Packers-Cowboys Halftime Thoughts

Well, if the Packers don't run the ball more in the 2nd half, they aren't going to win this game. They have 35 rushing yards to Dallas' 149. Dallas has dominated the time of possession throughout the half, and is going to eventually wear the Packers defense down. I thought there were just too many pass plays called early on. Grant looked good the first 4-5 carries (minus the fumble), so keep giving him the ball. I know I have fantasy football interest in this as well, but seriously. They have to dominate the ball and keep that potent offense off the field, or this game is going to be a double digit win for the Cowboys. Any thoughts?

The Pack must first take care of the run defense before they can even think of their run offense.

They've been on the field too much. That's one of the reasons they can't stop the run. They've played decent defense. Two big plays have killed them. That's it.

Couldn't agree more with what Madden just said. Not great play calling and they played right into the Cowboys hands. I hate this shit where Grant plays on running downs and Jackson plays on passing downs. You just payed Grant a boatload of money. Give him the ball 25 times a game.
