Overachieved. Cowgirls fans should be proud of them. But she. Your quarterback lets a shotgun snap go right through his hands one third and one you know... You know... Same ol Romo haha

get out of here before you piss me off....romo had a fine game....I hardly think the play you're referencing determined the outcome.

Calls us cowgirls and refers to Romo as a 'she.' Seems to have hatred towards women in general. They probably hate him, too.

Probably so.

besides, shouldn't he (she?) be commenting on CFL or hockey?

Hahaha so not only are you sensitive and (incorrectly) making assumptions about my prowess with the ladies (I retired btw, met the women of my dreams), now you think a Canadian has no knowledge of American football? Lol
You watch the same drivel on tv that I do from the same talking heads. *shakes head*

I thought they were going to win, until they blew it at the end of the 1st half, starting with Romo inexplicably letting a perfect shotgun snap go through his hands lol. Same ol Tony, and I actually defend him more often than not. He was my backup in fantasy this year haha.

Do they still have that popcorn eating emoticon guy? If so, this would be an appropriate place to put him...

absolutely....for the hater from north of the border.

Cowboys lost....damn....NFC East champs....bright future ahead, I hope.

You see them keeping both Dez and Demarco?

God.....I hope so!

really not a capologist. gotta keep Dez, if not Murray.

Flagg

Whoo boy, where to start?

I guess with "the catch that wasn't". I think this could have gone either way and that is the problem. The NFL is placing too much subjectivity in these rules when they should be simple. I have always hated this "football move" bullshit. Before that was added, this would have been a catch. Dez caught the ball, took three steps and had his elbow hit the ground, and then he reached for the goal line, and then ball came out. To me, that's a catch. They need to change this rule. Why can't it be simple?? Possession, two feet down, that's it. Regardless, if Dez had just pulled the ball in and secured it, none of this matters.

But just like in the Detroit game, one call does not a came make.

The Cowboys truly did themselves in at the end of the first half with this ridiculous sequence of events:

3rd and 1 and Romo checks out of what we presume was a running play.
Romo fumbles the subsequent snap.
Romo picks up the snap and passes incomplete. 4th and 1.
Cowboys miss the field goal but that is nullified due to a false start.
Cowboys miss the field goal.
After Green Bay gets the ball back Rodgers drives for a field goal.
Cowboys go from potential 21-7 lead to 14-10 lead.
That was the ballgame to me. Momentum swung from that moment forward.

There was also the Demarco Murray fumble on what would have easily been a 60 yard TD run. Tremendous play by Julius Peppers to strip that ball.

Then there were the multiple times the Cowboys had a crippled Aaron Rodgers in 3rd and long situations and could not get off the field.

You cannot go to Green Bay and make mistakes and expect to win the game. The Cowboys made three big ones.

That being said, it was a heck of a game and a hell of a season. I am so glad they are back. I think they build on this next year. They obviously need to add someone who can pressure the QB (who doesn't). Do that and find a way to keep Dez and there is no reason to think they will not be a threat again next year. I am just glad I don't have to hang my head and be the butt of jokes anymore. This team exceeded all my expectations.

By the way, Green Bay gets blown in Seattle next week.

^^^^^ and, altho you kind of alluded to it, there were still four minutes to go after the no catch and the Cowboys couldnt make a stop.

Brian with the voice of reason once again.

This was a game we should have won and made a few too many mistakes to do so. The Murray fumble, 3rd and 1 botched snap/incomplete pass, and late game 3rd and 15 which they get a long 1st down.

I guess the Dez incompletion is the right call but a weird rule. I thought the Calvin Johnson 2010 call was complete BS and never really understood the reason behind the rule. But it is what it is. To quote from SI's Peter King, at least this was the "The death of the Dallas-bought-off-the-officials storyline." http://mmqb.si.com/2015/01/12/nfl-playoffs-cowboys-packers-dez-bryant-replay-catch-peyton-manning-retirement/7/

Great year, and hopefully something to build on. Hopefully we can keep some of our assistants and get some more depth to compete again.

I think Seattle destroys GB too, even though I don't want that to happen.

Agree with everything Flagg said. I thing Dez is back with a long term deal. Murray I'm not sure about ... Wouldn't want him signed any longer than 4 years. It would not shock me to see Marinneli, Linehan and Calahan all move on next year ,,,

Flagg nailed it. The Cowboys played such a good game but in the playoffs with two evenly matched teams a few key mistakes can kill you. I kept saying when they had that last drive of the 1st half, just keep the ball until the end of the half (or make GB use all their timeouts) - don't give Rodgers another shot at the defense before the end of the half. Then Bailey - yikes. I know the field was crap but that second one wasn't close.

By the way, nice showing of Cowboys fans at Lambeau. A lot more than I thought would be there. Most of the GB fans were cool. We just happened to have seats directly in front a group of drunk a-holes. Took my 12-year old son to his first game as a Cowboys fan - I thought about delivering an elbow right to the dude's groin behind us, but wanted to show my son the right way to act. But I did tell one of them off when he dropped an f-bomb at us.

I do look forward to next year though losing some coordinators will hurt as they were a big reason why the Cowboys were able to win this year.

The Waiting Trophy Man

The second Bailey kick was tipped. That's why it was way off.

But I agree, they needed to run the clock out in the first half and finish with points. The Murray fumble hurt as well.

Catch.. But I still think gb wins even if they call it that way.

lukin2006

Some good news ... I've also read various tweets that Scott Linehan and Bill Callahan are close to signing ...

Jason Garrett agrees to five-year deal
