NFL GDT: 2023 NFC Wild Card Round: (2) Dallas Cowboys vs (7) Green Bay Packers

[TheAngryHank]

Big Mike and Dak screw the pooch with clock mismanagement on a final drive to try to win the game being down 5.

 

[Tony Romo]

oh boy, please win

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Because Jerry couldn't wait to make the week ALL ABOUT HIM

That's such an unnecessary distraction. Like, if they collapse you can fire him and it would be understandable given the expectations the Cowboys have (and rightfully so in this case), but the only reason to have that response right now is if you're an attention whore dickh-

OK this totally checks out.

[Voight]

Every time these two play eachother my family gets torn apart

 

[Ratbath]

Dallas should continue to win all home games they have in these playoffs but of course I would not be surprised if they don’t. Such a down year for elite teams when these Ravens look like far and away the best. Could be anybody really.

I think they need to make it to the NFC championship game. If they lose before that, they will get crucified. They’ll deserve it, and they will get it from everyone. What a ride with this team! Love dem Boys. Win or lose. Cmon Dallas!

I agree. If they somehow lose this game Jones is going to unleash a nuclear firestorm and rightfully so. He might not let McCarthy on the damn plane.

On paper, they should be playing SF for the conference title.

They aren't that great , now they can run it up against garbage teams at home..
Lost to AZ on the road , look what the Bills did to them. OK every team gives up a stinker ,bad teams more often. Detroit legit beat them at home and we all know it.
If anything people (dem boys fans) will lose it because of their expectations which aren't realistic. They are above average but look amazing when playing with a lead and pouring it on. SF dismantled them , AZ ,Miami . Considering their division and what garbage it turned out to be the record looks great.. Road wins , NE ,Philly now,Giants ,Washington, Carolina...bravo

 

[Tony Romo]

Dallas **should** make the NFC title game, but I will be interested to see if they blow it, how they do it.

I know the Cowboys stadium is huge but do they really need to take a plane to home games? How long could it really take to get there by bus or car?

Have you ever been to Texas? Dallas is 2 hours away from Dallas!

Only on a layover and that Dallas/Ft Worth airport was a big sumbitch, so ok I retract my statement

Texas has both the size and the mindset of an independent country.

Yeah, I have a few buddies that have lived or do live in various parts of Texas but personally have never had the urge to visit, it doesn't seem like my kind of place

I grew up in Texas and am moving back next month

It is so massive and the cities are all quite different

El Paso is closer to the Pacific ocean than it is to the eastern border of Texas. The size is unfathomable

Yup. Less than 800 miles from San Diego and well over 800 miles to the Louisiana line.

EDIT: what I don't remember is if the I-10 length is longer or shorter than from like Brownsville to the absolute top near the Oklahoma panhandle.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I don't think this will be even close. Dallas by a lot, like 42-14.

 

[EpochLink]

If Dallas doesn't reach the NFC Championship game, Jerry will rehaul the coaching staff.

Jerry takes a helicopter to games. For good reason. With no traffic, it's a 37 mile drive from the Cowboys practice facility to the stadium. Two counties away.

Yeah I think I've seen their facility online or on tv or something before and it was as big as a small town itself

 

[Pestilence]

GB has been hot as of late. Dallas should still win though, but hope Packers will get an upset win here.

 

[John Price]

 

[Hockeyholic]

All of the pressure is on Dallas. None on GB. Sometimes, that can make a huge difference.

I do think it's 50-24 Dallas. The GB D just does not have enough.

I think Love will be decent though.

Arizona loss was absolutely a stinker/mulligan kind of game. SF dominated them, and are a better team, but the Cowboys were definitely a much different team compared to how they started. Bills game sucked but half the team was puking and shitting on the sidelines, in bad weather in Buffalo. Miami game, meh.

But what do all these games have in common? Road games. Completely different team at home and on the road. It’s not just the record, it’s the complete dominance at home. Beat #3, #5 and #6 in the NFC at home, and two of them were by 20+ points.

Locking up the #2 seed was HUGE for Dallas.
