I think the biggest problem today was pressure on Rodgers. Rodgers was basically a sitting duck and we couldn't pressure him in the second half. Sure the secondary made mistakes but geez, give me a little pressure and see how good the secondary looks. Lawrence has made some noise lately so hopefully next year he will play an entire season and help out with some QB pressure. I would still like to see a DLineman in the draft as well as another CB.. we'll see!
yep, so dallas goes home and works on their secondary, after securing contracts with bryant and murray.
you cant lay all of the problems off on romo over the years. receivers dropped easy passes, defenses laid back and stopped the pass because dallas had become one dimensional on offense, and the severe lack of a solid defense all conspired to really hurt the cowboys.
as for not drafting a QB, the team still has time to get one. romo still has a few good years left and in three years there will be a fair number of good QBs ready to come out of college. for instance anu solomon from arizona is only a freshmen, and was rather brilliant this year. lets see what he is like in three more years.
Yes that is true but he didn't HELP the situation back then by throwing picks. I love this statement by Joe Theismann
"As a NFL QB you don't have to be the reason your time wins a game but you damm sure can't be the reason your team loses a game"

Im curious what is the job of a defensive coordinator? He knew Aaron Rodgers speed was limited due to a torn calf and he doesn't come up with schemes to go after him??
Damned good game by Dallas. Halfway through, I thought it was over. I never thought Green Bay had it in them to come back against that team.
I can't help wondering how much that hit Romo took to his left knee affected him. Maybe it was my imagination, but from that point on, I don't think he had a good series the rest of the day. I won't be surprised if we find out tomorrow that his mobility and mechanics were more limited than we were led to believe during the game.

Well, you either get pressure with 4 or you blitz and blitzing Rodgers is always risky. I felt they did well in the first half but didn't get much pressure in the 2nd half... its a catch-22, if you don't blitz and Aaron beats you folks say why didn't you blitz and if you do blitz and Aaron beats you, well there ya go! you can't win unless you get pressure from your front 4.. Coordinator be damned..
This week's result: Cowboys lose to the Packers: 26-21 Final 2014 Regular Season Record: (12-5) 2014 Playoff Record: (1-1)
Damn good season. It was unexpected that the Boys would do this well and the last game was a disappointment (to say the LEAST) but still, can't take away what we did this year.
Side note: Anyone who's sh*tting on Romo and actually blaming HIM for this loss is a moron. Plain and simple.
Give Rodgers credit - BIG time grit and determination.
I believed Rodgers injury would give Dallas enough of an edge to pull it off. But Romo got hampered in the 2nd half, and that tuned him down just a bit. I was rooting for the Cowboys to win and to get the media off of Romo's back. It's been quite unfair over the years.

I buy into that "it's risky" because you have to atleast try and it if doesn't work atleast you know you made an attempt. And I am not talking about blizting on every down just mainly on 3rd and 6 or longer
