[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 685104"] Why not? It's been working for 2 games now with only 2 punts. Control the ball, control the clock, keep a substandard opponent defense on the field and their productive offense off of it. Of course this doesn't work if you turn the ball over. Then again nothing does. First, Cook went down. Then Nelson showed he was clearly not himself, then to compound matters he limped off the field last week. Yeah, he came right back, but was just a decoy. Lacy down, Starks off his game then down, Adams down. It's hard to imagine a robust offense this depleted. This offense getting into a shootout as an alternative to the new-found ball control passing game should be off the table; this offense is clearly not capable of holding up their end of that bargain unless and until opposing defenses modify their approach. As noted last week, this is the time of year where Matty Ice has a habit of going cold. His efficiency has been dropping for 3 weeks now. Denver and Seattle? Sure, that's understandable. The Chargers? Not so much. Still, the Packer defense needs to put a good game together to keep the score in check. The CB situation does not help things, though Gunter is better than most think. One big plus is that Ryan is the kind of QB that Capers is best at defending: limited mobility, not particularly accurate on the move. I think this last factor tips the balance. I'll go out on a limb and say it will be Packers over Atlanta 24 - 20 in a fit of cockeyed optimism and unbridled enthusiasm. The again, that was Billy Mumphry's downfall. ;) [/QUOTE]
