Over under on how often we hear this isn't the same Packers team we faced earlier in the year?

This also isn't the same Dallas team GB played earlier either.

Exactly, we're much better. We're healthier on defense, got Dez back and coaches trust Dak more. Media people talking about how are we going to stop Rogers, Cobb, well how are the Packers going to stop Dak and Zeke.

Also Packers running game doesn't scare me

 

[plymkr]

Anyone else think they're going to be favored against the Cowboys?

I hope so. I want Zeke and the oline to come out with a chip on their shoulder and feeling like they have something to prove.

 

[DallasDomination]

Let them keep talking.. I wanted the Packers the whole time. We don't match up with the Giants and Dak had a mental block against them for some reason.

Against the Pack we match up extremely well on offense. Those little dudes can't do anything against this line.

When we played them the first time, the Packers were 3-1 with the only loss being by 3 points on the road against the Vikings. If they had beaten the Cowboys in Green Bay, they'd have gotten off to a 5-1 start (they beat the Bears the following week). The biggest reason they weren't the team then that they are now is that we beat them then.

After their 4-2 start, they lost four in a row, all to teams with top 10 offenses (Falcons, Colts, Titans, Skins). In fact, that's a pattern with them. They struggle against good offenses. They have 11 wins against offenses whose league rank averages to 22nd, and 6 losses against offenses whose rank averages to 6th.

^^This. I was going to post something similar. They haven't beaten a team with a good offense this year. Out of the all the teams they beat, Lions are probably the best offensive team.

Packers' Opponents' Offensive Rank: Packers' W-L
points per drive
1st-12th: W 0 L 5
13th-32nd: W 11 L 1

Cowboys' Opponents' Offensive Rank: Cowboys' W-L
1st-12th: W 4 L 0
13th-32nd: W 9 L 3

Short version: Both Dallas and GB have top 10 offenses. Cowboys are 4-0 vs. top 10 offenses this year. Packers are 0-5.

on how often we hear this isn't the same Packers team we faced earlier in the year? I think I'm gonna go on a sports media fast this week.

You should do this every week. You'd be surprised how much better it feels to just show up and watch the game. I used to hang on every word ESPN and others said too...until it drove me crazy. I started unplugging myself from them (because, after all, they don't play the game) and my mental health improved. I know this would be a horrible week to listen to them. ugh.

 

[Blackspider214]

Will they also mention how we aren't the same team, either? Going to guess no. Dez did not play. We were on the road. Dak and Zeke didn't even have a half of season under their belt. We were not as polished.

Why would you think this? Vegas making a flavor of the month team favored on the road against a 1 seed? That is as healthy as you can be at this point. If Vegas did this on a regular basis, they would go bankrupt.

It's certainly not the same Aaron Rodgers we faced earlier in the season, it's not even debatable. He couldn't be playing better than he is right now.

 

[SacredStar]

It's all over the net. GB is way better now blah blah blah. All that matters is which team plays the best and smartest football ON THAT DAY. It may be GB, it may be Dallas. All that other stuff is just "discussion".

 

[Sepia]

They said we couldn't beat them the first time either.

 

[JoeKing]

This isn't the same Cowboys team either.

 

[basilhayden]

That's correct. Mccarthy will now know everything our coaching staff will do and expose them.

 

[AsthmaField]

[(rival fans + Media) x (avg points since Dallas win at GB - avg points before Dallas win at GB)] x [(F/R) - (GB temp - Dallas temp)] / 2.5

Where: F = number of fake cowboys fans on this board
and
R = number of real cowboys fans on this board

So, the number of times we'll hear it is 112

 

[Idgit]

Too often.

Does it taste salty?

It will happen quite often & will be true...UNLESS We handle our business & run them into the ground.
