Funny thing is we had more yards, Dak a better QB rating and more tds, and Zeke for 125......:(
so would've Landry and or Jimmy Johnson, maybe even B.Switzer found away to win the game with those stats .........Add in what Dez gave us even.

They would've all taken a extra 5 minutes and ground out that 1st drive, instead of a deep slant out of shotgun........

Oh yea, poor Giants.

Yup. Poor Giants -- won two fewer regular season games, swept Dallas, and were one and done -- just like the Cowboys.

After all is said and done, can't say that 2016 was that much better in Big D than in NYC.

We got Rodgersed. It happens. It's painful. Hope zeke and dak and the rest of this team comes back with a chip on their shoulder.

GB just made 1 more insane play than Dallas did. No clock management or woulda coulda shoulda is to blame.

Except for bubble screens nearly every pass Rodgers threw was tightly covered.

The last play was complete by half a second.

Dak showed he still has some downfield accuracy issues that pop up occasionally but he was great for the most part.

Dez played like an all pro should and so did Zeke.

The lack of a pass rush got this team beat in 2014 and it happened again. Hope the draft yields talented pass rushers that won't get suspended for stupidity.

Just tip your cap to a great QB. Dak will grow into that over time. Should be a heck of a duel next week in ATL.

Say what you will but it's more of the same playoff **** for the Cowboys. The games are always decided at the end but the common theme is that we lose.

This one hurts, so much dissapointment.... Really thought the game was going to OT. Sour grapes, but I'm sick of losing games like this..... Defense needed to make more plays, but had the refs actually paid attention to ol holds this would have been a different game....

I'm turning off my tv and will not watch anymore NFL this season....

I'll be more disappointed when we get a defense that is pass rush heavy and then we go on to lose in the playoffs. This defense was never Super Bowl caliber despite all those fabricated, transparent metrics.
The Cowboys were going to have the absolute worst match ups possible all the way to the SB.
Strange, Sean Lee said the same thing after the game. Tweet that to him.
Pfft. What's he know:rolleyes:

Green Bay had no answer for Ezekiel Elliott, no answer for anything other than to sit back and hope we'd screw up, which we did on a # of stupid penalties. We knew exactly how Rodgers catches teams substituting, yet he caught us for a 3rd down conversion. Inexcusable. Rodgers had nothing to do with Butler's personal foul. Rodgers didn't throw a low % pass 25 yards downfield on 3rd and 2. Rodgers didn't make our offense pass happy when GB couldn't stop EE, even when the game was close early on.

Rodgers is the biggest reason we lost. I would argue the 2nd biggest reason is our goofball HC. 7 years in and a wild card win is his high water mark. This franchise will continue to disappoint as long as Garrett is at the helm.

Honestly not sure.

Rodgers made a number of perfect throws. No denying he's the best QB in the league. Probably the best player in the league.

OTOH, we had the better team, and were at home. Green Bay had no answer for Ezekiel Elliott, no answer for anything other than to sit back and hope we'd screw up, which we did on a # of stupid penalties.

FTFY. :(

It was just a waste of a great season. At this point it doesnt matter were in the same spot as 27 other teams... Im proud of the development of our young players and excited for the future, but thats 8 months away.....

Considering his whole job is playing one side of the ball...about 50%

Ask Dak Prescott if the game was over at 21-3
The reason they lost was the 21-3 hole the defense put the team in. Go ahead and be a contrarian though. I'll take Sean Lee's opinion over yours any day.

FYI: Every year, you're going to be one of the 31 teams that don't win the Super Bowl. Your only hope is to get in the dance every year. From there it's just a game of chance. Single elimination. I suggest you try watching another sport if that makes you uncomfortable.

We all know it's a quarterback driven league. Like Collinsworth said closing out the game tonight, follow the quarterbacks for the teams remaining.

3 mvp candidates in Brady, Ryan, and Rodgers, and then Roethlisberger is obviously no bum.
