I was thinking the niners.

The Pats did it but lost in the superbowl I thought. Or did they do it again besides that year.

Last team to go 8-0 on the road was the 2007 Patriots but they lost in the SB to the Giants.

72 Dolphins and 82 Redskins were undefeated on the road and went on to win Superbowls those years

yeah the guy was saying won the superbowl that is why I went with the niners in the late 80's When they were considered the roadwarriors.

They said on the NFL Network that this will be the 3rd time in NFL history that an 8 - 0 home team will be playing an 8 - 0 road team. Something will be changing.

Yeah niners were the last to do it and win a SB and they actually did it in 85 and 89

How many times do you think we're going to hear about the Ice Bowl this week? Over or under one billion?

It will be cold but not as cold as this Sunday. This weekend was frigid. Next weekend the high is supposed to be around 15

I don't think the weather will be a factor. The Cowboys are a team that wants to run the football, and the weather isn't going to effect Rodgers throwing the ball

Though if Dallas gets behind and has to throw, frigid cold can do funny things to back pain. That could be where the factor lies.

Meh lots of heat on the back pre game and during, and plenty of shots and the back won't be an issue

Should have been Packers vs Panthers IMO though.

Good test for Packers run defense, still think that is the Achilles heal for the Packers.

Dallas OL did not impress me yesterday after hearing about them all year as most dominant. Gave up 6 sacks and 10 QB hits.... Packers OL gave up 1 sack (M. Flynn QB) and 2 QB hits a week earlier. Packers got 4.0 yards/carry and Dallas only 3.5 yards/carry vs Lions.

Dallas will have to feed Murray most of the game to control clock, keep Rodgers off the field and keep it from being a race on the scoreboard. If they can control the clock and keep it close, they have a chance.

If Packers get out to 14-0 lead like Lions did, I think game will be over fast.

This should be a really good game. I expect the Packers to win, home field + Aaron Rodgers usually = W.

But, Dallas is built like a cold weather team, and Green Bay's defense is less than inspiring. This one should be pretty high scoring and close I'd bet. Game could be decided by key turnovers or penalties.


........or the lack of penalties called :whistle:

GB: 8-0 @ home. Dallas: 8-0 on the road. This should be one helluva game.

Dallas is better on the road than at home.

No he commented that the last team to go 8-0 on the road ,also won the SB and then that's when Fordman said that the last team to go on the road 8-0 was the pats and they lost it, which is correct
