Let’s hear it for the ‘Boys
Thursday night’s Green Bay-Dallas game lived up to the hype — it was entertaining, competitive and put one team in control of the NFC.
But were the Cowboys really that good? Though they won 37-27, they should have been able to put the Packers away earlier but were unable to do so, just like they have in a few games this year. At some point, maybe not until the playoffs, an opponent will make the Cowboys pay (the Patriots sort of did in October). If the Packers were able to play defense when they needed to, and avoided those big pass interference penalties (including one Green Bay fans who were able to watch the game will criticize), they might have won this game, even without Brett Favre (by the way, wasn’t Aaron Rodgers solid?)
The Packers have mostly an easy schedule, though they will play at Chicago.in Week 16. Dallas goes on the road to Detroit, then gets Philly, Carolina and Washington. That’s not unfavorable either, but the Cowboys can’t let up. They are the best team in the NFC, but they must be better to win the Super Bowl.
