How is it a dark ominous cloud? Even MLF said it wont ever happen again. Obviously it was a phenomenal win in a manner NO ONE saw coming. Its an observation said by others as well as addressed by the damn coach. Let's not be so dramatic. Get over it.
Yep. When you have a massive 4th quarter lead, those points are capital you can spend toward keeping your starters healthy. I'm happy to pay 16 points to have those guys out of the game most of garbage time.
Lol. Lighten up Francis.
You're absolutely right. I've been watching the various national sports news outlets today, and the story isn't how well Green Bay played, and how bright the future looks for the Packers. It's all about the failure of the Cowboys. Well, that's okay, keep overlooking us, you SOBs.No, it is now all about how the cowpies blew it and not much about us. And that's a good thing. I don't mind flying under the radar for another week.
watch nfl live first 30 seconds on PACK.....next 30 minutes how about them Cowboys. I wanted throw up.
Every time I came on to do it I'd get buried in notifications and then forget. It is up now.
It didn't really fall off, MLF started taking starters out and our defense went into a (loose) prevent.
Fair enough. Still learning the tactical nuances of the game!
You can't act...
And that is OK. I hope the 9ers think that as well.
There are plenty out there gushing over Love and his young weaponry as well as Jones but you're right, the story is what is Dallas going to do. It's a death watch and they are waiting for the hammers to drop
I shouldn't be surprised. There have been many years when the Cowboys were basically irrelevant, but they were still the focus of a LOT of stories. They're the most valuable franchise after all, and the most popular NFL team. And media darlings too, apparently.
Not on the 4th down sneak. We were at the 10 yard line. When it is that close a coach hates getting railed for kicking a FG when he is inches from a 1st down. Now it does impact why we try to get close and closer when you have a kicker you cannot trust.
Carlson has missed plenty of 33 yards extra points so going for it on 4th down becomes more likely when you don't trust your kicker to make a short kick.
It does from 45-55 yards for sure. MM would either punt or go for it from out there because he did not feel good about Crosby and our defense especially in bad weather. Even if our kicker is the great Adam Vinatieri MLF would go for it. Coming away with 3 when you only need inches is not what any team would do at that range unless it is the last play of a half.
MLF was in a bind. He should've factored in how bad the O line is in short yardage. They were getting stoned. Their good pass blockers but get manhandled in short yardage. I'd would've rather seen them go play action on those disastrous short yardage plays instead of the predictable getting beat at the LOS.
Right. The Eagles run that scrum sneak to perfection. They have what is needed. Now IF Rodgers was our QB no way does MLF call that sneak. The key was 3rd down. We needed Dillon or a bootleg.
