Calling it right now, Jeff Janis clears 75 receiving yards on Sunday and the Packers win 35-24
I see everybody is Drunk on Homer Juice; here comes some reality tea.
Dallas front is going to control our DL....simply put there are just way better. Eliott tears is up and Dom is forced to use some extreme measure to try to stop him...includeing some rush blitzes that leave us vulnerable elsewhere. This hurts our pass rush and outside contain...as Dak Prescott uses a combo of his passing and rushing to have a very effective day.
AROD has a very nice day and having a TE gives our offense a great assist. But in the end Dallas is simply put a better team. Here are Ten Predictions for Game Day
1. Red is intoxicated throwing mass profanities during the game regarding our defense
2. Wist shows up blaming Dom Capers and his lack of creativity for everything
3. Dom has to play some serous chess matches to figure out how to contain Eliot which includes some run blitzes
4. Clay Matthews sees quite a bit of time at ILB to try to stop Eliot
5. Moving Matthews insides aids in Zak Prescott having a nice running day as we lose outside contain on some key third downs
6. AROD has a nice day and puts up about300 yards and 30 points, but Dallas puts up more
7. Jarred Cook impacts this game and we're pounding the table for an extension
8. Davante Adams and another each drop at least one key pass
9. Green Bay loses the turnover battle --1
10. Bretsky offers a simple solution for next year; hire Eliot Wolf and bump TT permanently to the film room
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
I HOPE SO !!!!!!!
Several years ago I saw no way GB was the best team; my game day threads were a source of entertainment and comedy but I didn't see us as the best team. We got hot and won the big show
It feels the same this year; hopefully the end result is the same

Yeah. Three good NFC teams left. My hopes go way up if we come out on the right side of this one.
Watched patriot game. Martellus bennet had a clear concussion but got up pretending he was fine and the whole patriots coaching bench played along. It's the little things like making sure to avoid the rules that make a winner. They do whatever it takes. But they're not that good. We can beat them. KC can beat them. Pitt, dallas and Atlanta can beat them. The last 6, it's whoever plays the most sound games. They're all good.
Finally. Some reality in this thread. Except for#8 and 10 I agree completely. People here are not paying attention if they think Prescott will wilt under pressure. And Elliot has fresh legs. The whole team is rested and healthy. Green Bay is simply not talented enough in key places defensively to stop the Dallas offense, which will put tremendous pressure on the offense to score touchdowns every possession.
This is the end of the run, I'm afraid.

It has now been six weeks since Nick Perry's injury. I wonder how close he is to not needing the excessive padding for his hand?
When I read "drunk on homer juice", I knew somebody was talking about me.
The Packers should win this game. I say that having seen every game played by my second favorite team, the Cowboys. As the regular season ended, the Cowboys were sliding. The team we just beat - that had recently beaten the Cowboys - SEEMED to be a worse match up - outstanding receivers against our hobbled DBs, outstanding D against the best part of our team, etc. The Cowboys, on the other hand, don't have nearly the D that the Giants have. We should be able to score half a hundred on them the way our offense is playing now. They do, of course, have a very much better QB and RB than the Giants and almost as good receivers. It isn't gonna be easy. We're gonna need to outscore them and get just enough stops and turnovers. Prescott hates throwing interceptions just like Aaron Rodgers, but he did throw a couple in Green Bay. As I said before, Dom Capers is really good at taking away the best thing an opponent does - Ezekial Elliot running. There will be slip-ups, but overall, it will be a good day.

What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Believe it or not I was not referring to you; you've come more the side of the optimistic realist Tex....which is where I often sit. We used to get in so many sports tassles many years ago and I often got a laugh out of you calling me a dumb ass..........hmmm.......I miss those days a bit......lol

That must be quite a while ago - before I was gone for several years, back when it was still JSOnline. I honestly don't remember, but then I've gone round and round with a lot of people over a lot of things, sports and otherwise for a long time. If I can think of an excuse, I'll try to call you a dumb ass again for old times sake hahahahaha.

You know, I thought last night that they needed to move Matthews inside for this game - then I read Pete Dougherty's account of the first GB-Dallas game. Been there, done that. It didn't work.
Let's face it: Green Bay just does not hold up against a good running team. And Dallas is the best running team in the league, with another area of strength (a fast or wiley tight end) that the Packers struggle against. In addition, Prescott is mobile - you can't just go hell's bells into the pocket.
One other thing no one seems to have mentioned is the fact that after his monster "break out" game against Chicago, Ty Montgomery has been amazingly ineffective running the football, even with defenses designed to stop Rodgers and the passing game.
I think it'll be a game for a while but the Packers will not be able to keep the dike from bursting, and it's going to get ugly as Dallas will dominate TOP.

The Packers will do much better this game versus the run. They got WAY out of alignment trying to make great plays against the Dallas run packages in the first game and a lotta people left gaps WIDE open. Martinez did this several times as did Dix and Guion. Looked like Raji waging a one man penetration war against Adrian Peterson. Need to stay disciplined.
And they will be more disciplined this time.
Game will come down to making plays when at personnel disadvantage: Packers go base and the Cowboys stay 3 WR (not going to happen a lot but I bet it does for short yardage). And then the reverse, Packer's nickel versus the D run game.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
