Anyone one else having this feeling?

The Green Bay game is shaping up to be the "Seattle" moment for the season. Green Bay may not be on the level Seattle was in 2014, but it's still The Packers @Home. There may still be some doubters despite the performance against the Bengals, but I think winning or maybe even winning convincingly at Lambeau would put the league on official notice. Compared to years past I think Green Bay looks more like a pretender this year, but that will not be the story line coming out of the game if Zeke runs wild, Dak keeps doing his thing, and the defense continues to play over their heads.

I thought that.. Then looked at the schedule.. We have about 3 "Seattle games" on our schedule.


We still got the Steelers, and Vikings.

 

[Craig]

If they win this game, the story will have to be the defense. right there with prescott as the biggest surprise.

Believe !

Actually I think you may be wrong. If the Cowboys win against the Packers, people will say the Packers aren't the same Packers they have been and then start pointing to the Eagles game as the true test of rather or not these Cowboys are pretenders. I for one hope they continue to think they are pretenders all the way up to the Super Bowl...and beyond....

 

[landroverking]

Don't think Green Bay will tells us much, One way or the other.
Shelages may not either. Vikes the real test.

Sorry but Steelers or Vikings is not a "Seattle" game. The Seattle game was big because they were the defending champs on the road. We were trying to prove ourselves earlier in the year.

By the time we get to those games, we will already know who we are. Also, the Steelers defense is not even close to what Seattle's was.

 

[Craig]

The eagles game is definitely not the true test. Before the season i would have circled the bengals packers and steelers games. I dont want to be someone moving goal posts, but the bengals win makes you look at that team as bad. They lost to the colts and jags. Maybe they end up being good maybe not. You never know the strength of your wins(or losses) till the end of the season. right now minnesota looks like the biggest game on the schedule. I wouldnt have guessed that to be the case without ap or bradford and maybe it ends up not being that big. Im rambling.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Trouncing the Bengals without Dez has me thinking that we can beat anyone on any given Sunday. We are contenders in the NFC.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Vikes are for real. It goes to show a different system can make a qb look better. Sam is looking decent on the vikes. Doesn't hurt that they have a mean defense as well. Defense defense defense

To address the OP, we beat the Pack, Eagles, and Vikes, then we will be Super Bowl favorites.

Not me. Seattle was unbeatable especially at home. GB isn't thought of that way.

Who lost to the Colts and Bengals? Nobody we have played.

What those two games will tell us is we're able to compete with the vast majority of the teams out there in the NFC. Beat the Vikes, and we move from after thought to contender to an NFC favorite. The Vikes are legit.

And I'm not saying I think we can beat the Vikes, btw. I do think anything goes with GB this year. I can easily see us win that game. The Eagles I have a lot harder time sorting out how good I think they are. This game against the Sk*ns this week will tell us a lot about what they're really made of.

The Steelers offense at home is dang near unbeatable.

Agreed. The only team I'd rather not play right now is the Patriots...and actually I think we can beat them like you say any given Sunday

 

[ragman]

If the Cowboys don't get in Rodgers's face on Sunday, he'll slice and dice our secondary like he did in the second half of the Cowboys-Packers game in 2014.

Remember that?

The coverage is much better now as opposed to then. DLaw will also be in full swing.

That was a bad day and a bad memory.

Green Bay will be tough at home but l think the Eagles have been over rated and this solid Cowboy team beats them.

 

[plasticman]

The Packers are the next step.

From here on out, just about every week will be seen as the next step. As long as the offense executes and the defense improves, they have no limit.
