On this day 6 years ago: Eleven & One

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Are we talking about the play in which Byron was spying Rodgers, to make sure he didn't run for a 1st down? IIRC, Byron was about 15 yards from the catch.

It was third and twenty-two and Rodgers was playing on a bum leg. That's why the OT jumped on David Irving's back the way he did. So there was no spying on that play.

Spoiled fanbase and fans that think they know the game....

How exactly are we spoiled? Because we won a Super Bowl almost 26 - 27 years ago? We have just been inundated with playoff wins to the point we should not expect any more. Super Bowls are overrated.

IIRC, Jones was about halfway between AR and the receiver. I remember people being mad because he was worried about Rodgers being able to run 22 yards for a first. But it seems like all Rodgers's injuries go away when he plays us.

32 teams and some expect to win it every year. It's not easy to win in any league, especially in today's salary cap era.

Dunno about the rest of you, but those two seasons when they earned the one seed and blew it immediately were more painful than the Campo 5-11 specials.

I have no issue accepting losing when you aren’t good enough, but getting picked off at home TWICE as the one seed was a lot to handle.

Dak was the least of their problems in the playoff game.

 

[Diehardblues]

Still the highlight of their careers.

The team Romo was destined to take to a championship game.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

That is the funniest thing I've seen on the web in a while. Kudos to you.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Maybe just change "A Cowboys Story" to "A Cowboys Tragedy".

The fact that we were 11-1 six years ago at this time is why I’m not going overboard about being 8-3. Once the playoffs start regular season records go out the window.

No one covered cook on that play lol. AR actually threw a late bad pass and cook just made a great catch.
Then AR got all the credit for that play.

The play design was to throw the ball where it would be caught leaning out over the boundary. Dak and Cowboys completed a recreation of play last Sunday. Both Aaron's and Dak's throws were perfect.

December 2, 2016

Exactly 6 years ago today, the Dallas Cowboys led by rookies QB Dak Prescott and RB Ezekiel Elliott had won 11 straight games (their longest winning streak in a single season in franchise history) and had amassed an 11-1 record at that point to their 2016 season.

Meant nothing in the end didn't it?

No rookie has ever led a team to the SB let alone win one.

You were probably too dim to figure that out

The officials helping out Aaron Rodgers right on cue had a lot to do with that win. You were probably and still are too dim to figure that out.

And didn't amount to shhhh on the playoffs.

iggles should take notice.

 

[Fmart322]

They should have started Romo when he was healthy

I agree but it is hard to fault Dak for the playoff loss.

Funny Rodger ended up not being in the SB as well
Is your one ounce of intelligence able to contemplate that?

But he certainly did not step up did he?

 

[ChuckA1]

It was a catch!
