Matt Flynn beat the Cowboys last season with not having training camp or preseason or much of anything in his favor. Cowboys have a new defensive coordinator, but it won't matter with Aaron Rodgers.

Tony Romo was flustered by the Lions blitzing and I'm confident Dom Capers picked up on that and will dial up some NASCAR blitzing for him. If the secondary keeps their hands on the ball, easy win.

Two possibilities scare me. ST and Dez running uncovered over the middle.

Good game to cultivate ToP.

Not saying I don't blame Dom either. A large part of being a coach or coordinator is teaching. Get your guys on the same page, Dom.

Rockmolder is going to love me for this comment.

If it comes down to quarterbacks, Packers will win by two touchdowns, minimum.

If Aaron Rodgers is healthy through the entire game, we win.
If not, it will be a LONG day.

Which as you say could make for a long day.

Well, for me, if this hinges on Rodgers than Rodgers hinges on Lacy and Lacy hinges on the Oline. IF all these components work out it still hinges on the D holding up their end of the bargain.
Last week Romo got pummeled in the 1st half and had Detroit been able to keep that up Dallas wouldn't be coming to GB this Sunday. The Oline play improved and Romo made enough plays in the second half to win. So did that win hinge on Romo or the Oline?
If the Pack wins the next three it will be because 45 guys stepped up and played big when they needed too. Rodgers the least of which to worry about holding up his end.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (5h) : HUMP DAY

beast (5h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (5h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (5h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (5h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (5h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (5h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (5h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (5h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (6h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (7h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (7h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (7h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (7h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (21h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.
