Still No Respect; We have to Prove More...

[POLISHHAWK]

Listening to Aikman on Dallas game.... He said Green Bay is not in the same league as Dallas.

Listening to Costas & Collinsworth... they said Green Bay is not as good as Dallas.

I guess shutting out a division rival does nothing for credability. Niether does putting up 34 points and driving at will on a very good Defense.

That's Good for us.... I guess we can keep staying under the radar.

Tell them to shut down a healthy Adrian Peterson.

They prolly werent even able to view the GB/Minnesota game anyway. They had that awesome competitive game between Philly and Washington to swoon over.

Heard the same thing - I think that most analysts can't fathom that the Packers might be good. Most analysts had thrown dirt on them before the year started - so to deviate from then would take too much thinking.

I find it funny that they say we need a running game - and here we put up 100 yrds on one of the best run Ds of the league and they still have problems with us.

Still, I would rather go under the radar - keeps our team focused.

honestly, do you think we will beat Dallas in 3 weeks?? I don't but this team has far done more than I ever thought they would

[Deputy Nutz]

All I heard on the Fox OT program was that Dallas and Green Bay were the class of the NFC. Dallas is a really good football team, face it, their only lose was to the Pats, and they were good enough to overcome 6 turnovers by their Quarterback on the road against Buffalo.

I think the Packers are going to have a very hard time going into Dallas and winning that football game.

[Guiness]

I don't know if they'll beat Dallas or not, but to continue to say we're not a good team is asinine. 8-1 is no fluke, we're good, and the analysts seem to have trouble coming to terms with just how wrong they were before the season.

We put 100yd on the ground against a top run D - so you can no longer say the yards against Denver were a fluke. And everyone's knock against us was that we couldn't run.

[RIPackerFan]

Personally, I like our D better than Dallas' - the offense is slightly better than ours - our special teams better than theirs.

I think we are evenly matched.

[Carolina_Packer]

I hope the national media and anyone else who has an opinion continues to disrespect us. We're 8-1 now; their lack of love seems to be helping. I don't think this team will get over-confident. I don't think the coaching staff and veteran leadership will allow that. It's much easier when there are low expectations rather than a target on one's back.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Aikman... saying Dallas is a great team? Say it ain't so.

[gbgary]

well........perception is reality so until we DO something to prove different dallas will be thought of as the better team. it's gonna come down to the Green Bay/dallas game and only a win by the Packers will change anyone's minds. i like the underdog roll here. staying under the radar and building confidence from within will help this young team. the pressure is on dallas.

I find it interesting how all these experts still continue to praise such Conference contenders as the New York Giants, Chargers, Chiefs, Redskins, and the Eagles. Those happen to be also teams the Packers have beaten this
year.

Enough said.

it's because coming into the season these teams were supposed to be good. other than the giants it didn't happen. the Packers on the other hand weren't supposed to be good so they're thought of as a fluke.

[RIPackerFan]

So the Chargers are beating the Colts - 16-0. Since we killed the Vikes, who beat the Chargers and if the Chargers beat the Colts - do we leap frog ahead of the Colts in Power Rankings?

Somehow, I think regardless of the outcome of the game, we still don't get the respect and go ahead of the Colts.

Can't you just simplify that down by saying we beat the Chargers....

The Packers need to beat the Panthers next week (I'll be at the game!) and beat the Lions on T'giving day to meet the "Boys at 10 & 1 to get some respect.

Cowboy stadium has not been friendly to the Pack over the years, but if they are able to rise up and beat America's SECOND favorite team, they will finally garner some much deserved respect.
