    Packers need to be able to run the ball and shorten the game. We cannot afford to get into a shoot-out with the Cowgirls.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

      Correct. Good news is teams have been able to run some on the Cowboys, and Aaron Jones is on a roll. Would be nice to get Dillon back too.

          Let Jaire man up on what's-his-name and bring the heat the rest of the way. I think the Packers are gonna win.

            If we play zone and don't get pressure we will get destroyed, man up and get pressure and Dak will fold.

            Love needs to make the throws and the boys need to make the contested catches. Jones with a 100 yard day will be critical.
            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.

              This is one of the keys to the game. Dak can be had if you get in his grill early.

              Too soon to tell, but my impression is Love handles heat pretty well.

              I'm starting to feel some confidence, here.

                Last year Jones and Dillon combined had 37 rushes for over 200 yards. Rodgers only threw 20 passes. That's how you beat the Cowboys. Lions nearly pulled it off couple of weeks ago.

                  It's likely gonna be a shoot out. I think our offense can win it - unless Barry's defense just doesn't give up a bunch of big plays.
                  What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                    Barry's D will absolutely hemorrhage yards. I think DAL is the better team, but Packers are hot and momentum means a lot in the playoffs. Agree DAL D is not great vs. the run and Aaron Jones has been on a tear lately.

                    I expect DAL wins but GB shows plenty of fight.

                      Packers were 3-6 and coming off 5 straight losses when they beat the 6-2 Cowboys last year. I think a win this Sunday would be less of an upset than that despite what the point spread says.

                      Packers are 4-0 at AT&T Stadium. 5-0 if you include Super Bowl.

                        Packers are 100-1 to win the Owl. I dropped a C note.

                          You will get 10Gs? Where can I drop a $10 for me and tank?

                          This is a fun match up. The No-Rodgers Bowl pits just LeFleur vs M3 for the first time ever!

                            Who burns the first seemingly unnecessary timeout? McCarthy or Lafleur?

                              Who wastes a challenge on a call we all agree after 3 seconds wasn’t worth challenging.
                              The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
