Dallas Cowboys Lose To Hopeful Green Bay Packers 17-7
Posted by: thelandryhat
The Dallas Cowboys 17-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay last night is not that big of a deal, folks.
The Packers played their best game of the season, running a defense that swarmed toward the ball. Cornerback Charles Woodson was amazing and some of the Cowboys were a little off.
At 4-4, the Packers were playing for hope.
At 6-2, the Cowboys were looking to add to their NFC East lead, as Philadelphia lost, too.
The Packers just wanted the win more. There was more on the line for the Cheese Heads.
What hurt the Cowboys?
- Cornerbacks Mike Jenkins and Alan Ball and safety Ken Hamlin were all injured at about the same time. The Cowboys didn’t have enough corners to play nickel defenses, said coach Wade Phillips.
- The cornerback who was healthy, Orlando Scandrick, committed two key penalties that extended the Packers time of possession dominance.
- Tony Romo throws an interception in the red zone to Woodson. Romo also fumbles.
- Not being able to get that Felix Jones fumble recovery overturned hurt the most. It allowed the Packers to close the game out, when the ball should have remained with the Cowboys.
- Marc Colombo broke his leg and is out for the season.
- Miles Austin and Romo aren’t connecting. Austin doesn’t seem to do as well when players are taking him seriously.
- Nick Folk needs to make field goals under 50 yards.
Too many mistakes, too many penalties and a lot of game injuries hurt the Cowboys. The defense still played well.
i just watch the cowboys to see the cheerleaders anyways…ha!
feel better fellas.
November 16th, 2009 at 1:47 pmI dont think the lost to Greenbay was a huge lost, but I do think this once again comes down to Wade and Garrett. The offense problems are on Garrett what happened to Barber he was running the ball good and picking up yards with short passes. The reason I call Wade out is because he rewards these guys way to much. I did not agree with victory Mondays from the start. These guys get a reward when they when the Superbowl not a game. Jimmy says it first they get too comfortable and start losing with dumb mistakes. I believe this team could get so much further if they just do what they get payed to do. Stop rewarding them for things they are suppose to do. They celebrate way too early year after year and need to only celebrate when they have a ring on their finger.
November 16th, 2009 at 2:31 pmI believe we will still get to the playoffs thanks to our defense.
November 16th, 2009 at 2:32 pm[...] The Cowboys can’t make up their mind if they suck or if they’re good. Neither can the Eagles. The Redskins, at least, have made a commitment to [...]
November 16th, 2009 at 3:08 pmSorry these guys are not of the same caliber or spirit or ability that former Cowboy teams were. They make too mistakes, play too poorly, have too many penalties to win consistently, especially the big games.
I say off go the heads of the coaches and out go the bums in the uniforms. Only keep Romo and build anew around him.
November 16th, 2009 at 4:06 pmWoody, you’ve got to be out of your mind if that was a serious statement.
November 16th, 2009 at 4:29 pmOn the bright side, the last seven games are favorable with 4 home games. The Redskins (2) and Raiders should equal 3 wins. NYG, the Eagles and Chargers will be tough but 2 of those 3 are home. The bad one will be the Saints on the road. If we take the 3 gimmies and get at least one of the tougher ones we will be 10-6 which will hopefully be enough. I’m thinking 11-5 and the first playoff win in too long to mention.
The season isn’t over because we looked bad in one game against a decent team. They outplayed us now lets move on.
Just read this on the Dallas Morning News blog.
Green Bay defensive coordinator Dom Campers said his group was able to pressure quarterback Tony Romo because the Cowboys essentially abandoned the running game.
“The game became one-dimensional,” Capers told reporters. “You can just go out and blitz, but if people are going to run the ball for big yardage on you, you’re foolish.”
I think Jason Garrett will not be here next year this happened last year when the Ravens said the offense was predictable and now this. Come to think of it now if you were the Defense coach how would you play the Cowboys. It obvious what Garrett wants to do and that is what kills our offense.
November 16th, 2009 at 4:54 pmhowleyfan, i could’nt agree more. we got our asses haned to us lets dust off and get back on the horse again, we’re cowboys right? and woody, thatis not what builds a winning tradition. every time we lose a game clean house???? this team is young at most spots and it will take time to mature to championship level, it don’t happen by accident or over nite. i was disappointed with the 2 drops that roy had, i bet he is too? i would say that should make him work harder next week again, NOT? we’re 6-3 tied with nyg for first. philly lost again and is look “vinceable”. we played the giants well the first time, so come on woody, we are still the team to beat at this point? howleyfan has put the season in the propper perspective when he realistically laid our record possibilities out? i again have to agree.
November 16th, 2009 at 5:04 pmyes texas……thats what i’ve been saying about garrett all along. i think our offensive woes are on his shoulders, squarely, he still does not use the run like we should, and now even opposing D-cords are even saying it!!!!!!! what’s it gonna take for him to wake up. he needs to stop trying to make a name for himself as a offensive passing guru and just win first even if it’s un-glorious runing the ball.
November 16th, 2009 at 5:08 pmTEXAS,
That quote falls under the no freaking shit category…Read my earlier post…JG is killing me..
November 16th, 2009 at 5:11 pmIll have to send Dom a thank you note for confirming what I had wrote…
November 16th, 2009 at 5:12 pmIf Garrett is going to throw the ball he should have atleast kept to short throws. With the way he was getting rushed there was really no chance for a deep ball.
November 16th, 2009 at 6:32 pmTEXAS,
November 16th, 2009 at 6:37 pmThere is two ways to stop a severe aggressive pash rush like the pack brought. One is the screen play which I think we ran only a couple of times..Two is a good run game which we have but Boy Genious decided not to use for whatever reason…You can also difuse an aggressive pash rush with qucik slants….
The sad part is Barber was doing good on both the screen and runs so I dont know what the hell Garrett was thinking.
November 16th, 2009 at 7:09 pmTEXAS,
I completely agree..Barber had like 3 carries for 17 or so yards on the first drive then had only 2 more the rest of the game..How pathetic is that…And there is no excuse for JG like well we were down by 21 points bs….He abandoned the run when it was 0-0…..Idiot…
November 16th, 2009 at 7:29 pmI just read a good article Mickey Spangnola wrote at dallascowboys.com. Its called Just Got To Be Kidding if you are interested in reading it. Anyways he talk about all the bad calls and I did not notice how bad it really got. I can’t believe how bad the refs have become.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:13 pmYeah the refs ruined all momentum.
And we did run screen plays…. They just went for 4 yards because they were to MARION BARBER. Our slowest running back who looks especially slow, even still, after that injury.
LandryHat… No shout out to Patrick Crayton? I mean he’s the only thing about that game that made me smile. Wish he played on that level every day. I know it was “What Hurt the Cowboys” but I think he deserved an honorable mention =P
November 16th, 2009 at 9:31 pmI think all the holding penalties the Packers had was a bunch of BS. It really kept our defense from creating any turnovers. They even look like they wanted to hold every time from keeping them from getting to Rodgers. Poor game I don’t even want to talk about it anymore. It was a mess from the start. Lets just hope Garrett get a hint this time around, but thats just wishful thinking.
