I realize with such a close loss, you can point to almost anything which favors the cowboys and conclude it would've changed the outcome:
* 38 yard penalty on butler likely cost us the game
* What if they called holding on the last pass by rogers (would've send game to OT but not assured a win)
* gone for it on first drive (3rd and 2)
* on last drive if we'd not spiked it (or ran on third and fourth instead of throwing and kicking)
* The league hadn't suspended gregory
My question is, would we have won if they would've drafted the best DE in the draft instead of Jaylon smith? I still feel using a high pick (34th) on someone who you don't get anything from for at least a year (risky beyond that). I think if they took Noah Spence, they win that game and possibly the SB. Big mistake IMHO.
