Game Day Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers | Pregame

[erod]

The Cowboys are ranked last in getting offensive possessions. So if an offense barely gets the ball, how do they score points? Don't lie and say score TDs every possession they get because no offense in the league score TDs on every possession.

So what unit on a football team is responsible for getting the offense the ball back?

16 points at home last week. 20 against the Giants.

Please.

Where are the Cowboys ranked 6 or above on offense? What categories?

Scoring and passing

Looks like we'll get the question. Look, he's not being released, but first, they're gonna probably give him a couple of games in a row with about 25 snaps. Instead of the 10 that he's been getting lately. And maybe he makes more of a difference with more snaps. Maybe this is time to give Von more opportunitys I'm sure how. 10 snaps a game. My location can't get anybody an opportunity to do anything. So it's time to really push him harder. Maybe 25 this game, 30 the next. That's about half the snaps. If he can't handle it, then yes. You have to move on and get you a roster spot, but until they're desperate for a roster spot, they are not going to cut Miller..

I mean he'll probably stay but I think Lawrence is trending the right way and I can see him having a big game!!

NFC east up for grabs.....let's get this!

I’m expecting another 30+ from each team type of game tonight.

For Dallas I have high expectations for lamb once again and it could be a big night for TEs too….GB plays a ton of middle open defenses.

For GB it’s tough to predict because we have no idea of what the coverages look like with JPJ playing a full game. If we get more man to man expect them to try to get the ball to Christian Watson often for chunk plays.

The GB runner Marshawn Lloyd is an interesting player to watch too. The metrics on him are atrocious but his physical skills are good enough where you can’t let him get into the open field or else he may be gone.

Neither team has done great stopping the run this season, but neither team really likes to run either.

Spoiler alert

@Coogiguy03 so, the guy on the left is Johnny, aka karate kid. He sees his best friend, Ponyboy (on the right), being drowned by the rich kids (the docs)and ends up stabbing one of them. The two of them hide in a church and quote poetry.

At the end, Johnny says “Stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold.”

Gotcha I remember the karate kid, stay gold, I like that!!!

Damn

Is today the day the defense comes together?

Considering our defense, ranked laat in “explosive” plays is going up against the offense ranked first in “explosive” plays, I’d say it might not be tonight

So Lawrence is starting over EZ?

16 points at home last week. 20 against the Giants.

Please.

Again.... they are ranked last in offensive possessions. Newsflash!!! That means the more the offense get the ball, the more opportunities we have to score, correct?

Who's job is it to get the offense the ball back?

We know how we like to give players career days, so I wouldn't be surprised!!

A lot of $$$ has come in on Dallas at my sports book. It is now a pick em…..

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Pretty much tailor-made for us to take the division. Starting today, we will see what this franchise is currently made of.

True.
I will be looking for tweaks and new alignments brought forth by Pettine. (As if 1 week is time enough.)

 

[Coogiguy03]

That MP has really made his presence known! Can't take Gary out he's making too much, he's a vet and he knows this team too well lol

But you do realize those snaps would not be coming from? 40 He's not getting any anyway. Those would be coming from Gary and Eazy E. My guess is they'll take. Five or 10 snaps away from each of those guys and distribute them other places..

 

[Davidlee1973]

Is today the day the defense comes together?

No

 

[jazzcat22]

I hate to admit this, but I have no emotions going into this game. I am not geared up for a win nor am I worried about a loss.

I just have zero expectations either way. It took three decades for me to get completely jaded like this. Thank you, Jerry.

Yes, I am still going to watch and still hoping for the best. But man, I just feel so indifferent.

Actually, I kind of feel the same way.
I have no idea what to expect. But kind. Of lean to so sloppy play. As that is what we have seen so far.

I hope they have it corrected.

It's not that he makes too much. He does play more like Tank. He plays the run better. He seems to keep the edge a little better than everyone else. He's had some pretty good games. I mean he really played good the week before the Ravens game and the Ravens game. Can't remember the two games, but he's the better player. But you can take 5 snaps from him. It's not going to be a big deal. Might keep the. Veteran a little more. Energetic and also eazy E take five snaps from him. That's how you can still keep the same rotation, but. You distribute the snaps to different places..

Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in our last 5 games are 0-4-1

2025 Week 8: Lost to SF 30-24
2025 Week 15: Lost to the Vikings 34-26

No, that means they are poor in the red zone. Long drives with 0 or 3 points. It wastes time.
