The Packers Aren't Making the Playoffs Are They?

[kramskoi]

The whole point this time of year is to not only make the playoffs, but to try and position yourself the best you can for the playoffs. Which is why everyone is battling for seeding. The easier the route to the Super Bowl the better the chance of getting there. Be honest who would you rather face in the first round of the playoffs Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, or Sam Darnold? Some fans will say Carolina is the better team, therefore they would rather face the Packers or the Bucs. What ultimately gives you the best chance to win in the playoffs is facing the lesser QB because they influence the outcome of games more than any other position. This is why it’s mostly the QB that wins league MVPs and Super Bowl MVPs. Most games in the playoffs come down to the QB having to make a play.

I have a lot more confidence that we could stop Sam Darnold than stopping Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady with a playoff game on the line. When you look at the defense the Cowboys have currently they’re not going to hold up in the playoffs against a future Hall of Fame QB. They may have a tough time holding up against Sam Darnold or any QB because we’ve given up over 650 passing yards and 5 TD passes the last two games but I like my chances a lot better against Darnold. We beat him the last time we faced him. If anyone is going to cough the ball up in a critical situation, the odds are a lot better it’s going to be Sam Darnold than Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady. Those two QBs find ways to win games, and they’ve done it against the Cowboys more than once.

Did you watch Brady vs. Arizona? He is as close to rock bottom as he has ever been. He is not very mobile, his o-line has him making business decisions (because he is desperate to avoid hits and injury) and his deep ball looks creaky. This is absolutely the team Dallas wants to face first. Why? Because you know where Brady will be and you won't have to worry about RPOs...meaning you can bring more heat. Brady won't cough up the ball but that also means he is just checking it down and running a RAC offense. That will work as long as they can stay close but once they fall behind the show is over. Brady WILL devolve to throwing the ball 45 to 55 times...and against the ball-hawking cornerbacks/safeties in the Dallas secondary WILL end up tossing a few INTs...especially if the pass rush is getting home.

I don't think this team should fear either Green Bay or Tampa Bay in the playoffs. They are a better team than both right now.

I watched him and he wasn’t very good, but he still brought the Bucs back to get the win. Did you watch him a couple of weeks ago against New Orleans? The Saints had the Bucs beat and Brady pulled his magic. He can still find ways to win games. He’s never been mobile so I don’t know why you even brought it up. I can assure you this is the last team the Cowboys want to face in the playoffs because of Brady. He still put up over 4000 yards this season. Our defense would never hold up against him. Our offense is clicking pretty good but our D is borderline garbage right now.

I watched both games. The Saints collapsed. That final long ball was a heave for PI and it worked. He was dreadful against New Orleans. The Saints simply didn't have the offense to bury them like SFran did.

The Cowboys are not the same team that played Tampa Bay in game one. Brady is throwing the ball 45 times per game at 6.2 yds/att. Of course he will have over 4000 yards. But his TEAM is under .500 and nearly blew it against the toothless Cardinals. They are only a threat to teams without great offenses.

The Dallas defense is still good sir. What's not acknowledged by a lot of Cowboy fans is the fact that Philadelphia has arguably the best offensive line in football, along with a defensive line that is even better than Quinn's unit right now. Couple that with stellar receiving targets and you have a team that will put up FAR more fight than the Bucs.

I really don’t know what defense you’re watching but it’s a shell of what it was the first half of the season. We were a top 10 defense earlier in the season and now we’re ranked 14th. Our defense has given up over 650 passing yards the past two games with five TD passes with no pass rush. We’re giving up a lot of points. This isn’t even remotely the same defense we had in the opener against Tampa. We bent, but didn’t break in that game. Leonard Fournette had over 120 yards rushing. What we did real good in that game was keep the Bucs out of the endzone. We forced them to have to kick FG’s. We can’t keep anyone out of the endzone now. Our offense is better than it was in the opener against Tampa, but our defense is a far cry from what it was. I’m not going to waste much more time arguing this it’s not like we’re going to change our opinions. I’ve said repeatedly if our defense doesn’t get better it’s going to be another one and done and you can mark my words.

Carolina ran for 321 yards last week so maybe not lol

With Dak good for at least one INT every week and the defense needing turnovers to keep opponents out of the endzone we’re going to have a tough time beating anyone in the playoffs.

Keep an eye on the Cleveland vs Washington game next weekend. It will tell the tale.

so what, root for WASH so GB doesn't make it? are we all on board? do we tank the last game to help ?? ) only way to get AR12 back

I don’t know. The Cowboys are literally the only NFCE team that didn’t beat Green Bay this year.

I don’t know. The Cowboys are literally the only NFCE team that didn’t beat Green Bay this year.

Look we lost in OT as they started putting it together they been on roll since..we blew that game we dominated for 3 qtrs. then slipped.2 of our loses were in OT or Dak undefeated since his return.. hard to complain about that...
they beat the saints, bucs, rams, and bears in the NFC so what we lost it happens.

im betting the chiefs are as unhappy they lost to the Colts struggled against the Texans and broncos.

 

[diamonddelts]

I WANT Brady
I WANT Hurts
I WANT Rogers
I WANT Mahomes...if you personally think Allen or Burrows is better then I WANT whichever one that YOU think is better.

I wanna mow them all down and make them look weak and pathetic.
This is my idea of bliss.

Then you must like 26 years of getting your arse whipped.

If the Packers make the playoffs and survive long enough to face Dallas it will be in Dallas.

But the Packers have to play the Vikings this weekend, and the Lions the last week. If they win those two games then it depends on the Giants and Washington, and Seattle.

Washington controls their destiny. If they win 2 games they are in no matter what Seattle, Green Bay and Detroit do. The Giants only need 1 win to secure their own playoff birth not matter what the other teams do.

Seattle has the Jets and Rams left.
Washington has Cleveland and Dallas.
The Giants have the Colts and Eagles
Green Bay has Minnesota and Detroit, both at home
Detroit has Chicago and Green Bay

This week is going to tell us a lot this week about who plays to win week 18 and who rests their starters. It is very possible the Giants and Commanders will face two teams resting their starters. That could give the Giants and Commanders the last two spots in the playoffs. Then again, the Giants could lock up a spot this week against the hapless Colts and rest their players week 18 too.

 

[DFWJC]

No they will. They will whip 12-3 Minnesota next week and rout San Fran in California just like they always have in the playoffs. Then Rodgers will throw for 6 TDs as they beat the fully rested #1 seed Philly in the divisionals.

Start crapping the bed now.

You may want to brush up on your history

Rodgers sucks playing in SanFran.

Rodgers -- and the Packers -- suck playing SanFran....period.

Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are the NFL "Bogeymen" to many Cowboys fans in general --- and to quite a number of Cowboys Zone members in particular.

I'm just not afraid of any team or their QB. You probably already think we are a 1 and done team this year anyway. So called fans like you I will never understand and don't want to.
"Oh gawd, I sure hope we don't have to face Brady or Rogers...whaaaah!"

Pathetic!

 

[FVSTONE]

Everything fell right for them this weekend. You feel better about playing them at AT&T versus Lambeau? Would have to be the NFC Championship game, it looks like.

I'd rather face Brady than Rogers in a playoff game. Brady get's rid of the ball pretty quick, but he doesn't have the legs to run, whereas Rogers still has the ability to tuck and run if he feels the need to. On that note, it appears that the Boys are going to be facing Tampa and anytime you have to face Brady you've got to bring your A game. The Cowboys are due to have a great game against Tampa since they've lost their last two against them.
GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup. We’ll end up playing them. Every winning team has a team they struggle with early. They have to beat them to break through. It remains to be seen if we can.
