This Packers Team is More Dangerous Than Many Think

[Mr_437]

He was right, so far.

This is what a first-round quarterback does.

I've been listening to some of the media coverage on this game, and some of our fans have lost their minds. Obviously, not many have paid attention to our upcoming opponent.

I was listening to Bobby Belt recently, and he's out there embarrassing the Cowboys and giving the Packers motivation. Essentially, he asked Broaddus to tell him why he should have a healthy respect for Green Bay. In that episode, it almost sounds like Belt is both drunk and on crack. It's quite bizarre.

Even more bizarre are the comments, where people are dissing on Broaddus for not parroting his line. It's silly.

The first thing to remember is this Packers' team is young. So, they ought to have more stamina for the playoffs after a 17 game season. Also, their defensive pass rush is pretty good. They have one less sack than Dallas.

Add to that, four solid WRs, a pretty good OL, a solid run game, and a QB who has thrown 4 less TDs than Dak, and they suddenly appear to be quite the opponent, for an underdog.

We're talking about a team with all the pieces they actually need to win it. In fact, it's quite the opposite of what Belt says. Maybe Dallas shouldn't fear this team. But they should certainly respect them. They started out 2-5, then won 7 out of 10 of their last games.

I don't care who you are. That's impressive. We likely win, I think. But if we don't, we'll have suffered defeat from a formidable team and an actual contender.

If we lose, I expect to see lots of scapegoating and the typical ignorant reactions from our fanbase. This isn't the same team we played last year. They're even better, if you've actually cared to look at how they've played, recently.

What happened when they were 2-5 isn't really relevant when they've managed to win 7 of their last 10. If we're going off the last 10 games, which is how I judge how strong a team is going into the playoffs nowadays, the Packers are on the same level as Dallas. What gives us an advantage is having homefield for this game.

We'll see. Between the 105.3 clowns, aside from Broaddus, and Belt's new takes, I haven't really heard any honest assessments without bias and without hate or homerism, which is what I expect from the media. Thankfully, Broaddus has been around long enough he doesn't lose his mind and has actually been doing his homework lately, which I'm thankful for.

I suspect McCarthy has done his homework, cleaned up some of the details, and has this team dialed in. Even so, like I said, this team is no pushover. Truth be told.

Great Post!!!

Great Post!!!

some of us tried to be the voice of reason, never pictured this but they are much more dangerous team at 7-2 down the stretch.. i mean to dismiss them was egotistical. they are the hottest team going into the playoffs.

 

[loublue22]

Rams would have likely done the same thing.

 

[JayFord]

they arent dangerous

this is playoff dallas....you dont have to bring your A game

 

[KB1122]

Let me guess:in the draft, we passed on Jordan Love. And probably took a guard.

I'm with you, I didn't expect this from the Offense mainly.

 

[KB1122]

Well, at least we took CeeDee over Love.

 

[Rock423]

And yet here we are...

What. They are doing exactly what I listened to all week. Their run game and play action game would give us fits. Dan Quinn has been getting pass after pass, but I’m done. Been a fan since ‘77, this is by far one of the most pathetic performances I’ve seen.

Great Post!!!

Well, I think this may be part of the problem. Instead of focusing on this game, they were out partying, etcetera.
Meanwhile, Packers stayed focused on the task. Not sure why, I've been a big homer all year, but I felt this coming. Didn't want to think it. But GB looks like a contender to me... I didn't realize it until I actually looked at their squad. They're good.

That's right. This is a dangerous team. Sucks. But true.
******, I'm irked.

I'm with you, I didn't expect this from the Offense mainly.

First of all how can the offense function when they're constantly down in games literally even if they would have raided the ship you know like they're down 7 nothing already then they punt then they're down 14 nothing and then yes the pick six sucked but that second interception let's all agree that Brandon cooks was mugged knocked out of the way to get that interception that's not on Prescott that's just one of those things the referees missed it it happens but in the second-half they could have got some traction had the defense not giving up 21 straight points they literally stopped no one as usual all year long in the biggest games go look at all the games against Arizona the 49ers Buffalo and others but technically look at the Seattle game that we won at home barely that's what with this game would have took a perfect game from the offense and the quarterback and that's ridiculous expectations to expect them to have to score 40 to win a game especially in the playoffs Dan Quinn is overrated and it's time for him to go I'm glad he's got offers hell his offers might get pulled now but this defense all year long his expectations were that it was gonna be championship defense and it was not this looks like rod marinelli's defense this looks like hell at times it looks like Mike Nolan's defense anybody who wants to put their head under the ground and ignore the fact that this blame is a team loss but most of the losses this year 70% were on the defense you can't play a game or even catch up in a high score game if the defense doesn't make stops they just didn't it's been going on all year giving up the the 1st Dr. of the year they give up points and 70% of the games and they've also in half the games giving up a score in the first drive of the second-half if they are not getting turnovers they can't play normal defense they don't have much resistance outside of getting some sacks or some turnovers outside of that they're not a good defense at all....

 

[CWR]

This wasn't about the Packers. It was Dallas not playing to the level they needed to. Make no mistake, we don't beat anyone playing how we did.

 

[Cmac]

SF will blow them out next week. That will be the additional pain on this board.

 

[ghst187]

Doubt it, they were a barely .500 team and only backed into the playoffs bc other teams lost.
They lost to a lot of bad teams and their wins were against Chicago, Minnesota, Carolina…with only quality wins against Rams (before the Rams were good) and maybe Denver (before they started playing better). They were a bad team and we played as badly as we possibly could and showed zero heart. We should’ve been able to show up and win and instead got curb stomped.
It wasn’t because GB is good.

Dallas 40 Greenbay 17

I should have known after 29 years the Cowboys would not show up to play

You consider that a party? That was just a birthday dinner.
