BillGreen Bay's defense, this is before the latest injury.
BillOn third down, giving up 55%.
BillDallas is 52%. Dax, by any metric, been one of the three best QBs in the league this year. and I look back at that Packers they threw the ball they connected on some deep passes against Chicago's terrible pass defense. They also got five turnovers that was an everything went right game I personally don't think the Packers are a playoff team and I thought Dallas fell asleep at the wheel in that Tampa game it was just a Sunday after Thursday
Billafter a Sunday weird game they're playing on for Tampa rookie QB didn't take the game seriously they were sleepwalking through it
Billand I think they're going to be really good offensively I just think this team's a fucking juggernaut offensively. So
Houseit's a wagon. It's a wagon offensively. And to your point on the sleepwalking note that they, that Tampa game was their third game in 12 days because, and, and coming off of a Brazil trip. So they went to Brazil. They, they came home.
