Official Packers vs. Falcons Game Day Thread

[Joemailman]

Game Time temperature of 13 with wind chill of 4 expected. Snow should be done by then.

If the packers van steal this one, maybe Rodgers becomes a factor yet. Don't feel good about this one though. Falcons have a poor pass defense, but I don't know if the Packers can exploit that weakness.

[channtheman]

Joe, lets ride this game day thread to the Super Bowl!

[Fritz]

IT looks like Steven Jackson is starting to heat up. And with the Packers' famous "Sieve" defense, I don't see how this team can win today.

Falcons will load eleven in the box and dare Flynn to complete a single pass.

Sigh. I've lost faith in this team, altogether. They suck right now.

If they win today, give MM some credit. This team is listing badly. And alot of that's on him. They haven't played for shit since Rodgers went down.

I believe many were clamoring to sign Stephen Jackson last offseason. I put that up there with drafting Mcmillan, but one didn't cost millions.

The Falcons are one team with a worse defense than the Packers, and they've been horrendous against the run. At this point in their respective careers, Lacy > SJax. This is one game where the Packers can potentially control the ground game. The Falcons do have a better QB (having a pretty mediocre year) but their OL has been pretty bad. Hopefully GB at home, with a bit of help from the weather, can nullify Atlanta's QB advantage.

Obligatory game day post.

[Joemailman]

Inactives:

Packers

QB Aaron Rodgers
WR Chris Harper
RB Kahlil Bell
OLB Nate Palmer
T Marshall Newhouse
DE C.J. Wilson
DE Jerel Worthy


Falcons

RB Josh Vaughan
S Kemal Ishmael
LB Omar Gaither
G Harland Gunn
T Terren Jones
T Sean Locklear
DT Travian Robertson

[Joemailman]

So Packers actually have their starting OL if EDS can stay in there. It's when he comes out that things get ugly.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm keeping my eye on EDS playing on a bad ankle. I'd be more in favor of using him as emergency backup. But unfortunately I don't have the final say, will hope for the best.

[Joemailman]

So, will this be a smaller crowd today? Or will the fans who normally don't have access to affordable tickets take advantage of low prices despite the weather and state of the team?

[pbmax]

Greg Punzo's twitter account and http://feed2all.eu are most likely committing some kind of crime by posting these links.

[run pMc]

Let's hope EDS and the rest of the starters can play the whole game...and play it well. If EDS goes down, are they sliding Lang to C, barclay to RG and Sherrod to RT? Keep Barclay at RT and bring in Lane Taylor?
Tretter has been practicing but hasn't been activated yet.

Really hoping for a GB win today. A loss all but eliminates them from playoffs.

[pbmax]

If Barclay is at Center, Lang at Guard and Sherrod at RT I might not make it past the first play. Please keep tabs on them for me while I am whisked away to the emergency room with an anxiety attack.

Same would go for EDS at center but then I doubt they bench Barclay for Sherrod.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Looking forward to the game, I have a good feeling about today, warts and all. I wonder if portable TV will work in 0 degree weather on the ice??

[pbmax]

Friday's Injury Report (usually there is a Sat update but I haven't seen it yet)

Packers
Out: DE C.J. Wilson (ankle), QB Aaron Rodgers (collarbone).
Questionable: C Evan Dietrich-Smith (ankle/knee).
Probable: TE Brandon Bostick (concussion), ILB Jamari Lattimore (quadriceps), LT David Bakhtiari (illness), OLB Mike Neal (abdomen), DT Ryan Pickett (knee), OLB Nick Perry (foot).

Falcons
Questionable: TE Tony Gonzalez (toe), S Zeke Motta (hand).
Probable: C Peter Konz (ankle), LB Sean Weatherspoon (knee).


EDS missed practice on Friday, two in a row due to his ankle. Officially Questionable.

[pbmax]

If Barclay is at Center, Lang at Guard and Sherrod at RT I might not make it past the first play. Please keep tabs on them for me while I am whisked away to the emergency room with an anxiety attack.

Same would go for EDS at center but then I doubt they bench Barclay for Sherrod.

I may have scooped myself. If Lang is at center, then they could leave Barclay at RT and stick Taylor in at Guard.

EDS has to be healthy enough to at least backup today as he is one of only seven OL active.

Fritz: The Atlanta Falcons don't play well in a cold weather stadium. The defeated the Buffalo Bills on the road last week because that game was played in Toronto at the Skydome. If they had played that game in Buffalo...would the Falcons have won?

In analysis the Packers are the superior team. ie Here are some examples:

a) Overall offense: Falcons 13th and Packers 5th

b) Passing Offense: Falcons 5th and Packers 7th.

c) Rushing Offense Packers 8th and Falcons 29th.

d) SCORING Offense: PACKERS 11th and Falcons @ 23rd.

e) In REAL QB Rating Differential comparison the Packers are the better team by nearly 14.

f) The Falcons allow a terrible 28.3 pts/game and score 21.8. Packers Pts. for = 24.5... Pts. against = 25.4

g) Green Bay wins the comparison in Toxic Differential by a differential of 9 (- 4 Packers and - 13 Falcons)

Looking at the intangibles:

It's going to come down to Mike Smith Vs Mike McCarthy at Lambeau Field. MM cannot allow this game to get away from him in the 'W' column.

It's going to be in MM's play calling and reaction to his QB's success or not. It's going to come down to Flynn demonstrating more confidence with the Packers Offense Vs Matt Ryan using his weapons ( Roddy White, Stephen Jackson and Tony Gonzalez) effectively.

Matt Flynn was sacked six times last week Vs the Bills. This guy is nearly as slow in the pocket doing his check downs as Matt Flynn (sacked seven times by the Lions in week 13).

How well can Matt Ryan perform in the cold and in winter conditions !? He hasn't played very well all season in excellent conditions.

I see no reason to give up on the Packers today.

Would I bet a lot of $money$ on the Packers ?

NO !! :grin:

GO PACK GO !

[Joemailman]

I may have scooped myself. If Lang is at center, then they could leave Barclay at RT and stick Taylor in at Guard.

I'd say that's the plan. Taylor/Barclay on the right side probably helps the running game more than Barclay/Sherrod. I think MM will definitely be looking to run the ball if he can. And I'm sure you would agree that's the key to victory. :-P

[ThunderDan]

So, will this be a smaller crowd today? Or will the fans who normally don't have access to affordable tickets take advantage of low prices despite the weather and state of the team?

It will be packed with non-regulars.

[ThunderDan]

Johnny Jolly is back.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Field looks sorta harsh...

[gbgary]

Come on Packers!

[TravisWilliams23]

Looks brutal out there! Brrrrrrrrrr

[ThunderDan]

Two good plays against the run to start.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Okay. I'm here. The Packers are on. I'm optimistic. For now.

[Rutnstrut]

Okay. I'm here. The Packers are on. I'm optimistic. For now.

Why the defense is on the field?

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Why the defense is on the field?

I was a Packer fan in the 70's. This is not even close.

[Rutnstrut]

This D is terrible, fire Capers NOW!!!!

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Jesus, sorta making it look easy...

[ThunderDan]

Burnett with the tackle coming off the edge.

[gbgary]

lets see...how about covering white.

[TravisWilliams23]

We'll get that fixed.

[TravisWilliams23]

Morgan Burnett having a solid year??

[ThunderDan]

Horrible play call by ATL why not another 5 yards and a first down?

[Rutnstrut]

Morgan Burnett having a solid year??

That doesn't take much on this team.

[Rutnstrut]

Horrible play call by ATL why not another 5 yards and a first down?

They actually should have went for it with a run on 4th down, it's not like GB would have stopped them.

[ThunderDan]

They actually should have went for it with a run on 4th down, it's not like GB would have stopped them.

I was talking 3rd down.

[gbgary]

det v phi is a mega snow game.

[ThunderDan]

Great protection on that play.

[woodbuck27]

Burnett with the tackle coming off the edge.

Your Picks on the P P ?

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Okay. First dowm. Time for no huddle and the rhythm method.

[ThunderDan]

Lacy is a beast. Great draft pick TT.

[ThunderDan]

Your Picks on the P P ?

Church ran late no picks for the early games.

[TravisWilliams23]

It's been soooooo long since I've seen a Packer runner who could cut back like Eddie.

[Rutnstrut]

Flynn is terrible.

[ThunderDan]

Come on Flynn. Lots of time and doesn't pull the trigger again.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Nice play call to draw that penalty...

[woodbuck27]

This D is terrible, fire Capers NOW!!!!

IMO the worst defense arguably in at least 25 years.

Today that 'D' has to prove me wrong. :wink:

[gbgary]

keep running straight ahead.

[ThunderDan]

Looks like Flynn goes to his first read or looks to run.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Quarless should have caught that.

[ThunderDan]

That's a better throw.

[woodbuck27]

Good Flynn's seeing Quarless this week and/or MM has game planned more for him!?

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

12 men on the field, FIRE MM

[KalamazooPackerFan]

I love Eddie Lacy.

[woodbuck27]

Big play here!

[gbgary]

Lacy...every down!

[ThunderDan]

I can't wait to see Lacy run once Arod is back.

[woodbuck27]

Eddie carrying the mail.

[Rutnstrut]

Lacy is a BEAST, love seeing him run. Especially when so many on here always said we didn't need a power running game.

[woodbuck27]

Get errr done.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

I love Eddie Lacy.

Again.

[ThunderDan]

That quarter went fast.

[gbgary]

yes!

hopefully not our only td.

[ThunderDan]

Lacy is a BEAST, love seeing him run. Especially when so many on here always said we didn't need a power running game.

Good thing TT didn't change and draft Lacy.

[gbgary]

can barely see the players in phi. lol

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Jesus Christ, that quarter was like 5 minutes long...

[TravisWilliams23]

This type of play calling is what's needed for weather like this. The clocks gonna run down fast.

[woodbuck27]

Current Drive in the RED ZONE :

3-1-ATL 1 (:01) E.Lacy right guard for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN. ATL-T.DeCoud was injured during the play.


2-7-ATL 7 (:42) (Shotgun) M.Flynn pass short middle to E.Lacy to ATL 1 for 6 yards (M.Goodman; J.Babineaux).


1-8-ATL 8 (1:22) E.Lacy right guard to ATL 7 for 1 yard (C.Peters).


1-15-ATL 24 (2:03) (Shotgun) M.Flynn pass short middle to E.Lacy to ATL 8 for 16 yards (J.Bartu).


1-10-ATL 19 (2:52) PENALTY on GB, Offensive 12 On-field, 5 yards, enforced at ATL 19 - No Play.

PACKERS 7 - Falcons 0

[Rastak]

can barely see the players in phi. lol


Almost as bad in Baltimore.....visibility is poor, snowing hard and Viking wearing white jersey's. Maybe they can finally get a few interceptions for once.

[pbmax]

Its the regular O line out there.

Like that Starks saw early action (nice run for first down) but wonder if Lacy was out for lecture or equipment?

Loved the screen.

TE routes plus Jordy seem open short.

Lacy is a best but he HAS to learn to get low on contact. If he did that, would have been touch down on his reception to the 1 yard line. He stayed high and spun instead.

[ThunderDan]

Jesus Christ, that quarter was like 5 minutes long...

25 actual minutes. Game done by 2:15.

[woodbuck27]

Nice play calling by MM.

He mixed it up well.

[woodbuck27]

OK 'D'>>>Back up that Offense ... please.

[pbmax]

That is about as bad as I have seen the new field look.

[TravisWilliams23]

How come Masthay isn't kicking off anymore?

[pbmax]

Shields filled wrong gap. Matthews got pinned in and Jones got tied up by Guard

[pbmax]

How come Masthay isn't kicking off anymore?

Bad KO coverage meant Slocum wanted to get directional

[woodbuck27]

1-10-ATL 22 (14:54) S.Jackson left end to ATL 44 for 22 yards (T.Williams, M.Burnett).


0-0-GB 35 M.Crosby kicks 61 yards from GB 35 to ATL 4. J.Rodgers to ATL 22 for 18 yards (M.Jennings).

Damn that Packer rushing 'D' needs some work.

[woodbuck27]

Hey defense >>> here they come >>> wake up !

[gbgary]

hello...it's roddy white again.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Bad KO coverage meant Slocum wanted to get directional


Damn, you had to go and mention his name, I was enjoying the game fer christ sake..

[ThunderDan]

1-10-ATL 22 (14:54) S.Jackson left end to ATL 44 for 22 yards (T.Williams, M.Burnett).


0-0-GB 35 M.Crosby kicks 61 yards from GB 35 to ATL 4. J.Rodgers to ATL 22 for 18 yards (M.Jennings).

Damn that Packer rushing 'D' needs some work.

They have only had one bad run so far.

[pbmax]

No pass rush.

[gbgary]

geesh

[ThunderDan]

Nice tackle MD.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

All day to pass, and missed tackle again, score tied.

[woodbuck27]

Steam rolling >>> rolling ... rolling ... rolling.

[pbmax]

Burnett with loose coverage and Jennings with a unnecessary dive tackle attempt.

[TravisWilliams23]

Morgan Burnett have a solid year!

[Joemailman]

One safety late on coverage + other safety misses tackle = touchdown.

[woodbuck27]

M.Bryant extra point is GOOD, Center-J.Harris, Holder-M.Bosher.


3-3-GB 36 (11:10) (Shotgun) M.Ryan pass short middle to Dr.Davis for 36 yards, TOUCHDOWN.


2-2-GB 35 (11:51) J.Rodgers left guard to GB 36 for -1 yards (M.Daniels, C.Matthews).


1-10-GB 43 (12:22) (Shotgun) M.Ryan pass short middle to R.White to GB 35 for 8 yards (T.Williams).


3-1-GB 47 (12:58) (Shotgun) S.Jackson right end to GB 43 for 4 yards (B.Jones).


2-8-ATL 46 (13:40) M.Ryan pass short middle to P.DiMarco to GB 47 for 7 yards (M.Burnett).


1-10-ATL 44 (14:16) S.Jackson right tackle to ATL 46 for 2 yards (J.Jolly, B.Raji).


1-10-ATL 22 (14:54) S.Jackson left end to ATL 44 for 22 yards (T.Williams, M.Burnett).





0-0-GB 35 M.Crosby kicks 61 yards from GB 35 to ATL 4. J.Rodgers to ATL 22 for 18 yards (M.Jennings).

[woodbuck27]

OK >>> NEW GAME.

Someone get some smelling salts for the 'D'.

[ThunderDan]

One safety late on coverage + other safety misses tackle = touchdown.

Good thing they are the last line of defense.

[TravisWilliams23]

Opposing QB's must LOVE facing this D.

[woodbuck27]

TD Dr.Davis 36 yd. pass from M.Ryan (M.Bryant kick is good) Drive: 7 plays, 78 yards in 3:59

[pbmax]

OK. Just stick Perry in at ROLB on passing downs and see what happens. It can't be worse.

[woodbuck27]

M.Hyde

M.Bosher kicks 57 yards from ATL 35 to GB 8. M.Hyde to GB 23 for 15 yards (J.Massaquoi

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Was he even touched?

[pbmax]

They mis read a blitz, Lacy didn't see it fast enough and when he did he got hurt trying to block the LB

[gbgary]

hold them to 3 please.

[Rutnstrut]

Hey look at that, a Defense that works.

[Rutnstrut]

Brad jones is worthless.

[ThunderDan]

They mis read a blitz, Lacy didn't see it fast enough and when he did he got hurt trying to block the LB

I think he was upset that he missed the pickup.

[pbmax]

Jones helmet knocked it back into Hellings chest and arms

[woodbuck27]

Flynn SACKED AGAIN ! That isn't the worst of it !


-10-GB 23 (10:55) M.Flynn sacked at GB 15 for -8 yards (W.Moore). FUMBLES (W.Moore), and RECOVERED by ATL-M.Goodman at GB 13. M.Goodman to GB 13 for no gain (T.Lang).


0-0-ATL 35 M.Bosher kicks 57 yards from ATL 35 to GB 8. M.Hyde to GB 23 for 15 yards (J.Massaquoi).

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Nice catch, I remember when packers made catches like that....but I am old.

[gbgary]

ok...double roddy white.

[pbmax]

I think he was upset that he missed the pickup.

Flynn missed the read, Lacy was on a play fake but did not see him tip too late. He looked banged up to me.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Gee, who would have thought they'd throw to Tony G down there?

[Rutnstrut]

Boy this D sucks, why the fuck wouldn't they fire Capers TODAY?????

[channtheman]

This team is so depressing.

[ThunderDan]

Burnett bit on the play fake. Two TDs two coverage problems with Burnett.

[Fritz]

ok...double roddy white.

Excuse my language, but this defense

sucks
giant
donkey
cock.

[TravisWilliams23]

Morgan Burnett is having a SOLID year!

[woodbuck27]

Pretty easy for the Falcons:

Last Play - 08:48 Q2

T.Gonzalez

M.Ryan pass short right to T.Gonzalez for 2 yards, TOUCHDOWN

Atlanta 14 - Packers 7.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Gee, who would have thought they'd throw to Tony G down there?

And the sad part was the packer defender watched him release, and tried to react, like 1.5 hrs too late.

[Joemailman]

Gee, who would have thought they'd throw to Tony G down there?

Not Burnett.

[woodbuck27]

08:43..... remaining in the 1st half.

[pbmax]

Burnett bit on the play fake. Two TDs two coverage problems with Burnett.

That's the problem with being a bad defense or at least a defense playing bad. Players try to do too much. He was deep man on that side of field and he spent the entire play looking into the backfield not recognizing the danger of the HOF TE.

[TravisWilliams23]

Well, I hope we pick in April BEFORE these freakin' Falcon's. That'l show em for kicking our asses today!

[channtheman]

Morgan Burnett is having a SOLID year!

Yeah, I don't think being in for every play against the Lions is a good thing when the defense was so utter shit in that game.

[woodbuck27]

0-0-ATL 35 M.Bosher kicks 57 yards from ATL 35 to GB 8. M.Hyde to GB 38 for 30 yards (J.Massaquoi).

[Iron Mike]

Brad Jones is worthless.

Agreed. :(

[gbgary]

come on mm.

[woodbuck27]

Matt Ryan is sharp today.

[channtheman]

It appears we've given up on the running game already for some reason.

[ThunderDan]

Lacy is in.

[woodbuck27]

If it walks like a duck....

[woodbuck27]

No way>>>

MM doesn't go there...ohh he does...often.

[Rutnstrut]

Matt Ryan is sharp today.

Every fucking QB that faces this D looks sharp.

[ThunderDan]

Nice no call on the facemask. Not sure how the ref missed that one.

[pbmax]

Nice catch by Quarless.

O line getting next to nothing moving on the interior.

[pbmax]

Nice no call on the facemask. Not sure how the ref missed that one.

Who got one? I missed it.

[Rastak]

Lions up by 7......Vikings got one in the nether regions as they ruled a fumple long after the runner was down then upheld......I think the ref was watching a porn clip in the booth instead of the replay.

[ThunderDan]

It appears we've given up on the running game already for some reason.

Except this year.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Boykin wide open...

[Rutnstrut]

How come the Falcons defensive back ups look so good, oh because they aren't coached by Capers.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Starting to see why Flynn has not stuck with other teams...

[ThunderDan]

Who got one? I missed it.

Quarless was being face asked as he caught the ball.

[woodbuck27]

No way>>>

MM doesn't go there...ohh he does...often.

Eddie Lacy ...8 carries for 28 yards and 1 TD and a Long of 11 yards and MM goes back to him for 3 more yards ( now 31 yards rushing for Lacy)

[ThunderDan]

Quarless was being face asked as he caught the ball.

Lol. I love autocorrect. Facemask not face asked.

[gbgary]

Boykin wide open...

yes but mf was already being wrapped up.

[pbmax]

How come the Falcons defensive back ups look so good, oh because they aren't coached by Capers.

Because they are leaving WRs open each play and Flynn doesn't see them with his non-existent pocket sense.

[Fritz]

Flynn really does hang on to the ball too damn long.

And the defense sucks. Period.

Fire Capers

[Rutnstrut]

Because they are leaving WRs open each play and Flynn doesn't see them with his non-existent pocket sense.

Stop with the actual facts will you;)

[ThunderDan]

I got fat one jones for DaTone Jones earlier this year by autocorrect.

[woodbuck27]

Atlanta 14 - PACKERS 10

[TravisWilliams23]

Our OL doesn't give Flynn all day to FIND those open receivers like Matty Ice does.

[channtheman]

Yeah Flynn's pocket presence is bad. He either stands there like a fool, or gets happy feet and runs when he just needs to slide over a foot. I suppose these are things you hone the more you play, though, so whatever. But yeah, he's bad.

[gbgary]

det leading phi...8-0

[ThunderDan]

Second bad run for the D.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

is anybody holding the edge?

[pbmax]

Our OL doesn't give Flynn all day to FIND those open receivers like Matty Ice does.

This is true but twice he has drifted left twice right into pressure with no need to do so.

[woodbuck27]

Stephen Jackson is out there DEFENSE !

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

I got fat one jones for DaTone Jones earlier this year by autocorrect.

Funny, I get 'Packers stink' for just about anything I try to text, autocorrect is really good.

[pbmax]

is anybody holding the edge?

Perry really lost contain there. Walden like.


Also Jones has now been in on three passes to his guy and the only one caught bounced off his helmet back into the receivers hands. He can cover. Run D is something else.

[woodbuck27]

is anybody holding the edge?

Edge...??

You'll have to explain that to the Packer DC.

[Rutnstrut]

By not firing Capers immediately all they are doing is showing all others on this team (players and coaches) that it's ok to under perform. There is no fire on this team, coaching staff, players, front office, are all flat and heartless. I can handle a team that is just plain bad, I can't stand a team that has absolutely no heart.

[pbmax]

Perry with pressure. Give him some snaps at ROLB Kevin!

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Nice play by Perry...

[woodbuck27]

Stephen Jackson...9 carries for 55 Yards and a long of 22 yards.

He loves our rushing 'D'.

[Fritz]

Nick Perry, baby!

[woodbuck27]

Perry with pressure. Give him some snaps at ROLB Kevin!

Yes !

[pbmax]

Did anyone else see Bach warming up his nuts on the sideline with the torpedo heater? :lol:

[gbgary]

kc killing was. 31-0. goodbye shanny.

[ThunderDan]

Stephen Jackson...9 carries for 55 Yards and a long of 22 yards.

He loves our rushing 'D'.

2 for 39 ish and
7 for 16

Two breakdowns on backside contain.

[pbmax]

Flynn has really regressed or the Falcons have been playing prevent all first half.

[woodbuck27]

Like a Captain on a sinking ship:

8 of 10 still surviving the Pro Pickem backed the Packers with their CP's.

Good stuff ! :grin:

Two were maybe? ....logical and one didn't get his picks in for some reason.

[gbgary]

Peterson went off on a cart in min bal game. ouch!

[Rastak]

Peterson went off on a cart in min bal game. ouch!


Looks like he may have torn up his ankle.

[pbmax]

pbmax's first half scouting report. Falcon's fake blitz look EVERY passing down. Never blitz. Play bail coverage.

[gbgary]

why did bostick run oob?

[woodbuck27]

2 for 39 ish and
7 for 16

Two breakdowns on backside contain.

I'm not getting this game on TV... rather I'm watching NFL.Com ThunderDan...What happened to you and the Pro Pickem?

I hate to se anyone miss his/her picks.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Flynn tackled a ref!!!

[woodbuck27]

OK this is looking...OK.

Fingers crossed...when I'm not typing.

[woodbuck27]

BIG Third DOWN !

3-7-GB 48 (1:02) (No Huddle, Shotgun) M.Flynn left end to GB 48 for no gain.

What was that !??

[gbgary]

wtf

[TravisWilliams23]

That announcer is a moron. Why is the clock stopped??? Duh

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

OK this is looking...OK.

Fingers crossed...when I'm not typing.

Uncross your fingers...

[pbmax]

pbmax's first half scouting report. Falcon's fake blitz look EVERY passing down. Never blitz. Play bail coverage.

And the they blitz 5 twice on this drive.

[channtheman]

That shit is fucking impossible.

[pbmax]

And that is the Packers' season in a nutshell. Deflected off his foot.

[ThunderDan]

That shit is fucking impossible.

Pack season in a nutshell.

[Fritz]

Fucking Keystone Kops bullshit.

This team sucks. Sucks.

[channtheman]

And no one can make the tackle.

[ThunderDan]

Is that a kick?

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Why would that packer kick the ball into Atlanta's defender hands?

[denverYooper]

I'd say that was unbelievable, but not this year.

[channtheman]

I was screaming for us to call a timeout. Regroup, have 45 seconds. This shit is so fucking annoying.

[ThunderDan]

Why so much time on the review.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The Atlanta defense looks absolutely horrible, despite the score. If the Packers offense can just put a few plays in a row together, they will come back in this game.

[gbgary]

snake bit this season.

[pbmax]

Why would that packer kick the ball into Atlanta's defender hands?

Was a Falcon LB who kicked it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Is that a kick?

I believe it was a quick kick that fell far short.

[gbgary]

2 gift tds on turnovers.

[ThunderDan]

Why would that packer kick the ball into Atlanta's defender hands?

A Packer didn't touch the ball after the pass.

[Rutnstrut]

This team sucks, had Flynn slowed down a bit there by calling a TO that would never happen.

[pbmax]

Packers have had four balls batted into the air on defense and 3 hit the ground. One was batted BACK to the receiver.

[channtheman]

The Atlanta defense looks absolutely horrible, despite the score. If the Packers offense can just put a few plays in a row together, they will come back in this game.

I'd love to believe we can come back in this game, but it doesn't look good.

[woodbuck27]

BIG Third DOWN !

3-7-GB 48 (1:02) (No Huddle, Shotgun) M.Flynn left end to GB 48 for no gain.

What was that !??


Holy rotten mackerel !

Atlanta 21 - Packers 10

[pbmax]

Yes, timeouts prevent double deflections.

[Rutnstrut]

The Atlanta defense looks absolutely horrible, despite the score. If the Packers offense can just put a few plays in a row together, they will come back in this game.

Where do you people get your drugs?

[Badgerinmaine]

Anyone think we'll see Tolzein playing in the second half?

[woodbuck27]

OK Mike McCarthy >>>>>>>BOOT Matt Flynn and >>> GO TO >>>

T O L Z I E N !

[Harlan Huckleby]

Fucking Keystone Kops bullshit.

This team sucks. Sucks.

which team? Atlanta is a good match.

[Rutnstrut]

Yes, timeouts prevent double deflections.

No, I meant the play was rushed and poorly executed.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Where do you people get your drugs?

I use high school kids.

[Rastak]

Anyone think we'll see Tolzein playing in the second half?


Has been benchworthy bad? I'm not watching the game but his numbers don't look aweful.

[Badgerinmaine]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo

[pbmax]

How does putting Tolzien in help you win? If they do it its for evaluation only.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Anyone think we'll see Tolzein playing in the second half?

camera showed him playing a little pocket pool

[TravisWilliams23]

Keystone Kops for sure!

[Teamcheez1]

I'm focused on next year's draft already. The hell with this season, it's long over.

[pbmax]

Has been benchworthy bad? I'm not watching the game but his numbers don't look aweful.

He just can't make a play. Has a couple nice throws but a lot of drifting in pocket and ending up with sacks. Most throws short. Not efficient enough to make that work.

[Harlan Huckleby]

How does putting Tolzien in help you win? If they do it its for evaluation only.

Tolzien is better. But that said, I think Flynn has been OK

[woodbuck27]

Anyone think we'll see Tolzein playing in the second half?

Isn't that the logical move?

[Badgerinmaine]

Has been benchworthy bad? I'm not watching the game but his numbers don't look aweful.
Well, they're not awe-some, either. Last week was ugly, too--but his receivers aren't helping him much, either.

[woodbuck27]

Tolzien is better. But that said, I think Flynn has been OK

Did Flynn forget his rabbit's foot ?

Forget his Irish Luck?

[Freak Out]

Bad luck just keeps coming GBs way. That was a strange play for sure....GB needs those bounces!

[ThunderDan]

How does putting Tolzien in help you win? If they do it its for evaluation only.

Flynn looks ok just holding the ball too long.

It has been the two TO that have killed us. Otherwise it's 10-7 at half.

[Harlan Huckleby]

He just can't make a play. Has a couple nice throws but a lot of drifting in pocket and ending up with sacks. Most throws short. Not efficient enough to make that work.

Ya, but you got a puncher's chance with Tolzien.

Flynn has been pretty accurate, tho.

[woodbuck27]

He just can't make a play. Has a couple nice throws but a lot of drifting in pocket and ending up with sacks. Most throws short. Not efficient enough to make that work.

His arm is shot. Matt Flynn's arm is inferior to Scott Tolzien's arm.

MM has to make a switch in the dressing room...ASAP that has to be done.

[Rastak]

Lions at halftime up by 8 in the snow laden field.

[pbmax]

Tolzien is better. But that said, I think Flynn has been OK


Isn't that the logical move?

No. I don't think Tolzien is better. Remember when he had six tipped passes and was replaced by Flynn for being ineffective?

He is still that guy.

[Badgerinmaine]

Any word on whether Lacy's seriously hurt or not?

[pbmax]

His arm is shot. Matt Flynn's arm is inferior to Scott Tolzien's arm.

MM has to make a switch in the dressing room...ASAP that has to be done.

Flynn REPLACED Tolzien because Tolzien was ineffective with a healthy arm, remember?

[Joemailman]

Flynn has been pretty accurate, tho.

Yep. How many people could have hit that guy's foot like that?

[ThunderDan]

Flynn would have us in the lead if not for getting blindsided and a double deflection.

[pbmax]

Any word on whether Lacy's seriously hurt or not?

He was still out there after the failed blitz pickup hit.

[woodbuck27]

Flynn looks ok just holding the ball too long.

It has been the two TO that have killed us. Otherwise it's 10-7 at half.

Well maybe ..... Pack 13 - Falcons 7.

Packers 17 - Falcons 7 might be a stretch !?

[Badgerinmaine]

Lions at halftime up by 8 in the snow laden field.
That's the FOX game that's being showed here and I was watching some of it--fun to see the heavy snow. Detroit went for two--I think that was a smart move with how hard it will be to score, and to kick, there today. I have to say I can't remember the last time I saw an NFL team go for two in the first half. It's some of the heaviest snow I have ever seen in an NFL game.

[TravisWilliams23]

I'm hoping for Det vs Phila weather conditions for this years super bowl. Kinda like the 60's Packer championship games!

[woodbuck27]

GREEN BAY PACKERS

Passing CP/AT YDS TD INT

M. Flynn 14/20 127 0 1

J. Jones 3 14 0 8

[Joemailman]

Flynn would have us in the lead if not for getting blindsided and a double deflection.

I think the blindside was his fault though. He either has to change the call so Lacy is in a position to protect, or he has to get rid of the ball quickly. The INT was just tough luck.

[channtheman]

This Packer team will find ways to lose every single game until they cannot make the playoffs, then they will win out.

[Rutnstrut]

He was still out there after the failed blitz pickup hit.

Right as they were going in at HT Lacy was limping SLOWLY off the field, I think he got hurt on the very last play.

[Iron Mike]

I have a hard time believing that someone on the coaching will NOT lose a job after this game. That OL is just a sieve.

[woodbuck27]

Minny lost AP >>> He had to leave the game >>> maybe it was bad ??

[gbgary]

He was still out there after the failed blitz pickup hit.
he limped off the field at ht.

[Rutnstrut]

I have a hard time believing that someone on the coaching will NOT lose a job after this game. That OL is just a sieve.


Nah, they'll just blame the poor OL play on the guys being banged up. Don't you know that there is no accountability in GB, you just play the injury card.

[Rastak]

Minny lost AP >>> He had to leave the game >>> maybe it was bad ??


Didn't look good - ankle twisted under a defender during a tackle.

[Badgerinmaine]

I'm hoping for Det vs Phila weather conditions for this years super bowl. Kinda like the 60's Packer championship games!
A little--but those games were mostly just really cold or windy (1961, 1962, 1966 title games), really muddy (1965, when I think it had been raining), or just sort of an ordinary winter day (1960 in Philly) Only the '65 game had any snow at all, I think. Today's game in Philly is unbelievably snowy. The Packers game it reminds me of is the one about 30 years ago when they played Tampa Bay in a snowstorm at Lambeau when the Bucs were still in our division.

[woodbuck27]

Lions 8 - Eagles ... a goose egg so far.

[woodbuck27]

Didn't look good - ankle twisted under a defender during a tackle.

I hate that stuff Rastak. He's such a competitor ... a super talent.

[channtheman]

Per the Fox stat sheet, the Packers have 7 points off 0 Falcon turnovers. Not sure how we managed that.

[Rutnstrut]

The conditions of the Philly- Detroit game kind of remind me of the Bills playoff game back in the 90's when Lofton was there.

[woodbuck27]

he limped off the field at ht.


CRAP !
