Anomaly, I think. They were ranked #5 in both points allowed and yards allowed. ---

I’m too nervous, and seen too many comebacks against the Packers, to actually say anything other than the team, and Matt LaFleur have really impresssed me so far. ---

Dallas back in it! Packers storm down the field - touchdown. ---

Oh dear! That could be an expensive miss. ---

Touchdown Dallas! But a penalty against Dallas on the 2-point conversion, so now they’re trying for a 1-point conversion. Which failed. Dallas can’t catch a break. GB, 34; Dallas, 16. ---

Huh… 2 point conversion undone by penalty, then 1-point attempt doinked. Got to be frustrating. And then the Packers just _blast_ right back across… ---

Luke Musgrave was so wide open on that TD, there wasn’t a Cowboy even in view on the TV screen. ---

Ahh the old 1/2 secondary . Which is "leave half the field uncovered " pioneered by The Detroit Defense in 2008. ---

Jerry Jones hasn’t been this upset since they desegregated his high school. ---

Fork. Done. ---

This may be the most disastrous loss in the history of the Cowboys. I cannot see how Mike McCarthy has a job tomorrow; Dan Quinn may have coached himself out of a new gig as well. ---

I guess I know who the 49ers are playing next week. ---

And the Dallas touchdown at the end of the 1st half should have been called back on a false start. ---

I wonder if we’ll have a scorigami. ---

Well, now with that Dallas TD and a 2-point conversion, it’s becoming a game. But there isn’t a helluva lot of time left. GB, 48; Dallas, 32. And 3:18 left to play. ---

The Packers may have taken their collective foot off the gas pedal a little too early here. ---

Wow, no intent to offend, But Jerry Jones looks crushed and surrendered at this point. I’ll give 5-to-1 he gives up leadership(or dies) before 2024 season starts. ---

AT&T Stadium shall be renamed Jordan Love Field at Lambeau South. Green Bay is still undefeated at JerryWorld. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-2023-wildcard-weekend/995866.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-2023-wildcard-weekend/995866.md?page=10)
