    I question whether the Falcons are better than the Seahawks. True, they have better receivers and better RBs and probably a better O Line. However, I don't see Ryan escaping the pass rush as Wilson was able to do so many times, and I sure don't see him running for yardage like Wilson.

    Also, our Offense had a lot of near misses against the Seahawks. Some of that type of play should be successful against a slightly lesser D.

    I think we go down there and beat them.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    Atlanta had the NFL's #1 offense last year, and there's no reason to think they'll decline this year. The Packers offense, which seemed to figure some things out in the 2nd half yesterday will need to play a good 4 quarters to have a chance Sunday. I expect them to play better offensively than they did yesterday.

    Well, they lost their OC, so yeah, it's possible. At least experiencing some early season struggles, anyway.

    And Ryan played out of his mind, and IMO over his head last season. Does it continue?

    Packers have 5th ranked defense in ypg right now. They'll go down now with Atlanta in atlanta. But damn, we're looking good right now!

    And our offense wasn't as good, but Seattle is tough as nails so that will get better.


    We'll see. It's a tough two games to start a season. I was excited going in to this season, but f we win in Atlanta I'll be ecstatic!!

    Agree; huge 1st win, 1-1 not a bad start with our schedule but 2-0 would b awesome
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Yea, you aren't supposed to start 2-0 with those matchups and if we do, its something to be excited about.
