Their crusade to defeat the Dallas Cowboys on their home turf after seven consecutive losses instead became an exercise in tedium and utter futility. Dallas isn't ready to abdicate the National Football Conference throne, and the Packers aren't ready to take it. That was made abundantly clear in the Cowboys' 21-6 victory over the overmatched Packers, a team that had almost no chance to move the ball with its starting wide receivers and tight end Mark Chmura out with injuries. I don't think they're appropriate. This is professional football.
People have to step up and perform.
To me, this was an embarrassing game for the Green Bay Packers. Under siege much of the night, Packers quarterback Brett Favre struggled trying to find open receivers against a Cowboys defense that featured Pro Bowl cornerbacks Deion Sanders and Kevin Smith and all-pro strong safety Darren Woodson. That part of the game was very poor tonight. I keep hearing we're playing without our receivers. It's part of professional football.
