PossibleCabbage Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Yeah, specifically the reason the Packers took the ball when the won the coin toss (which is not normally what teams do) was because they recognized that Dallas is a very different team when they're playing with a lead instead of chasing. This is probably what Washington should have done in the Natty too, FWIW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVScout Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 2 minutes ago, AZ_Eaglesfan said: "can't run the ball" If you can't run the ball then the defense only has to stop the pass Remember what happened to the 49ers in 1995? Steve to Jerry Rice was unstoppable until it was stopped Green Bay . That is the most powerful example of a timeless truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing would have made GB happier than that gameplan lmfao. Just absurd levels of cope. Your QB stunk. Sorry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrong "couldn't run....." If the Cowboys could run then Dak would not have thrown that int TD. The Cowboy would have drove for at least one and maybe two TDs The score at that point would have been more like 20-14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cowboys inability to run caused Dak to throw an absolutely horrible pick 6. But I am the one who doesn't know what he is talking about. Your QB STUNK. He was BAD. There is no defending him here. He was at the top of the list on players to blame for this loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossibleCabbage Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 IF you really want to drill down on where the game got away from Dallas, it was actually on the fourth GB offensive drive. First GB possession, Packers drive down score a touchdown. This is something that will happen to even good defenses. First DAL possession, Dallas fails to convert 3rd and 8, punts. Second GB possession: Packers punt. Second DAL possession. Dak throws a pick to Jaire Alexander Third GB possession: Packers capitalize on good field position to go up 14-0. Third DAL possession: Dallas drives down to the outside of FG range, but loses yards on 3rd down and elects to punt to pin the Packers back. At this point this is a normal football game, one team is ahead, but it is anybody's game. On the ensuing drive, the Packers face 3rd and 1 on their own 16. If Dallas can stop Green Bay here, the Packers punt and Dallas gets the ball near midfield and we're looking at 14-3 or 14-7. Instead the Packers convert to the tune of 15 yards on the play action to Melton and score a touchdown 8 plays later and the game has gotten out of hand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak still didn't play well Right, the defense was full-on dropping assignments all game. But the two picks and that sack on third down were all on Dak. The sack cost them 3 points (though I'll be honest, Dallas should have still taken the 59 yd attempt...), the pick 6 was horrendous, and the Jaire pick was a great play by Jaire but also a poor throw/decision that gave the Packers the ball in field goal range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cowboys could run the ball Dak would not have even thrown that pass. 6 minutes ago, KFP7 said: both can be true It can also be true the receivers were not running the routes correctly. The commentators were suggesting the communication between the QB and the receivers was off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
