Bolt....you've been around long enuff to know anything can happen in football. If the play had stood as called on the field and (let's say for instance) the Boys put it in the endzone on the next play or so to go up 28-26.....who's to say the Packers score again?
Sure, Rodgers was hot in the 4th quarter, that's a given. But even so, what he'd done up until that point doesn't mean he leads the Pack on a drive to win the game. They could bog down (ie: penalty, sacked, fumble, etc). What if they have to settle for kicking the go ahead / winning field goal and Crosby simply misses it? Or the Cowboys block it and return it for a TD to ice the game?
That said, if the Dez "non"-catch had taken place early in the game, then it's very easy to say that overturned call doesn't directly affect the final outcome (if there was more than a half left to play, for instance). But late as it was....when the game was most definitely hanging in the balance....with approx 4 minutes remaining on the game clock? C'mon....it's really difficult to make your argument "this call didn't cost them the game" stand up.

Aaron Rodgers was getting hot.
Just like the call last week didn't cost the Lions the game, neither did this cost the Cowboys.
Step back away from the NFL bad call beer goggles.
