I haven't seen any Dallas games this year so I have no idea what their strengths are. Judging by their record, I'd say they don't have any. Yet on an individual basis.

DeMarcus Ware and Miles Austin are the only Cowboys that I remember.


Secondly, overall and scheme-wise, they are fourth overall in Offense and third in passing yards per game in the league thus far:

NFL Team Stats 


Their running game always used to scare me more than anything. With our run D, I would say that this game is easily ours to win as their running game hasn't been a factor all season (by the stats) and won't be here. If it's up to Kitna to beat us in the passing game, then Sunday night will be a fun drunk night for many in WI.

I'd like to see our offense move the chains regularly and generate points to put the pressure on their offense. I would also say that I don't know their Oline but Clay Matthews will have a multiple sack game (as we'll get up by 10 and they will forego the run).

What are your thoughts and what match ups do you recommend watching?

Ware v Cliffy will be a great one to watch.

The Cowboys have tons of talent but they are massively underperforming. It is a sad sight reviewing the Cowboys this season. Poor play by their receivers with drops and tipped balls turned into interceptions has killed many drives and games that could have been won. Are the Cowboys better than their record? Talent wise, yes. Execution wise, no. Execution is all that matters and if our defense can continue to hamper their O then we could see a blow out. However, if we do not respect their talent and playmakers we could be in for a close game.

Their defense has also been underperforming. Although their talent is aging and not as high as on O they still have a decent to good defense. Their biggest pitfall has been consitency. When they get down they go DOWN. They had big plays in their game against the Giants but once Manning and Co. got the momentum the Dallas D looked apathetic and done. They allow 320+ yards a game and their run D is giving up 120+ yards a game.

My #1 match up is Jackson v Dallas D. If there has ever been a struggling run D for Jackson to be given bulk carries this is it.

My #2 match up is Clay Matthews vs either T. Columbo is by far the stronger T than Free, but Matthews could be in the backfield against either.

I think you mean Miles Austin...

---

Yes, I was trolling their roster site sorted by last name. I'll correct it.

---

Another interesting note is that Dallas is the second to last team in Rushing yards per game.

coaching/smart playcalling will win this game.

good news for us, the boys are pretty bad in that department.

---

Heh. If their coach is back next year, I'll be just as surprised if Chilly's coaching the Vikings next year.

Kitna is serviceable, and whe probably has the most talented team he's ever been on. Dez Bryant and Miles Austin can be threats, but I think it's going to revolve more around their two running backs in Felix Jones and Marion Barber.

I don't think any of these guys will present problems, but Kitna does have two safety blankets at the tight end position. Jason Witten is still one of the best int he league, and on the other side they have the speedy Martellus Bennett. These are the guys who can make plays against our D, depending on how sound Matthews and whoever opposite him plays.

Their defense shouldn't pose much of a threat unless Chad Clifton really struggles against DeMarcus Ware.

---

Clay Matthews against anybody. Kitna is a stationary target back there. The Packers should be inspired by their two big victories coming into this game and motivated by the idea of going into the bye week on a high note. And I'd love to see Al Harris back on the field.

What will the Match-ups at corner vs. wide out look like?

I got tramon vs. dez because dez is probably the most explosive then charles vs. roy so woodson can play off a bit and roam around and finally al/sam vs. miles i think sam plays more than al but im not to sure about this match-up either way. Your thoughts?

I'll throw in witten vs. atari/peprah/nick collins/rest of defense
