I think it’s important to show who they beat in these last few games… there schedule got a lot easier down the stretch.

 

[Bardley1985]

They lost to the Giants and Bucs, before beating Vikes, Bears & Panthers.

only thing i am worried about is the run game of the packers.

 

[ChrisL97]

Aaron Jones is the key to that team. They'll screen us to death with Jones.

 

[Roland]

I am looking forward to this match up. Get another monkey off our backs

I’m always worried about our run defense.

Micah has to line up at LB in this game. He has to shadow A Jones on 1st and 2nd down. Stop them on 1st and 2nd and earn the right to rush the passer.

Yep very important. And he can help with love’s mobility. I like Micah lined up at lb…. You can’t take him out of the play as easily. When he’s on the edge it’s easy for teams to run away from him or double and triple him.

In the middle he can still rush the passer over the guard center or drop back. He’s a great chess piece… to just stick him on the edge all game I hate. You can still rush him on sure passing downs.

With big Hank back as well it’ll definitely help with the run d.

They also throw a lot of short horizontal passes. We will need Micah’s speed side line to side line. The Packers weakness is 3rd and long. I know it’s most teams weakness but GB’s offense completely falls apart if you hold them to 3rd and plus 7

This is the biggest playoff game in the history of the franchise. The Joneses ability to build Super Bowl caliber team , Dak’s legacy, MM’s job security, and Micah becoming a LT type of player is all on the line. Green Bay seems to have a hold on us especially with their head coach and running back. The Cowboys should be focused.

And we all know that Dallas is great covering backs out of the backfield.

This biggest game in the history of the franchise?! There might be a few others ahead of this game on that list. Maybe 1 or 2

That would be critical. If we can do that, we have a shot.

So … Jordan Love. This, quite possibly, is the best quarterback in the NFC in the last half of the season. The Pack’s 6-2, and Love’s thrown 18 touchdowns to one pick in those eight games.

I predict that barring ref interference, the Cowboys are going to blow out the Packers.

 

[MyFairLady]

So happy Rodgers is gone. This is our time to make then suffer.

 

[Redline360]

Absolutely no reason we shouldn't beat the Packers by 2 scores.

A Jones is the key to shutting them down.

 

[Swagger]

It's an easy game and at home.
