Green Bay "Fudge" Packers
2-0
AT
Lambeau Field
Both teams are coming off a huge wins vs. the division rivals, in very close games.
-Living in Wisconsin this game is very big. Last year, even though the Cowboys won the regular season match up, Packer fans still hold on to the fact that they went further then us in the playoffs.
In last year's meeting the Cowboys came out of the gates hot. They went up early, and knocked Favre out of the game. Aaron Rodgers came in and completed 18 passes for 201 yards, with no interceptions. He also threw his first touchdown pass, but was sacked three times. Rodgers brought the team back from a 17 point deficit to a 3 point deficit, but the Cowboys went on to win 37–27.
Packer fans to this day claim that game would have been different if Rodgers played the whole game. Well Packer fan's you have your wish! Let's see how well Rodgers plays when we actually game plan for him.
Keys to the game:
On Defense:
We MUST stop the passing game. Roy Williams being out should help us
. Watkins played well Sunday, and hopefully T-New should be healthy enough to start. Greg Jennings will get his, no doubt the guy can flat out play. Driver looks to be on the decline, but is always a threat.. We can live with Driver n Jennings getting a few catches here and there but we cannot afford to let guys like Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Ruvell Martin kill us. Nelson is a quick little rookie out of KSU, and has the same style as Deshawn Jackson, but is not as explosive. The running game should be easy to stop, Ryan Grant is not 100% healthy. We need to rattle Rodgers early, in the first two games, the Packers gave Rodgers plenty of time in the pocket. Let's bring the heat, send the backers. BEWARE of DWARE!!!!
If you give this team confidences, and get those cheese heads involved this game will be closer then we want.
On offense:
I like the game plan, let Marion Barbarian grind it out, then go up top to T.O. However the Packers do have a very good secondary. It's Romo's first professional game in his home state of WISCONSIN, let's see how he handles the pressure. For the love of god Tony, no more popcorn before the game!
Outside of the Eagles, the Packers posse the biggest threat to the Cowboys in the NFC. A win here and we solidify to the NFL we are in fact the best team not only in the NFC but in the NFL.
