The Cowboys came into Lambeau Field with a four game winning streak, the hottest receiver in the NFL in Miles Austin, a quarterback in Tony Romo that was playing lights out, and a high-powered offense. That usually equals domination, correct? Wrong! We left that field with a loss, a laundry list of injuries and an empty feeling, just the opposite of a win. Last week against the Eagles, I blogged about how we won as a team and worked perfectly together. This week, ironically, we lost as a team. You cannot put blame on anyone for this loss. We had several opportunities to make plays and we blew them. Sure, you can say Roy E. Williams dropped a wide open pass and he fumbled, but he had 105 yards and set-up a couple of scores. Our O-Line, even before Colombo got hurt, wasn't protecting AT ALL, Nick Folk missed an easy short yardage field goal that would've given us the first lead, Romo threw a COSTLY interception at the goal line and we lost several fumbles that led to Packers scores. This loss can't be blamed on anyone except the Dallas Cowboys.

Player of the Game goes to...
I have to give it to Aaron Rodgers. He was playing with poise and didn't crack.

Play of the Game goes to...
Charles Woodson's strip of Roy E. Williams, which was basically the monkey wrench play

Highlights
Side Notes.....
Right Tackle Marc Colombo left the game with a broken left fibula. He hasn't been ruled out for the season yet...Free Safety Ken Hamlin left the game with a groin injury. He will be out 3-4 weeks...This loss snapped Dallas' four game winning streak...The Cowboys have had at least 3 sacks in seven straight games...Romo is still the winnignest Cowboys quarterback at Lambeau field despite being only 1-1 there.
Next Week's Opponent:
Washington Redskins (3-6) @ Cowboys Stadium
