Why spike the ball

[jarntt]

why???

A time out and plenty of time.

 

[tomodach10]

That was dumb, but boy we need a lot of defense help in off season.

 

[TheSnowdog]

Garret needed to save the time out to ice the GB kicker

 

[Earl Stevens]

We spiked the ball for the same reason we start Doug Free.......stupidity.

 

[Bmurph]

Cost them a down and a 1st down there and Dallas may just score a TD

 

[Earl Stevens]

Truth be told, we deserved to lose after getting down so big. But the officiating in that game was a fucking joke.

Yes, But they stepped up after 21-3. Rodgers was lights out and we still had a shot. Mo hurt again. Safeties late coming over on a bunch of plays, but they played with heart. They didn't give up. Th way Rodgers is playing right now, I just can't really fault the defense today.

It was like GB was at home.

I'm not going to complain about refs. You put yourself in a position to allow them to make calls. I blame our players. What pissed me off was the Packers whining for every little call even though they got more calls.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

What were the bad calls. The only one I remember was Dallas down 15 on 3rd and 8 and the get a huge break on a bad PI call. I'm not saying you're wrong but what did I miss (bad call wise)?

I blame the players too but the refs aren't getting a pass for complete bullshit calls. No PI call on Witten which would have put us at first and goal. But instead we kick a FG. Bullshit Butler 15 yard penalty. The rule states that if you participate in the huddle, you have to stay in the game. Brice Butler walked towards the huddle, but said nothing to anybody and looked immediately at the sidelines and ran right back out. He did not participate at all, yet it was a penalty. Completely killed the drive. It was a bullshit flag that wiped out a big play. Irving was blatantly held on the game winning pass to Cook and there was no call. The interception by Rodgers that was negated by a ticky tack bullshit penalty. Morris Claiborne had a joke penalty called against him as well that bailed them out of a 3rd down. They would eventually score a TD. I don't want any of the trolls on here ever complaining about the Detroit playoff again because today's game was a fucking joke. The Cowboys weren't even at home. We might as well had been in GB. Officiating wasn't why Dallas lost, but nobody is gonna tell me I can't complain about the officiating. It was bad.

Garrett isn't all bad, but at what point do we admit he wets the bet during the game? He's like a skinny Andy Reid.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

I didn't mind the spike. We were getting chunks. 3rd down we had WRs open. The ball just got batted. It's like I said at half time , they can't stop us. Atlanta will beat them by 20 unless they get some DBs healthy

Clock management is his big brain fart. Smart guy. He must be good at Math, right? So many reasons not to spike the ball. He only gave us two chances for a first instead of 3. FG was no gimme. We had a timeout. Tons of time left. Want to run clock and not give GB the ball back. A negative play on 1st would have almost ended the game right there. It's just a big

Rookie mistake there, but God forbid we ask our defense to make a stop late in the game. Dak and zeke proved they belong. Now the Cowboys can either fix the defense for real or waste their talents

 

[Earl Stevens]

The Packers had 3 penalties for 22 yards.

Me neither. Dallas got it's fair share of bullshit calls in this one. They can look in the mirror after this loss, and it starts with Howdie Doody.

Garrett and Co have NEVER been good at time management. Bone head call. Coaches could have talked to Dak. Another example of Garrett just not being good enough and giving his team the best chance. Or how about coming off a bye and having your players commit not one but two critical players for having too many men on the field or in the huddle. Amateur hour. This team wins in spite of their coaches and the good job good effort defense only gets one so far. This may be the best defense we have in a while too. A number of free agents who I am not saying are not good but to replace that many will be problematic and not sure we have the cap space. Church, Wilcox, Mo, Carr, McClain, Crawford just to name a few are free agents. So is Butler and Escobar but Butler in particular can let the door hit his butt on the way out.
