Who is Playing Better Ball Right Now?

[LysleE]

I think Green Bay is playing better football; their running game is coming around; their young WRs are coming into their own, timing/chemistry improving with Rogers; and their defense is playing well…they were impressive against the Vikings.
They are peaking at the right time; I can totally see them being overlooked in the playoffs. Rogers, unlike Dak, can carry a team and elevate the play of those around him. I think Dak goes as his skill players go…Dak needs them to play well for him to play well.

Miami

Hardy, har, har.....

The Packers are playing better they’ve won four in a row. The Cowboys have only had one impressive win the past month and it was against the Vikings who have to be the worst 12-4 team in recent memory. When they lose they get destroyed.

Vikings look like they're taking a bye week, but Green Bay is pounding them worse than we did.

Ours was worse because we beat Minnesota in Minnesota in a comfy environment.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

As opposed to how we’ve looked? Or Philly? They won, and this was the one game they might have lost.

Their all world defense just got ripped to shreds by Jared Stidham, a scrub making his first start in the NFL. 500 yards of offense. But somehow they are head and shoulders above the rest of the NFC?

I tend to throw out as an aberration games against newly starting backups. It seems to be that teams don't prepare as well for them, and they always seem to have great games against good teams - until teams get enough tape on them. Then, they fall back to the pack, so to speak.

GB. But SF is head and shoulders walking into the SB.

i think we can play like the raiders or better.

 

[Risen Star]

Green Bay. Not close.

 

[Risen Star]

49ers
Eagles
Packers
Bucs

I'd pick them all to beat the Cowboys in the playoffs.

Yes, great point!

Rodgers, and his 4 tds in the last 4 games, has absolutely elevated the Pack to levels Dak could never dream of.

 

[JoeKing]

Seriously? The Cowboys are hands down playing better football. The Packers are a joke.

 

[Risen Star]

I'm probably going to plat our loss to the Bucs in the wild card round. Just trying to work up the courage.

Yes they are. Every team doesn’t have a Adams at WR and a Jacobs at RB.

So why didn't the Raiders beat everyone?

 

[TheHerd]

So why didn't the Raiders beat everyone?

Matchups, and of course the Raiders were hot. Bottom line is 49ers went from dead to at least 2 seed in the second half.

 

[cowboyec]

dallas.
4-1 in december.
6-1 since losing to green bay up there.

 

[john van brocklin]

yeah true and I’m terrified I’m going to have to choose between rooting for SF or Philly in the NFCC game. And in that nightmare scenario, I’d have to root for SF gross

Hope for a tie,,?
Lol
I know that's not possible

 

[ICP]

Say, over the last month? Dallas or Green Bay?

To me it doesn't matter, until Dallas can put GB away in the post season it doesn't matter who's playing better ball

 

[Mark]

The Cowboys' defense seems to have tanked, slipping badly from its championship form earlier in the season. Don't claim to have the answer as to why that is, but it is THE reason DAL isn't unstoppable right now.
