Ice Bowl II

[perrykemp]

It's current 4 degrees in Green Bay.

The good news -- it's projected to be a balmy 23 degrees on Sunday!

I expect a heavy dose of Murray.

Time to go BACK to running.

Somebody better break out the Hawaiian Tropic.

We can't create threads so i am posting this here...

Michael Strahan should be ashamed. He refused to give the Cowboys any credit and instead just wanted to talk about the PI flag that was picked up. What an absolute joke of a sportscaster. Stick to you fat Jared commercials and daytime talk shows, clown.

Even 4 degrees is far from an ice bowl.

I believe it was a similar projection back in 67. The weather was a balmy 20 something the day before the game and the weather forcast was for a front to come in but after the game. They were wrong!

All those years in the 90s Packer fans complained and groused that every time the team met, it was in Dallas. And the Cowboys won.

Looks like they finally got their wish due to the 3-way tiebreaker.

The real question is who would really poor conditions / bitter cold favor?

Not sure the Packer's passing game runs optimally in that kind of weather.

We are built to win this type of game.

Normally I would agree, but I think Aaron Rodgers would laugh in your face and then go throw for 400 and 3TD.

The Cowboys can win the game, but they must control the LOS and the clock.

Yeah its weird. I mean, on the one hand, they're 8-0 at home this year. On the other hand, they haven't been great there in the playoffs in recent years.

I feel like the cold weather gives us a bit of an edge.

Need our o-line to do something they haven't done in the past month- step up. Have to play better.

 

[perrykemp]

I think the x-factor is how well the Cowboys can contain Lacy. He ran it pretty well against Detroit. Packers have probably the 2nd best OL in the NFC so the battle in the trenches in this game is going to be key.

They had a good second half today. Detroit's defense is the best in the NFL and that's no joke.

 

[RastaRocket]

I think our team is built for the cold more so than Green Bay.

Agreed, plus hopefully Doug Free is back next week.

 

[perrykemp]

I wonder if the Cowboys have sort of plan of arriving early in GB and acclimating.

Jordy Nelson could be a problem as well.

Jordy Nelson could be a problem as well.

Conditions will scream for good TE play. The Packers don't have a TE who could even make the Cowboys.

Advantage Cowboys.
