Why the Packer-Cowboys Game is So Important

This is only Game #5, BUT, this will tell us a lot about our 2019 Packers!

1 - Is the Packer Defense improved or not?  The first 3 games seemed to show a huge improvement!  But, the Packer defense looked very bad against the Eagles run game in game 4.  I still think, our d-backs are above average, but the d-line looked very weak.  And, inside linebacker may be getting a boost soon?  Oren Burke may be back soon.  Are the Packers a playoff team?

2 - The Packer Offense?  At time this year, WOW!  But, the Rodgers to Adams passing combo seems to be the key!  Running game next week, NO SHOW!  First, when we get Jamaal Williams back, after that cheap shot against the Eagles?  Our 3rd stringer, Dexter Williams may have a chance to strut his stuff this week!  Tight Ends, they keep telling us Jimmy Graham and his tight end buddies will make a move - NEED it this week!  Is the Packer Offense for real?

3 - Special Teams - we seem to have a punter, a kicker.  But, that long return by the Eagles hurt us last week - NO LONG RETURNS!  And, it has been years since the Packers have had a dangerous return game on kicks & punts!

4 - Coaching?  At time our young head coach sold look like a "deer in headlights"!  And, was part of the pathetic showing last week a Mike Pettine issue??  This game will need good coaching!

So, Packers - Cowboys!  A game that will tell us a lot about the Packers of 2019!!
