If we had the bye and this game went down just like it did, but with GB instead of Dallas I first of all wouldn't be focused on one game. I would be focused on exactly what I am now, that we need to play Aaron Rodgers and his receivers in GB. They way they just beat Detroit wouldn't come into play much, but I would note they were down 14-0 and were still good enough to come back and win if the game were to start out that way again. Dallas just came back against a real good defense. I don't get the whole thought process behind "how" they won. With or without that call I think Dallas wins that game. The call does not define the game to me.

If you're winning ugly, then something isn't right, and good teams will take advantage of you. And you'd be playing GB at home in that situation and you'd feel better about your chances because you just saw their offense struggle and you can see why they struggled and capitalize on that. That's what I'm trying to say here. GB is going to see this and take advantage of your weaknesses. I expect GB to win by at least 14.

Or the other way to look at it is that you have screwed the pooch the first half and still are winning the game. Your defense sucked, but figured it out.


And Dallas is 8-0 on the road this year. Those are players on THIS team, THIS year. That's much more telling than all time history of DET in WC games. :L

8-0 in the regular season on the road* This is the playoffs. At Green Bay. Completely different story.

No, because last week, just like the other 16 games is over. Its one week and we won! Yeah, GB probably wins, but it has nothing to do with whether or not they think we struggled the previous week

How many teams in the league could play the Packers in their building and come out with a win? I'm not sure there is one, but I think the Cowboys, because of their style of play, have as good a shot as anyone

Pretty sure everyone said the same thing about Seattle prior to week 6.


There is a reason the game is played on the field.

This is as bad as the Mavericks-Heat abortion in the NBA back in 2006.

You Cowfucks can't continue to defend this.
The eye in the sky doesn't lie.

Fubar in the first degree.

I'd be willing to bet the Packers coaches are confident, but were pulling for Detroit

I would take those 14 points, do you drive yet? Pinks

and all Pack fans too. Choice between Dallas and Carolina...CAR all day. Not saying they aren't confident they will beat us, but records are there for a reason.

That was incompetence by labor scabs in a non-playoff game.
I was appalled.

I blame Goodell and so should you.

Does your butt stop hurting if you enough Dallas fans say the call was bad?

dyslexia doesn't add words it just rearranges them.



I totally agree:

Your original sentence:
Does your butt stop hurting if you enough Dallas fans say the call was bad?

With words rearranged it should have read:

So you are saying I'm not only dyslexic but redundant? I already clarified, and set the subject, as "you". I don't need to do it again.

However, an edit could easily do that. I already explained that, you are just trying to be cute. Keep trying.
