Dallas or New York?

[footballfever]

It doesn't matter who we play, the National media is going to play us down and play up whoever we are gonna play. I was okay with all the bad talk about our team during the regular season, I was kinda pissed hearing it all week this week. But after the game we had against the 2nd best team in the NFC (yes I would put Seattle as the number 2 team for a lot of reasons) I know we are gonna hear questions about our team. Bob Ryan from the Boston Herald was filling in on PTI friday on ESPN, he said the Packer's were a joke and the hype would end this weekend. Said he was sick of hearing about Brett Favre. Guess no one can steal the spotlight from fag bag brady, I think I'll go on a TV strike this week and watch no pregame analysis all week leading up to our championship game. This team believes in itself without a single doubt and its been beautiful to watch this season unfold. Go Giants!!!! One more home game at Lambeau would be nice, I'll try to get to this one.

We would not be the favorites in Dallas. The spread would probably be in the 2-3 point range.
For all of those who think we have no chance against the Pats, I'd like to say one thing, all the Packers need to do is be better on one day, not the better team in generaL but just better on the one day the game is going to be played if we make it that far.

[RashanGary]

I mean I consider them the slight favorite. I think the Packers ARE the best team in the NFC right now. I thought they were better 5 weeks ago but they were knicked up playing a healthy team and the scheduling was just brutal for travel down that stretch. Then there was the officials. I just htink everything went against the Packers that game. I think we can (and will) beat Dallas if we play them again.

The Giants would be a much better match up for us. We would be at home, they lost Shockey for the year, and if it's bad weather you would force their running game to beat us which is what I consider the strength of our defense. TO makes Dallas scary because he makes you play defense differently. The Giants don't have a guy that will demand the type of attention. Not only that, but Dallas has a lot more play makers on their defense.

The curse of Texas still has life. Go Giants !!

tHE cOWBOYS WILL WIN TODAY imo, but it will be close. Dallas has went away from their run game, they need to give Barber many moe touches.

[Harlan Huckleby]

It makes sense to want to see the Giants win, it's a much easier path to the Super Bowl. I want to see the Packers break the Texas curse, prove beyond any doubt they are the best team in the NFC. Guess that's more interesting to me.

Huh!? Pack have been media darlings this year.

[RashanGary]

They've been media darlings in the sense that everyone loves them and feels "boy, they're just happy to be there". They're not considered great though. Nobody I hear is calling them elite. Look at the probowl voting. Look at the all pro voting. They are under the radar when it comes to being considered a real contender. They are the "aw shucks" darlings but I don't hink anyone here or in the Packers organization is interested in being that.

Re: Dallas or New York?

I'd rather see the Packers go down to Dallas. Then they'll have the chance to really achieve something. A challenge is exciting, and it would be satisfying to FINALLY beat them. If the Giants slip past Dallas, there will always be a nagging feeling that Dallas is still the better team, and the Packers got a little lucky.

You still high from the gunge you smoked during the game?

Packers have a 50/50 chance if the game's in Dallas, 85-90% chance if it's the Giants in GB.

The NFL season all the way through is a challenge. We don't need no stinkin' extra challenges.

Take the path of least resistance. Giants in Lambeau and then play the Chargers in the Super Bowl.

In '96 the Cowboys beat the Packers. I've never felt a sense that the third Lombardi trophy is somehow tainted or lacks in any manner b/c there wasn't enough of a challenge b/c they beat Carolina, and didn't face Dallas in the NFC Championship Game.

Hogwash.

Good day Sir!

Logic says you want the game at Lambeau. Hard to argue with that logic.

Perhaps you should change from "Rogue Rat" to "Vulcan Rat", my logical friend.

According to a report I read, Barber is starting today instead of Julius Jones. First start for Barber this year.

Ya, getting to the Super Bowl is a big deal. But to me beating Dallas on the road would be the real satisfaction. (And I'm not counting on any glory against New England in the Super Bowl)

Carpe Diem!

Yup the road through Dallas seems better to me than the Giants at Lambeau.

Favre has to get the Monkey off his back. If we can't beat Dallas we certainly can't imagine defeating 'the Pats'.

Screw Dallas, go Giants and let the NFC Championship come through The Frozen Tundra
