But I'm nervous for the Dallas/GB game. This is one of the biggest, non-SuperBowl game in NFL history. A win literally builds a brand.

This is as bright of a spotlight as a American professional sports has to offer. And a rookie QB from Mississippi State is right in the center of it.

Unbelivable.

I'm the same way. I haven't looked forward to a game this much since I was a kid and the niners were going to the Super Bowl. I've never rooted for the cowboys prior to this season. My little brother has liked ole miss and the cowboys since we were little because I was a state/niners fan. We talked about getting together Sunday to watch the game. He said "well it's gotta be at my house because if I break something, it's gonna be mine." There's no shame if Dak was to get beat by the red-hot Rodgers, but if he was to pull this off a legend will be in the making. I can't wait, I'll be worthless between now and then. What I'm most proud of is how he has handled all of this, that and how a Mississippi State QB has made all these experts and talking heads eat crow. Part of me doubts he can keep it up, then I can't help but remember how many doubters he's had along the way and he hasnt skipped a beat. If he wins some of the farkers need to redo the John Cohen "Today was a good day" pic and have Dak in the car.

I've watched Rodgers for a couple of weeks. The throws he's making are unreal. I'm not sure Dallas wins this one despite being favored.

He is playing out of his mind right now. And if you have good coverage he takes off and runs for a first down. No one has been able to get him in the pocket

I heard Dallas is fully healthy. Which means Mo Claiborne is back. Irving will have to be big Sunday. Yes, it's going to be a nerve racking game.

I just can't get excited or nervous for a Cowboys game. As a matter of fact I will not be watching the game, rather be in the woods sweating. I really hope Dak does well but if they lose I will not be upset.

From a Dak perspective is this game setting up to be the 2014 Bama game? Will Dak be a deer in the headlights in the first half like the 2014 game? Huge burden even for a guy with the IT factor. Hope he plays lights out for the entire game. We'll see.

If Dak were going to be a deer in headlights, it would have happened already.

I don't think the fact that it's a playoff game will play a factor. He's had many good games and a few bad ones, but not because the moment has been to big for him. If he struggles, it will be because the Packers have a great game plan.

If both teams play relatively clean games then Dallas wins.

Killer turnovers and/or killer penalties could tilt it Green Bay's way. I'm a little nervous too but that's normal for me.

I'm a life-long Cowboys fan so this season has been doubly awesome for me. So far. Got to finish.

Good point. Also, Dallas has as good or better OL than GB...

Dallas also has the #1 running back in 2016.

How different would State vs Bama in 2014 have turned out if (1) State had a better OL than Bama and (2) if State and Bama swapped running backs?

Same here. Didn't give two ***** about Dallas until Dak started playing in preseason. I'm a Titans fan and have never watched them as much as I have Dallas this year. I don't think I've missed an offensive snap. It's to the point I had a dream last night that Dallas lost the playoff game and I was sad (WTF???) and I'm adjusting travel Sunday so that I don't miss a Dallas Cowboys game.

From the title I thought this post about about the bball game vs a&m. Oh, well, glad bball is relevant enough to make me think that. And as a die hard who dat, all I'll say is go Dak!
