Divisional Weekend: Dallas Cowboys @ Green Bay Packers

[dbair1967]

Great season, far exceeded anyone's realistic expectations.

I went into today thinking we had to play a near perfect game to win, and I was right. We made too many mistakes. We need some help on defense. We need a new special teams coach.

The teams close to being pretty good. Obviously keeping some of our key free agents and our coaching staff in tact is necessary too, but if they make a few good moves in free agency and have another good draft, they can win a lot of games again next year if Romo is healthy.

And since his knees were down, that's not even a fumble.

We got screwed, no doubt, but we had other chances and blew them.

 

[Midswat]

That loss sucks.

Jesus we blew that game.

And a new RB coach, that can teach the RB to hold onto the ball.

I mean fuck.... How is two steps and an end zone lunge NOT a football move?

So stupid.

 

[Dodger12]

His knees were on the turf before the ball left his hand. Therefore the ball coming out at that point isn't even a fumble. He was DOWN.

This is what's so unreal. It was a catch any way you look at it. But it's done. Too bad. If it was a blowout, then you accept it. This playoff series will be discussed more for the refs than the games. Sad...............

Maybe someone can upload this clip here, this one makes it really hard for me to understand how the call could have been overturned.

That's what I been saying.

 

[dbair1967]

shit, it errors out for some reason

Yeah, cant afford to have what happened before half time happen. The Murray fumble was obviously the biggest killer in the game IMO.

Had other chances. Missed some sack chances. Had the ball on the ground a couple times from them and somehow didn't recover. Way too many missed tackles.

 

[Doomsday]

Way too many missed tackles.

Yep especially in the 2nd half.

 

[bbgun]

the key today is no cheap TDs (punt return, kickoff return, INT return, fumble return, etc). Rodgers and friends will score enough points without our help.

mission accomplished, but we still lost

 

[Midswat]

One thing I'm thankful for is that we didn't lose due to Romo's poor play.

No ints. No fumbles.

Could you imagine the backlash had he turned it over?

Ps- I hate Murray

not recovering Cobb's fumble on the kickoff was .. unfortunate

That whole closing your eyes while passing though, brilliant too. Yes he is really that damn good.

but throw the ball away instead of taking huge sacks

yeah that was huge...looked like we had two or three guys with a good chance to get it too

 

[Doomsday]

He can't, because he can't see when they get close to him. Eyes shut tight.

Romo was awesome the vast majority of this year and played extremely well in the postseason.

I don't hate Murray but that fumble today was an absolute killer. He was never a fumbler before this season, and I think they said that after the struggles he had early in the season he hadn't fumbled since week 7 or 8. He's really an all around good player and I love his fiery attitude, but I wouldn't re-sign him now unless it was a really cap friendly deal for us.
