Cowboys Week

[ThunderDan]

Anyone going to this game? I'm flying into Milwaukee Saturday for a wedding and a bunch of friends are already going so I might try to get some tickets and make the trip.

Can I get tickets on the spot if I arrive early or do I need to do stubhub? Just don't really want them shipped and then miss 'em without a stationary location. Hoping this is possible to pull off last minute without costing a mini-fortune. Any advice from the locals?

This is one of the Gold package games so I will be there! We plan on being up by 3pm to drink and get ready for the game. Would love to meet anyone for a beer or two.

I would have gone to this game, but its the week that we pack for deer camp. normally we are already at deer camp for the second Gold Ticket game.

Yeah, that sounds cool. We'll have to PM numbers this week and make it happen. I plan to make a whole day out of it so I'll be up there early(ish ... depending on how crazy the wedding reception is).

I went to the Dallas game last year with my kid without any tickets. I waited until 5 minutes prior (go to the corner by the Hutson Center Field) and bought $250 seats for $100 from a guy…..great seats. Most of the others were still trying to get a premium; I think he just wanted to go home.

I'm gonna guess their will be tickets available at the game as the cowboys aren't playing well. the longer you wait on game day the more the ticket price will go down.

That's good to know. I haven't been to GB for a game since I was a kid so this is pretty exciting for me. Glad I can just get tickets up there. I like the whole "in-hand" method of purchase. Also plan to take my wife to the Giants game the day after XMAS too if anyone's going to that.

It's sooooooo too bad Michelle went south. She was great for this kind of thing.

But if you do go with StubHub, they have a will call window set up. Last time I went, I picked the tickets up at a hotel a block or so from the stadium. For the Pack/Redskins game, they had a window right in the stadium. That said, we scalp Ravens tickets a couple times a year which is fine if you don't mind the possibility of not getting them and going to the bar across the street to watch the game.

this game scares the hell out of me. the cowgirls look horrible, and last week they looked like a team that has quit.

but this week the whole team has been called out and we could be facing a team with a lot to prove and with a ton of motivation for this game

Agree. This has "Trap Game" written all over it. The Packers confidence right now is high, which is good. As long as they don't let it get to their heads.

[vince]

Cowboys defense is getting torched through the air. They've given up 15 TD passes despite facing the least amount of pass attempts in the NFL. They're not stopping the run either, giving up 4.5 YPC.

Offensively, only Denver is worse at rushing the football. The Cowboys can move the ball through the air, or at least they could when Romo was in there. They certainly do have talent at the WR/TE positions. However, no running game and an immobile QB is a bad combination against the Packers.

The Packers win this game if they play relatively error-free football. The Cowboys will have some motivation, but I think the Packers have more to be motivated about. I don't think they'll look past the Cowboys.

Probably the kiss of death, but I'm with you here Joe. The Cowboys are not good in the trenches, and give up a ton of points. I see little chance of the Packers coming out flat at home on Sunday night before the bye. The Packers match up very well on both sides of the ball. Solid football will win this game. The Packers are teh ones playing it.

Yep, too many things are aligning themselves that we're supposed to lay a massive whopping on Dallas. I still believe we'll win, but perhaps not as convincingly as many want.

[Joemailman]

I don't see this is a trap game. Usually a trap game is a game the week before a "big" game. With no game next week, I expect the Packers should have no problem focusing on the Cowboys.

This team has lost 3 games by a total of 9 points. I can't imagine them overlooking anybody.

[hoosier]

If you just look at statistics it is hard to believe that the Cowboys have been so bad this year. They rank 14th in total offense and total defense, though a lot lower in total points. Their turnover differential isn't THAT bad. They must be making a lot of mistakes and having trouble on 3rd down to have generated such a crappy start.

[vince]

I'm pretty sure they're horrendous when it comes to penalties. They have been in the couple games I've seen them. Just an undisciplined team.

[Joemailman]

Vince is right about the penalties. Only the Packers are worse, and the Packers have improved lately. Cowboys are -11 in turnover differential. Only Denver and San Francisco are worse. Being penalty and turnover prone will get you beat in the NFL.

[hoosier]

I guess undisciplined isn't too far removed from going into the tank, which is what we saw with them last week. Hopefully they don't come out motivated and pissed after a week of hearing how they lay down and quit against Jax.
