I know GB was tired and we were on a roll, but Rodgers is still Rodgers. Would have been interesting to see how Dak and the coaching staff would have responded. Would have been another great test for this young team. Oh well, alas, we will never know.

Had we won the toss I honestly feel we would have scored a TD and won the game just like we did in OT against Philly earlier in the season. Dak was really on and the momentum was on our side. Whoever got the ball first in OT would have won with a TD.

Win the toss and ground them into submission.

Maybe so but we had our chance with 1:33 left and missed our opportunity.

I think the refs would have dusted off another rule that hasn't been called in over 3 decades to make sure Lord Rodgers advances.

Had it gone to overtime I would have slightly favored the Cowboys.

The Packers defense was just shot. The combination of missing almost the entire back-end of their defense to injuries and the front-seven being mauled all game by the Cowboys OL had them pretty much running on fumes.

The Cowboys defense on the other hand, had to some extent, plugged the hole in the dike in the 2nd half and at least were forcing GB to punt.

Yeah momentum completely shifted at that point. You could tell because any other team probably would've been downed the football after that Heath sack. They knew they didn't have enough to win that game in OT.

I saw the ending of the game again last night and noticed that we had 37 seconds left after the third down pass was knocked down. They reset the clock to 40 seconds. The three seconds they needed to kick the FG. I replayed the play and the ball hit the turf with 40 seconds, so I guess it was the right call, but man I was ticked off there for a bit.

Zeke busts lose for a long TD administering the coup de grace to a demoralized Packer defense who is left wondering how they blew such a big lead.

I think we win the toss, get the ball, and Zeke breaks a 33 yard TD to win the game.

I think our offense did too. 1:33 left have to win the game there. Had to go for the kill. We weren't good enough.

There was no choke in our offense, our offense got us back in the game. Our poor defensive performance dictated what we had to do offensively to come back. We weren't perfect offensively but Dak had more TD's and a higher passer rating than Rodgers and we put up over 400 yards of offense. Our defense will continue to get taken apart by great QBs in the playoffs until we fix it.

Hmm so they added 3 seconds to the clock?
