I am getting really sick and tired of all of these obscure rules costing us playoff games, from Dez's catch, no catch, to this so called huddle violation that nobody can ever remember it being called.

Funny how none of this obscure chit is ever called against the Packers, Steelers, or Pats.:angry:

Well maybe JG should have called TO and or thrown the C flag, to contest that call.
Butler was never in a huddle.
I think the game should be replayed lol put playoffs on hold, and replay the game, they would get great ratings !
First replay in history of nfl.

Aaron Rodgers in week 6 was a bad quarterback. We did not see that same Aaron Rodgers this time around.

He wasn't bad but he was off. He still passed for 294 yards, completed 74% of his passes and finished with one TD and a passer rating of 90.8. I guess you could say it was bad for him but he certainly wasn't "bad." I preached for almost 2 weeks we weren't going to see that Aaron Rodgers again and that things would be a lot different this time but good luck trying to convince the FANS on this board.

I watched the game. I don't care what the stats Aaron was bad. He missed at least two open touchdowns in that first meeting.

In regards to how he played last meeting?......he was MIA in that second half until when it mattered. You can argue Dak outplayed him.

You predicted a qb who was captaining a team that had won 7 straight games and who was on a 19 td to no int streak who had just dropped nearly 40 points on the best defense in the playoffs was going to play well against us? No way...

Watch any NFL game beginning to end, I'll bet you see that very same situation play out in a significant portion of them....when have you seen it ever called?

He was clearly off in the first meeting missing some TD throws but "bad" isn't a word I would use to describe his performance. You love to exaggerate because Rodgers wasn't MIA in the second half, he started the 3rd quarter off with a 6 play 75 yard TD drive. Our D held up better after that scoring drive until the game was on the line.

I predicted we weren't going to be able to stop him and several FANS argued to the extreme of insisting the Cowboys would win easy. lol

You predicted the hottest team in football with a hall of fame qb, in his prime, painting his Michelangelo might be a tough out and had a few homers on a fan site disagree?

I'd be bragging also!

It was more than a few who seemed to think we would handle Rodgers and the Packers just like we did in week 6 and most here thought we would win the game. All the concerns I pointed out that many scoffed at came to fruition. What were you saying prior to the game? :cool:

Prior to the game I was saying we were the favorites.

Bottom line for me.

1. The Refs sucked for both teams. It seemed to affect the Cowboys more since they were tied to major plays or possible scores.
2. The defense played very poorly. No pass rush (Yes, I know, there was holding on some plays that could have changed things)
3. Poor play calling at times and bad time management. Just bad coaching at critical times.
4. Rogers just played one hell of a game
5. Fill in the blank


On the bright side, we have young players that are really good and should be for years to come. As heart broken as I am, I'm really excited about how this team could get better in the off-season and looking forward to see our young guys next year.

What a cluster****!

Hopefully Skip snaps tomorrow on our behalf. Lord knows Jerry is too scared to b/c of his precious Super Bowl.

Jerry has already questioned the call publicly.

Some of you guys' hatred of Jones is just too funny.

He was bad. He missed several wide open looks. The yardage stats were padded by garbage time bend dont break defense and nearly 100 yds worth of dump off to Montgomery.
