if they were any good, they would've clinched their division and playoff spot last week like the Pats did.
Is it forgivable that we did that this week, in a division that isn't quite as bad as NE's?

on the contrary. i think they actually showed while they are the class of the NFC they are miles behind the Patriots (at least 2TD dogs). i mean come on aaron rodgers almost led a comeback. the defense is highly valnurable.
Yeah, but that's understandable. The Cowboys didn't watch any tape on Rodgers (there isn't any to watch anyway, the guy has never played a full game) and were game planning on Favre who never gets hurt. Rodgers is a completely different QB too. A Mobile, dink and dunk passer, while Favre is a pocket passer who can throw the ball from end zone to end zone. The Grant TD run was only allowed because of stupid penalties. And people can talk about how bad our defense played, but the Cowboys played the third best offense in the league, I can understand how they're going to make them look bad.

The refs handed T.O. that turnover... there was that PI call that was reeeaaally questionable... Farve died... I could go on...
The PI wasn't really questionable. The fact of the matter is that if Ref's don't start calling those as PI every player in the NFL is going to start making "incidental" contact when they are beat deep. You could tell if you watch it that the guy just ran up under Hurd and stuck his legs under him.
We also got some bad calls. Ware got an offsides on a play where he sacked Favre, and forced a fumble where it was pretty clear he wasn't offside, but rather that beast of a man got an amazing jump on the snap.
Oh, and we killed Favre ourselves, so that can't really be a big part of the arguement.
