All three of Rodgers picks were on the goal line. That could have been a 21 point swing in that game.
That's what I was thinking. How many times can you count on Rodgers throwing 3 picks in the endzone?

i wouldn't be surprised if we actually have a slow start and halftime ends up being a low score.
i would wonder if we've slowed the pre-snap shifting and motion a bit and some workings in the pass game designs to make it more simplify for the QB.
i can see Dak on the road, in hostile loud Lambeau, inititially having a slow start and first half stall, before sumthin' eventually breaks open to get us out ahead.
(turnovers by the defense,.. Pollard splash play, ..busted coverage in Packers D" or..blocked punt by Bones' special teams)
I think they want to win this one for MM. Remember the Atlanta game last season for Quinn.

Some good points!
-Jones is practicing and is expected to play. Will he be hampered by his injury?
-Larzard/Watkins and their TE after that very suspect. Cobb was his most trusted guy, then Dobbs, both will not be playing.
-Kenny Clark is a very good NT, he is the one I'm most worried about.
-Dak must be careful against their secondary, they have a few solid ball hawks. .
-Think the biggest thing is, don't play their game and keep it close late. Put pressure on their offense to play catch up.

If we really want to find out if center Tyler Biadasz has improved as a starter .. watch the matchup with NT Kenny Clarke.
The lead key to handling a good 3-4 scheme is the center handing the NY by himself, without need for double help.

I think our poor run defense is more about our DE's being too aggressive and not containing the outside.
I don’t think the run game is bad. We stuffed Chicago until it was 28-7. The only strength the Packers have is Jones. He will be stopped. As Rodgers would say “Relax”…..

Certainly a matchup to watch. Think Tyler/Steele have solidified their future roles, but the jury is still out on our Center and LG. Remember what Chris Jones did to us last season with the same starters?

i would think they'd want to win it for themselves as Rodgers & co has handled us in the last two meetings, ironically both times at our own home field and stadium ,
in playoffs in 2016, and i believe in reg season in 2019.

Last time we handled Rodgers and MM, was at Lambeau doing 2016 reg season, ..in Dak and Zeke's rookie years in 2016.

Chris Jones seems to do that to all of his opponents.
He's the 2nd best DT in all of NFL football.

Tampa Bay used the same outside run over and over with great success. They cannot run the football at all against any other team. Washington called similar runs and we struggled.

I have a chance to watch several Packers games this yr: both NY Games, New England, Bucs, Bills. Yes, the Packers are on a 5 game losing streak, but Rodgers has owned the Cowboys throughout his career and you know he will be very motivated to beat his old coach.

Offense

-Packers Defensive is loaded with talent but they haven't played well as a team this season.
-They just like the Cowboy D, struggle stopping the run. Their safeties are poor tacklers in space.
-Alexander is one of the better corners in the league, Douglas has strong ball skills.
-Pass rush lost their best edge rusher in Gary, but are very stout up the middle.
-Packers struggle scoring points, get a lead and they could be in some trouble.

Defense

-Believe it or not, Packers struggle badly throwing the football. Don't take too many deep shots and they drop a ton of passes. Cowboys must watch out for those quick passes and screens.
-Lazard is probably the only receiver Rodgers fully trusts. He is the one receiver to key on. They also have a good receiving TE.
-They have a very good ground attack with 2 capable backs. Jones is more of the outside runner, where Dillion is their power back. Cowboys D must do a better job containing the edge or they will struggle. Really believe if the Cowboys have success against their run, they will win this game!
-Be careful with Rodgers games with 12 men on the field and instances where he will try to draw players offsides, he is a master of this.
-Their OL is close to full health, our front still has the talent to beat them.

Special Teams

-I saw the Jets block a punt, might be a good idea to try to do the same.
AR12 might be struggling but his McCarthy game will have him extra motivated. to beat the DC with MM as HC to break out of slump will have ar12 as ready to play than any other game his season. we will get his best...

Clark is considered one of the best NT's in the league, no not as good as Jones, but can be a game wrecker.

Clark isn't Chris Jones, but I do have concerns about this matchup.

They Shouldn’t get more than 10 points on this d but then this is GB, in GB, with AR and approval to hold all they want. I really wanted GB to win last week bc now they are desperate and the league wouldn’t want GBs relegated to irrelevance this early in the season with another loss. A big win in GB would go a long ways for me personally not believing the league is fixed.

Tampa was healthy and that was the first game of the year. Again the problem with that game was the offense kept getting three and outs. Every team can run the ball when you get rhythm. The Cowboys defense is fine.Washington scored 10 points and healthy Tampa had 19. Tampa when healthy is better then Philadelphia.

GB has a major problem. Their QB demanded to be the top paid and break the 50M barrier and then openly questions the talent they have around him.

Do they think that’s OK with the rest of the team? Unlike Rodgers, they won’t share their displeasure with the media.

Go Google Kurt Warners youtube video of the Packers Lions game. As a Packer fan it was embarrasing, He showed how the WRs kept running the wrong routes, tripping over their own feet and falling down with minimal contact and just royally screwing up. After watching it, the Packers should just cut Sammy Watkins. He has no idean what he is going out there. Rodgers has not played great but watching that video shows Rodgers is right as far as making mistakes by the receivers. Those plays where he is able to complete the pass the receivers drop it. Packers should just run it every play Sunday. Their passing game is embarrasing.

The Pack are 5 point dogs at Lambeau. This will be a tough game to win.
