Jason Garrett gets knocked; Jerry Jones gets knocked; But the fact is they build and coached a team most of the "experts" pissed on into a contender.

Just the same, Garrett did fuck up big time on 3rd and 1, throwing long instead of handing it to Murray late in the first half. That Packer FG after the Cowboy miss was the turning point of the game IMO.

As we've learned in the past, the best way to keep a controversial call from costing your team a game is not be in a position where a controversial call can cost you a game.

This has been the formula I've been advocating for our team as well as it seems quite simple. Give Rodgers a killer line in front of him and watch him pick the other team apart.

As I have said, though, for this year, I'd sell the farm to grab Melvin Gordon in the first round - who IMO might just be to RBs what Rodgers is to QBs.

I disagree about Murray being downhill from here. It's a matter of injuries and wear and tear, and he didn't seem to get beat up too bad even with all the carries. I do think, though, he's a product of his line to a great extent. He'd have about half as many yards running behind the Packer O Line.
