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

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.
Is our defense obligated to let them score when the ball is turned over? Or is that only when Dak throws picks?

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.

Cowboys panicked and went pass happy.

Completely forgot the formula that got them to 6-2.

Run the dang ball and keep defense fresh so they can run like demons.

The fans who basically quit in the first half.
I hate those fans.
Mention one bad no call PI on the 3rd and 4 with the game on the line
and you'll hear "we lost the game because of 2 1st half ints and no run defense".
Like we didn't have a chance to win at the end in spite of it all... smh

I don't buy into blaming the refs, but a bad call is a bad call regardless of what else has happened throughout the rest of the game. The missed PI was blatant. Games should not be decided by missed calls in OT. It wasn't bang-bang and I've seen much less get called all the time.

Yeah well easy to blow a 14 point lead when they are making nonsense calls the entire 4th/OT.

It was a terrible missed call, but Dallas got stopped three times in a row at the end of the game when they had the opportunity to put it away with at least a field goal.

Stop blaming the refs, team played like it usually does and deserve to lose the way they played

1) defense was atrocious- ran all over, had a 4th and 7 up 2tds in the 4th quarter
2) Dak wasn’t very good, 2 bad INTS
3) coaching
4) undisciplined
I didn't even know the officials made bad calls. I mean people are seriously blaming them for this crap show by MM and Dak?

It’s true. Game shouldn’t have even been close if they’re the team the think they are.

That said, this was the OT yardage sequence for us:


7, 15, 7, 9, 9, INC, 16, 16, missed PI, INC

It’s honestly bizarre that we could turn it over on downs considering these totals, but we did.

Or better phrased, the refs took 39 yards away, and swallowed the whistle on an obvious PI on 3rd down.

The Packers made 1 play the whole drive. The refs made the rest
Theyre not the team they think they are. Theyre not the team they sold you guys on. They are still a poorly coached, poorly managed, poorly owned team with a very rich QB who should be poor.

You can do both. They need to play better and the officials clearly missed a Pi in a crucial situation when the O had a nice drive going.

The Lions beat the Packers.

There is no conspiracy to screw the Cowboys vs the Packers. Cowboys do a good enough job shooting themselves in the foot to blow these games.

Just because we gave up a 14 point lead to A. Rodgers (not 40 but 14) on the road, we shouldn’t talk about the blatant game killing calls by the refs in OT?

They need dumb arses like you to keep this show going

Tolbert lined up off-sides. It was blatantly obvious. That nullified Pollards first down and killed the drive. It was mindnumpingly stupid. Jimmy Johnson cuts Tolbert this morning.

We have many problems:

Defense gave up a 14 point lead
Our Run Defense
Our Pass Defense let a rookie smoke us
Our QB/WR’s are not on same page after a bye week
Interceptions
Penalties
Coaching
Blatant Bad calls or lack of calls by refs

Other then that we were fine

We do indeed and the refs aren't one of them.

Every close game comes down to moments where some guys perform and others shrink. We seem to have a QB who shrinks in the big moments. Our 50M man should be counted on to convert a 3 and 4 with the game on the line.

I think our defense was in on the scam.
