after watching the highlights of the first outing - I think we can Win! - less turnovers and better coverage and stopping the run should do it.

This game is going be won by two big things:

1. Who takes control of time of possession
2. Who has the lead in the 4th quarter

Dak Prescott is not a come-from-behind guy. He is a game manager and, as such, wins because his offense around him is stellar. Look at him against games against Ole Miss and Alabama. It's up to the Packers to CONTROL this game because if all Dak has to do is hit the cruise control, he will win every time.

I've seen Dak lead them back to win late. I think you're short shrifting him.

At Pittsburgh comes to mind late in the 4th. Plus. If memory serves, they were down to the Niners pretty good and he led them back. I think he did it to the Eagles at Dallas in primetime, also.

I would never rest easy with our D vs. anyone much less Dak.

Totally agree on TOP unless turnovers balance that out.

EDIT: He also led a comeback at Washington in Washington early in the season. I think Week 2.

One of the many local sports shows on the radio last night kept harping on the idea that ON PAPER there's no way Dallas should lose. I found that hilarious. Dallas is not some juggernaut that is superior to us in any form or fashion. The one thing the guy said was Aaron Rodgers don't play on paper and he was horrified that Rodgers might be enough to overcome the "on paper" thing. It was funny listening to the trepidation in his voice. This man totally feared Aaron Rodgers.

OK, the original question still remains. Can GB defeat Dallas in Dallas ?

Were talking about the #1 seed in the NFC, playing at home, with the leagues best RB, and maybe this seasons finest Offensive Line. In addition, Dallas has a rookie QB that is playing like a 10 year veteran who is blessed with such passing targets as Dez Bryant, Jason Whitten, and Cole Beasley. They don't have the best Defense in the league, but they do somehow manage to hold their ground. They also have a fairly accurate FG Kicker with a strong leg. Did I miss anything ?

Yes, I believe that GB can defeat Dallas in Dallas. What say you ?

Though I think both teams fans are underestimating the defense for the other. Both seem to be suggesting their offense can't be stopped by the other.

And again... playing on turf/dome might help the Packers even more, at least if they can keep the crowd from being too noisy.

Let's say that GB does gun the Cowboys down, who would you rather face in the NFC Championship Game, Seattle or Atlanta ? In either case GB would be the road team.

IMO, GB would fare better against Atlanta than Seattle.

The Dallas crowd, even per their Homer radio guys, is not a rabid bunch. They were hoping it wouldn't be a typical Dallas crowd which just shows up goes through the motions. It's just a status thing for many down here. Not sure most of these fans know a thing about football. However, they're lathered thinking they're about to witness something special.

Further, they talked about Packers fans at this game. One clown said this time there was no way Cowboys Tix holders were selling their Tix. Some other clown argued that during the 2014 playoff at Lambeau there was up to as many as 40% Cowboys fans there. What?
