Dez Bryant reacted just like your typical Cowboys fan while watching Dallas fall behind and lose badly to the Green Bay Packers in their NFC Wild Card playoff game on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Bryant was stunned as the Cowboys fell behind early in the game.
“Idk wtf going on but we really need straighten up” he wrote in a post on X.

“Idk” is an acronym for I don’t know and “wtf” is an acronym for “what the f—.”
Later as things got even worse around halftime, Bryant ripped the team’s playcalling.
“Playing calling trash as f— right now,” Bryant wrote (profanity edited by LBS).
Bryant continued to post throughout the game and started to change his tune, saying he believed the team could make a comeback. Though Dallas did start to come back, it was too little too late.
Dallas fell behind 27-0 before scoring right before halftime. Even though the Cowboys scored two touchdowns in the third quarter, they couldn’t stop Green Bay and allowed the Packers to score two TDs as well. Green Bay led 48-16 in the fourth quarter before Dallas added a few touchdowns to make the 48-32 final look more respectable.
Bryant, who played for the Cowboys from 2010-2017, captured the sentiment of those with the Cowboys. And his specific criticism of the team’s playcalling will probably catch Jerry Jones’ eye.
The first-round playoff exit won’t do wonders for Mike McCarthy’s job status.
