Game 5: Packers @ Cowboys - Sunday, October 6th 3:25PM

Feel about the same as I did coming in. Defense has issues and offense needs a receiver not named Adams to step up.

Really happy to get the win, but I just want to curb stump someone for once.

Of course you do.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Not sure what that's supposed to mean, and feels rather uncalled for. That was sloppy. Cooper had 230 yards.

[nodakfan17]

LOL COWBOYS KICKERS!

This is why you ride Mason Crosby as long as possible.

 

Slightly Above Average Kicker > Mystery Kicker

[HiAndTight]

Gary is absolutely useless.

 

 

Are you serious?

[MrTPlush]

They need a solid veteran WR...the guys behind Adams should be like #4 options at best. Maybe MVS is a #3, but not ideally.

Dude, you complain when a Packers player doesn't get a penalty called on him. I mean...starting to wonder if you're a Packer fan.

[MrTPlush]

Elliott/Cooper scored 50 fantasy points for me and we won? That’s a good day for my teams.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Complain? Pointing out the obvious contact King made on that INT was funny. Sorry if I don't drink the koolaid 24/7 and laugh when a CB is allowed to literally slap a guy in the head four times.

 

Maybe go back and read the first reply to this thread.

[young guns]

Ezekiel Elliott- 12 carries 62 yards rushing. Dallas done screwed up.

[adambr2]

Last gift of the day. Thrilled with the overall result, but I never imagined a 34-24 win in Texas Stadium could feel so unsatisfying. There's so much good in the first half, I just can't understand why they consistently play one half football this year.

[sveumrules]

Looks like a team playing not to lose

 

It worked.

You're not a Packers fan apparently.

No, he's fine, it was a bad choice of words. Was pretty pissed about him committing that penalty in that situation trying to close the game out and committed an IGT overreaction.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Teams coming back like that is a regular occurrence so that alone doesn't bother me all that much, that's the modern NFL. You can be flagged back into a three score game in minutes. I see it every week. If you're competent at all on offense going down 20 points seems to all but assure a tense finish. It's become like the NBA in that regard. That said, for scoring 34 points there's just a lot that feels missing. No secondary target has really stepped up for Rodgers.

Of course you do.

 

 

Yeah, I think you need to just kinda laugh these IGT's off. 4-1 with a brutal schedule to start the season and it really feels like we're just a garbage team.

 

We beat the Cowboys pretty easily on the road. They got a lot of empty yards and a couple of late scores...and the offense is still very clearly a work in progress. It's really just that simple. But if you're not just rolling over teams, these threads are just toxic.

[homer]

4 - 1 and we haven't seen their best yet. Obviously they have warts.

I figured. I actually think he should be playing more. He's among(or was) the league leaders in pressures per snap...but he's played so few.

 

Honestly, my only complaint...Rodgers just doesn't seem to give his receivers a chance. There were a few plays where he just missed guys. Allison had a guy beat when they got a DPI that could have been a TD. He missed Allison again when he was running a post...

 

 

He just requires far too much trust before he gives them a chance. Tonyan making that big catch and then going down with an injury was pretty disappointing. Still waiting for him to break out.

 

I think people who want to see us add a WR'er or TE are going to be disappointed. It takes Rodgers about 2 years to start trusting guys. He's not going to do it in a new offense in the the middle of the season.

Yeah, they're good, I do think that. I'd just like to see them finish a game. It's frustrating to watch.

[OldHeidelberg]

Whew, I had no hope we would recover onside kick as clueless as our kickoff coverage has been, not even sure who our hands guys are. Big road win, cancels out the loss to the Eagles. Rodgers looking a lot better, we may be pretty good if we can stay healthy.

[HiAndTight]

4 - 1 and we haven't seen their best yet. Obviously they have warts.

 

 

Yep. I said before the season I'd be happy if they had 4 wins after the KC game given how tough the schedule was to start the season.

 

Also...Jenkins is an absolute ANIMAL. I wasn't real thrilled to see the Packers take a center 44th overall, but he's just a mauler. So-so-so much better than Taylor. Able to get to the second level and make holes for Jones.

 

Bulaga just almost completely shut down Lawrence today, one of the best DE's in the league.

 

 

I hate the cliche, but next week is a "trap game." The Lions have played well and it's always tough at home. But Bears lose, we beat the Cowboys, pretty big for tie breakers and what not.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Just a brutal stretch coming up. I'm not a big believer in Dallas at all but the Packers next five games are teams over .500 with the exception of the Chargers. The schedule will not be the reason the Packers into the playoffs this year.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I dont think there's anything trappy about the Lions. They have looked good. No reason to assume a win there.

I agree. Pre-season, if we could get through MLF's first five games at 2-3, I would have been tickled. Instead it's 4-1 and they could have been 5-0 with a few breaks against Philly. They still get detroit twice, the Raiders, giants, redskins, bears at home, which I think they will be favored in all of those. Panthers at home and Niners after a bye. I think 10 wins, an NFC North Title and a home playoff game aren't out of the question.
