What were you thinking when we gave the ball back to them at the end?

[Bleu Star]

told the wife it was over and we lose

My wife sent me a text message from home that read "Wow. Really?!?!".. lol. This story is on Netflix.

I felt like there was entirely too much time on the clock because we had NO PASS RUSH as usual. The one time we pressured Stafford he was called for grounding. Of course Hatcher had the sack. Other than that he was clean all day. I'm tired of the Cowboys defense making it so easy on everybody. And, hey offense, you might want to capitalize off of turnovers. Just saying. This is the worst loss in a long time for me.

This...

The absence of a pass rush or any hint of motivation up front during that time the game was a clear indictment of what was just around the bend.

 

[Jenky]

I was thinking, Oh Gee, Jason Garrett in situational football. And the stupid short pass at the end which ended up in a lateral to a linemen was the cherry on top. We had two timeouts at that point, so we could have ran 2 plays.

 

[ShiningStar]

Garrett clapping on the sideline in giddyness.

 

[HappyOnions]

A 6 point lead with a minute left to go is by no means comforting with this team.

 

[DEMFAN]

I was thinking why were we running the previous possesion why not take knees and punt with like 20 some secs in the game. Worse that could happen was overtime.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

"We're going to lose" came out of my mouth without even realizing. It just came out. So sad

 

[Bleu Star]

One thing is crystal clear in large bold letters. Our current regime is not very good at navigating through situational football moments. It's so bad that you already know what's going to happen. You can bet on it and win every time.

 

[ThreeandOut]

I'm feeling more and more that this team is simply cursed. Every year they manage to lose 1-2 games in ways that no other team in the league would lose.

   The Lions lit up the Dallas defense for 265 yards and 24 points in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys had 268 yards all game.

When they showed the statistic that only one team had ever won with a -4 turnover margin, I said aloud, "We get to rewrite the record books today".

 

[pugilist]

i absolutely 100% was thinking we were going to lose

When we gave the ball back to them with 1:04 left in the game, were you like me and my friends? Were there shades of familiarity? Were you thinking you've seen this movie time and time again on Netflix? I'm not going to go into detail and completely obliterate any particular player. Win as team. Loses as a team. However, I do see that we have a nice blend of talented players acquired within the last 5 years and a smaller contngent that has directed this B movie for close to a decade. That contingent consists of Jason Garrett, Tony Romo, DeMarcus Ware, and Jason Witten. All great people in their own rights.. However, they tie the current talent pool to the days of heartbreaking loss after loss. We are a team that is deserately trying to shed that regurgitated Neflix B movie image but the ties still remain. There is no easy answer. Perhaps guys like Witten, Romo, and Ware should apprecaite the fire that burns inside a player like Dez. Perhaps they would benefit greatly from taking a bit of that fire to use for themselves. Examine it. Breathe in the fumes. Understand it completely. While some may see sideline Dez as childish antics, I see a competitor that just wants to win. That fire is a breath of fresh air for a fan like me tht has grown tired of the Netflix Dallas Cowboys B movie.

I honestly thought we'd lose.

I did feel like everybody in the free world knew that they were going to run the ball and that it would get stuffed which would give the ball back to the Lions with way too much time on the clock.

 

[Zman5]

When I saw them lining up to run the last 3rd down play instead of kneeling, I said "Uh oh. We are either going to fumble or get a penalty and stop the clock". Sure enough.

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

I was at a bar and the stupid closed captioning blocked the clock. I thought it was a done deal and even texted my Lions fan buddy "ball game". Boy was I in for a surprise...

I posted prematurely on facebook and it went a little something like this: "5-3 and can't wait to see those Saints in two weeks! ".. Needless to say, the Saints fans that I have as friends went off on my page. I had to lock it down & do a mass cleaning...lol

 

[Red Dragon]

I refused to watch after the Cowboys kicked the FG to go up 30-24. I kept thinking, "31-30........31-30.....please don't let it be...31-30......"......and guess what, it happened.

 

[Red Dragon]

As soon as I saw the word "flag" on the screen, I knew it was GAME OVER.

I wondered aloud why Dallas didn't go for it on 4th and 5. At least they would have had a chance.

Because there's a big difference between a 3-point lead and a 6-point lead.

 

[Bleu Star]

Yeah. No question you take the 3 if you can get it and protect a 6 point lead. My confusion was around that long pass to #18. Initially I was pissed at OScan for letting him go but then I realized they were playing a soft zone. The safety just didn't get over there in time. That was a dagger if I ever saw one.
