    Packers at Cowboys Discussion Thread

    Packers lead all-time series 22-17. 17-13 in regular season, 5-4 in playoffs. Packers have won the last 5 meetings, 4 of them in Dallas.

    Last meeting: January 14, 2024. Packers defeated the Cowboys 48-32 in Dallas in wild card game. Packers took a 27-0 lead in the second quarter and coasted from there. Jordan Love completed 16-21 passes for 272 yards and 3 TD's for a passer rating of 157.2. Aaron Jones rushed for 118 yards and 3 TD's. Romeo Doubs caught 6 passes for 151 yards and 1 TD. Darnell Savage returned an INT 64 yards for a TD. Cowboys scored 2 late touchdowns to make the score appear closer than it really was. Dak Prescott threw for 403 with 3 TD's and 2 INT, much of that yardage late in the game.

    Cowboys come into the game 1-2. Offensively they rank 10th in points scored, 3rd in yards gained. Dak Prescott has completed 71% of his passes for 800 yards with 3 TD's and 3 INT's. Davonte Williams has rushed for 227 yards and 3 TD's averaging 5.3 YPC. CeeDee Lamb leads them with 227 receiving yards, but is expected to be out with an ankle injury. TE Jake Gerguson has caught 27 passes for 183 yards. George Pickens has caught 13 passes for 166 yards and 2 TD's.

    Defensively the Cowboys rank 28th in points allowed, 30th in yards allowed. Opposing QB's have completed 74% of passes for 864 yards with 7 TD's and 1 INT. Opponents have rushed for 329 yards and 4 TD's, averaging just 3.7 YPC. Cowboys have sacked opposing QB's just 3 times, 1 by Kenny Clark.

    Packers are favored by 6.
    Moneyline: Packers -275, Cowboys +225.
    Over/under: 48.5

    No CeeDee Lamb for the Cowboys. Two offensive line starters to miss the game for them also. A poor defense. A Packer team coming off an unexpected loss.

    This ought to add up to a Packer victory, maybe even in convincing fashion.

    Ought to.

    But The Flower needs to do a much better job game planning for this one, and a much better job getting his offensive line ready. And maybe put Bisaccia on notice that his special teams better start like they're special and not special ed.

      In need of depth and with two open roster spots, the Green Bay Packers are signing rookie offensive tackle Brant Banks from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

      Banks, an undrafted rookie out of Rice, has been on the practice squad since the start of the regular season. He was elevated to the gameday roster in Week 2 and played four snaps on special teams.

      The Packers are dealing with injuries to starting right tackle Zach Tom (oblique) and starting left guard Aaron Banks (groin), necessitating an addition up front on offense. When Tom and Banks weren't available to play Week 2, elevating Banks was the move. Now the rookie is on the active roster, and he'll join Jordan Morgan, Anthony Belton, Darian Kinnard and Donovan Jennings as available backups.

        They should beat DAL.
        Their defense has been giving up a lot of points, and I'm sure they have enough pride (and prodding from Jerrah) to want to show the world they don't suck without Micah.

        That said, GB has not lost in Jerryworld, and they absolutely should have hot piss after the Lake Erie fiasco. This feels like it will be close for about a half and then GB pulls away.
        Unlike CLE, I don't know what DAL does well (with Ceedee out and all their injuries) that they can hang their hat on.

        Basically, play better than vs. CLE and they should be fine.

        As for Brant Banks, I actually thought there was enough there you could work with to turn into a serviceable depth. If Banks and Tom can't go, they will have to play two of Kinnard, Belton and Morgan, so they need gametime depth behind that.

        I don't think Banks or Tom play, I think they use the bye to get plenty fo time to get healthy. FWIW, Banks needs to get healthy and play better fast or that contract is going to look very iffy.

          The Packers should be pissed at their performance in Clevland. They need to take it out on Dallas. The Bears pounded them, so no excuse for the Packers to not flatten them.

            If any good comes out of Sunday’s humiliating disaster, it is a convincing win against the hated cowboys. At least it was against an AFC team where this game is much more important from a standings perspective. If Love doesn’t want to get labeled as the new Dak he better get his shit in gear. Same goes for Pepe LePew. If he can skip going to get his hair cut and use that day for working on the gameplan would be awesome.

                I can't see anything but a Packer win here. If they lose, panic will set in for us fans. Me included. Even though I know better.

                    Tex should do the honor, given that the Cowfuckers are his 2nd favorite team.

                            That's actually a really good comparison. Can look great in stretches, but can't consistently not fuck up at a key time.

                              Well, Walker was looking at the super bowl before last weeks game and Micah was looking at Dallas (both made public comments). This week I'd bet everyone is focused on Dallas. I expect to win this one in convincing fashion. Double digits. My money will be on the Packers.
