Packers vs. Cowboys *Showdown Thursday*

[studcrackers]

I figured id make a thread on this

1st off how many people will actually be able to see the game

and 2nd who do you think will win the game

fun fact: brett favre is 0-8 at Texas Stadium

[ReasonablySober]

Unless BW3s has the NFL Network I'm not gonna be able to watch it.

I see the game going the same way the Pats/Cowboys game went. Green Bay spreading Dallas out and going up and down the field.

I can't see Dallas keeping up.

Game of the Century Part II.
Two 10-1 teams going at it.

[studcrackers]

i dont see why you think we cant keep up with you, in the patriot game anthony henry didnt play at all, he'll play some against you.

plus isnt charles woodson questionable or doubtful for the game? i doubt al harris will be shadowing TO all game, and then you have to stop witten and barber

u NFL Network

But they don't have Brett Favre. He has played outstanding this year and made our passing game dominant. It'll be one hell of a battle.

I get to watch it on local tv because I live in Milwaukee.

The Cowboys have never won at Lambeau

The Cowboys have never won at Lambeau

Which means nothing in this game lol.

Woodson being out would be a huge blow. I'm also hearing KGB is doubtful and he might be just as important.

Owens will probably get his, but Harris will make him work for it. There isn't a CB in the NFL playing better this season IMO. He truly is a shut-down corner. Woodson gets all the press but ask any Packer fan who they would least like to lose from that secondary and they'd say Al.

IMO there are two key things to look at in this game:

1 - Green Bay's defensive line and their pressure on Romo. If they can bring him down and make him uncomfortable, I like Green Bay's chances.

2 - Witten vs Hawk. While WRs have had almost no success vs the Packers this season, tight ends tend to come up big. My guess is Hawk will be on Witten and AJ hasn't exactly been stellar in coverage.

Could mean something if the NFC championship is at Lambeau

Romo is no joke either. I ll be rooting for y'all though.

Lies.

The Cowboys have won there 3 times and theyve won there more recently than the Packers have at Texas Stadium.

Is McCarthy really that stupid? I mean i know he looks like Puddy but i didnt think he was as stupid as he looks.

I think the Packers Oline vs Dallas's D is much more of a concern than Dallas Oline vs Packer's D.

The earliest date the Cowboys beat the Pack at the Packers stadium during regular season was 1991, which was at Milwaukee.

Also the previous times the Cowboys beat the Pack for an away game was also in Milwaukee.

In 1997 and 2004 both teams matched up at Lambeau and the Packers won both, 41-20 and 45-17.

Hopefully next year is the end of this NFL Network crap. Seriously, two 10-1 teams and about 20% of Americans will get to watch this game. Luckily I bought the local sports package so I could get NFL Network so I get to see this game. $7 a month is way to much money to be wasting on a crappy package so I am dropping it as soon as the Bears/Redskins game is over next week. I know they will be showing Bears/Redskins on a local network but I want the HD version of it. [stupid analogy]Watching a sporting event without HD is like having a Pizza with no cheese, it just doesn't work. [/stupid analogy]

Meh, I forgot about them playing in Milwaukee. Whatever, they were still home games for the Packers in Wisconsin.

Call it a trade off and it's worked thus far. They don't give up big plays to the WRs and let a linebacker, likely AJ, work on the TE. I can live with that.

As for the line matchup, nobody gets to Favre. He simply doesn't take sacks and it's rare he's even hurried.

The Packers have given up two fewer sacks than the Cowboys despite throwing the ball 73 more times. The Packers have also sacked the QB more often.

The Cowboys sacked Brady 3 times (The Patriots only have given up 13 sacks this season), and that was with Ellis just returning. Now that Ellis is fully healthy hes been causing havoc next to Warewolf. Its also led to Canty getting in the backfield alot too. It would be shocking if the Cowboys dont get to Favre a couple times.

second best game of the season.
