That obviously puts Green Bay behind the 8 ball immediately and if for some reason Green Bay can't score a touchdown on its first drive, you immediately risk going down 10 or 14 to nothing.But if we get the opening kick off and score, it immediately puts us in a position of comfort. If we don't, we give the ball to Atlanta in a 0-0 game and even if they turnaround and score, it's still only 7-0. We had a drive to figure out what the defense is trying to do, and by the 2nd drive we'll have a better idea of how to attack them.I think all things considered, receiving the opening kickoff is the way to go, just with Atlanta. Especially with McCarthy's tendency to screw up the end of halves anyway.</blockquote>
