McCarthy in general I think likes trickery -- I've seen some odd stuff from the Packers this year including various fake kicks, throwing to Julius Peppers, odd plays out of reverse wishbones, etc etc

Add to that they've had two weeks to prepare and add and practice a few trick plays.

Reading this morning it looks like the Ravens where big time confused when the Patriots only used 4 offensive lineman yesterday (6 recievers, only 5 of them eligble). Seemed to work for the Patriots.

My point is the Cowboys should be ready for it. It would suck for the game to be decided on a trick play like the Ravens game was by a WR pass (ie Edelman's TD throw).

Wouldn't surprise me to see an early onsides kick IF they score a TD.

As long as we stay disciplined on defense, we'll be alright. I'll take any play where they take the ball out of the hands of Aaron Rodgers.

"Go out and HIT Rogers....... And then again on the next play "

Trick calf is hurt play. Rodgers acts as if it gives out, and starts to go down. Hoping defense eases up. Then he either takes off running, or pulls up and throws it deep.

I say to the defense, no matter what happens, keep pursuing until you hear that whistle.....

I don't know if it's actually against the rules to do that, but it would seem like something that could be called unsportsmanlike and result in 15 yards.

That game wasn't decided by that trick play. That is like saying the Detroit game was decided on the non-PI call on Hitchens last week.

Has Garrett ever really run a trick play? I think the closest thing to me was that onsides kick against the Commanders.

I wonder if he doesn't pull one out of the bag early like a flea flicker or Dez on a reverse throwing deep to TWill.

Sure he has! The reverse to Miles for years always worked and faked everybody out! :D

I wouldn't be surprised. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a trick play from the Cowboys today. Like Dez throwingthe ball on a gadget play.
