Week 6 Cowboys at Packers Let's Analyze

[Bullflop]

The Packers will do all in their power to limit Zeke and our running game. I think they'll have some degree of success but not enough to stop us from getting our share of 1st downs. At the same time, Dak will be obliged to make good on 3rd downs when necessary, just like he has previously. Our offense will be tested. It remains to be seen if their offense will be able to rise to the occasion with our defense playing much better than most expected this year. Both teams will be obliged to execute at peak efficiency to win. It'll be a dogfight -- don't miss it. Cowboys 27, Packers, 24.

I think we win walking away. I think our o-line is just now coming into their own. Our 1-2 punch of running backs is straight up nasty. And they are vulnerable at the corner no matter who we roll out at WR. They can't put 8 in the box, double the WRs, put a spy on Dak to keep him honest and also make sure Beasley doesn't eat them alive underneath.

Our D has to play their best game, but they have been. Their offense is decent, but they aren't going to see the field much.

The only person who's going to have a worse day than the Packers tomorrow is Steven A. Smith.

Cowboys 41 Packers 16

the possibility of Lacy being out could be huge, he is practically impossible to tackle above the waist. Starks poses a threat in the screen and swing passing game but that's about it

unfortunately, one of Rodgers' strengths is pushing the ball down the field via going over the middle which, consequently, is Marinelli's scheme weakness. they are going to get yards, just need to keep them out of the endzone

Byron Jones Interception .... you heard it hear first....

Interesting , Martin vs Daniels, lets see who is standing !

Dallas is the best in the league through the A gaps, Packers have been the best at stopping it.

The cheeseheads scored 28 points, getting 435 total yards with over 200 rushing and controlled the clock for like 39 minutes on us last year. All that without Rodgers having his favorite target Jordy Nelson playing. If our defense doesn't play its best game, look for another 28 points to happen again or maybe more.

Your living in past brother, this Dallas team just feels different this year. Its like they know they are good and who is going to stop us mentality, Zeke and Dak have changed the way this team thinks.

we are under estimating Daniels,he is really good.Imo this game is won in the air because we will see a lot of 3rd and longs.

That's all fine and good, but Dak and Zeke don't play defense. Make no mistake, Rodgers will come out firing against our 19th ranked secondary. He will likely succeed, but the key is holding them to FG's instead of TD's.

Actually they do play defense, being out there controlling the clock while keeping the ball away from that Baaadddd Maaaann helps our D.

 

[KJJ]

This will be our Seattle game that will show how for real we are this season. Not many if any teams have had worst luck at Lambeau than the Cowboys who've only won there once in 2008.

Our secondary will hold their own against GB. You're not giving them enough credit imo

If we win all the media will talk about is what is wrong with Packers? They aren't as good as we thought.

 

[SlammedZero]

I like that we have lose the last 5. Those kind of stats are meant to be broke! Redemption time indeed!

That's ok, neither are the Bengals. That's why looking at pre-season strength of schedule is pointless. Nobody knows which teams will be good or bad based on the previous year's record. GB and Cincinnati already have a harder SoS (at least regarding us) than they thought, because we've already won as many games as we did all of last year.

There's an old saying that if you live by the blitz, you die by the blitz. If Dak can hit quick passes to Beasley, Witten, or whomever, they should have a lot of room to run.

At least, that's what I hope.
