Have we figured out why the Cowboys came out so flat against GB yet?

Say what you want, But what I witness was our Runner up MVP put his defense in many bad spots in the first half when they kept it within reach. You can only do so much on defense without being gassed. I can see why D Law said what he said about them being tired.
Yea but the defense was tired as soon as the game started. They had no life in them.

In the 1992 playoffs Dave Wannsdedt accepted the Bears' head coaching job and the Cowboys responded by forcing nine turnovers and beating the Bills 52-17 in the Super Bowl.

This team is mentally weaker than we thought if Quinn's impending departure affected them in the Packers game.
That's the difference of a Jimmy led team vs. Jerry.

They were just a better prepared team that day. We on the other hand treated it like any other day. Just because it was in our stadium all we needed to do was show up and win. Big props to the coaches of Green Bay for knowing our tendencies, and changing things up.

They were just punched in the mouth. GB basically knew how to beat them. The defense wasn’t at full strength (injured LBs, soft up the middle, injured CBs) and they said they were going to stop the run and make Dak beat them. That’s exactly what they did. Ran over them on defense and effectively got two pick sixes out of Dak.
......like the bully taking money, then eating food in front of you. It was a demoralizing look across the board. Let's take the easiest route, similar to the "dog eating the homework"......Dak's fault.

Bingo

The coaches failed, starting with Big Mike. Primarily, outcoached and outprepared. Can't believe McCarthy is still here, TBH.

remember when quinn coached in atlanta the defense was bad there and played confused and when he was coaching here guess what they figured him out here and he got out of town at the first chance. When he will coach in washington he will be okay for a year or two BUT after that like all old retreats he will jump ship again

You must have missed the Demarcus Lawrence interview. That's exactly what he said. Team was tired. Lost because of it. Only one who has attempted to provide an answer.
Yes it was a blunder on his part or maybe he was willing to take the heat for what exactly the culture was in that locker room.
I will give this team credit for at least trimming some fat off this roster, it's time for very recent draft picks to show up or get out as well.

They were “ready”, until GB destroyed them.

GB defense confused Dak by throwing different looks around CD and Dak sucks if his first read is not there, and offensively, they had the personnel to destroy Dallas defense, particularly with their 2 TEs and Dallas LBs being out.

Plus, GB and Love were playing well going into the play-offs and Love was making the correct decisions on the field and our QB was not.

Dan was quoted at the beginning of the game that they weren’t making any changes to the offense. I mean how much more dumbed-down can you make it for this guy.

Yeah, like what are you supposed to say when your teammates just aren't good enough?

Still missing the easy and correct answer I see. We lacked talent on D, and the QB couldn't move the ball on O. Absolutely nothing to do w/ effort or attitude or anything like that. That's BSPN blather.
