4:25 EST with the ''A Team' Joe Buck Troy Aikman and Erin Andrews on FOX

 over-under 52.5 inside the super bucks AT & T Stadium in Arlington Texas..

 

Two of the Showhorses of the NFL.....battle it out in the late afternoon to see who gets bad mouthed more on the cable talk shows next week.

 

Green Bay superstar Aaron Rodgers ((107 of 160, 1,146 yards, 10 Tds, 3 INTs) may get tackle Bryan Bulaga back but he'll probably be without all-purpose runner-catcher Ty Montgomery, who has had more bad ribs than Charles Barkley.  GB has no real running backs

Dallas pass defense has left something to be desired but defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence leads the BFL with eight sacks.

Dallas QB Dak Prescott (87 of 143, 941 yards, 8 TDs and 3 NTs) is doing fine but Ezekiel ("the Fugitive") Elliott needs more than 277 yards (3.6 per carry) on 76 runs.

Dez Bryant has just 16 catches (212 yards) all season.  He needs more, too.

 

Dallas linebacker Sean Lee is probably out as is David Baktari, GBs other offensive tackle.

Rodgers is carrying Green Bay and playin in a bad division is carrying the Cowboys.

 

Dallas badly needs to win this game. They have KC, Atlanta, Seattle and Oakland still to play plus two with the Eagles.

Dallas DEs should do well against GB's shorthanded O-line

 

Take the Boys and give the points

Don't worry, Rodgers will put them ahead. He is like Peyton and Brady and normally pulls his crap where he wins

 

When Rodgers is trailing in the 4th quarter, he actually has a bad record. It has been posted on the Vikings site many times. I will see if I can find it. 

 

On the other hand, Stafford has the most 4th Quarter comebacks among active players. He almost got another one today.

Here it is...

"As discovered by Scott Kacsmar of Football Outsiders, Rodgers has never won a game in which he trailed by more than one point in the fourth quarter to a team with a winning record. He’s 0-35 in those games, which is shocking."

    • I really want to win. It doesn't matter to me who the GM is. If Ballard, AR, and Steichen succeed and make us a playoff contender every year, I'll be fine with it and be happy to root for this team. I'm just sick of the losing and missing the playoffs. I trust Ballard in the draft, I trust Steichen as a QB guru. It's time for us to win, and if it's Ballard that does so, we won't have to do a complete rebuild, and that would be the biggest positive and best-case scenario that could happen.
    • Am I the only one who really hopes AR and Steichen end up being a success story and this hypothetical Ballard firing doesn’t happen? 
    • You were picking better than me most weeks, just had unfortunate luck once or twice, I definitely earned that last spot. My average was pretty bad week after week. 
    • You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it. 
    • Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time.
