Hey Packers Fans, I try to register before the game but it took awhile to get approve. This forum have a lot of good people and some unbiased opinions which I appreciate. There's not much of those stupid or idiots fans like other team forum. There are actually a lot of good topic and good serious discussion on this forum.
First off I would like to say, great game. That game live up to the hype, a lot better than the Patriots/Colts game. I thought the Packers lost the game early when they drove and kick a FG. Playing Dallas, you have to get a TD and not FG. But that was just the beginning. Farve went out of the game plan, I don't know what MM or Farve saw that made him change their game plan. The Dallas D was really getting at Farve, after seeing Farve get hit a few times I knew that it's only a matter of time when Farve will get happy feet and start pressing. That's how most QB will be after being hit and hurried so often early. The timing clock in your head is shorten, and you don't feel comfortable in the pocket because you have a feeling the defender are coming fast. That's when the mistake start piling up for the Packers.
I thought Dallas D played great in the beginning. With Farve being out, Rogers filled in quite nice. So the future is definitely there for the Packers once Farve retired. Rogers had some nice run that saved the Packers drive that turned out to be TD. We had no game planning for Rogers, and Rogers was not one of those awful QB that you don't need to game plan for. Thus why Rogers did a good job of. The Dallas D stop pressuring and blitzing in the 2nd half which annoy me. I really hate when I see team play prevent D, we almost lost that game against the Redskins because of that as well. We need to learn how to play 60 minutes and don't let up once we're up. Not like the Patriots, but don't let off on D or O until the game is really out of reach.
Although there might be some argument about those calls. It happened, the Harris fumble strip, it is what it is and the Ref blew the whistle so it's the rule that once it's blown the play is dead. If he hasn't blew it, it's Packers ball. But it's early in the game, Packers still have to overcome those, that's what great team do. 2nd PI call, that can go either way but to me it's PI. I believe that if it's the Packers WR, we all know that you guys would want to kick the Ref a** if they didn't call a PI. He did grab and hold on to the WR to slow him down and kick his feet while not looking back toward the end. But okay let's say it's not a PI. That play was 1st and 10 at the 50 yards line. What make you guys think the Cowboys won't march down the field? They done that all night and the Packers had no answer for them. Unless it's a close game where Packers D did stop Cowboys numerous time then you can say that call really made the outcome of the game significant. Cowboys Demarcus ware did get call for an offside which it wasn't, it was a fumble and even if the Packers recover, it's 4th down. Instead it's 3rd and 5 and Packer convert that lead to 3 points, So it's pretty even with the Ref.
I know KGB and Woodson is out, but do you think they would had made a huge difference? Yeah Woodson is very good, but KGB would have had no pressure with Flozell Adam on him. Adam is having a pro bowl year and he hasn't allow much sacks this season, Cowboys O-line really dominated the Packers front 7. Even if Woodson is in, Romo will find ways to beat the Packers. Harris will not be able to bump and run Owen because of the way Owen move around. That will even lead to more mismatch to your secondary. Either that or the Cowboys will run more and open up the passing game. Since Woodson is out, Cowboys went mostly passing to take shot at the Packers weakness, who wouldn't?
Now Cowboys front 7 dominated the Packers O-line, the game goes to the Cowboys front 7 because they pressure and hit Farve and cost Packers to make mistakes. They made the Packers change their game plans because of the pressure. Cowboys had a great game plan for the Packers, those slant might have work a bit but playing a 3-4 either Ware or Ellis both OLB would have drop back in coverage where the slant will be thrown and either tip or INT the pass. That's why we had safety deep just in case Farve fake the slant and go deep like they did. There were a lot of tip ball, that's why the Packers didn't use those slant. I hope you guys notice that as well, just wanted to point it out.
I really hope next time we meet, both team are healthy so there won't be no excuse. Either you like it or not, the better team won that night regardless. Please give respect when it's due, the score is not as close as it seem. If Farve was in, I really believe the score would have gone out of hand by halftime. Packers are good, I believe they should beat anybody in the playoff to advance to the Championship game Vs. Dallas. Right now, Dallas is a step ahead team in the NFC, Packers is 2nd no doubt. GL toward the rest of the season, I really been rooting for the Packers all season, just not Thursday night.
P.S. Also, our secondary is not as bad as people made out to be. We score so much on Offense and since we're up, in the end team usually get 50-100 garbage yards at the end. I will continue to stick around and talk good football with all the fans here that willing to accept me. Thanks.
