We should have won this game by 20+...

The Pack really has talent but they shouldn't have hung around as long as they did...

But, these things happen. A few things go GB's way and they could say the same thing.

Deion Sanders reiterated the same point. We should have been able to put Green Bay away much earlier. However, a win is a win and that's all that really matters. I will take it any way we can get it.

It was the most lopsided 10 point win I've seen in a long time.

A few poor/sloppy plays kept the Pack within shouting distance.

But all in all, I'm not skeered of facing the Pack in the playoffs.

You can blame the DC for getting lax when Rogers came in....that was a pretty pathetic defensive scheme on a backup who hasn't played in like 3 years.

we still have a couple of issues on Defense that need to be address.

Agreed but we must realize that this was another physical and also mental hurdle that we've passed. The type of game that we repeatedly laid eggs in under Parcells. I was disappointed at times but I think we just learned more and grew more confidence.

3rd down defensive penalties allowed all 3 first half scoring drives to continue for the Pack.........if we don't commit those boneheaded penalties, then they have to punt each time.

Honestly, we are the most undisciplined (as far as penalties go) 11-1 team I have ever seen. This is why I say, NO TEAM CAN BEAT US, IF WE AREN'T BEATING OURSELVES....that includes the Pats. that is how I honestly feel.

A more reliable running game to wear opponents down and give our D a rest might help.

I think if TO catches that TD pass instead of being generous to harris, the game would have been a blowout...........

That play gave the Pack momentum and confidence.

yeah that hurt us...but I thought when we went for it on 4th and short to start the 2nd half, them stopping us really gave them hope more than anything else...we convert that and score and we might pull away...instead they called a bad play, got stuffed and then kinda bumbled around

We just beat the NFCs 2nd best and we are talking a "but."

Unreal.

We are 11-1 and just beat the pack by 10.

Sick.

I love the win.
I love the fact that (IMO) Dallas didn't look completely sharp at times and still put up 37 points on a 1 loss team.
This team is good enough, barring any major injuries, to wipe up the floor with any team in the NFC.
Problem is, they still need to learn killer instinct. They should of put this game way out of reach late in the 2nd or early in the 3rd quarter.
They let teams hang around. Exhibit A - the 'skins.
Tonight's performance against NE would of resulted in another big loss.
Say whatever you want, but thats the truth. NE is the measuring stick right now and this team will have to get a lot tougher to beat them.

If we won by 20 do we get 2 wins?

Point is we are healthy and improving each week.. if, as we should, we get to the Super Bowl and play the Pats it won't go like it did earlier this season.

You can tell this is a very young team learning how to win. Ton of talent but lacking some experience.

I agree, this game should not have been close.

But it is much better to win a close one due to your own mistakes than because the other team was of equal talent. At least you can correct your mistakes for the next game.

I think the drive before they scored their 2nd touchdown of the game is the one that gave the Pack momentum. Up 27-10, Romo missed Witten twice and if he completed that, I think we are still driving down the field with a chance to go up 34-10 or 30-10 and with time running out.
