Two ways to win a game...make plays to win and avoid shooting yourself in the foot.

We've won plenty of games the last decade by making more plays to win than our opponent. However, whenever we play a team that has equalled our game-winning plays, we essentially always shoot ourselves in the foot more often.

That's the key for me.

lol. You ever think our defense was outmatched? Cuz let me tell you a secret, no pass rush, pedestrian coverage.... c'mon man, lol gadget lol gadet, fuck off.....watch the game, they beat us over and over when we were on defense.

The offense started slow, but they damn sure didn't lose this game. I don't even really fault Garrett.

The defense sucked a huge dick tonight. No run D, zero pass rush, and for the most part Pack WRs running free thru the secondary.

Lawrence sucks, Irving was invisible, and Jones was unremarkable.

 

[Joe Fan]

The refereeing was terrible, but it wasn't necessarily slanted in favor Green Bay. It was just god awful all around.

I don't know if I'd go that far. That so-called unsportsmanlike conduct on Butler and the non-call PI where they tackled Witten were pretty bad. And the fact that the Packers OL had zero holding calls told me everything that I needed to know.

 

[GShock]

3rd and 20.

Man.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Not sure if all those penalties were bogus. Again, it goes to the terrible coaching. Since we know that problem will NEVER be remedied, there is no reason for any optimism or positive thinking.

Some were bogus. Some is a total lack of calls against the Pack.

Witten knows this was his best chance at a Super Bowl and it slipped away. Sadly, he will probably never get another shot this good.

We had some holds go our way too TBH. The refs suck, but I didn't see a serious bias in favor of Green Bay.

Lawrence sucks, Irving was invisible, and Jones was unremarkable.

The part that irritated me the most is that the D gave just enough false hope to ultimately shit the bed in the end.

If we never saw Carr, Jones, and Claiborne again it would be far too soon.

You fail to mention the savage Jeff Heath.

Yeah, I have a douche Packers fan co-worker who was crying about the refs letting the Cowboys get away with too many penalties.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I'm alright with the spike. We were thinking TD.

It was a terrible, terrible decision.

 

[kidd]

If it were me I'd cut Butler tomorrow.

He's a waste of a roster spot.

He will have another shot next year. Closest we have gotten to the NFC Championship game in a very long time. We will be back next year. Maybe not homefield advantage again but there are other paths.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I was telling my dad that they should have kept going no huddle all the way without clocking or even calling a timeout just like they did vs the Giants last year in week 1.

Green Bay would not have stopped us.

I was screaming at my tv at that. Spiking there was the epitome of retarded. Just zero game awareness whatsoever.

I'm done with that thought process.

Every year that we've had any type of success, we have fallen on our face the following year.

 

[Joe Fan]

Bell nearly has as many rushes in the 1st half as Zeke had all game.

 

[UncleMilti]

Jerry's gambling and wildcattin' ways caught up with this team once again.

Gregory's speed could have helped out there tonight, but in all honesty a solid pass rushing DE, a true disruptive DT and another playmaker at Lb probably changes this game.

We might have the LB in Smith, but this DL needs an infusion of playmakers.

 

[Joe Fan]

Agreed. I was a fan of his preseason but his sorry ass needs to go.

 

[ravidubey]

It was a terrible, terrible decision.

With the gift of hindsight, sure. I'm not a fan of it, but at that point you really don't know if you're going to need the timeout to line up for a FG.

 

[kidd]

I know we needed points of any kind but I was wanting to go for it instead of kicking the FG to tie the game. We needed a TD. This line and the threat of Dak running it would have picked up the first down.

 

[Joe Fan]

Not only that but we always seem to get hit with the injury bug the following year as well.
