Official Gameday Thread: Packers @ Cowboys

[Pacopete4]

this was a weird game because we saw how horshit we can be, but we also saw how good we can be... fellas we were down 27-10 and came back and had a chance to take the game at the end.. too me thats impressive and i cant believe im being so positive about this game but hell... lets get healthy and beat the crap outta them in the playoffs

[GBRulz]

If I'm Dallas, I'm worried about facing this GB team again when they are healthy.

Rodgers did a helluva job on trying to bring this team back and I feel better about our future with him.

Now...the scoop everyone wants to know...how bad is Favre's injury.

[4and12to12and4]

We'll be back.

And we will have a chip on our shoulder. What the hell was Brett's problem though. He went apenuts with the long ball for a while there. It makes me wonder if that's how he's gonna play in the playoffs, reverting back to the Favre of old trying to do too much and not play within the system like he's been doing all year. It was like he went back two years in time. What was that all about?

[mmmdk]

All things considered...we did ok with #4 gone..Woodson gone...KGB gone...
Pass interference gave them two big first downs one of them being ticky tacky. The INT Harris had take away.
Dallas has the best O line...as good as the Pats..an OK D. Romo made all the right reads.

We can get them next time,.

It's possible...but it'll be in Dallas and Dallas is not the place Packers want to play 'cos the losses are piling up there. Revenge factor? Or fear factor?

Dallas totally dominated the trenches today. That will also happen if we play them down the road imo. I'm not seeing why you all are so optimistic about a future meeting in the playoffs.

I think the above is what we all are clinging to now. Let's get the division title first though; the job ain't done yet.

Because you can adjust. Most of our OL is less than 100% right now. Most of our DL isn't even playing at all.

We need to get healthy bulldog...you can't expect a team with as many injuries as we have up front on both sides right now to match a team like Dallas that is hitting their stride and getting healthy right now.

Hopefully, they will have peaked too early...but I just hope we take the next month to get healthy.

[Brohm]

3 games in 11 days. last 2 on the road. Dallas was home for the last 2. I would expect us to be in much better shape the second time.

I agree. Ryan Grant got damn lucky he squeezed through that hole on the big run. He is a great player. Dallas' line is absolutely massive. I think there were only two or three hits on Romo all night and when that happens Sanders should have started blitzing more frequently.

Why would there be a fear factor. This was the first game in Dallas for everyone except Favre. Losses previous to tonight mean nothing.

I agree. It's hard to be that mad at Harris as well as Favre for having such a lousy game since they have won so many for us in the past.
I look forward to a rematch with Woodson, KGB, and Jolly back and after McCarthy has had a long, serious sitdown with #4 and #31.

I think Packers have a chance but I'm at the stage where Packers simply need to get healthy and make some important changes in the secondary. Bigby was atrocious today plus Al Harris should still start but Al was terrible today. Bush too.

Winning in Dallas is not something I expect from Packers this year but there's a fighting chance.

[privatepacker]

To me the difference in the game was the lines. The Packer's tackles on offense weren't protecting and our d-line got very little pressure on Romo. It was the lack of pressure that allowed their receivers to run over GB's DBs. Except Bush, he was just horrible. No excuse for his play.
If Green Bay can play the Cowboys again I hope that they will stick to their offense and try to put more pressure on Romo.
10-2 not a bad start for a team that I thought would only win 9 games at the most.

[b bulldog]

I agree but the Cowboys top 2 Db's were banged up and Owens had lots of drops. The Owens, Harris matchup will kill us again and we still can't cover the TE and we got mauled by their Oline even when blitzing. We were dominated, let me repeat, dominated in the trenches.

[AtlPackFan]

Romo made all the right reads.

He had all day...any NFL quarterback would look like a HOFer given that amount of time. Have to hand it to them...they have a great offensive line.
