He's been exceptional all season long. 3rd highest QB rating in the league (among starting QB's). No you are not biased Even though stats can sometimes be deceptive you cannot dispute Prescott's this season - they are outstanding. But there is another stat - and that is rookie QBs winning Championships and Superbowls That's not to say he wont break that trend. It's just , dare i say, that in recent years the Cowboys have been sort of Jetesque whereas the Packers have the play off pedigree It must be exciting though Edited January 11, 2017 by Ally Bongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giant Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 I like Prescott too, but it can be hard to judge how good he is. We'll see over the next couple of years. For example I wouldnt say he is better than Andrew Luck, but Prescott has the best Line in the NFL, and Luck has just about the worst. Prescott has Zeke Elliott and Luck has septuagenarian Frank Gore. Luck has no receiver as good as Bryant or TE as good as Witten to throw to. So its no wonder Prescott has good stats. Hopefully he can turn out to be a Russell Wilson type, but we'll need a bigger sample size. He has had an outstanding rookie season, yet will probably be pipped to rookie of the year by his team mate! Regardless, the Green Bay - Dallas game should be a cracker this weekend, I'm looking forward to watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, the Green Bay - Dallas game should be a cracker this weekend, I'm looking forward to watching it. In terms of pass protection, i'd argue Aaron Rodgers has a better O-Line in Green Bay. However they can't run block very well. Overall i'd agree that Dallas has the best line in the league but Prescott does still have to deal with pressure fairly often. I agree on Luck. He's one of the very top QB's IMO, along with Brady, Ryan, Rodgers, Wilson and Big Ben. If Prescott gets to that level of passing ability, then, combined with Zeke, Bryant and that O-Line, we might be seeing the start of an incredible team (something similar is happening in Pittsburgh, if they can keep Roethlisberger healthy over the next 5 years, then we might have some the start of a great cross-conference rivalry). Can't wait for the match-up on Sunday night. In fact, 3 of 4 games have the potential to be absolute crackers. One of the best Divisional rounds i can remember in a few years.

The Texans defense will be on the field most of the game Patriots are 15.5 favourites Sunday 6.05 pm Steelers @ Chiefs - prediction Chiefs (against my better judgement) Pittsburgh have looked unbeatable at times and rank ordinary at others The Chiefs have been really impressive and home field advantage should swing it Chiefs are 1.5 favourites Sunday 9.40 pm Packers @ Cowboys - prediction Packers I'm still not buying Dak Prescott. He is still a rookie going against arguably the best QB in the NFL. Nelson will be a big loss for the Packers but their other receivers stepped up against the Giants. The key for Dallas is not getting behind by more than one score Cowboys are 4.5 favourites My predictions are Seahawks at Falcons, going to have to take the Falcons to win this, Seattle aren't the team they were and there offense will miss Tyler Lockett speed in this game. Matt Ryan is a far better QB than Wilson and has more options in offense, Falcons to win 30-20 Texans at Patriots, don't think Houston have a hope in hell with that offense, until they get a good QB they wont be able to compete in games at New England, Patriots to win 26-9 Steelers at Chiefs, this is a very hard game to call Steelers offense against Chiefs defense, Steelers defo have better players in offense but if Chiefs defense can get at Ben and cover Brown and Bell I think Chiefs may just edge this one 26-23 Packers at Cowboys, my heart says the packers being a packers fan but my head says Dallas, think the game being in Dallas suits cowboys as if the game was in Green bay with the cold weather then packers would win then, Dallas had an extra week to rest up, have no injury concerns and Green Bay look to be missing our star WR Jordy Nelson who is going to be a massive miss, leading TD scorer in the NFL and with injuries in our defense the now as well building up. Think Dallas will just win this game 27-24 unfortunately :>( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Heartbreaking stuff 4 crucial penalties won the game for Green Bay: 2 in the first half on 3rd down which gave Green Bay a 1st down. Both drives led to a Touchdown one which negated a big first down for Dallas and ended up forcing them to settle for a field goal One late in the game which negated an interception and would've given dallas the chance to drive to win the game. Discipline cost Dallas. The best team lost Hope Atlanta absolutely destroy Green Bay next week, i'm fed up with Aaron Rodgers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 that was some pass and catch in the last minute from Green Bay. the wait to find out if it was legitimate or not seemed to last forever. Hats off to the kicker for Green Bay though, two massive pressure kicks. Wanting the dirty birds now to destroy Packers in the Division game.

Oakland seems to not be able to pay or interested in paying for a new stadium, so a move is pretty much their only option. Vegas is pretty much the only option and the stadium plans look fantastic. I just hope they create a new black hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
