Oh but Kneifl, they will talk about the injuries and that is why GB lost, meanwhile, Dallas #2 (or 1 1/2) receiver, Terry Glenn has not played all year.
But no one acknowledges that because the Cowboys are refusing to bring it up. Woodson has not been all pro caliber for a few years. Hell Al Harris is much better IMO
Wow - Skipper - this is so wrong.
Terry Glenn is not that good - I would take Crayton over him - the injury is a blessing in disguise...
Missing a player all year is much better than losing them now - Dallas has had all year to groom Crayton to be a threat - oh yea, he had 2 TD's last night. It would be different if Glenn had been starting all year and sat out for the 1st time last night. The Pack was missing 2 of their key defensive starters - Woodson is a key for that defensive backfield - having a solid #2 corner changes all their schemes. The Pack do not have a good backup - which is why Woodson's replacement was pulled in the 2nd quarter last night.
Let's face it - The Cowboys have a good team, and they should have won the game last night. Does that make them better than GB? MAYBE.
Home field in a big game is a HUGE advantage. Not having your starting QB for 2.5 quarters is a huge disadvantage. Missing 2 key defensive players for the 1st time is a huge disadvantage.
Packers fans are not disheartened - if the situation was reversed, and all those bad things happened to the Cowboys, and the game in GB, the Packers would have crushed them.
But, as they say, any given Sunday.
It would be interesting to see both of these teams at full strength on a neutral field. That would be a good game.
The odds were stacked against the Pack - I wouldn't run off to the conclusion that Dallas is better. They may be, and may not be.
I know one thing - if Dallas lost Romo for 2.5 quarters last night, they would have had no chance to win.
