Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers
Sunday, September 21st, 2008
7:15pm CST, NBC
This is an open thread for the game.
UPDATE: The Packers inactives from the Journal-Sentinel:
Packers inactives: QB Brian Brohm, S Atari Bigby, CB Pat Lee, FB Korey Hall, T Breno Giacomini, G Josh Sitton, WR Ruvell Martin, DE Jeremy Thompson.
Two starters out, Bigby's no surprise since his injury in the Detroit game, S Aaron Rouse starts instead. Hall was looking like he would make it back but now FB John Kuhn will start. Greg Bedard says starting C Scott Wells is active, but not starting. Jason Spitz is still at center instead of moving to guard, and RG Tony Moll remains in the starting right guard for another week. Obviously it's always better to have all your starters available, but the Packers have solid backups at these positions and it shouldn't be a problem.

I want to start this off by saying
that Brandon is unreasonable. An offer to get Willis McGahee, Larry Fitzgerald, and Derek Anderson for the wee price of Aaron Rodgers and Andre Johnson, and he turns it down!
I kid, of course. Stupid Browns, suddenly unable to play offense.
But now is the time to put fantasy football fanaticism aside and focus on the REAL game: Packers-Cowboys. Giddy-up.

Feeling confident
I’m feeling very calm. I’m looking forward to this. And I checked in my fantasy league, and as I expected, Ronnie Brown’s owner had him on the bench. I probably wouldn’t have started him if I owned him either.
ryan grant showed great burst
but horrible control. i hope we see a replay that allows a challenge, but i doubt it.

VERY lucky
that they gave up only a field goal. A bad start to the game, but it could have been worse.
Hopefully Ryan Grant channels his inner-Ryan-Grant-against-Seattle-in-the-playoffs-last-season and bounces back. Without the second fumble, of course.

The offense simply NEEDS to capitalize
There have been too many miscues (Rodgers’ first pass going low, Grant’s fumbles, the last snap of the 1st quarter), and they need to give the defense some time to regroup. Anything less than a score that takes time off the clock is unacceptable.

Love the defensive intensity, athleticism...
Thus far, one big 25 yard run by Barber and that’s it…romo has been held to 20 yards and the Pack D looks very FAST and athletic…I don’t the Cowboys receivers getting much separation….and you really see on special teams…marked difference from what I see in the dallas game v. philly

part of the reason the defense is playing better is the fact that the offense is finally pulling its own weight…….The Bills O in the 4th quarter today was amazing…….(after struggling all game) Trent Edwards is the real deal…….just like Rodgers is showing he is too……..Northern California knows how to breed good QB’s………….(Elway, Brady……etc) LOL

Jackson
If Brandon Jackson hadn’t gotten eaten alive trying to pass block, Rodgers might have had a chance. 3 and out.
a delay blitz may be in order
because the DB’s can’t get coverage sacks forever. More pass rush!

Romo
Way too much time to throw. It didn’t hurt that a Dallas played chipped Hawk so Witten could run free.
Dallas lineplay has been winning this game
Green Bay not getting much penetration on the defensive side, and starting to get overwhelmed on the offensive side.
that's exactly how it looks
hopefully the second half can bring a change somewhere

Good coverage
Just enough pressure, good pass coverage to stop the passing game. Great first half by the defense, except for the big run by Felix Jones.
I’m really disappointed the offense couldn’t take advantage of the weak Dallas safeties and go deep for a big play or two. The Dallas D is getting the better of them, which is a big surprise.
Interesting half...
After starting out 6/7 for about 70 yards , ARodge is 2 for his last 6 for about 20something yards….it seems as if Dallas’s D is taking away that slant the started out so fruitful…
I think the Pack D has been VERY GAME…Dallas got the ball at midfield and deep in Pack territory and got 6 points total. Romo just 75 yards passing. But will the MASSIVE Dallas Oline impose their will in the 2nd half?…yikes, gonnna be scary/interesting
so it's halftime
time to look at a few things
- Stop the run: Dallas has been able to dictate the pace of the game far too much with their running game. Barber has 80 yards on 15 carries, compared to Grant’s 35 yards on 8 carries. Dallas is in control, and it’s up to the offense to wrestle it back to our side.
- Outside containment: This game would be 6-6 were it not for a huge lapse in containment on Felix Jones’ long TD run. It didn’t help that Charlie Peprah got served as if Jones was a waiter on the play.
- Where’s the deep ball?: Brandon said it best: Dallas has some weak safeties, and they need to be attacked. Jennings has 80 yards, but half of them are YAC. This Dallas defense is flashy, but they’re not as fundamentally sound as they could be; take control of that lack of discipline!
- Woodson v. Owens: So far, Woodson has proven why he’s one of the top DB’s in the league. He’s held T.O. to 2 catches for 17 yards. Great effort, especially on a busted toe.
- Anybody got Witten?: This guy is going to kill us if we don’t neutralize him. If he’s being covered, he needs to be jammed at the line. Give him a release and he will find a hole in the zone or get separation on his man, he’s too good.
Hope the second half goes better than the first. It’s 13-6, we can do this!

by Mitchell Maurer on Sep 21, 2008 8:51 PM CDT reply actions
I think they’re staying away from the deep ball to keep the offense on the field and try to grind the defense out. GB’s defense has not looked solid and probably needs to conserve their energy; it seems to be unusually humid tonight.
by BearsNecessity on Sep 21, 2008 9:00 PM CDT up reply actions
Linebackers
The defensive line is leaving open holes, that’s ok and happens, but the linebackers are no where to be found. All of them are piling up tackles, but it’s often in pursuit and not at the line of scrimmage.
That said, Hawk just busted through the line and tackled Barber in the backfield. More please.
Keep saying that Brandon

Coverage
Pacman got burned, but no one is open most of the time. It took Henry a long time to get to him. The play was busted long before the sack.
The GB offense looks like it brought a knife to a gunfight. It’s getting too late in the game to settle for anything or punt it away. If they don’t score a touchdown in the next two possessions, while holding Dallas to 0 points during that time, this game is dangerously close to gone.

Witten on 3rd down
Witten’s caught a pass on 3rd down for a 1st down at least three times. He’s only got 6 catches for 60 yards, but combined with his blocking, he’s killing the defense.

Dallas revamped their secondary...
…and it shows, much better than last year…more athletic…
Rookie TE
Dallas’ rookie TE Bennett ran free for about 20 yards before anyone showed up. Embarrasing.
Nice play by Blackmon
too little too late though…looks like pack win the turnover “battle” but still lose by 3 touchdowns…
Blackmon
Great play. It’s special watching Madden rave about Barber as a closer, only to watch Barber sit out a chunk of the last drive and then fumble on this one.
Pack will be back...
…Pack not as bad as the score will indicate…this is a young team and it will continue to grow…I am still bullish about the future/this year.
maybe we can do to the cowboys...
…what the Giants did to us last year!…we beat them early in the season and then they got us in the playoffs…hope springs eternal
The Better Team Won
Wouldn’t you agree?
