Pressure is definitely the key.

David Irving is on notice.

And, to those that are saying Aaron Rodgers wasn't playing like himself.... our defense since week 6 have gotten 100 times better. If we can get some pressure on Rodgers, our chances get even better.
What you are saying is true but he is more mobile now and can wear down a defense pretty quick chasing him around the field.

Why is he more mobile now? He wasn't hurt when we played them in week 6.

He supposedly had a lingering thigh issue until midseason.
It wasn't slowing him down any. He seemed just as mobile as he always is.

He is better conditioned now. The first of the season he was experiencing some problems and wasn't in good physical shape yet because he was primarily working on rehabbing his prior injury. He apparently go his mental problems worked out and is condioned beyond the prior rehab status.

Also keep in mind, we were without Scandrick, Wilber, and Dez the first time around. And, wasn't that the game Claiborne went out?

I'm not buying it.

Claiborne went out against Philly.

But things are definitely different this time. I can see you're in full homer mode, but I don't understand how you can't see how much better Rodgers and the Packers as a whole are playing now as opposed to when we last saw them.

We can still beat them, but it'll be tougher this time around, especially on defense.

I didn't say they aren't playing better. The only thing I referenced was this notion that Rodgers was somehow hobbled the first time around.

Whether it was health or something else, the point is that he was not playing at the level he is now and that is what presents the biggest obstacle on Sunday.

Bryant did not play in the October meeting because of a tibial plateau fracture in his knee, but he did hear plenty of fans say before the game, “It was a catch.”
I forgot that Dez missed that game. No Dez and we still won comfortably.

And yet he still went 31-42 for almost 300 yards. I think their whole offense is playing better, but let's not act like he had an awful game against us in week 6.

Rogers and the Packers offense are definitely playing at a higher level than they were back in October, but as Iamtdg pointed out, you have to be fair and acknowledge that the Cowboys defense has been much better lately as well.

As far as forcing turnovers and getting sacks are concerned, the Cowboys were probably one of the top 10 teams in the league during the month of December.
