[QUOTE="Packerlifer, post: 237706, member: 1242"] The Packers' season doesn't rest on the outcome of this week's game vs. Dallas. It's not as big as last season's down there when both were 10=1 and he winner took the inside track to home field for the playoffs. Green Bay lost but still matched the Cowboys' 13-3 and went deeper in the postseason and ended up with home field for the NFC Championship anyway. But this is a conference game, which could put the result in more significance at the end if tiebreaker scenarios have impact. With a win to push to 3-0 and the Pack can potentially put some more early distance between themselves and the rest of the North Division. However this is one of several "statement" games for the Packers in this first half of the season where the Packers can reestablish themselves as among the elite NFC Super Bowl contenders. Since Brett Favre's retirement and his attempted comeback fiasco, Green Bay has dropped off of many people's list for doing anywhere near as well as last season. Dallas, meanwhile, has become the popular favorite to be the NFC team in the SB this year. If the Packers belong on the NFC "short list" for the Super Bowl in '08 they should be able to beat the Cowboys or the Colts, if not both, at Lambeau Field and win at Seattle and/or Tennessee on the road during this upcoming 5 week stretch. The quality of the Packers' opponents in the first two games has been questioned as to the reality of their 2-0 start. Although they did win on the road and "out of their element" on the artificial turf and indoor setting at Detroit and Minnesota brought a strong defense and dangerous, healthy running game to Lambeau. So those victories cannot be casually dismissed. The level of opponents during the next month cannot be denied. If the Packers can succeed against them they'll have to be rejoined in conversation with the Giants and Cowboys as "the teams most likely to" in the NFC. [/QUOTE]
