I agree the Packers are the biggest test in the nfc. If they can't beat the Packers they wouldnt beat the pats or Pitt in the sb.

If the Packers win on Sunday it's looking like it could be the Packers/Pats in the SB. Atlanta can score but gives up too many points to overcome all the TD's Rodgers can throw. Seattle's only chance against the Packers would be having home field, they need their 12th man.

That would be a marquee matchup.

I would hope they could find a way to beat just one guy, because that's what the Packers are. Their entire team is predicated on Rodgers' success

If it can't be us, that would be a great matchup with 2 first ballot HOF locks that have multiple league MVP's going head to head in the SB.

Biggest test will be playoff pressure, GB has been there done that, us, not so much. I think our rookies will be OK, they don't know any better, some of the vets may feel it worse. We are a better overall team, need to play loose and we should win.

If Cowboys can get past the Packers, then they make the Super Bowl . I think they can beat any one once there but may struggle if they face KC.

The packers are the scariest team in my opinion. The reason is because of the hype Rodgers is getting.

I've been reading comments on people arguing who the greatest is between Rodgers and Brady.

The NFL will b licking its chops for that potential match up, BRADY VS RODGERS.

Rodgers and Brady are not getting any younger so that match up should happen soon. DAK and the boys are young so the NFL can afford to leave them brewing.

Just hope the refs don't screw the Cowboys over.

If there is a tinfoil hat conspiracy in the NFL, I'd imagine at least for this year, the league would best be served with the Boys in the Superbowl to offset the low ratings this season had. The NFL needs to show it can put up record breaking ratings still and a Cowboys-Patriots Superbowl would do just that.

But if the powers that be just couldn't stand Jerry going to another SB, I could see Packers-Patriots being an option.

So if the NFL is indeed fixed, hopefully sanity will prevail and the Boys will go to the big dance. And if it is not fixed, then the Boys also have a real decent chance to get to the SB. Win-win IMO.

Don't get the GB hype. Atlanta is just as good on offense, or better

Main difference is unlike Matt Ryan and the Falcons, Rodgers and the Packers have proven it in the postseason. And GB just dismantled what some felt was the best defense in the playoffs, at least in the NFC. Granted this is a different year and I'm not discounting the Falcons, but I'd put my money on Rodgers over Matt Ryan any day.

I don't think it's fixed but some teams do seem to get the calls especially at critical moments.
I think the league would be happy with any matchup involving Dallas/GB vs NE/Pittsburgh. Almost guaranteed one of those two from the AFC makes it to the SB. NFC is a little more wide open because the Falcons/Seattle winner would have a good shot vs. Dallas/GB winner.

Blah blah blah..that's what everyone said about the Giants..

Oh the Giants are a different story come playoff time..Eli is a beast in the playoffs..blah blah blah

The Packers literally have one player that we have to just slow down enough...this was definitely the best option for the Dallas Cowboys..I said it all week and I stand by it...

Cowboys and their fans should be excited they drew the Packers..we rolled them in GB and this game won't be all that much different

I'm not worried about anyone. Period. Let them be worried. Worried that Zeke will embarrass their defense with a 200+ yard performance. Let them be worried that for the first time all year, we have ALL of our D-linemen healthy, & that when they went down, we were playing some of the best defense in the league. Guess what-they're baaaaack!!! You don't think that Mr. Rodgers doesn't have visions of David Irving wrecking his world? Let all of the teams left be concerned that a rookie QB will make them look foolish by passing for 300+ & running for 100+ yards on them. I believe in this team. So, bring it on!

Main difference was while GB started off slow NY did nothing in terms of putting points on the board offensively. Dallas offense will need to come out and putting the ball in the endzone and force Rodgers to take some big risk in the game.
