I think we can topple Jerruh, but the Niners are almost always kryptonite.

I think we can topple Jerruh, but the Niners are almost always kryptonite.
If we put up 35 we might beat Dallas.
I voted for #5, but the brilliant Joe Barry exists.
How deep can the Packers go in the playoffs?
Balls deep, baby!
Or at least I think they can beat Dallas. Don't know if they will - but they can. And I have a sneaking suspicion that they just might pull it off.
After that, the spaceship comes crashing back to earth, except for the defensive backs stationed near Pluto.
As Renee Russo said in "Tin Cup"
"Ah hell Roy, go ahead. Knock it in, let her rip"
Win me an Owl and no one will ever remember that stretch where we sucked (except skin. He will continue to be a jackass).
Obviously, I want the Packers to win it all.
But who did we beat this year?
The Chiefs, Lions and the Rams with a QB who got cut the next day.
I know I am the guy who always says you can only beat the teams you are scheduled to play. I believe that.
I think the best thing in this team’s favor is they don’t have the experience to know they are going to be outgunned most playoff games. They are young and trending in the right direction at the end of the year.
But not really this game. Discounting games against the Rams without Stafford, the Packers were 3-3 against teams that finished with winning records. Cowboys were 3-4. Both teams were 6-2 over the last 8 weeks. Packers strength of victory (winning pct. of teams you've beaten) is significantly better than Cowboys. Cowboys stats are better, but I doubt that's the case over the last 8 weeks. The fact that the game is at Dallas is really the only reason for the Cowboys to be favored.Quote:

I discount the Rams game because of the QB for the game. And I discount both NO and Tampa. If you remove their division games, they were both 5-6. It helps to play CAR twice a lot!
Erron’s kryptonite man, not the Packers. Love isn't going into the game feeling upset about how they didn’t draft him number one. Rodgers always let niners games get in his head. Love is turning out to be the emotionless executioner Rodgers thought himself to be.Quote:

I put 25 on Jones to go over 104. I could have done 64, 74, 84…. But I like Jones a lot on Sunday. 104. He’s a cowboy killer and it’s not a fluke. He matches up well against that penetrating style.
I deposited $50 and got a 50 bonus 10 years ago and I’m still sitting even at $100. I’ve been over 300 and under 60. But 10 years on the same deposit and probably 50-100 bets. I’m not a winner, but I’m not a loser either.
We're winning three Superbowls in a row.
Starting when??Quote:

My guess is Joe will go back to his "shrivel" zone (so soft you can barely see it) and Prescott will pick the defense apart.Quote:

Jaire was getting beat in man coverage and messing up in zone. I wouldn't be surprised if we play a lot of zone and do it better without Jaire.
That’s what I’m hearing too.Quote:

Let’s just hope he hangs on to the ball because remember, it’s a BIG game.
What are you talking about with Jones? I have already forgot.Quote:

The pressure is on him to NOT let some first year starter ruin another Dallas SB chance. Tex is right saying Dak is like Rodgers. Both get rattled quickly when lit up by a defender.Quote:
