Official Packers vs. Cowboys Discussion Thread

Do we really not have one of these going yet?

I'm not a fan of breaking tradition so I'll leave this here.

[Joemailman]

Cowboys 8-0 away from home
Packers 8-0 at home.

Demarco Murray has rushed for over 100 yards 12 times this season.
Packers defense hasn't given up 100 yards to a single player since Clay Matthews moved inside.

Cowboys defense is 2nd in the NFL in turnovers forced.
Packers offense has committed the least number of turnovers in the NFL.

Should be a great one.

[woodbuck27]

Any way I look at this matchup.

It looks close.

[denverYooper]

I'm not a fan of breaking tradition so I'll leave this here.

We were trying to do it different this year. Trying to avoid getting locked into the same old posting routine that just results in disappointment year after year when the Packers flame out in the postseason.

The league is changing, so we were changing.

We are whammy-ing the discussion thread. So we need to invert your post:

"Dom will be the reason we hoist the trophy.

Running the football is the key to winning in today's NFL.

[Joemailman]

Packers have never lost to the Cowboys in the playoffs when the gametime temperature is below 32 degrees.

[denverYooper]

Why run when you can win?

[QBME]

Need to make plays on both sides of the ball.

[woodbuck27]

This thread lacks energy.

It reminds me of Green Bay @ Buffalo this year.

If we as fans need to give karma energy to the Green bay Packers ......we're failing !

Yes....Green Bay needs an improvement here.

Turnovers, or the lack thereof, will be important. Possibly decisive.

It should go without saying. Which means it must always be said.


+1

[Packers4Glory]

In my opinion this is why we signed Peppers. Him and Clay need to bring the heat in order for us to advance.

Best case is we jump out to an early lead force a turnover or two and put them behind 14 or 17 points. Then let them panic and abandon their gameplan and put it on Romo. Then Pep and Clay (and Neal to a lesser extent) can wreck havoc.

Lets not forget Romo isn't the picture of health either. A big shot or two on a cold day isn't going to help his back issue.

It'll be a slobberknocker!

[Freak Out]

The "Frozen Tundra" of Lambeau Field will play a key role.

[wist43]

If Rodgers plays the whole game, and plays well - we win.

If he doesn't? - we lose.

Pretty simple.

[Fritz]

Pray for the offensive line to play well and Rodgers, A., to stay healthy.

[woodbuck27]

Yes for sure and:

it's being reported here (on the TSN Thurs. Jan . 8, 2015 Evening news) that Aaron Rodgers injury is more substantial than originally reported (or thought); that he has a slight tear in his calf muscle.

That according to MM "everything is on schedule" and that Aaron Rodgers will play Sunday.

[woodbuck27]

How is the Green Bay Packers 'D' Different?

GO PACK GO !

Comment woodbuck27:

Some commentary on the OL and a goal being protection for Aaron Rodgers having to be extended from 2-3 seconds to 4-5 seconds.

Lori Nickel makes it clear that the key to a Packers win on Sunday is the run 'D'.

[Pugger]

Pray for the offensive line to play well and Rodgers, A., to stay healthy.

If they replicate their performance they had against Detroit no worries guys. 8-)

[woodbuck27]

The Odds are down >>> [-5.5 Packers].

The o/u @ 52.5.

If Rodgers plays a full game the over will be reached.

I keep looking for that game when the Packer 'D' works like hell as a team to get the man with the ball.

I mean punishes the man with the ball....without any late hits of course.

[denverYooper]

They really need to play 60 minute football in all 3 phases.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Turnovers will be key

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

I actually think the game will be an easy win for the Packers. Everybody and their brother are picking the Cowboys and even those that are picking the Pack are secretly hoping the cowboys win. I believe Peppers and Mathews have a good game. House makes an interception. And Starks has a huge day. O-Line has a little trouble at first but then dominates. Rogers is not great, a little tentative, but has enough support from run game to advance to the next game where he has a great game.

There ya go...

I think our O line will not have a lot of trouble. If they could handle Detroit they should handle Dallas for sure. Dallas' pass rush isn't anything to write home about.

They're going to have to be awake before the game starts.

Loss's in early ( 1 PM EST) games @ Detroit and Buffalo.

[pbmax]

If Aaron Rodgers is not able to be Aaron Rodgers, then the Packers will struggle without Aaron Rodgers.

[Guiness]

I think our O line will not have a lot of trouble. If they could handle Detroit they should handle Dallas for sure. Dallas' pass rush isn't anything to write home about.

You don't consider this place home away from home? You just wrote here about it :duel:

First downs are important. You want to control the clock and keep the defense off the field.

GO PACKERS !

[woodbuck27]

FACTS:

The Green Bay Packers are 9-1 when allowing <350 yards of offense.

The Dallas Offense has averaged 397.6 Yards/Game this season..

I'm comparing Dallas to Green Bay for these statistics and seeing an advantage for the Packers in all three Stat's.

[The Shadow]

I think that perhaps the Packer O Line has been quietly observing all the All World Love for the Dallas O Line, and are about to do something about it.
In the same vein, with all the Murray hoopla, Eddie Lacy may be planning on making his own statement about top running backs.

I hope that MM mixes it up in the Packers run game with a good dose of James Starks as well.

I've been thinking the same. Tons of pub on the Dallas OL + run game, which is very good. Not much on GB's, which is also up in the top on most things.

Dallas's line is mostly a mauler -- better at lining up and beating you straight up -- power, etc. Green Bay's is better in the pass game and better with angles.
