We are reading it along with their RB and OL issues.

I think to win this game DAK is going to have to throw past their front 7 and the receivers must get open.

The Pack will try to stop the run and Clay Mathews will be a spy on DAK to prevent him running.

That means..air it out.

You guys agree or no?

I tend to agree, but if you don't succeed, the ball goes back to Rogers faster.

The worst thing that could happen would be for the Cowboys to get down by more than 7 early. The coaching staff would really have to fight the urge to start slinging it around the yard.

If they do that, I believe our defense will get exposed and exploited.

Getting away from the team identity is a good way to lose

They didn't assemble a good o-line and draft a first round running back to only run against bad run defenses.

Agree. The line will impose their will in the run game and take shots in the passing game when appropriate. I would rather that Dak throw no more than 35 times. However, the coaching staff may agree with the OP and air it out if they see vulnerability.

If you have to commit a spy, then RBs and TEs have less to worry about when getting open. I want them to waste Clay Matthews like that,

That means..air it out.

Quite honestly, this game strikes me as one in which we should win. Green Bay is a good team with a good to great QB depending on the week you play him. The defense is composed of pretenders for the most part.

Their RBs are hurt or out, Their secondary is hurting. We are playing very good ball, and their rushing defense is very overrated. If we truly are contenders, on paper we should beat them, even in Green Bay, by more than a touchdown.

A good offense exposes the opposing defense. This identity crap sounds good but the best teams don't just go out there slam against a wall because that's what they do.

The Giants were shutting down our run and we should of thrown better against them. Same thing here..if the pack are going to chicken hold themselves to stopping the run then you better throw the damn ball.

Been saying that for days. Everyone in the media wants to make this about our run offense vs. their run defense. But the story is their vulnerability against the pass. Blake Bortles torched them; Bradford torched them; and Eli should have torched them accuracy issues). This partially explains the low rush totals (along with them playing all 4 teams without a start RB, etc.). We should throw early and challenge them down the field opportunistically (e.g., at mid or plus side of the field) and then punish them with some will crushing drives based on a physical rushing attack in the second half. Just like the days of the triplets. Beat them early with Aikman seal the deal with Emmitt. I love our chances if we avoid negative. Force the Packers to beat us and I think we got this handily.

My hope is this. If Rodgers starts off slow, Maranelli uses stunts and back side blitzes to rattle Rodgers.

A couple of three and outs and this Cowboy offense bullying their defense and I like the odds a great deal of coming away with a win.

Packers CB3, Quentin Rollins, who was their CB1 last week with Sam Shields and Demarious Randall out last week vs the Giants, was added to the injury report today with a groin injury:

http://www.foxsports.com/wisconsin/...ollins-green-bay-packers-injury-report-101516

If he does't play, the Packers will be likely be missing their CB1 (Shields), CB2 (Randall), and CB3 (Rollins) and will be left only with 3 UDFAs playing the CB position.

I hope Greenbay has a spy on Dak because he is no threat to run the ball. The game plan is very obvious for the Packs, especially after seeing game film of our o-line destroying the Bengals d-line.

The question is will we be stubborn to run the ball knowing that the Packs will be committed to stopping it?

I hope we start our first offensive play with a playaction.

what secondary issues do they have? Shields has been out for awhile and they have been fine.

What are the issues they have? There defense got stronger this week with the activation of Mike Pennel and demetri goodson.

There defense is ready to go.

Secondary issues does not mean we need to pass. Also dramatically impacts the running game too.

This is going to be a very physical game.

The Packers will try to intimidate us early.

If we answer that..

we have a shot.

Special teams and field position is going to be big.

Lets get Bailey and Whitehead ready.

Going to need them firing on all cylinders.
