couldn't get off the field on 3rd down, package that deal with our horrible secondary play that doesn't know how to turn their heads and look for the football. I won't even get into the special teams
They actually did come up with a big play, that turned out to be a fumble, which very well could have decided the outcome of the game. So yes the defense should have been better on 3rd down, but at the same time you can't blame them when they actually did make a huge potential game changing play and the Refs took it away, while the NFL had the ability to check the play and didn't. When players work hard and practice hard and succeed at making big game changing plays, just for the Refs to intervene, they one can't really blame them for being frustrated.
It gets to the point where Cowboys fans have to hold our breaths after every big play the team makes, worrying about whether or not it will be called back with a flag. Which takes the enjoyment and fun out of watching Cowboys games. Some of it is the OL and others players needing to clean up on their penalties. But not every flag that has negated a Cowboys big play has been the correct call or has been a questionable one. Refs should be held accountable and players should have the right to call them out for their horrible officiating and incompetence.
With that being said, this team has a chance to shut up all of their doubters and critics in two weeks. If they can't come out playing motivated and prepared, with a win and if they can't advance past the first round of the playoffs, they deserve the criticism that they'll receive.
