This was NOT a trap game

[NoLuv4Jerry]

Green Bay is pretty doggone good...they absolutley have talent. And Dom Capers is a HECK of a coach. We has 2 road games....Philly and Green Bay. We NEEDED a split....we got it. The reality is that we were NEVER going 14-2....it's just HOW we lost. And I am totally on board with people who were disgusted on HOW we lost. But this COACHING staff and this team will learn from this...if they do not, they will ALL be gone. Wade is who he is. But the truth is this team has ALWAYS had 2 head coaches....like or hate it...that is the truth. And Wades team showed up...Garetts team DID NOT....and I just hope Jerry is taking copious notes...because Wade obviously will not be here next year....but will Garrett? Time will tell.

It was very foolish for anyone to call the Green Bay Game a trap game.

Just goes to show you just how much some fans overrate this team and disrespect the opposition.

ALWAYS worry about a good football team that is in a desperate situation, and that is where GB was yesterday. Their D had played bad most of the season, and they played like their hair was on fire yesterday. I could tell in teh 1st half that it was going to be just one of those days where we didn't get any breaks, and they played extremely inspired. I thought our D played pretty well. Gave up 1 long drive cause we couldn't get off the field on 3rd and long. The other TD was gift wrapped on a freak play that should have been recovered fumble. Overall, if you had told me we would split at Philly and at GB I would have taken that before last week. Problem is you get that 1st one and get greedy. Still in great shape, and BETTER be 8-3 after I eat my Thanksgiving dinner!

What is funny is that on Friday, Nate Newton on Galloway and Company said the Packers would lose because they called a "Player's only meeting" last week and he said during his playing days in Dallas, they always lost after calling a Player's only meeting.

The main problem is that Dallas just doesn't seem to be establishing the running game. This is going to be a huge factor late in the season and could be the Cowboys undoing.

However, Green Bay is a good team and I am not surprised we walked out of there with a loss.

The running game certainly could be a factor. I think the coaches don't exactly know what to do with the 3 RB's we have. The way GB was coming after the QB it would have been nice to see them pitch it wide a few times to Felix to try to slow them down some.

Jason Garrett is the highest paid Offensive Coordinator in the league, this is completely unacceptable if this is case.

for starters they can STOP being so chicken **** about egoes and PLAY Tashard Choice. Barber leaves WAY to many yards on the field...he NEVER attempts to make anyone miss...even when he gets 5 yards...I see another 4 or 5 that are there to be had if Choice was runnin the ball....Barber takes way too long to get to and through the hole

 

[Doomsday101]

I don't think this was a trap game just a game where Dallas made too many mistakes and the Packers were playing for their lifes.

 

[CATCH17]

We lost but nothing would go our way.

As long as we win the next 2 then this game is water under the bridge.

I also think it may give us more of a chip on our shoulder going into the Giants game.

But if we lose 1 of these next 2 then i'll be wayyyyy more upset about the Packer game.

Philly losing yesterday though pretty much made this game no big deal.

Dead on. It's time to name a feature back and get him 20 carries. Choice is the guy. Barber is better on the goal line, short yardage, closer. Jones is still hurt. Make Choice the feature back, and allow the blockers to get comfortable with blocking for the style that he brings.

 

[RS12]

Yah, GB is so good and Capers so talented that TB hung 38 points on them a week ago. Try again. Cowboys lost more than GB won IMO.

Don't look now but we are probably going to have to win 2 road games in a row to do well in the playoffs. Just saying.

BTW nothing will be learned from this game. This has happened over and over and over. This team will come out ready to play for the next several games and then we will have another like this once they start thinking how good they are and once Garrett starts thinking how smart he is. Luckily we have enough talent to get us into the playoffs probably, but in the playoffs its going to be interesting to see if this team can finally put together a solid stretch against some very good opponents.

Oh, you mean the same Green Bay Team that ALWAYS struggles against Tampa Bay IN Tampa.? yeah,that's it.

Cowboys "lost" more then Green Bay "won". LOL, What is that nonsense?

Does that mean the "L" for losing is bigger looking on the standings sheet for Dallas?

And the "w" for Green Bay will have an asterick by it?

Means nothing. Green Bay made the plays that Dallas didn't.

And this stupid "Wade's team showed up today" because of the loss.

So, that means that it was "Jason's team that showed up the last FOUR games"? I think not.. LOL..

Hell, I know that Dallas lost and all, but, good lord people are really reaching in here today.

The Tampa win is probably the worst thing that happened to us. It made the Packers embarassed and desperate and they played like it was their SuperBowl yesterday. If they would have beaten Tampa, they probably would not have been so inspired yesterday.

Now, the loss yesterday probably will help us play better against the Skins on Sunday, which would have certainly been a trap game if we would have won yesterday.

 

[DFWJC]

Of course it wasn't.

They were at home with their backs against the wall and already had two very close losses to rival Minnesota. It was a must win for them. Still, a few bounces here or there and a little better execution on our part and that game could have been won. The early injury on the o-line hurt too.

They key will be to see how the Cowboys respond.

 

[Hook'em#11]

Only team I am worried about in the next two weeks is the Raiders. I think that game is the BIGGEST "trap" game if there was one. Cowboys should seriously destroy that team and the starters for the Cowboys shouldn't even be seen in the 4th qtr of that game.

And I am not saying that the Cowboys should look past the deadskins. That game, as always will be no cakewalk, they never are.

Yes, yes, and yes

 

[TNCowboy]

The reality is that we were NEVER going 14-2.

The more important fact is that we have to play NYG, Philly, SD, and NO after Thanksgiving.

All 4 of those games will be against a better team than beat us yesterday.

 

[casmith07]

The only thing that I felt would be more of a difference is I figured we would get to Aaron Rodgers some more. In other games the Packers have played, he's been running for his life.

It is exactly the case, he's an idiot.

Just because you have 3 RBs doesn't mean they all need the same amount of touches. I like Choice, but when they are all healthy this guy shouldn't even touch the ball. Felix and MBIII should both have double digit touches before he even sees the field.

It's real simple, go with whose better.
