CAN GB DEFEAT DALLAS IN DALLAS ?· Page 6

What we need in this game is an early lead and some semblance of a run defense. The biggest problem is we can't defend the pass adequately in a base defensive formation so our guys up front need to step up in the nickle and Dom needs to substitute in some big guys when Dallas runs heavy offensive formations instead of just staying nickle/dime no matter what the offense does. If we get a slow/sloppy start against Dallas it'll be trouble because they probably won't allow as many possessions to get a rhythm going.

I watched alot of dallas games this year (besides GB) - the lions actually had a good 1st 1/2 vs dallas trading blows with them; and then they just fell behind. I never did watch the last giants vs dallas game; have to check that one out.

That was early in the season when Dom was still trying to figure out what he had to work with between all the CB injuries... the Safeties have really stepped up since then and the CBs have finally been stable and they have trust in Gunter now. Also Capers completely over thought the defensive plan and tried hard to get all of the OLBers on the field at once which backfired early on.

If our best bet is the pressure of a #1 seed gets to them, then we're already lost because that's just plain stupid and completely overthought... because compared to an NFL defensive player trying to nail you, there is no pressure from a meaningless word. P.S. We have not already lost... because on the field is what matters.

Is it cold down there in Dallas? ... just remember it was cold when the Packers played the Super Bowl there with ice falling from the dome.

Really? You go from Packers can't win 8 games... to ... they're clearly going to beat the best team in the NFC? [wtf]

Seems like a trap for an I told you so either way the game goes.

I'm on Green Bay because Dallas is overrated. I recall the last time Dallas was a 1 seed. TO was crying and tried suicide not long after, if memory serves.

You underestimate the pressure of being a 1seed. They fail more than you'd think and this is a team who has 3 young stars two of which are weirdos. Barfarn pointed out Prescott's recent troubles. The rookie wall is supposed to be a real thing. Maybe, he hit it a few weeks ago.

Smokey. I'm sorry I don't fit what you're looking for. Didn't realize a football forum's aim was to make friendships. Shouldn't be to make enemies either. Sorry, I've made one from you. You remind me of a Walmart greeter. A friendly face to welcome you. Nothing wrong with that but friendship is way down on the list when discussing football for me.

2015 Both 1 seeds in Super Bowl
2014 Both 1 seeds in Super Bowl
2013 Both 1 seeds in Super Bowl
2012 AFC 4 seed vs NFC 2 seed in Super Bowl

Here's some cliches for y'all:

Anyone can be beat. We just gotta play our game.

Oh and when we have a chance to wrap up Zeke, we better get him down, because once he breaks a tackle or two, he's gone.

Death, taxes, and a team (and sometimes two) from Wild Card Weekend making at least the conference Championship Game – three things you can count on…especially over the last 10 seasons. If your team wins on Wild Card weekend don’t think for a second they are done.

EDIT: Something that hit me... Beware the home cooking officiating in this one. Dallas is this years media ratings bonanza. Not that we're any slouch, but the Cowboys rising to prominence is what the league loves. We might be on the receiving end of a Dez didn't catch it call this time.

Just because the top seed loses, it doesn't mean it had anything to due with the pressure of being the top seed.
It's just as likely it's because they got over relaxed with their bye week...

And much more likely than either of those two, that the winning team simply played better and had match-ups that favored them that day and had nothing to do with pressure or relaxed before the game.

Like the Packers beating the #1 seeded Falcons in their dome (which is why I think a dome might be good for Rodgers), Rodgers was unstoppable that day... and the Falcons didn't have the pass rush to do anything about it.

The bottom line is being a 1 seed is of little consequence in my eyes. It's a watered down NFL and Dallas did not blow people out this year...they played some very close games, and beat some really bad teams, like SF, late.

beast (52m) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (17h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (18h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
