The Cowboys (1-6) (1-2 V) lost to Jacksonville 17-35, at home, in Week 8 and have dropped to last in the NFC East. QB John Kitna made 34 of 49 passes for 379 yards with one TD, but four interceptions. RB Felix Jones had 8 carries for 22 yards, while TE Jason Witten made 10 catches for 97 yards with a TD. WR Miles Austin was top receiver with seven catches for 117 yards. The most amazing thing about this season is how unpredictable the collapse has been. Presumably the players still have the same set of skills, though the argument could be made they are deteriorating here or there. Presumably the coaches still have the same schemes, teaching techniques and strategies. Their IQ level is the same as it was a year ago. But something is missing. That team we saw last year wouldn't lay down in front of the Jacksonville Jaguars, or do all the other things this one does to confuse and frustrate. Every Sunday we get another clue about how dysfunctional, and really sad, this group is. The difference between 2009 and 2010 is that last year's team had a sense of desperation to it, which has been missing from this one all along. Just because you’re hosting the Super Bowl, doesn’t get you in it. The Cowboys offense is ranked fourth overall (381ypg) with the third best ranked pass game (300ypg), but a 31st ranked running game (80ypg). They score the 13th most amount of points per-game (22ppg). Dez Bryant leads their offense with five TD’s. On defense the Cowboys are ranked 14th overall (327ypg), with a 10th ranked pass rush (205ypg) and a 24th ranked rush defense (121ypg). The Cowboys give up the 27th most amount of points per-game (26.7ppg).
The Packers (5-3) (3-1 H) beat the Jets 9-0, on the road in Week 8 and are in first in the NFC North. QB Aaron Rodgers completed 15 of 34 passes for 170 yards. RB Brandon Jackson had 15 carries for 55 yards, while WR Greg Jennings made six catches for 81 yards. WR Donald Driver had a bad day after dropping all three passes targeted at him. Their defense intercepted the Jets Mark Sanchez twice and had two sacks. With veteran Donald Driver sidelined by a quadriceps injury, the Green Bay Packers figure to turn to James Jones to fill the void. What the Packers don't know is which Jones will show up. Will it be the one who caught four passes for 107 yards in their win over Minnesota? Or the one who failed to catch a pass against the Dolphins or against the Jets last Sunday, when he also dropped what likely would have been a 72-yard touchdown late in the third quarter of a 9-0 victory? Their offense is ranked 16th overall (335ypg) with an 10th ranked pass game (238ypg) and a 22nd ranked running game (97ypg). They score the 14th most amount of points per-game (22ppg). Greg Jennings leads the Packers offense with five TD’s. On defense the Packers are ranked 18th overall (341ypg), with a 17th ranked pass rush (217ypg) and a 25th ranked rush defense (123ypg). The Packers give up the fourth least amount of points per-game (17ppg). CB Charles Woodson is tied with Champ Bailey for the most interceptions by an active player (47).
