[Baron von Kriterium]

Much has been discussed about Bryant's catch/no catch and, as a Cowboys' fan since the early 70s, I am not too crazy about the outcome. However, the refs got the call right as far as the dopey rule goes.

Now, as is normal with the Cowboys, they had several instances where they could have cemented this thing away but blew it. They mismanaged the game at the end of the first half. On 3rd and one, Romo audibled and it didn't work out. What was the original play? Then, the normally safe Bailey missed the field goal. Rogers makes a couple of plays and GB gets a field goal themselves. So, at the minimum, a six point swing right there.

Opening the second half, the Cowboys stopped GB and were moving to score when Murray fumbles. If he got by Peppers, he had one guy to beat. So Rogers gets the ball back in great field position and away they go.

Dallas's D was horrible on third downs and allowed a 46-yard TD on 3rd and 15.

Dallas got the benefit of an iffy PI call in the endzone in the first half.

On Dallas's last drive, Romo took a sack on 2nd down. He had time to heave that where no one could catch it. Instead, 3rd down play comes out a couple of yards short leading to the Bryant play. But why would the Cowboys go for a high risk pass in that situation. It looked like Beasley was open. But it also looked like GB defenders may have obstructed Romo's view to Beasley. However, and in hindsight, it seems that going for the kill at that point was not a good decision as it would have given too much time back to Rodgers and, by this stage of the game, he was torching Dallas D. On the other hand, if the chance to score presents itself, you have to take it; you just never know.

Dallas started well but too many mistakes added up. Kind of like what happened to Detroit last week.
