Breaking down the Green Bay Packers

[Hawkeye19]

We beat the Lions and Chiefs, but whatever. You were talking all this same stuff in 2016.

Lol… We beat the Lions too. And KC is hardly a juggernaut.

And 2016? Let’s see what happens when you don’t have NFL darling Rodgers getting the benefit of refs never calling his OL for holding lol

It’s payback time and we are gonna shred your cheeseheads on Sun my friend

Sure, im not telling you to be scared. I am confident in my team however. Stop with the nonsense officiating complaints, you are a Cowboys fan lol. All successful teams and players get accused of officiating bias, that is how you know you have made it.

This time we have the young inexperienced team and QB, and you guys have the veteran who just had the best QB season in the league. Should be fun.

 

[CowboysLegend365]

My thought is the Cowboys want the ball first if they have the opportunity. Prefer not letting the Packers score first and somehow think they have a shot -- they are too young to know any better.

I like this idea as well, but I am more confident in this team’s ability to punch back than previous ones.

I think the Seattle game has me feeling that way. Wasn’t a pretty performance, but fought and got out with a W.

Can’t wait. Will definitely be fun.

Cowboy should smack the hell out of the Packers. This is the matchup you wanted. Young inexperienced group of players....no excuse to lose to this team.

 

[FloridaRob]

since everything Jordan Love does this year is compared to Aaron Rodgers and in all cases has surpassed his 1st year starting I thought we should view his 1st year as a playoff QB. Rodgers was 26 of 42 for 400+ yards and 4 TD. I predict JL throws for 400 plus yards 5 Tds no pics. Game is won 48 to 45 on a field goal of 52 yards. Not sure yet who kicks the field goal.

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.

History of the franchise - you don't know much history!

 

[LonnieElam]

Man, I almost forgot how much I freaking hate Packers fans, and their stupid cheese hats. They're one of the most annoying fan bases.

 

[chagus]

The packers BARELY beat Carolina? Panthers drop 30 points on that defense? I think Dallas will be ok. Matter of fact... it might even be a blowout IF Dallas runs the ball well.

Maybe recent history.

 

[TheHerd]

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

Wow, that's a juggernaut last 5 games.

 

[nightrain]

I can laugh now at the Commanders first play from scrimmage yesterday. A reverse that had Armstrong, who gave up contain to chase an inside play fake, looking around for the ball carrier after he blew right by him. The Packers are going to provide a big dose of misdirection and off schedule plays.

 

[TheHerd]

GB is a paper tiger. Talk about teams padding their record with weak wins lol

This is the game I wanted. Time to pay GB back for some playoff losses. Everybody is scared about Aaron Jones lol

I had the cat on my fantasy team and he did jack squat this year bc he is always knicked up.

DQ will have the D ready, and Dak and the offense will continue to roll at home. No one is overlooking anyone in the playoffs. GB is about to get smacked because Dallas is simply the better team and they are focused on this opportunity.

Why fear Aaron Jones? Here's what he's done the last three games we've played them. Granted these aren't all this month, but man:

24-138-1 TD
19-107-4 TD
19-125-1 TD

What were our defenses like when he put those numbers up? Exactly.

He has a lot of wear on those tires now. His body is starting to break down. He is a weapon, but we have played against better RBs this year.

The run D has improved since Buffalo. Dallas is dialed in. There are no guarantees in football— but nobody is looking past anyone in the playoffs.

Things have broken just right for Dallas the last two weeks. They are at home with momentum. Dak is balling. The D is legit. The guys are hungry and focused.

Dallas 34
GB 17

I also think we should roll, but there history to the Aaron Jones fear. Those were probably his best games in each of those seasons.

No question. Jones has had some big games against us.

But we are due some payback. Home field advantage is finally a real thing again in Dallas.

This team will be hyped and balling on Sunday. DQ will have some special looks for Love… pressure, sacks, and turnovers.

Dak and the offense will be ready to rock.

 

[Pipelayer72]

GB is ranked 28 in run defense. The Cowboys have to establish the run game. Pollard's performance and effort was very encouraging yesterday. GB is a pass oriented offensive team. Maintain pressure on Love and don't allow the Packers receivers to burn the Cowboys secondary. It should be a high scoring game and a competitive one but I believe the Cowboys run game and offense will show up big. If the defense holds them to 24 or under I believe the Cowboys win. GB does have some recently activated players that have been productive so that makes game planning more difficult. Go Cowboys!!!

Anyone else think that there’s a real good shot that if Love wasnt able to sit for as long as he did he would be elsewhere by now with his career on the line?

Many guys are taken with top picks but simply aren’t ready to play…but teams have no real choice as they want to turn things around immediately, and owners don’t want to pay big money for someone to wear a ball cap.

Considering all that, plus how QB salaries have escalated out of hand, the league may consider giving in elsewhere during the next CBA nego to fix this somehow. It’s good for both sides, and good for the league.

I fully believe there would be more quality QBs in the league overall if it was more reasonable to give them time to develop.

I don't know if teams with owners (ie every team that isn't the Packers) have the appetite to sit 1st round QBs for 3 years, however, the "Packers Way" of drafting/developing QBs has really been validated (again) with Love.

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

If you shut the RB down - I love our chances. Key on Jones and don’t get beat deep.
