First of all, we can start with the old premise that the Cowboys put their pants on one leg at a time and aren't 10 feet tall. They're a talented football team but so are the Packers.
Duh... I dont think anybody really believes the Packers
cant beat Dallas... But will they?

Dallas is just built differently. Jerry Jones has been trying to buy a championship ever since he let the dynasty Jimmy Johnson built for him slip away. So he purchases mercenaries like T.O. PacMan, Tank Williams. And they haven't won a playoff game in 12 years.
First of all, what the hell does any of that have to do with the game on Sunday? Dallas not winning in the playoffs last year, isn't gonna stop them from beating the Packers on Sunday... Just like the Cowboys win over the Packers last year, isn't really going to help them either...
And btw, PacMan and Tank aren't even starters for us....

The Packers, of course, build by the draft. They're a younger team but have already accomplished much. They may not have as many well known names but they're solid football players.
Dallas doesn't build through the draft ? Man, your ignorance is showing here...
Dallas is all about the draft! They're constantly stockpiling draft picks... In 2005 and 2008, they had TWO 1st-Rounders... Next year, they'll have TWO 3rd-Rounders and TWO 4th-Rounders...
15 of the Dallas starters were drafted by Cowboys...
17 of the Green Bay starters were drafted by the Packers... Both teams believe in building through the draft...
The Packers are a slightly younger team, but Dallas is also a very young team.... And contrary to your statement, that young team, actually hasn't accomplished anything, not with Rodgers under center...

The Packers will get the Cowboys at home for a change, where they've almost always won. Dallas comes in on a short week following their emotional effort Mon. night against Philly. That's where the Cowboys shot their bolt.
Actually, Dallas is 3-3 in their last 6 ROAD games versus the Packers... However the 3 Dallas wins, were in Milwaukee... Tony Romo is 12-2 in road games for his career, but this one might actually count as home game for Romo...
I do agree that Dallas could have somewhat of a letdown after such an emotional win last week...

The Packers started too tight in last year's game between 10-1 teams down there. They'll be a much more confident and poised team from the start this time.
How do you know? That's really just you guessing, again... This is only Rodgers' 3rd start! Dallas is the best football team he has
ever played in his life! I think you're making some big assumptions there...
Packerlifer said:
Whenever Brett Favre went to Dallas he went wild, especially early. Aaron Rodgers won't be that way, as he showed coming in to rally the team in last year's game. He'll be more patient, take what the defense gives and seize opportunity for a big play when it presents instead of trying to force one that isn't there.
Again, you're making a lot of assumptions... And again, I remind you, Dallas is the best football team he has
ever played in his life! That doesn't mean that he cant/wont win this game, he's ready to be a NFL QB, but this is only his 3rd start... Sooner than later, he's gonna have a bad game... It's the nature of the league, especially for an inexperienced QB... He's gonna make some mistakes, and he'll have to take his lumps...

Last year the Packers played that game in D without Ryan Pickett, Johnny Jolly and Charles Woodson in the defensive lineup.
Sad when I know more about your team than you..... Ryan Pickett did play in that game... Aside from that, we wont be 100% on Sunday, but if we lose, I would never try to use injuries as an
excuse... And especially not if my team had been beaten soundly, as the Packers were last November...
Packerlifer said:
I haven't checked in to the difference between Dallas playing on artificial turf and natural grass but they're still a speed team designed for the rug they play on at home.
You're really reaching here... They went 13-3 last year, you wont do that if you cant play on grass...

A year ago at this point the Packers were 2-0 and coming home to face an awesome Chargers team most thought they had no chance to beat. Remember what happened? I think the same kind of game and result is awaiting us Sunday night.
Every game is different, and this will be a far different game than that SD game...
