Assuming GB moves past the NYG, can GB travel to Dallas and hogtie the Cowboys ?

IMO, GB can compete against the Dallas Defense, what bothers me is can GB contain the Dallas Offense ? The NY game will tell the tale. F**k the damn stats, does GB's Defense have the physical ability to compete and most important do they have the heart to play beyond their physical abilities ? If so, then Dallas could find themselves in a street-fight. The final outcome could rest with the foot of Mason Crosby.

THis team led the league against the run earlier in the year. They'd bring Pennell back for that, if they still can.

The Gurlz' weakness is their rookie QB. If there's one thin that Dom is good for (and it might be just one,) it's beating rookie QBs. Dallas's emphasis on the run plays to our strength, our weakness being pass defense.

We can beat Dallas. We can also beat the Giants. Let's hope we do.

100% YES. Dallas is a mirage. A very near future fart in the wind. One and done written all over them.

I watched the first 14 Cowboys games. I missed the last two due to some family issues out of state. Not sure how Dallas had the season they had outside of that special OL they have. Their D is pretty beatable. Not quite as bad as ours but it's not that far off. Difference is Sean Lee who when he's not hurt is a super star. Byron Jones can play, too. Aaron can torch Brown in the secondary with ease and the rest of them, also.

Beasley will likely be a thorn in our side like last time... too quick and shifty. Dez should lunch whatever scrub of ours we put on him. Our DL hopefully can and will do a better job controlling Elliott. Dallas eats the clock up so Aaron better not have a cold spell of 3 and outs or not moving the ball. The Giants beat them twice. The Giants! Why? They have the front 7 to match that imposing OL of theirs.

My belief is we can win this one if we can get up from the get go and just pedal to the metal it. Be nice to force a fumble but we're not noted for that and haven't been for a long time. Dak can't wing it like Aaron can. Nowhere close. Ty caught 10 balls vs. them last time.

I'm a big believer in intangibles. This is the place Aaron had his coming out party when Brett got hurt. It is also the place he played out of his mind to lead us to a win and MVP in the SB. He will be wearing his comfortable shoes. Track meet the game and we win. Tempo has to be in our favor or they'll just run over us and we're not going to have enough plays on O. Additionally, Dallas embarrassed us at Lambeau. There has to be a bit of chip on Aaron's shoulder as well as the entire team for playing so poorly. I'm sure Aaron will take care of the ball much better in this one which could be the difference, too.

We'll beat Dallas if we can beat NY. Keep an eye on that Seattle/ATL tilt. That's where we're going next. Curse Catanzaro for missing that chippy to give Seattle the tie and the better seeding than us.

No because They will be shut down by the NYG defense and little Manning will carve up the Packer secondary so they won't make it to Dallas. Even if they did, Dallas would be even more difficult to defeat.

Not sure if the team coming through in "these situations" is a reference to Dallas or NY? I'd have to guess Dallas because we're better in an underdog role, and it wouldn't make much sense to speak to the Giants game only in a Dallas thread even though there's no paragraph break.

nerd is picking the Packers? That is a revelation! 😕 😁

wpr appears to be the only one who is picking NY. Isn't he from there?

I'll be flying tomorrow and won't be able to see the game and I won't be shocked to hear we won or lost this one. The only shock would be is if we put it on them ala Seattle.

My hope is next weekend Dez is wearing some big dark ugly sunglasses giving a teary presser saying..."That's my quarterback..." UNFAIR!

U2, I am from IL not from NY. Haven't you heard the phrase, "Past performance is not an indicator of future results."? Gambling lines mean nothing. All the bookies want is half of the betters to choose one team and half of the betters to choose the other. The line opened at 4 points. Most people are picking the Packers. I am ok with that. I hope they do win.

Safe journey.

Wow, haven't even played Giants yet and we're worrying about Cowboys? Pump the damn brakes!!

One game at a time. Let's get though today then spend a week talking about Cowboys if we win.

I think the Giants are more difficult for us than Dallas. We are lucky to play the Giants at home but even then it will be a very difficult game.
Prescott is not Manning, Dallas is not going anywhere.

wpr (6h) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
