Looked around a few Packers message boards

[JoeKing]

Aaron Rodgers is the boogie man. Without the boogie man, GB isn't scary. We should whip up real good on these guys, and send a message to all teams that coming to Dallas is your doom.

 

[plasticman]

The Dallas Cowboys probably have one of the most critical and cynical fanbases in all of professional sports. I think they are also one of the most knowledgeable and candid. Other fanbases aren't quite as realistic.

The fans of most NFL teams tend to be far more optimistic and hopeful. This may have something to do with the degree of expectation which is always extreme in the Cowboys case.

The Packers fans have a right to be confident. They have won 6 of the last 7, the only defeat was an overtime loss to the Ravens. However, most have not dug deep enough to anticipate the effect of homefield advantage on the defense.

I mean we lost to them in ‘16 when they had off the street guys starting for them in the secondary, couldnt do anything till the second half

Also had an all-time worse coach

 

[Chocolate Lab]

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

If you're San Francisco, sure.

 

[lukemartin79]

The Packers can’t beat us but the Cowboys can.

BINGO - ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID

 

[Strol]

No Rodgers and an average D. I feel very good about our chances.

Average? Its ranked 27th on DVOA.

SMH, Packer fan here. When did the Packers play the Ravens? I am getting old but I don't think they were on the schedule this year. I don't remember an overtime game either.

Packers defense is going to get shredded. If this game was at Lambeu I could see it but in Dallas no way.

I think he's got the Packers confused with the Rams

 

[Whirlwin]

That’s what happens when you have loyal fans, the even thinking average team is the best. And the team feels the energy. We suck because our fans suck.

 

[SquidwardTentacles]

They are very dedicated fans up there.

 

[32BellyOption]

They are very dedicated fans up there.

I’d say Cowboys fans are even more dedicated. Going on 28 years of futility yet here we are.

 

[GrouchySmurf]

So GB fans think they Should win based on the past with a HOF QB.
Just like many on here think we will lose based on the same thing.



Hilarious.

Exactly.

Why play the game at all if it's somehow predetermined by what happened back in insert year?

 

[charron]

Pressure love up the middle and he's toast.

Man just made up an opponent and an overtime that never happened.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

The Jimmy curse was broken and we will see if that's true Sunday. Also Rodgers isnt coming to Texas. Weird stat and how I know this is true. The 90s we were 9-1 vs the Packers. The Farve years. The last 10 games vs them we are 1-9. The Rodgers years. A new era now maybe we own them this era?.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

At this point, being a Cowboys fan goes hand in hand with being a pessimist. It’s just been too long since we’ve had any meaningful success to be completely optimistic.

Packers fans are the opposite. They were spoiled by Favre and AR and expect to have similar success without them.

I like the theory and say we run with it. I think GB is a really nice match up for us really as long as we don't get too cocky. I truly believe we can pressure Love and make him make mistakes like we have other QBs. Just take care of business on Sunday then we get another week of Cowboy's football. As has been said time and time again this year this team is created for playing with a lead and the Defense feeding off the desperate passes from the other team to catch up. Thats our game we stick to that and we will all be smiling Monday morning.

 

[Toro9]

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.


I have nothing against Jordan Love, but I really hope we destroy them.

Yeah, I like the idea of sitting a young QB if you have a vet. And they did just that. Wish Love all the best but in future years he might have a better chance. Not this year, Jordan.

 

[ConstantReboot]

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.

I'm sure it will be alot of Aaron Jones. Then in play action they will try and throw deep. We can't bite on the double moves and we have to pressure Jordan Love. If not, it might be a shoot out.
