After reading this, maybe some of us have been taking this game lightly. I still know that if we come out playing Packer football and we do it for 60 minutes, we'll be fine. We need this win to slingshot us into a strong finish to get that first round bye week.

I actually kind of thought the same thing after the Raiders beat Denver last week. Two big division wins in a row after they hadn't had a lot of luck doing that in recent years. They are on the up-swing, and trying to gain momentum going into next year.
Having said that, I still think the Packers take care of business against them. I really feel that GB will win out. Here's to hoping they do just that, and the Cowboys lose at least two.

They might give GB an early scare, but the better team always wins in the end. Oakland isn't quite where GB was this time last year.

actually with 4 games left we were 4-8 and had come off a stretch of getting blown away by New England and New York and losing a heart breaker to Seattle. Oakland is already riding a hot streak as of now.
I think we can beat them, but there are no gimmies.

I have to say it's nice to see other team's fans here contributing without trying to stir up trouble. Fans like E_T_C are a good thing. (even if I hate the signature clips... 
)
I give the Raiders some credit, they do look improved but there's little chance a Cali team is going to feel like playing hard for 4 qtrs when it's 20 degrees out in a hostile environment. It won't be a sleepwalk, but I pick by Pack by at least 10.

It's good to know that MM isn't taking the game lightly, but I don't see it -- the Raiders aren't just young, they're missing talent in a couple of fairly key places.
On any given Sunday you can win or you can lose, but I'm not too concerned about this team.

It's funny how the 'push over' teams at the end of our schedule here are starting to heat up - ie. Rams and Raiders. I'm glad we're already done with the Vikings - that team looks like it can pull some serious playoff upsets, but I don't think they have any potential to be a true contender.

I agree about the Vikes. But can they really hang with GB, Dal or TB? I dont think they can beat any of these 3 teams, but the other WC teams and Seattle should be on notice.

The Bears are a better team than the Packers?
The Cowboys? Hopefully, we'll see.

Better at Ping Pong maybe, but only because Brett has a trick shoulder right now....
I always say this, division games are completely different from regular games. Losing to the Bears sux, but anyone following the NFL for the last 30 years knows that you just throw out the records and the stats for those matchups. Hell, I fully expect Dallas to lose to either Washington or Philly here at the end of the season. And which ever one pulls out the win will look like true contenders doing so.
The loss at Dallas was GB's wake up call, and it really didn't hurt them.
It wouldn't hurt Dallas to lose one more just to make sure they aren't buying into the hype.
