Packers or Cowboys?

Who wins straight up?

[StrayDawg]

I'm calling the upset and going with the Packers.

Brett Favre is playing like a MVP.. He has 10 years left in him:icon_wink:

I just wish I could watch the damn game. The local cable companies and the NFL need to get there act together...there is the sports bar option (Hooters), but I'd have to sleep with my dog out back after I got home.....hey, just might be worth it... two 10-1 teams..HOOTERS!!!..nah, second thought, I'm staying home!!

Exactly! NFL & cable are jointly screwing the pooch. The majority of NFL fans will not see this game.

Another reason to go with Dish Network.
I had the NFL Network the first day it came out on Dish Network's smallest package.:icon_wink:

I hope this bites the NFL in the ass. Bastards.

Me too. By the way, we can blame Jerry Jones: (you'll have to scroll down some if you click on the link)

A couple of years ago, Comcast offered about $400 million annually for the slate of Thursday and Saturday late-season games. An owners' faction led by Jerry Jones of Dallas contended the league could make more by keeping the games and marketing them to cable over NFLN. So far, though, NFL Network pulls in only about $250 million in cable payments. Jones and other owners who insisted the NFL would come out ahead by direct-marketing NFL Network don't want to cut the asking price because that would be tantamount to admitting their original negotiating strategy was wrong. As we've learned, prominent people will pile fresh mistake atop fresh mistake to postpone the day when they admit their first mistake. The NFL's insistence on asking too much for its channel is yet another example of how often big business, with zillions of dollars in executive-suite and economic-consultant spending, nevertheless acts as if it's ignorant of basic economics. To increase revenues, cut prices; this raises demand. (A high price suppresses demand.) The modern globalized marketplace is relentlessly efficient at driving down prices, and has relentlessly, efficiently blocked the NFL's attempt to charge too much for NFL Network. As soon as the NFL drops the NFLN asking price to the market-clearing level, the channel will air in all homes. Then the NFL can scramble nervously to make its money on advertising, just like everybody else in the broadcast business.

If both Charles Woodson and KGB sit out for the Pack, I have to go with Dallas to prevail...rooting for the Pack, though :icon_wink:

BUMP! Blame J.Jones BIG TIME for this game not being seen. Typical money grabbing Jones move. I also hope GB wins and Farve stays healthy.

Game changing PI call (around 40 penalty yards) on Tramon Williams in the 4th quarter to put the Cowboys up by 14. Was clearly not PI (their feet got tangled) and the commentators both felt that it was a bad call and a shame that it had such a big impact.

[HogDawg]

Congrats to the 28 LOSERS who picked the Packers!

Yep......you're all still LOSERS!!!!! Packers go down in flames.

FINAL SCORE:

DALLAS 37
Green Bay 27

And it wasn't even that close. :icon_wink:

That's bull$hit. Very obvious interference on that play. In additon to the tripping, he also had his hand on the receiver and pushed him.

Don't be a sore loser. Just be satisfied with being a LOSER!

By the way, I told a friend of mine that Tramon Williams has made more good plays in the last two weeks for Green Bay than he did his entire 4 years he was at Louisiana Tech. And I'm not kidding. He's going to be a solid NFL player. Too bad he couldn't play like this in Ruston.

I want Dallas to win, but I hope the game is relatively close and that all of Green Bay's scoring comes from Tramon Williams.
