Obviously you can point to several different reasons as to why we lost so I'm not going to put it all on JG but that was horrific clock management on the last drive. There is no excuse to not get a FG attempt and leave no time on the clock in that situation. Spiking the ball on 1st down was awful and I said it the moment it happened.

I found find these threads after a loss insulting to us on this board. I'm sure you all think you are being cute but they are really making fun of our passion for our team. It's like "you weak people complain here"

It would have been the same result as spiking the ball. its second down and 10 with probably 35 seconds left .

Are you serious?
It's called saving the clock. So we don't end up in a 2nd and goal from the 5 yard line situation where we have to kick the ball.

I really want to get behind Garret, I think he is a fine Monday-Saturday coach but he has been terrible at game management to finish halves and games. We ultimately didn't get badly burned by not running a SINGLE time to finish the drive at the end of the half, but we gave Rodgers 1:00 by throwing it three times. A terrible decision is a terrible decision regardless of results. Then there's the 3rd and 2 on the opening drive, why oh why did we invest in this line and Zeke if we won't ride them? Finally comes the spike on the final drive when we had a TO in our pocket.
In the NFL the margin of victory can be razor thin, and coaching decisions like these are just unacceptable. The loss is fresh and pain full but you could put together a pretty damning low-light reel of Garret's late half and game decisions. This isn't some fresh faced new coach he's been in charge of at least the offense since 2007... Nine years and he is still struggling in game management. I don't know what to say, I like the man he seems like a smart and stand up guy but he has been terrible to end games...

You want to keep going with this go ahead. For your entertainment purposes only. I don't give a crap!

I saw great promise in Dak after game 1. I thought he should have won it actually. Team mates let him down.


You don't like my posts. Ignore. Easy.
But you are so much fun

I swear it's like some of you guys don't really want to win.

The Dallas Cowboys should have one of the top, if not the premier, coaching staffs in the league. In my opinion we do not, nor have we had for many many years.

If you don't think the staff is just as upset as the posters here, you would be VERY wrong.

As for why we create these threads, its because in the past when we didn't stop users from creating new threads, there were dozens of new threads posted in the Fan Zone every minute, mostly on the same topic, mostly with one or two sentences at most. There are over 800 logged in members on the site right now and a single forum like the Fan Zone cannot support any type of actual discussions if 20+ threads are being created every minute.

I understand you're upset about the game and so are we, but pointing your anger at a free web site's staff is rather pointless.

You played out in your head stuff that never happened. Even so, you just gave Bailey a 23 yard FG for overtime and no time for Rogers game be still going. So you made my point
If Rodgers can get a FG at will in 30 seconds why wouldn't he get a TD at will in ot?
