This is a huge opportunity for Gary and the Packers DL. Tyron on the left is holding on by a string, Tyler at LG has a torn plantar, and Steele is easy to beat.  They should have a field day getting after Dak, especially after they figure out we can’t run the ball to save our lives and will pass early and often.  Just pin the ears back and fly, keeping a LB with some speed on whichever RB we try and leak out the backfield after a lousy chip block attempt.

On offense, they should pound the ball early, often, and don’t ever stop.  Use some play action and a couple double moves on Bland and Love should have a 300yd 3TD performance with Jones and Co racking on another 150+

Nobody is giving GB credit but this won’t be a blowout and I can see both teams hanging 30+ on the other D.  If you’re betting this game or a fan, have some Pepto and some Tums nearby, it’s going to be a wild one, haha

It’s hard to overstate how much anxiety this matchup instills in Dallas fans. Last time we played GB in the playoffs as a favorite, we scored 3 points on our first three drives and went down 21-3 en route to a 34-31 upset. Need to avoid a similar slow start as I suspect this game will be offensively oriented.

I will note, I felt pretty similarly back in Week 2 as the Jets randomly had our number back when Garrett was HC. This team under McCarthy has achieved a higher level of performance and rarely plays down to competition. But the fear that this team will come out slow at home in the playoffs will persist until they come out and blow the doors off someone.

If DAL wins, it’ll likely come as a result of some stalwart superstar performances from the team’s key vets (Dak, Lamb, Parsons, Lawrence, Gilmore, the OL) and the game may not be very close. If GB wins, I think it’ll be clear that their lack of experience was a benefit as DAL suffers from self-imposed errors, coaching malpractice, general jitters.

No clue - all I did was hit reply and type a post, haha.  I didn't change the font or color

This GB team is so Jekyll and Hyde, there's a 50% chance you dominate and a 50% it's a good game. Thus, I give DAL a minimum 75% chance to win.

no idea how it isn't on literally EVERYONE'S ignore list by this point

Some people can actually handle hearing opinions that clash with their own views. The ignore feature is for people with weak minds.

Mods, doesn't this kind of thing usually draw at least a warning

lol only on FF would someone think this. Someone que the Lebron gif where he escorts the ref over to the crowd that got under his skin.

You do realize I was responding to someone that was making a repeated personal attack, right? If you can’t take the heat stay out of the kitchen. 
 

I tried to steer the conversation back to the game several times. And yet here you are still trying to make it about me. Don’t be part of the problem lol. Think the mods can do their jobs just fine.

Exactly this.. at least the first part. I’m sorry that I’m good at defending my viewpoints *shrugs*
