Question is were to put Matthews... I'm thinking ILB... Packers need to slow the Cowboy's run down first (unless they forget about running it which they have done for short periods of time) and then focus on their #1 wr and te. That would leave the other WRs in a lot of one on ones... but I think our CBS should be able to handle their other WRs.

Also I hearing a number of Packers fans talk like Cowboy running game should be no big deal after watching the Lions game. Remember we don't have Sue up front like they do. Which is another reason I want to move Matthews to ILB ... and I remember hearin about something about the Cowboy's running it up the middle more than most teams

The stars are aligned now.

Everything is in place!

As I said before Packers win in a rout!

But if the final score is Packers 3 Lions 2.........I WILL TAKE IT!!!!!!

I bet... but I don't think the Lions will be playing [tongue]

[laughing] [laughing] [laughing]

That would be. packers 3 boys 2.

Where to put Matthews?

He is going to be everywhere!

Playoff football Dim will bust out defenses that haven't been used yet.

Confuse Romo and he will melt under the pressure.

The player to keep an eye for a big impact this game will be Julius Peppers.
I think come Monday the Cowboys will have nightmares about what he's done to them.

Seriously? That old fart.[laughing]
Seriously! I expect him to come to play big and pump up the defense.

I don't think he's ever been on a team this talented playing this well with an MVP quarterback before.
That said, he's gonna amp up his teammates big time.

Zero2Cool;301795Let's take a quick peak as some of the key match ups going into the NFC Divisional match up between Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys.

Aaron Rodgers vs Rod Marinelli
Can you name any defensive coordinator that would have the edge over Aaron Rodgers? I can't think of one and surely a coach who lead a team to an 0 - 16 record doesn't have said edge.
[h]Big Edge: Aaron Rodgers[/h]


Tony Romo vs Dom Capers
Teryl Austin dialed up some well timed blitz's that got Romo off his game quite a bit and while I think he might be a better DC than Capers, the edge here goes to Capers because he has better talent depth than Austin.
[h]Slight Edge: Dom Capers[/h]


Eddie Lacy vs Bruce Carter, Rolando McClain &
Anthony Hitchens
If McClain is starting and is as 100% as a NFL player can be at this stage of the season, the edge goes to the LB group.
McClain is the key cog to this defensive group and if his concussion like symptions are nothing, it could be a 3 yards and dust for Lacy.
[h]Edge: Dallas Linebackers[/h]


DeMarco Murray vs Julius Peppers, Sam Barrington, Clay Matthews III & Mike Neal
Murray has averaged 4.7 yards a carry during the regular season racking up 1,845 yards. That's over 115 yards per game and the Packers defense has been giving up around 80 yards rushing per game the last half of the season.
The latter stat is more of an illusion and Murray has the edge here.
[h]Edge: DeMarco Murray[/h]


Jordy Nelson & Randall Cobb vs Brandon Carr & Orlando Scandrick
The Packers top wideouts have snagged 189 catches for 2,806 yards and 25 touchdowns during the 2014 regular season.
I don't think you need to know anything else to determine who gets the edge here.
[h]Big Edge: Packers WR's[/h]


Dez Bryant &
Terrance Williams vs Sam Shields & Tramon Williams
Bryant is going to win some battles here and for those who think the grass will slow him down, do you not remember Julio Jones?
[h]Edge: Dallas WR's[/h]

How does Gb oline only have a slight advantage against a horrible dline in Dallas? If anything,That's the biggest mismatch of theses two teams. Dallas has NO pass rush at all and the only reason why they are ranked 8th against the run is because teams have been passing on them with ease.

This match up is much much worse then Dallas oline vs our dline. Sorry but it's far from a slight advantage. Its a huge advantage and will be the reason why the packers walk all over that over rated team. Just watch
