Sunday brings us the #1 rushing offense against the #1 rushing defense who ya got?

[fordman84]

Packers now have the best O-line in the NFL according to pro football focus. Rodgers has an avg of like 4-5 seconds to throw and if you can create holes big enough for Eddie Lacy aka Feast Mode aka the Elephant to avg 5.5 YPC then that is easily the best O-line in the game (statistically and the eye test).

That was simply amazing watching them stymie the Giants rush. I believe the OL won't hold up as well against the pass rush when they aren't on loose and familiar grass. So Dallas has no shot to get to the QB, not with just the front 4. However, in Rod I trust to figure out a way to get pressure.

meh - Rodgers was garbage with all of that time to throw. A sadistic part of me hopes the Cowboys bring pressure as he seems to be more accurate with his throws when he is being chased

 

[Trudem]

Packers get one of their best run stuffing DL back too. This will be a fun battle to watch next week.

I think the Pack will win the game but the rush DEF is really, really low, and looking at the 4 games to date...they haven't faced an OL like the one they will face SUN.

They will keep Zek under his avg, but he's going to get more than 45 yds

I agree with this as a Packer fan.

It's possible Dallas has had alot of oline injuries this year but they are still ballin

 

[Tainthappening]

What's the word on Lacy's ankle? You need him healthy.

Agreed... Pack will need Lacy in this tilt, Packers will have no run game with Starks. Lacy stated he hopes not to miss time, but Wednesday injury report could be telling.

This is the first real test for Packers run defense, will be good to see how they respond.

I know Dallas wants the ball first.

Agree that he won't see 130 yards. He will get close to 100 though, assuming we don't get into turnover land and fall behind early.

and we are gonna score

I can't assume Zeke won't bust off a long one.

 

[PDay8810]

LOL....on a long run from scrimmage

 

[SonnyCID]

GBs run defense has been stout. But they haven't faced a team this committed to the run, both with the RB and QB.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Pokes.

Elliot will surpass 100 yds.

 

[packerzrule]

I don't care how many yards Dallas gets as long as the Packers win

 

[chf]

and we are gonna score

Heh.

<shakes fist at fordman>

 

[Manster7588]

If I wasn't on the other side I'd give you a thumbs up. Only stat that matters is the score.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Dez caught that fucking ball....

 

[NWPATSFAN]

If the Pack just play the second half the way they do in the first half they win by 3 TD's. If they don't they will lose. They have to be the worst second half team in the NFL. I think they avg 5 ppg in the second half. LMAO

Head scratcher. It doesn't make sense. Are teams picking up so much info they're changing their D that much between halves?

 

[Great Dayne]

It's more like the Packers coaches shutdown the offense in the second half and play not to lose. There's hundreds of examples of this but the most blatant one was vs the Seahawks in the NFC Championship game. For this season it would be vs the Lions. Once we build a decent lead shut that shit down and go into ultra conservative mode.
