Stop blaming the officials when you lead by 14 points in the 4th quarter

Not going to win too many games giving up 200 yards on the ground. GB is a smart team. They saw the weakness in our defense and exploited it. Expect every team with a capable OL and RB to do the same. It effectively neutralized the pass rush.

They couldn’t stop our RG either. Their QB performed, ours didn’t.

Dak gave them 14 points with INTs that should have been drives we scored points. That first INT alone was a 10-14 point swing. I agree Dak sucked, but you can't be giving up 200 yards rushing either. If this defense can't get the other team into passing downs, we can't do what we do best.

Every time I hear the refs did it, it drives me crazy!!!

then you just dont understand the game

it needs to be called consistently that is all you can ask for it was not, they called a tick tack holding but not a blatant PI ,

if that was Dallas DB on that play it would have been called .

The point is, our RG is off of the best in the league. There are going to be games the defense is off. Our QB is wasting our RG and our defense.

The thing is there are so many things we can pin blame on here and all are right.

The redzone pick was a huge point swing. Yet Green Bay still had to drive to get points off of it. But even then the Cowboys still led 28-14 two minutes into the 4th quarter.

I am going to have a hard time getting over the overtime sequence because Dallas had this game in their hands. The way they were moving they most likely would have scored a touchdown. I am blaming the officials because that is where the critical call was NOT made. Lamb was interfered with and I even saw it in real time, let alone a replay.

Something like this happens every time the Cowboys play the Packers. I don't know what kind of deal somebody in Green Bay has with the refs and maybe I don't want to know.

Neither do you, you're the fans that cry and complain about every penalty! Yes we've been penalized often, and the majority of the time we deserve it! This team is extremely undisciplined!

I would argue it is not Dak. It is the play calling that occurs when Dak is in the game. Moore thinks he has Dan Fouts 2.0 and it just aint so.

They couldn’t move the ball, except in hurry up. That probably influenced Moore’s play selection.

Our defense gave up over 200 yards rushing, 3 TD passes and we gave 31 points. Earlier in the season we were holding teams under 20 points and now we’ve given up 29 and 31 points in back to back games.

This game turned on the red zone pick early in the game. They should go up two scores there and we arent having this conversation.
We were up 2 scores much, much later in the game and lost.

It gave them life and hope. This is a team that scored 9 points against the Lions. I stick by my OP. Being down 14 nothing early makes em think here we go again. Even a FG there probably leads to a Dallas win. Intead no points and they march down the field and score. Huge momentum swing.
