I did NOT think this would happen. The 2023 Packers made it into the playoffs. Granted, 7 of 16 isn't saying much. I just did NOT think they had it in them during a growth season to get into the playoffs.

Yes, we gonna get bounced out, but damn, the playoff experience for this young team is gonna make them HUNGRY in 2024. Just like that 2009 Wild Card made them hungry in 2010.

You can't assume they will get bounced out. The Lions went toe to toe with the cowboys and we beat the lions.

We should be confident because our offense is deep with talent.

You're right. But it's about matchups. Some teams are matchup nightmares for another team. What's Cowboys good at? What aren't they good at? What are we good and bad at?

And can our coaches exploit those weaknesses?

One major thing that cannot go unsaid. Cowboys have a lot of pressure. Dak trying to get his first playoff win, right? Cowboys back to back to back 12 win seasons with nothing to show for it except Division Title.

Packers got ZERO pressure and ZERO expectations. It's like house money.

Cowboys have beat up a lot of crappy teams to get where they are at. They have a losing record vs teams above .500 while the Packers have a winning record. The only thing im worried about is Joe barry and the Cowboys being a different beast at home.

But again, win or lose, this season has been a huge success as is!

I am with you. Joe Barry is my biggest fear. Can he be aggressive or gonna play it weak trying to keep everything in front of him with soft zone and Cover 2?

I honestly think we are a good match up vs Dal. They may have Lamb but their run game is weak. We have 3-5 WR's who can make plays and have a run game. I wouldnt be shocked if we won. I dont expect it but just saying..

If you told me at the end of October the same thing, I would have called you a liar and/or wonder what the hell you were smoking (before asking if I could have some to dull the pain). This team was 2-5 and looked dead in the water. To even get back in the playoff hunt was a huge achievement, let alone making it.

I actually like this match-up better than the Detroit one. I also like the Rams vs Detroit match-up given the Stafford & Goff story and could definitely see the Rams winning.

My biggest concern is we are not getting many turnovers. With Dak that often is the key to beating the Cowboys. Perhaps if Barry keeps dialing up the pressure we win the turnover battle.

If Jones is healthy and gets a bunch of touches I can see him having a big day and us winning the time of possession. I hope that LaFleur doesn't forget about him. I'd hate to say that Dillon being injured might have been a blessing because they used Jones as the feature back for practically the whole game, but it certainly forced their hand in a do-or-die game.

Martha Careful (5h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (5h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Rude!

beast (9h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (13h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (15h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (17h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : 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.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

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
