Is anyone better at choking in the playoffs than the Cowboys?

Lions

Trent Dilfer won a super bowl

Did you just bring up a reference from 16 years ago? 😀

Lions

The Lions just lose early in the game. The Cowboys fumble extra point snaps and give up plays like Jared Cook's.

Go chiefs!

I don't see how you call overcoming an 18 point deficit a choke... but I can't believe they spiked the ball on their last drive, effectively burning a down when they still had a timeout. There was :48 left. That's too much time to waste a down like that. At the very least that should have gone to OT.

So Alabama lost the natty and Dallas went one and done? Been a great postseason so far.

31 points against a good D

This was on the D though. Prescott did nothing wrong.

I wasn't saying he played poorly tonight. I was talking about picking who's going to win playoff games (always go with the better QB when it comes to the playoffs).

Dallas has choked a lot in the playoffs (when they have made it, which hasn't been all that often over the last 20 years) but this wasn't one of those games.

Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest QBs who has ever lived.

Georgia Dome gets one more game.

If Atlanta wins next week and wins the super bowl somehow, and plays the season opener in that new stadium, Arthur Blank would die from a heart attack.

Big stop by the Chiefs, holding them to three.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

Green Bay may win it all. They are just playing unbelievable football right now.

I agree. I thought Prescott played well, definitely good enough to win the game. The Dallas defense just gave up too many big plays.

Prescott was great... so were Elliott and Bryant. Everyone will focus on the 36 yard pass with :03 left but a huge play early in the game was the 15 yard unsporstmanlike conduct penalty on the WR Butler for participating in the huddle but not the play (a cheap call, if you ask me). Terrance Williams had caught a long pass down to the 15. That penalty took the Cowboys back to their own 48 and they wound up punting. That definitely cost the Cowboys points at a point in the game when GB was rolling.

Always? Disagree. Go with the better D would do you right.

Sometimes you have to dig deep to make a point

Their defense is still a liability. For them to win Rodgers has to be perfect or nearly so. Fortunately for them he has been so far.

Huh? Wilson is better and Wilson won

Did you seriously just say that Eli won 2 rings because of his defense?

True. I do think he might be able to out score Atlanta, but not the Pats or Steelers.

No. I said he beat Tom Brady twice. You think he's the better QB.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

You think Kaep was the best QB in the NFC? Or Wilson in the NFC?

He said always take the better QB. How'd those guys get to the SB on that theory?

 

[WarDamnVols]

whelp. time to go drink myself into a coma.

go falcons and chiefs i guess.

 

[NashVol11]

You think Kaep was the best QB in the NFC? Or Wilson in the AFC?

I'm just saying "Kaep vs. Wilson" is a bad example. Are you talking about Flacco? Because his postseason run was maybe the best ever by a QB

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

No. I said he beat Tom Brady twice. You think he's the better QB.

Ok. I just don't understand the point of the post. The Pats had better D's overall than the Giants in both SB's. What the Giants did have was an amazing pass rush and Strahan/Umenyiora and then Tuck/JPP knocked Brady on his azz all game long.
