[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 587596"] Yup. It's simply a case of the Packers being locked in if there's a Wild Card tie with Philly, whereas most Wild Card tie scenarios against the others put the Packers on the losing end. Of course if the Packers could be guaranteed a win in week 17 for the Division title, it would be reasonable to prefer Philly as a possible playoff opponent as opposed to Dallas. Besides Philly looking more ordinary since Sanchez took over, the fact Philly leads the league in +20 plays surrendered (reminiscent of the 2011 Packers) despite decent macro numbers plays into Rodgers' wheelhouse, which we've already seen once. While Dallas' defense is not fear inspiring, with a poor pass rush (23 sacks) while surrendering a lot of short throws (66.4% against), they have had decent success keeping passes out of the end zone. That style is not a preferred match up. But that's cart-in-front-of-the-horse stuff. The animal metaphor that applies best is "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". Go Dallas! [/QUOTE]
