Rodgers focuses on accuracy, Packers look to get pass going

“Prescott’s a flawless guy for this team”, said former Cowboys head coach now Fox football analyst Jimmy Johnson during halftime of the Cowboys game. In the game versus the Packers, Elliott had 157 rush yards and became the first player since 2009 to have four straight games of at least 150 yards from scrimmage.

“I’d hate to end up here with two winning quarterbacks and a tough decision as to who is going to win the game”, Jones said with a wink.

Since Friday, that chorus has grown to include four prominent names in Cowboys lore: Hall of Fame quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, all-time National Football League rushing leader Emmitt Smith and two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Jimmy Johnson.

Rodgers has passed for 1,170 yards with 10 touchdowns and four interceptions in five games this season.

“Have a glass of scotch and chill out a little bit, watch the film, ” Rodgers said about his plans for Sunday night.

“The scotch was great”. Now he’s going to turn it over more, but he gives them the big plays.

“I just think it’s accuracy”, Rodgers said Tuesday. So while we are absolutely impressed with the play of Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line, we can also say that this might be the beginning of a course correction for this Packers run defense. The last time the Packers lost was September 21, 2008 and it just happened to be at Lambeau Field.

If you take a bad angle or if you simply begin to over-pursue, as the Packers did with great frequency, Elliott is passing you.

The numbers are startling.

The offense’s troubles aren’t exclusively Rodgers’ fault, far from it.

Garrett said the team went into Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers hoping that receiver Dez Bryant could get back on the field after missing the previous two games with a hairline fracture in his right knee. I’m confident. We’re five games into it. We have got to clean that up.

As for Hoyer, he’ll be attacking a no-name group of cornerbacks.

Veteran starter Sam Shields hasn’t been on the field since suffering a concussion in the September 11 season opener.

The defense is precariously thin at defensive back with Sam Shields still in the concussion protocol (since opening day) and Quinten Rollins a late scratch after an injury at practice on Saturday.

A week ago, Mike McCarthy’s Green Bay Packers were 3-1 and he felt he didn’t need to explain what was up with the offense after putting up 400 yards in a win over the Giants.

The Packers didnt get into the end zone until Rodgers and Cobb connected on a 6-yard touchdown pass with 6:53 left to get within 27-16. “So just the attitude that we have wears those guys down”. But the Cowboys appear to finally have an heir apparent to their aging and oft-injured quarterback, and there’s a real chance Romo will have to embrace a backup role once he is able to suit up. That’s exactly what we are about to find out with this week’s edition of the NFL Power Rankings. “They’ve gotten beat by maybe the two best teams in the National Football League now in Dallas and Minnesota and, you know, tight games”. They’ve topped 20 points only once in six games.

“I thought he was OK”, Coach Chip Kelly said in assessing Kaepernick’s outing. “And they dismantled Green Bay”.

Dak will keep the QB controversy going with a spectacular performance as he leads Dallas to a convincing victory over Rodgers in his Packers. The other option is Don Jackson, an undrafted rookie who’s on the practice squad.
