It's usually tough to extract wins at Lambeau Field but GB has been very fortunate in playing far less intimidating run offenses than ours.

It might be interesting to take notice of exactly where the Packers' run defense stands in that area after we're finished with them Sunday.

Like most I am very interested to see how this plays out.
That game where the Giants manhandled our offensive line still haunts me.
My hope is that our play calling has improved enough that we can adjust during the game to avoid that playing out again.

Like another poster I am expecting GB to sell out to stop the run. With Dez out again I'm sure they feel T Will, Besley, and Butler shouldn't be able to hurt them enough. Of coups I though the Bengals would do this also and you see how we carved them up.

I'm thinking that GB may feel they don't need to resort to stacking the LOS to thwart our run game with their defense. In any case, it likely remains to be seen what they do or don't do to handle what we bring. Hopefully, we'll be prepared to make the necessary adjustments to offset whatever comes our way in terms of their defense. I believe both teams might very well be tested about as much as they have all season. Whoever wins should reap the great benefits of a hard-earned victory. I'm just hoping it will be our team that enjoys a glorious result. Godspeed, Cowboys!

The Giants have an enormous middle of their defensive line. The Cowboys struggled with it. They may struggle again.

Week one of every season is full of games that show something to not hold through the year. I doubt the Dallas O-Line struggles in their next game vs the giants

Lots of underestimating GBs D in here. Regardless of what rank those teams are rushing, GB has held them to crazy low numbers. And it is not just total yards either. They are holding teams to about half the YPC they are getting vs. other teams.

Detroit is top 10 YPC when you factor out the GB game.
