No Rodgers and an average D. I feel very good about our chances.
Will they still be holding with impunity though? That was something I attributed to them being media darlings and having a marquee QB but now that Rodgers is gone maybe that's changed?

Most of their fans are very confident that they'll win. And I have no problem with that.

The thing that stuck with me the most is that they keep bringing up past wins over us as a reason they should beat us....

....but don't seem to understand that they had Aaron "The Devil Himself" Rodgers as a QB back then. :laugh:


I have nothing against Jordan Love, but I really hope we destroy them.
Yeah and Bart Star when they beat us in the ice bowl .
I'm sure that all factors into it for those moron cheeseheads.

Most important thing I'll go on record saying is that we're not playing in America's version of Siberia that God forsaken lambeau Field.

I'd be happy if we never ever played a game there again

If we decide to not show up, sure they could beat us.

I don’t think a 2 seed has lost the 2/7 game since this format has started.

Then again we were the first one seed to lose in the previous format. Then pulled it off once more.

Great.

I was surprised to see that the Cowboys and Packers are tied 4-4 in the playoffs. However, they’ve beaten us the last two times they faced us in postseason. We beat them three straight years in the 90s on the way to our 3 SB wins.

Look, if I were a fan of a team playing the Cowboys, given the postseason track record of late, I'd be confident too.

Gotta get pressure on Love. You can't let him sit back there. He can do real damage. LaFleur is an underrated play designer. He's going to have some things for us, for sure.
Our track record has us winning the wildcard round.

They have every right to feel that way. They are playing some good football. Some of their strengths don't mesh well with our weaknesses.

I think this is one of those games where we need the defense to show up and special teams. Packers are very capable of passing all over this defense.

I was extremely confident we would beat Rodgers in 2016 when we were the 1 seed. That Green Bay team wasn't that good compared to years past and Atlanta exposed that the next week after we lost.

I get Rodgers was the one who owned us but I remember their backup torching us I believe in 2012 or 2013 at home. Believe we blew a huge lead.

Weird stuff happens when we play Green Bay. Anything that can go wrong, does.

We are for sure the better team and should win but who knows what will happen.

..its that confirmation bias thing. You only see, what you want to see.

I wont say, Dallas is going to blow them out.

But we are the better team. If Dallas brings the A game. We win.
Kind of tough to cal Bc looks like greenbay getting better and their most seasoned wide receiver is 24(Watson).

Sometimes randomly a no name wide receiver gives us a tough time. I could see Green Bay making us nervous early.

Need to play Mistake free !

We match up well with them. Of all the teams in the playoffs— this is the best matchup we could have asked for
We will beat the convincingly. Reed and Aaron Jones are their primary threats. As long as we lock down Reed I don't see Jones blowing us up. Watson can be dangerous but he's been hurt so often who knows.

We have played much better offenses the last month and while we haven't always come out on top I think the tough schedule to end the year was good for this team.

More so I expect us to have a few long, time consuming drives and keep them off the field with TOP. Their D can match up.

Me too. And last year. I just had to reluctantly admit that Aaron Rodgers owns us last year.

This second curse has left the building too when they traded him.

He’s also gone on record as a Dak Fan this year whitch completely obliterated the curse.

This is what worries me about the playoffs. I don't see any team left that can't have their way with our defense. All it takes is a few bad possessions in a row and we could be looking at a big deficit.

Offense is going to have be clicking because I don't trust to lean on this defense in the playoffs at all.

Need to pressure Love all game.

Yeah but we sucked that year and I don't recall having any hope for the season going into that one. The come back didn't suprise me. We were done before that game started. I actually turned down free luxury box tickets because it wasn't worth calling off sick that season.

Most of the weird things had a lot to do with simply not being able to stop Aaron Rodgers.

Their extreme youth should typically be a liability in the post season.

Not only does their team lack playoff experience, they lack any experience.

That should show in both big and small moments in the game.

I have confidence that our vets and our coaches have enough experience and success together to win this game.

Yep, Rodgers owns us like he owns the Bears.

The only recent win I remember against Green Bay is Dak's rookie year. When we went on the road without Dez and dominated them. Every other game I can remember against GB is a loss.

I think more than confidence in their own team, - they have "historically recent" been better than us. And yes, history does not count and what is in the past is in the past, Just as in the 90s where we Owned them and Favre many many times.


I think it was more to do with the Cowboys almost always choking when it matters

Straight up, and don't reply to this with the holier-than-thou BS, I hope I see a Packers fan act stupid and get handled.
