NFCCG 2016 -- revenge tour goes to Atlanta!!

[Poppa San]

3:40 kick again next week. It's been lucky for us so far.

EDIT: 3:05. Fox put up a wrong visual and I forgot to change this earlier.

 

[Packerdawg]

What a great game. Rodgers and Crosby are amazing.

 

[XPack]

Yeah. This was close. Very close. I'd have had an heart attack if this went into OT. Touch wood.

Falcons will be a high scoring game. Straight up between Rodgers vs Matt on who can score more. And Matt's been having a season as good as Rodgers. Quite even, I should say.

Weirdly, the difference maker will be our Defence. Falcons D sucks even worse than ours. I think we'll hold them off to couple of scores less than ours.

Packers 49 - 42 Falcons

 

[C-Lee]

The defense is going to have to play the game of their lives. This Falcons offense is disgusting.

 

[Poppa San]

Shootouts rarely are predicted. I'd be more confident of a 24-18 game than a 45-42 game.

I actually think we matchup a little better against them. Their O-line isn't quite as dominant as D's.

 

[King of Jeans]

Packers 77
Falcons 76

Hmmm, this is going to be an interesting pregame discussion leading up to this one.

I guess the one thing about the Falcons is in the past one would always say they just lacked that "IT" factor. Don't know if one could honestly say that's changed yet despite beating Seattle.

I know people look at that Falcons Seahawks game as it being some major offensive fireworks show that Atlanta put up on them, but I'd say the big problem for the Seahawks was their O couldn't stay on the field. Wilson, aside from a couple deep bombs was running for his life and throwing garbage passes like he's been doing all year on the road. And the Hawks O-line was garbage and responsible for turning the game on a safety and handing points to the Falcons.

To me .... I'm just looking at who wants this more and I'm feeling it's the Packers.

 

[azrsx05]

This defense is going to get torched next week. Our only hope is the offense. This defense is as soft as they come.

 

[longtimefan]

Atlanta pass Def..... 406 points allowed .. Packers 385

Atlanta Def yards allowed passing 4,267 yards

Packers
4, 308 yards allowed passing..

Yeah, this will be a shoot out

Even though we won today, our D was making me so, SO mad. Ugh. They are so soft it's not even funny. We might be in trouble if Morgan can't play.

Yeah a shootout ... with machine guns!

 

[Poppa San]

IIRC highest scoring playoff game for both teams was Packers Arizona 2009. One team is like 73 points in ancient history.

We were getting blown out, but then came back.. Finley went off that day

 

[Sky King]

...Packers 49 - 42 Falcons

Did you mean at halftime?

 

[XPack]

Every time we win or Rodgers makes a great throw, the announcers come up with the standard "Team no one wants to play" line. But then, considering the state of defense, almost all opposition fans I speak to or forums I read, seem to think they'll have a field day against us. Most have already written us off.

Started off with "One and done in playoff's" in almost all articles. "Giants D will shut AR down" seems to be the theme. We wiped the floor with their D.

Then "Zeke will run them ragged" He did run, but we ain't ragged. No siree, not even close. I even read comments like "Cowboys vs Patriots, the game America wants to see" Well, don't hold your breath for that game. The #1 team just became #2 in our playoff hit list.

Now Falcons 'brotherhood' is claiming this to be a no contest. They seem to think they have a better O and D than us. I think they are OD'd with whatever they are smoking.

Looking forward to the "They didn't win. We beat ourselves" excuse from the Falcons next week.

Personally I think the Cowboys were the litmus test. I fancy us against the Falcons and even moreso against the Pats should they float to the top of the sewer.

[ExpatPacker]

Yep, it's funny surfing the Falcons and Patriots boards. Both say the same thing: if we play the Packers we'll blow them out.

Atlanta don't exactly have an awesome D. As for the Pats, if the Texans had half a QB they may have won that game.

 

[OldSchool101]

My main concern is injuries. IF we can go toe to toe with Atlanta and squeak out a win without more injuries? Then we'll have 2 weeks to get healthy and prepare, which is paramount.
Any "expert" fan who discounts GB after watching the 1st seed fall at home is just plain naive and that pride will only make the fall harder.

Yikes. 2nd on the team with 4.5 sacks. If Bahk can hold down Beasley Rodgers should have a ton of time

Most of this message board, including myself, did not give the Cowboys the proper credit and respect that they deserve. They are one hell of a football team and deserve all of the credit in the world for what they were able to do.

Atlanta concerns me, but after what I saw tonight, I'm not doubting what this team can accomplish.

 

[pacmaniac]

Julio Jones will have over 300 yards receiving.

I wish I could find someplace to put some money down against that absurd prediction

 

[PackAttack12]

I think that it's mostly schematically, though. Not necessarily soft players.

Not sure what you were implying, if anything. Just giving my thought.

It must be miserable continually attempting to predict the demise of this team, only to continually be proved wrong.
