Giants beat their arse a few times in Lambeau.

And the Giants had a power running game.

I really don't see how the Eagles could win up there unless Green Bay just gives the game away with a bunch of turnovers. You can't beat a top contender in extreme conditions like that playing finesse football.

The Cowboys have never beaten the Packers at Lambeau in the playoffs. The curse of the Ice Bowl still hangs over the Cowboys.

Uhhh, that is because the Packers were never that good after the Ice Bowl so that is why the Cowboys never got to play them in Lambeau! They never got the chance! Use your head once in awhile.

Hell, when was the last time the Packers won in Texas during the a playoff game or a SB?

I really don't know, so this is a serious question.

"To me Rodgers arm strength is enough to beat the blitz. He can the ball on the money to his guys on their first cut. They haven't run any thing special today to counter it. Rodgers is just getting it to the open guy every time."

@Alweezy.....I guess if its all Rogers then mimicking their offensive scheme is a moot point. I was hoping the Packs were calling quick slants, screens, draws, keeping an additional blocker in the back field, etc...

That's what I'm saying.. what he is doing out there, is not Romo's game. He's not going to hit the quick slant to this type of efficiency Romo is not going to scramble and go get a first down if the D gives it to him.. But again, I don't want him to do these things because that would imply that we are taking the ball out of Murray's hands and putting it into Romo's... We need to focus on what we do best, which is run the ball, and run more screens.

Right. An opportunity presented itself and they pounced on it. They didn't worry about how he fit the first year. How much production they'd get from the pick immediately. They were thinking long term and working the draft the right way.

Meanwhile Harry and Lloyd at Valley Ranch tell us a 1st round pick must be projected to start immediately.

It's not like Manziel wasn't strongly considered last draft.

Favre was turning 36 in the season the Packers drafted Rodgers. If a QB falls to Dallas in the next draft or so and they take him, Dallas will have done the exact same thing Green Bay did.

The same way you think you know something.

This is a football forum. People post their opinions. Be a big boy and handle it.

Actually no. Different people come to knowledge in different manners. Thinking that everyone thinks the same way as one does is a good indicator of narcissism though lack of empathy being what it is.

Myself, I find opinion and knowledge to be distinct from one another. I know that the power running game we employ differs from what Kelly uses. I also know that our skill position players present a different matchup than Philly.

Personally, I find blustering certainty onto an unprovable hypothesis to be a waste of time.

Besides that, bro...I don't think Manziel is going to do much in the NFL.

Regardless of whether or not it's a rookie or a free agent pick up, this team desperately needs an upgrade at back up.

If there's no real good option at QB in the draft, I wouldn't mind taking a look at Jake Locker. He's young and has accuracy issues, but he could learn alot from sitting behind Tony for a couple of years.

And I would praise them for it.

Providing I agree with the evaluation of the player. I certainly wouldn't have praised Manziel.

BTW, only one guy wanted Manziel and I think the reason for that goes to what I said and what I'm quoting both Jerry and Stephen on in the past. The 1st round pick must be an immediate starter. Manziel wasn't going to be that. So no matter how tempting his star status was for the owner, they looked elsewhere.

He held his nose when drafting Zach Martin. Which, if you have the slightest clue about Jerry Jones, makes Martin a lock to be a great player.
