    Atlanta's new stadium will I expect be very loud to play in and GB's Coaches will know this as well . The Packers have played in similarly loud conditions and have learned how to deal with it. Practice as well as classroom training should have been preparing everyone for it.

    I expect to see Bakhtari take the field at LT , but not Bulaga . Murphy will need to play at RT again this week and the game plan will need to take it into account . More TE involvement , IMO , will be part of that plan . The Offense will play well , but it will not be a high scoring show .

    The Defense, once again , will need to play well as the Falcons will not want to loose in their new home . I believe it will all come down to a final Cosby FG to pull out a victory in this one .

    Go Pack Go !

    If your not the lead dog , then the view never changes !

    I'll be at the game with my 71 year old pops. Section 130 row 12. Basically 35 yard line, lower level 12 rows up. Super pumped. First time at the new stadium. It's supposed to be awe inspiring. I'm really glad we won last week so I can enjoy this game more, with less pressure. You know Aaron and the boys want nothing more than to come in here and exercise some demons and break in the new digs right. Can't wait. GPG!!!!

    When opening up a new stadium, the home team has covered the spread in only 4 of the last 13. I believe the spread is 2.5.

    If Bakhtiari can go, I think the Packers have a real chance.

    I think its actually worse to discover Matt Millen on TV by surprise that know that he might be doing an NFL broadcast with your team.

    This has not worked out for the better.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    This actually looks fun and designed for all ages, a nice move compared to the trend around Lambeau. The Titletown District opened the public plaza and park this week.

    Item 5. Poor secondary play kept the Packers out of Super Bowl LI. After allowing just nine points and 135 net yards passing Sunday against Seattle, the assumption is Atlanta will see a much better Packers defense Sunday night than it saw in January’s NFC Championship. But the film begs to differ. Green Bay’s back seven struggled against switch releases. Two Seahawks receivers would run vertically along gradually intersecting paths, and one would pop open inside. Unfortunately, Seattle’s pass protection usually broke down before Russell Wilson could target the open man. It will be different with Atlanta. Expect Matt Ryan to attack the Packers inside, and to really go after slot man Quinten Rollins.

    Seems like every year one position gets crushed by injury. Tackle wouldn't be a big deal if our QB was Joe Schmoe, but since its ARod....

    But you worship the John Schneider approach of active FA signings. Worked real well. Their OLine problems are great BEFORE anyone is injured amIright!

    He's made some real errors on the O-Line. Traded Max Unger, a Pro Bowl Center, for Jimmy Graham. Had Jahri Evans last year and cut him. Tried to make up for it this year by going after T.J. Lang, but lost out to Detroit.

    Who ever said I worship Schneider? I do find it odd that TT isn't good enough figure out that protecting Rodgers is job number 1.

    Need All Pro starters and Pro Bowl backups. All within the cap while paying everyone else what they deserve. Anything less is a failure.

    Packers' makeshift OL kept Aaron Rodgers upright -- but just barely

    1:56 PM ET ....Rob Demovsky ... ESPN Staff Writer

    ATLANTA -- " David Bakhtiari loved the way Kyle Murphy played in his place at left tackle, and Murphy had nothing but good things to say about Justin McCray, who made his first start at right tackle -- the same spot where Murphy made his first start a week earlier.

    Yes, the Green Bay Packers got through a game with a pair of neophytes at the two most important offensive line positions without getting Aaron Rodgers killed, but coach Mike McCarthy’s altered offensive plan couldn’t keep up with the wide-open Atlanta Falcons offense in Sunday night’s 34-23 loss and probably would be a severely limited if Bakhtiari (hamstring) and Bryan Bulaga (ankle) don’t return soon. "
