Balta1701 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 QUOTE (Boogua @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 06:46 PM) Their defense was always going to be an issue. They have 3 points and like 68 yards though. And there's an explosion for a quick 7. That penalty for the guy coming into the huddle then leaving took at least 3 points off the board, if not 7. That's on the coaching, not Romo. None of this will matter if GB scores 40 and they're on pace to do so. Romo was not putting up 40. Cowboys have to stop Rodgers here, at least start holding him to FGs.

Balta1701 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 That's 2 really impressive defensive holdings on the Dallas CBs that the cameras caught that weren't called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panerista Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 A real defense would give the Packers fits. It didn't take much for Marinelli to break them to end the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Couldn't the Cowboys attempt a free kick after that fair catch to end the half? I know it was far as f*** but might as well try. And why did the Packers even kick the ball? Just waste 3 seconds and kneel to not risk anything bad happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that penalty he missed a guy that would have gotten the first down. I'm convinced the game would be a bit closer with Romo.

He's the future of the franchise as far as they're concerned. Green Bay winning is frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced the game would be a bit closer with Romo. Who knows though I would accept "a bit closer" as plausible, but watch the end score. Dallas is not built to put up 40 in a shootout regardless of which QB they have. They want to run the ball - that RB of theirs is in fact pretty good. You don't score 40 in the NFL by Elliot running the ball for 130 yards, that keeps the ball in their hands and gives the defense a breather, but the defense can't stop them right now. The Cowboys defense needs to make some stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cowboys defense needs to make some stops. They put up 40 in the last game the starters played in the regular season. They have weapons on he outside and the best oline in football. They are definitely built to score 40 if they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con te Giolito Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Controlling the game with Elliott was their best path to victory but Dallas' playcalling since the Pittsburgh game has been more about highlighting how smart they were to draft Prescott. They aren't dead yet, but they should've used Elliott to keep Rodgers off the field as much as possible in the early parts of the game.

You can't make mistakes which make a first down increasingly difficult. No one wins a shootout when starting down 18 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
