Sterling Moore was awful today and to me cost us game for sure. Murray's fumble hurt but we overcame it. I have to say Moore, the Dline, and Bailey.

I don't think we overcame that fumble. Murray scores on that play. Instead the Packers got the ball and took the lead, a lead they never gave up.

Was it a bad play by Murray or a heck of a play by a supposedly over the hill Peppers? The other team gets paid too, also see blocked FG.

It was a bad play by Murray. If you don't think so, ask him.

  1. Sterling Moore - probably cost the Cowboys the game. His inability to cover Adams was so damaging
  2. Crawford - 0 sacks, 0 solo tackles, 0 assists. They needed more from him today. I EXPECTED more
  3. Murray. Such a good game except the fumble nullifies itC
  4. Bailey. Wasn't his finest moment. Short kicks and a missed field goal. They need better from their best players and he is one of their best players
  5. Spencer - 0 sacks, 0 solo tackles, 1 assist. You had a great run as a Cowboy. I wish you best luck with your new team next year
  6. Wilcox - He rarely seems to be involved in pass coverage and when he is it's usually bad. See the Adams long play.

Wilcox was bad @ philly in pass coverage?

Not gonna bash sterling Moore. Had a better season than any of had right to expect!!

Bailey is a choker. He showed his true colors vs Houston

Murray left a lot of yards on the field...a lot
Bailey cost us a 6 point swing
Too conservative on defense. Needed to take some more risks to get to Rodgers. It was clear he was warming up and we just sat back while he picked us off.

So lets never give credit to our guys when they force a fumble, because its always the ball carrier"s fault? Peppers made a heck of a play. Murray wasn't even holding the ball all recklessly like he often does at the time. Hanna had a fumble recovery in his mitts deep in GB territory with us already up 8 points. He blew it. That was probably the play of the game.

i blame myself for the murray fumble, said in a couple threads was worried he would have a bad one. While i dont agree that he would have `hit his head on the goalpost` like troy, would have been a huge gain.

Murray has to hold onto that ball, good play by Peppers, but that was a big play He doesn't have the speed to score on that play, but he'd have gotten us into FG position..

Wilcox and his bad angles

Moore had been solid all year, but he just wasn't good today, big disappointment, because I was hoping he'd be a long term 3rd CB option and now I'm less sure of that.

Ro McClain I was all for signing him to a good contract, but If he doesn't sign something with playing time incentives then I left him go.

They didn't take the lead. They kicked a FG and was still down one. Giving up a TD on 3rd and 15 is what killed us the most besides crooked refs.

It was a 10 point swing. There was nobody between Murray and the goal line if he had held onto the ball.

Yes, he shouldn't have fumbled, but I still say that was one hell of a play by Peppers! Threw Martin off balance and then spiked that ball out of nowhere!

I can't name names but the tacking by the secondary was terrible.

Yes, somebody said Martin did block like an All-Pro on that play and my response was "well Julius Peppers is a future Hall of Fame inductee".

TD on 3rd&15 @ 50 was the killer imo. If they hold them right there, Cowboys couldve entered the 4th quarter w/ a 21-13 lead w/ the ball(deep in the Cowboys territory). Instead, the 4th started 21-20 w/ the Cowboys facing a 2nd&18. Killer
