Redskin fans in my playoff thread?!?!!
I think the Cowboys _should_ win the game, at least on paper, next weekend. But I feel that Dallas has a very real danger of being cold in what amounts to a two week bye period for them and Dak has not been as sharp down the stretch as when he began the season. And, of course, the Packers are hot at the right time and the D is playing above its means late in the season (which is normal for Capers), so there is a very real danger here for the Cowboys. There is no room for McFattass calling a stupid go for it on 4th brainfart in this game, so any moment like that and this game is over for the Packers. I think its a coin flip and will depend entirely on how mentally prepared Dallas is after being off for so long after playing meaningful football. I expect it to be the best game of the playoffs, either way.
Pats have basically a red carpet ride into the SB unless they screw up against the Steelers. Say what you want about Darth Bellicheat, but he never has his team unprepared or under-motivated, so long odds of that happening. The KC Steelers game is likely to be the closest game in the entire AFC side of the playoffs, which does not say a whole lot.
I know talking heads have to talk, but feels like the Rodgers cock-sucking is never ending at the moment. I get it. He basically willed this team into 7 straight wins and just ass-raped one of the best defenses in the league. But it's really all on their passing game, they have no run game and no real way to control the clock. The defense is playing good, but they've really only needed to be good enough with Rodgers playing the way he is.
This game should be good, but even though this is a different GB team from the one Dallas faced in Week 6, this is also a different Dallas team than the one GB faced. The only Achilles heel I can think of is if Dallas shoots themselves in the foot with penalties. They limit those, especially in the run game, and I would expect Dallas to control this game from start to finish.

I think you're missing a fair amount of context here. You can't go by pure numbers because that was the same metric used going into the first GB/Dal game when it came to the rushing defense. "OMG, what will Dallas do against the #1 rushing defense?". Rush for 191 yards, that's fucking what.I forgot Dallas was so dominant against the pass. Oh that's right they suck vs the pass. Ranked 26th. So as much as I can't stand that power bottom Rodgers the dick sucking is valid.

That being said Dallas is a good team and I expect a good game. It is Dallas' game to lose.
