well, it's a new game and 50/50 shot at getting the ball first. Score a TD and Dallas wins.

I mean, can you not accept that there may have been a better way to play it since we lost in regulation after being tied with 35 seconds left to a Top 3 all time QB with 2 TOs
You are only judged for the end result. That's all we notice. Maybe running a play there would have been better, maybe not. But you could always apply for the job yourself if you think to know better than him.

Every great team the last 15 years has a season like this end prematurely before going on a run. The great coaches use this game to identify who can play and who can't and fix the holes

This game showed pretty clearly who those guys that can't play are when the chips are on the table

If Garrett is any kind of coach he'll plug the gaps...or he'll go the way of Wade Phillips and watch it all crumble around him

Has to go. I'm not trying to turn feral but our clock management is deplorable and I'm sick of it. Get a real HC in and let's get down to winning games that actually matter!

spiking the ball is playing to win. the only reason you give away a down is you think it saves you clock time for more downs and you only get more downs if you convert a first down. it was aggressive - which is opposite of conservative playing for a tie.

how so many of you are missing this is crazy.
We aren't missing it all knowing one we just disagree with you. I'm of the belief they had enough time to score without spiking and if they didn't similar to what happened its even more less time left. If they run the ball instead of spike it that cook play doesn't happen cause they are probably out of time or so little time they just goto OT.

They knew about it. It's why Cole made the fair catch. But they passed on a 73-yard attempt (that could potentially returned for a TD). The article talks about kickoffs but neglects to mention that no tee is allowed on such a kick. The Cowboys declined the opportunity and that decision was announced in the stadium.

Garrett won't do anything. He is a puppet who just stands there and claps.

No one respects him. He is a clown.

You should be judged on the actions that lead to the end results. and if the end results continue to be a re-curing theme, then "walks like a duck, etc"

If I had been drinking with Jerry once, I might have been on the short list. It isnt just me that has seen it, and Im not talking about board members.

So do I. I just didn't expect them to do it this year.

This team (read: offense) is stacked and will be in the playoffs for several more years. If we can upgrade our defense, we'll be competing for Super Bowls.

I'm tired of wait till next year. We all felt that way after 07 too, how did that turn out?

Fortunes in the NFL can change on a dime. Especially when your team is owned by Jerry Jones. It's so rare to get top seed and home field throughout. We can't blow chances like that.

If Jerry cares about this team in the slightest, he would fire Jason Garrett. Won't happen.

That's the thing you really can't.

Chargers fired Schottenheimer after a 13-3 one and done season, but it's just so difficult as an owner to do so.

Of course we have the Garrett lets Jerry do his thing dynamic and Jasons going no where.

But damn man, Dak Zeke and Dez are no joke and if this guy stumble bums around with us going a respectable 11-5, 10-6 playoff appearance oops didn't quite make it next couple of years, i'm going to lose my mind.

If I would have told any of you that we would go 13-3 and lose a heartbreaking loss to the Packers after being down 18 after losing Romo you would have called me insane. Maybe Jason should have run a play there, I don't know, but I think he gets some credit for what happened until today.
