Packers haven't really played anyone that can run the football.
I think the Cowboys can run on them.

I respect GB's ability to make timely plays on defense than I do their run defense. Our boys will challenge them like no other team has this season.

Include me in that one also. Packers will find out what it really means to have the #1 run defense. OR not have it.

I know I should know better, but I have a hard time taking this version of the Packers all that seriously. They're obviously a good team, but with Rodgers merely human and their strength reportedly in the DL, this seems like a game we can win. In fact, I'm a bit perplexed that we started out 5.5 point road dogs in the first place. Anybody who's followed them closer than I have able to educate me as to why they're favorites?

Is this your roundabout way of figuring out if we have Packers fans posing as Cowboys fans on this board?

Yep, saw that stat yesterday for the cheeseheads.
Every teams' run defense will be measured when playing against us.

And for me I think we should expose teams that do try to stop it like we did this past Sunday.
My biggest fear is they go back in the predictable shel that they are known for.

Leave percy alone.
No, what it really was is a friend of mine sent me this yesterday:
And I was like 'where do these guys get off being so cocky about this game?' If I were a Packers fan, I'd be worried about a road team that travels as well as we do bringing in the specific offensive we're bringing up. I get that they're a good team, and that they have that home field advantage (though less so in October), but they haven't been a pretty ho-hum 3-1 so far this season. And as we're seeing here in this thread, there's no guarantee they're going to be able to stop our offense. We can hurt teams a number of different ways.

Agreed. Literally in ALL 4 of their games the other team's lead back was out (qualifier being AP went out in 3rd quarter). They haven't had to face a back of Alfred Morris's caliber this year let alone Zeke. Moreover, teams have had a good amount of success throwing the ball against them (Vikings and Jags for example) and had Eli been even remotely on target last game they would've been shredded through the air. I think we are going to put serious stress on them to try and stop our diversified attack. They're going to see a back that his way beyond anything they've had to deal with thus far and, with Dez back, they will likely get exposed majorly in passing game as well. The Boys are gonna be a problem!!!

Packers have faced the number 30, 32, 23, & 27 ranked rushing attack thus far.
Now they face #1.

I recall Cincy expecting to have an easy W Sunday. Good thing we play the game first.

Yeah. Was taking a leap of faith on that one. Haven't seen/heard the updates since Sunday.
