the spike was after a first down IIRC, so I wouldn't have wasted a TO on it either, TO give you options for running plays down near the goal line when going for a TD.

They sacked Rogers forcing a 3rd and 20+ and Rogers just made a great play to put them in FG range

Yep, if Rodgers doesn't make that play, everyone would be talking about the

That Rodgers did not fumble on the sack is a feat of amazing talent

You can blame it on their decision to play a Rookie at QB yesterday - the issue

You're blaming the QB? he had a higher rating than rodgers

They had 2 TO...I agree with you if they only had 1. They ended up trying to

If you actually read my post- the blame was the slow start and the 21-3 score

Combination of 1st playoff game and 3 weeks since last meaningful action

Before the season no one expected the Cowboys to be Super Bowl contenders
