Green Bay/Dallas: Who will want? Who do you want to win?

Hoping dallas wins.

Tough to argue with that logic.

coworker won't shut of about cowboys and giving us **** for "cheating" GO GB

I have Dallas winning the game. The America's Team fix is in.

But I'd like to see GB win for two reasons. I want injured teams to move on in case the Pats play them and I'd enjoy the live shot of Jones when his Boys lost.

Rodgers is a huge ******* by all accounts. Not just that he stopped talking to family, but there are other articles about his 'sense of humor' which are all just examples of him bullying his teammates for not being as smart as he believes himself to be, and none of his former teammates ever have anything good to say about him. He's like the anti-Brady. Everyone in the league, especially people who have played with him, love Tom Brady and have nothing but good things to say; it's only the ******** sports media that creates a ridiculous narrative about him. Meanwhile, everyone who knows him hates Rodgers but he's shoved down our throat in advertisements and as the face of the league.

I don't like Jerry Jones, but the current iteration of Cowboys players are eminently likable. I've always been a big fan of Tony Romo and thought he was a top 8 or so QB of the last 15 years who was hard done by the ******** ESPN narrative around him as a choker, which couldn't in fact be further from the truth. Most of his choke jobs were like Brady in 2006 or the Giants Super Bowls, i.e. he put his team in a position to win only to watch from the sideline as his defense choked the game away. I like Dak and Zeke a lot.

Rodgers struggled mightily early this year when Nelson was limited because his other options like Adams and Cobb are wildly overrated. I expect the Cowboys to grind the Packers ****ty run defense out, limit their possessions, and I don't expect the Packers will do enough on their possessions to be able to keep up. Look for the Cowboys to win comfortably.

Hard to imagine GB still not having Nelson for a SB a full month after the injury, but I like your line of thinking.

I was getting the cheating thing from a Steelers fan just a little bit ago. It's so annoying, and like that's their only way to explain how the Patriots have been so good. I let them get under my skin way to much but i can't help it!!

I want the packers out. They look like they are getting hot at the right time and I need them cooled off ASAP. Last thing I wanna see is a red hot packers team led by aaron rodgers in the SB. That being said, I think the cowboys will win. I can see it going either way though. Nelson being out is huge.

Awesome thread title...........

I'd so much rather face a rookie should we happen to meet in the SB as opposed to Aaron Rodgers.

This thread amuses me.
Let's dig up whatever we can to dump on Rodgers.
Now it's his character, his relations with his family, his girlfriend. Not that any of us really know all that much about it other than what a sensationalist media spits out.
Then there's the old frontrunner line. Well, being 4-6 and leading your team to the playoffs, then beating the Giants with a 4 td performance (from behind, I might add)...yup, nothing but a frontrunner.
Or a dozen other excuses thrown out to prove to us all that Rodgers really isn't that great after all. Let's see, hmm, yes his lack of leadership--there's another one.
Or what else? Oh yes, he doesn't make his players better, no, he has all this talent surrounding him and he's nothing without them. Oh yeah right, let's see Randall Cobb or Davante Adams without AR and see how good they'd be. You wouldn't even hear about them.
And God forbid anyone should ever compare Rodgers to Brady.

You know I'll just say one thing as a Packers fan. On the 3 Packers boards I visit, almost nobody except a few idiots goes out of their way to **** on Tom Brady. Frankly we don't care that much. We're perfectly willing to recognize Brady's greatness (with a few exceptions) while at the same time we do feel that Rodgers is something special, very special.

Apologies to some of the good posters here who try not to be total homers and actually take a balanced view of it.

Carry on.

But to keep with this thread, Dallas is going to be very tough to beat. The Packers defense are going to somehow have to slow down Zeke, which is a tall order. But if they do enough and manage to give Rodgers and the offense another possession or two, then I don't see the Dallas defense being able to stop the Packers even without Jordy Nelson.

Randall Cobb is back, Davante Adams is playing like the WR they hoped he would be, and the Packers have a way better TE option in Jared Cook than they did before. Plus Ty Montgomery looks healthy and he's another Darren Sproles. And Geronimo Allison has been maybe the biggest surprise. The kid has looked really good. Packers will have enough weapons. And the OL pass protection has been outstanding.

And if the Packers do win against the Cowpokes, and that's a big If, then I'd take them over Atlanta or Seattle on their way to the SB.

Both teams are really special when it comes to the O line holding. They are the best at it. The first clue as to who wins will be when the refs call holding on one of them.

Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play and no one here would want to see him in the Super Bowl. It doesn't change the fact that he's, by any and all accounts, an obnoxious, unlovable nerd and gigantic prick.

That's fine, you're rooting for the guy as a football player, hes not your friend. I'd probably have a different view if I was a Packers fan. We can all root for Michael Floyd and think his DUI was really bad. But I'm not sure why you have to defend him against people who think he's unlikable, even if it's only because his mug shows up on every other goddamned ad during every single game.

You can take issue with the marketing side things where Rodgers gets probably too much of that--I don't disagree with you there and honestly I do my best to ignore whatever commercials he's in as I find them about as interesting as regurgitated chicken wings. But this image of Rodgers as some kind of major a-hole is also as much a media concoction as anything else. Frankly there's things I don't like about Tom Brady, but so what? I'm not here to judge him for his private life. I'm here to enjoy watching him play, unless it's against the Packers, and even then I'll enjoy a good performance from him.

Is it a media concoction? The only media outlet who really report on Rodgers as a personality are Deadspin, and they're both good and a relative small fry compared to the ESPN and network propaganda machines.

That's a really good point. You may be very right about that.

That's why I'm concerned with Morelli tonight.
