FRISCO, Texas – There was no Cowboys tape to watch this Monday, as they had a weekend off to start the playoffs.
Rather than study this team, I decided it might be a good use of my time to study the opposition. The Green Bay Packers rolled to a 38-13 win against the Giants on Sunday night, setting the stage for a showdown at AT&T Stadium.
Here’s a handful of plays, both good and bad, that I think swung the game in Green Bay’s favor. These will be important moments for the Cowboys to watch as they get into their preparations this week. Read
The drop by Sterling Shepard on the Giants’ second drive of the game was far worse than anything Odell Beckham Jr. did. I thought that both passes were in good spots for the skill level of these receivers. We have all seen Beckham Jr. track passes with far more difficulty and come up with catches, but Shepard’s miss was just a flat drop. He put himself in position to high point the ball and for some unknown reason he let it fall right between his hands, giving Micah Hyde the opportunity to rally to contest him on the play. Hyde has no shot and there was nothing keeping Shepard from securing that ball – if he would have just went to go get it. It was a four-point play that would have given the Giants an early lead and some momentum.
