Dallas goes down

by packfan on Dec 17, 2007 12:44 AM CST

Will the GBP be able to close the gap on the Boys? If Dimples thumb is really hurt, will they drop another one to Carolina or Washington? Is it really possible to hold out hope for home field throughout?
I was ok with the loss to the Boys earlier in the year (not really it took me a couple of weeks)because I think it's highly unlikely GBP would beat them twice in a season. Second, I think they held their own without 5 starters. Third, we know what to expect. They've seen them, they'll be able to game plan them better. This is all assumptive that GBP beat the the Bears and Lions.

It's Possible

I wouldn't think Carolina will put up much of a fight against Dallas, but they did just beat Seattle. These division rivalry games to finish the season can be brutal, so the Packers will have two tough games (Chicago, Detroit) and Dallas has one more division game too (at Washington). The Packers and Dallas should be expected to win all of those games, but obviously anything can happen in one game.

I'm confident about them playing at Dallas again, but it would be fantastic if Dallas would have to go to Lambeau. It didn't feel like much of a home field advantage the past few seasons ever since that home playoff loss to Atlanta, but it seems like the home field advantage is back this season.

The next two games

Both of Dallas' games are on the road. I think it will be a question of if Carolina can stop Dallas' run game. They hung with Seattle's passing game, so I think they're ok there.
I don't know what to make of Washington. It's in Washington, but beyond that...
Neither team SHOULD beat Dallas. Let's hope for a really bad thumb on Dimples.

I think the Packers are going to go into Chicago with a beat down in mind. A little payback for a game they should have won. The GBP are a better team today than they were in Oct. Detroit gave up 51 points to a team that can't pass. They quit so fast the French were impressed. They aren't going to put up a fight on a cold Dec afternoon in Green Bay. Green Bay knows they need both victories. They won't lay off.

Redskins

I believe Washington is going to have the Cowboys number. They won't have an answer for Portis and Todd Collins actually looked better than Eli last night..

BTW if nobody has told you, I noticed you asked about FO vs NFL rankings, FO is FootballOutsiders.com

Eli the benchmark?

I don't think we should be using Eli as the benchmark for a qb quality. I agree with you about portis. He still a stud. I'm hoping for some weather to insure pain and suffering.
Carolina could sneak up on the Boys. I'd have lost money on that game yesterday if I was a betting man. Who knows when they're going to show up. Let's hope it's Sunday.
