Packers RB Ty Montgomery doubtful for Cowboys game
The game clock at AT&T Stadium read 4:08.
“That’s a big if”, Rodgers said after practice. This is an absolute revenge game.
Dallas did not drop two in a row at home last season, and the team should learn from some mistakes made in last week’s 35-30 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The talent, we all know the talent, but it’s that inner spirit that he brings to a game.
Entering week five of the 2017 season, Green Bay sits at 3-1, tied with five other teams atop the NFC through one quarter of the year.
Will this be the week when Green Bay’s two starting offensive tackles, David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga, finally return to the lineup?
Without Cutler and a very bad pass defense, the Bears upset the Packers 27-20 as backup quarterback Josh McCown started once again and had a phenomenal game throwing two touchdowns and posted a quarterback rating of 90.7.
Dak Prescott airing the ball down the field. The Packers have looked pretty strong on defense so far this year. Let’s be honest, Aaron Rodgers is an absolute wizard.
The Green Bay Packers are looking to win their third straight game. Stopping him is one of the hardest tasks for any defense, especially one that has been struggling like Dallas’.
Sunday’s total is set at 52 points.
After a poor showing last week against the Rams, I expect the Dallas D to step up this Sunday. That includes rookie cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie and Jourdan Lewis. “We haven’t added new guys”. Also, in 2016 he fumbled nine times, four of which resulted in turnovers; he’s fumble-free, however, through four games this year. All that may be affecting his game for after averaging 108 yards and 5.1 yards a carry as a rookie, Elliott’s production is down to 3.6 per carry and 69 yards per game this season.
The Cowboys offense has been up and down all season long, and that is not something that is a good sign. The first was a Thursday night game in week two of the 2012 season, the Bears were coming off a blow out victory against the Indianapolis Colts in the season opener and were in high spirits going into the game. It’s America’s Game of the Week (and yes, we will have Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the call, so take that as you will), and it’s the Dallas Cowboys.
Safeties Byron Jones and Jeff Heath are among the most experienced players in the Dallas secondary, along with Scandrick.
Even still in the concussion protocol, Davante Adams did practice this week and there’s a chance he might get cleared by an independent neurologist before kickoff. That came in 2011 when Green Bay averaged 97.4 rushing yards per game.
The Packers will be able to score, but defending the Cowboys is the question. Rodgers rolled to his left, allowing Cook to get behind safety Byron Jones and fire a ideal pass down the sidelines.
Going into Sunday’s game at Dallas, the Packers led the National Football League by scoring touchdowns on 78 percent of trips into the red zone. Time is the key because the Cowboys can apply pressure. Last year, they finished the season ranked third in T.O.P. while this year they’re now sitting at 23rd.
This will certainly be an exciting game as revenge has to be on the Cowboys’ minds.
More recently the Packers have beaten the Cowboys in the playoffs twice in the last four years and have won eight of the last 12 meetings.
