The Packers Just Massacred the Dallas Cowboys

            Holy cow. The Packers just absolutely whomped the Cowboys on national television. Who could’ve seen this coming?

            So much can be said about this team and how well they played. From Aaron Jones’ ownership of the Cowboys to Jordan Love, and back to the defense who stepped up in the big moment. All these things circle back to one singular reason, and that reason is Matt LaFleur.

            LaFleur deserves a lot of credit for doing this against a powerhouse team like the Dallas Cowboys with the youngest roster in the NFL. Some are asking the question, was Aaron Rodgers holding LaFleur back during their time together in Green Bay? That’s a whole different conversation for another time. The point is, LaFleur can COACH!

            The offensive production in this game was off the charts. Aaron Jones tied the record for most touchdowns in a playoff game as a member of the Packers. Getting Jones rolling was exactly what the Packers needed to do in this game, and they executed perfectly. The passing game was just as effective too, Jordan Love finished the game with a perfect passer rating of 158.3 in his playoff debut. Well, it was perfect until Joe Barry’s prevent defense ruined it. The guy is special though, there’s no doubt about that. He makes great throws, and his decision-making is superb.

Love connected with Romeo Doubs six times for 151 yards and a touchdown. He also hit Luke Musgrave and Dontayvion Wicks for touchdown passes as well, both rookies! The response the young offensive players had in this game was perfect. They played calm, cool, and collected. That’s all you can ask for.

The defense did just what they needed to do as well. They came up with multiple turnovers in this game, including a pick-six from Darnell Savage. The ending score may say so differently thanks to prevent defense, but they showed out. They did exactly what they needed to do in this game. Get stops and keep the ball out of the hands of the most high-powered offense in the NFL.

The Packers couldn’t have scripted this game any better. They hit every nail on the head this game and highlighted what a great game plan can do. I can’t stress enough how great of a job Matt LaFleur has done with this team throughout this season. Even at their lowest, he kept this young Packers team together and helped rally them into the playoffs. This was a statement win for LaFleur as a coach and nobody should be talking about his future as the head coach of the Packers.

This win was historic as well for the league. Since the implementation of the 7th seed in the playoffs, none of them have won a game. That’s not the case anymore though after the #7 Packers just knocked off the #2 Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the playoffs!

            Up next for the Pack, they travel to San Francisco to take on the 49ers who have served the Packers up a ton of their playoff woes in recent history. The same motto for this game against Dallas should be taken up against the 49ers. Why not us? We’re not even supposed to be here. So why can’t we go out and shock everyone again?

The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay

  The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay                It’s early, but through four games the Packers have had multiple injuries that have hurt them early this 2023 NFL season.             For starters, the loss of David Bakhtiari to IR is a killer. Unfortunately, most Packer fans could see it coming from a mile away. His injury at the end of the 2020 season seems to be a career killer to what could have been a clear-cut hall-of-fame career.             Other offensive line injuries have hurt the Packers as well, Elgton Jenkins is expected to miss a few games with a knee injury after exiting week 2 against Atlanta. Zach Tom, who has performed well for the Packers early, is also dealing with a knee injury. These injuries are another indicator as to why the Packers have struggled to run the football early. Of course, Aaron Jones playing only one full game hurts, but these offensive line injuries need to end quickly if the Packers expect to win more games. Continuing with the offense, Christ

They dominated in every aspect of this game as they should’ve. Jayden Reed is easily the steal of the draft this season and this game proved it even more. The connection between Love and Reed is something special, and the future looks very bright for the Packers. . @jordan3love ➡️ @JaydenReed5 for the TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/8QRr5RCyv7 — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 THAT'S A @jordan3love TD! 🏃💨 #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/mnNyZGdKJO — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 ANOTHER @JaydenReed5 TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/FT58FpKFbq — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 Capping off a 91-yard drive!

Packers vs. 49ers Preview: Prepare for a Matt LaFleur Masterclass

Image
  Can the Green Bay Packers do it again? Can they shock the entire nation by beating the San Francisco 49ers at home? It’s going to be a tall task and a lot of things are going to need to go their way. However, as we’ve seen this season, any team is beatable.             The 49ers are an absolute wagon and as of recent history, they’ve dominated the Packers in the playoffs. However, we’re not here to dwell on the past, we’re here looking forward to the future as the Packers themselves have done this season. They battled back from a 3-6 record and are now one of the hottest teams in the NFL following their 4 th  win in a row against the Dallas Cowboys last weekend. The Packers are 0-4 in their last four playoff games against the 49ers. Aaron Jones: "It's not about the past. It's about the future and what we're about to do right now." pic.twitter.com/eoQfRXlx9g — Adriana Torres (@TorresAdrianaTV) January 18, 2024             I could say the Packers don’t have a sho
