He is right. That call wasn't even the biggest thing. We had multiple chances to bury them.

My list is:
A) 3rd and1 before half
B) missed FG instead of going 4th and 1
C) DeMarco fumble
D) Hannah non fumble recovery after DeMarco score on KO.

Defense got gassed as we never blitzed either, even when it was 3rd and 15.

The refs got the call right under the rules, the rules are just dumb. You can debate that he made a football separate move with the dive but the more I watch, the more it looks like one continuous play. This will be like the Tuck Rule Raider game where it looks obvious to those getting the shaft but it follows the rule.

Its so easy to say that, but horrible calls like that are like big punches to the gut, given the time and being the away team. I know personally, my gut still hurts, so imagine how the players feel.

They can be but if you're a true contender than you can't let that phase you. And Cowboys didn't. Cowboys simply got beat by a great quarterback. I don't go back and look at this defense and say they just looked defeated. Even after the Murray fumble. They went out there and limited them to a field goal. This team didn't get phased by things like that. Yesterday, they simply got beat by a great quarterback. If it was Colt Mccoy I would agree. But they converted a 3rd down that was tipped by Tyrone Crawford and was nearly an incomplete pass. I can't in my right mind say that it hurt us when there was more football left. Now the fact that they didn't put the 25 seconds of clock back up there? You won't get a argument from me. That definitely hurt.

I agree, I don't think we would have stopped Green Bay from scoring either.............even if we score a TD there, we have a 2 point lead. Yea, we probably would have gone for 2 points but the league average is like 53% on 2 point tries, so its basically flipping a coin if you get it or not.

There was still about 4 mins left in the game and Green Bay had 2 timeouts and the 2 min warning................I seriously doubt we would have kept them out of FG range or even out of the end zone considering we could not get a single stop the entire 4th quarter. In other words, we still would have most likely lost the game even if Dez scored because our defense is just not good enough.

Right. The only thing that you can say is that maybe the Pack play it conservative and just go for the field goal. But that's even hard to assume because we saw them yesterday throw the ball TWICE when most coaches would've just ran the clock.

No doubt. And I would be upset if we went ahead and GB came back, but could accept that a lot better (our D has been a our weakness) than watching the refs overturn a catch. If we lost after a GB comeback on their final drive I'd be upset about Murray's fumble, Bailey's miss and Hanna not holding on to that fumbled return, but I wouldn't feel cheated. This is a sick feeling that I'll likely never get over.

I agree with you. I'd much rather lose on this defense than lose than how we did. I'm not over it and probably won't for awhile. People keep saying "karma". Karma for what? What did the Cowboys do to get karma lol? The refs blew the call last week. Not the Cowboys.

I feel somewhat cheated but I also feel like this team beat itself yesterday.
