Tevin Coleman is supposedly out with a hammy. That could be big because he could expose GB out of the backfield catching it. Assuming they can contain Freeman running with it (I think they can. He's averaging 72 yds./game), Julio is their whole passing attack without Coleman. Sanu hasn't done much at all to this point.

Their offensive line is average at best. Ryan's been sacked 18 times already - 3rd most in the league. If the pass rush can get to Ryan, they can semi-contain Jones, and the offense can put up some points against their weak secondary, I think this is a winnable game. It seems to me like a much more favorable matchup than Minnesota and Dallas anyway.

Put Gunter in press coverage on Julio with Brice's speed and physicality over the top - and get after Matty Ice. Don't turn it over for a change and I think they'll be right in this game.

If they can't somewhat contain Julio, pressure Ryan and/or fumble in the red zone - it could be a long day.

It's getting worse. I just seen on Packers News on FB that Abbrederis is going on IR. Supposedly they are promoting Allison from the PS.

This is a change with little to no impact because Abbrederis has had no impact so far.

It smells to me like that's why the change has been made. I'd say it's pretty unusual for a guy to go on IR with a thigh bruise.

Both he and Banjo probably can come back this year. But they needed the spots now.

Packers need reinforcements at RB, CB and TE, not WR and S. Thompson replaced Abberderis and Banjo with another WR and another S.

The DB they brought up worked as a slot corner in camp. Not sure why 6 WRs, even after counting Monty as RB, is the new standard.

They signed new RB Davis and brought Jackson up from PS. That's two traditional plus Monty and Cobb.

Cook is still on roster, out of his boot, and probably back in next couple of weeks.

It's tough to sacrifice roster spots to add new guys with Randall, Cook, Starks - none of whom are special teamers - slated to return yet. I think Allison's been promoted for situational value, replacing just about the last guy on the roster with limited game day value. Evans is up for special teams replacements.

Who would you cut (and probably lose to another team) to add yet another RB, CB, or TE as temporary add? The only other guy to sacrifice would be Murphy. It's pretty clear they have future hopes for him or he'd have been cut already and stashed on the PS because he hasn't been active yet and probably won't be APRH.

I wondered whether Peanut Tillman would have anything in the tank but do you really want to cut Hawkins loose forever to pull a 39-year-old temporary band-aid out of retirement who'd probably take until Randall returns to ramp up anyway? Obviously Ted doesn't and I don't think his motivation is real mysterious.

He pulled a rabbit out of his hat with Green back in 2010 but d-line and RB are probably about the only two spots that can realistically happen. He already grabbed Knile Davis there. Not sure about Don Jackson's hand but if he can return quickly I think he shows the natural running back agility and burst that Davis' straight line power game doesn't have, and while I like what Montgomery's showing, he hasn't yet shown the ability to run inside. Those three guys each bring something a little different, and together they probably cover RB needs pretty well - at least until Starks returns anyway.

None of them are the every-down workhorse that Lacy can be but that guy isn't out there on the scrap heap to be had as far as I can see.

Hyde and Burnett also play the "slot" corner. But just cos they line up at corner don't make them good corners. The two can't cover, yet Capers not only keeps playing them at corner, he also puts them in man coverage at tons a game. Pretty sure Pro Football Focus ranks these two at or near the bottom of their DB rankings. Pretty confident.

Point is, Thompson has gotta sign a true corner. There ain't many shutdown corners on the streets of Baltimore, but a so-so corner who sucks less than what the Packers currently have playing would do wonders. Cro, Trumaine McBride, Tarell Brown, Javier Arenas, Cortez Allen, Ras-I Dowling, to name a few gangstas currently available.

Regarding TE, Richard Rodgers is more fruitless than an apple tree on the North Pole. Belichick has Gronk but still traded for Bennett. With D-Rod, it's like the Packers O is operating on Windows 95. An upgrade is needed.

You gotta catch up and get real Tank. You're living in the past man. Bennett's not available week 7 for a two-week fix. Ted signed Cook to be that guy remember?

As far as CB goes, I'm not taking any of those guys mid-season so they can get ramped up just in time for Randall to return - and losing Hawkins permanently as a result.

And I'm not a huge Hyde fan but bringing a guy off the street mid-season to replace him for three weeks would be idiotic.

My points were, having 2 good TEs on your roster is not a bad idea. And D-Rod sucks; Pack def need an upgrade.

Hawkins? Last time I saw him play, he was left in the dust by a so-so receiver named Marvin Jones. Hawkins belongs on the PS, not active roster. Ted should sign Cro for the rest of the season, which would allow Capers to quit playing Hyde at corner. There oughta be a law outlawing Hyde from playing corner.

Yeah Hawkins isn't ready but I think there's enough there to hang on to for the future. He has what you can't coach and looks to me like he has the ability to get coached up.

I know Cromartie used to be a decent cover guy but he was always excessively shy about contact as I recall. And if you're getting cut in-season in favor of Rashan Melvin for the last spot, by the Colts no less, that aint good.

One good thing about the upcoming game is their pass defense blows so hopefully we can keep up and pull out a win up there.

Which of course means that the Falcons pass D will have a superb game.

When was the last time an opponent completely laid an egg against GB? I know that teams always try to bring their best game, but even the scrub teams seem to play well against GB.

Except the Bears. But their QB had to break an arm first. He was trying to break a leg...

Ignoring any opinion about the actual relative impact the Bear offensive QB situation, the Bear defense and the Packer offense had on the Packer offense's ability to move the ball - here are the teams that the Packers offense has exposed for pretty big production in the last year-long period of offensive challenges that started last year in Denver (Week 7).

The Packers offense gained over 400 yds. four times since the Denver debacle - twice last year against #6 D Carolina (402 yds. Loss, Week 8) and #17 Dallas (435 yds. Win, Week 13), and twice more so far this year against the #19 D Giants (406, Win, Week 4) and the #12 D Bears (406. Win, Week 6). Yes the Bears currently have the #12 ranked overall defense.

They were pretty much completely futile twice last year against the league’s best defense in Denver (140 yds., Loss, Week 7) and #5 D Arizona (178 yds., Loss, Week 15).

The worst game this year in terms of moving the ball was also the league’s #1 D Minnesota (263 yds., Loss, Week 2).

All other games in the last year they've gained 300 – 400 yards – against #9 D Jacksonville, #25 Detroit and #17 Dallas this year. Last year they gained 300-400 yards against #13 Minnesota, #24 Jacksonville, #18 Detroit and #14 Chicago.

With a couple exceptions where they moved it well against top 10 defenses (You might say those defenses laid an egg.) the Packers have pretty much moved it well against decent, average and below defenses – while shitting the bed against elite (top 5 or better) defenses - big-time last year but not so much this year.

Atlanta’s defense is currently ranked THE WORST of all of the last 16 regular season opponents over the last year post-Denver at #26 overall YTD, giving up 386 yds. and more than 28 pts a game.

The Packers have had well-documented issues scoring points in the red zone, but they've moved the ball into the red zone really well overall. I can’t see any reason why they shouldn’t be able to do so against the worst defense of all of them in Atlanta.

Now they have to figure out how to start punching it in with some consistency. It’s possible they could get outscored this week, but it figures to be the best opportunity in the last 16 games to start establishing some of that consistency moving forward.

I finally got to see the entire game on YouTube this morning and Phil Simms is right - AR's fine (he missed on a couple of throws but it shows he's human) but our WRs have issues getting open against man coverage. The announcers pointed out that even when given extra time by our O line AR still has trouble finding people open. Ty, Cobb and Adams had a nice game in the second half. We're gonna need more of this if we want to get a win in Atlanta on Sunday.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the Packers are 16th in League scoring on offense. But they are third in the League in red zone trips.

If they figure out the red zone (a big IF) and convert more TDs, they easily move into the top ten in scoring.

The over-the-air broadcasts tend to be ahead of the TV, and are therefore useless unless you are a glutton for punishment.

Streaming radio tends to be 5 or slightly more seconds behind the TV, and that works out pretty well, since the analysis is what you want.

The WTMJ streaming website sometimes is overwhelmed during games.

I have a top secret alternate link that works in my ServeStream app. You, and only you, may use it.

They had a Packer Game Rally tonight in Atlanta QBME. Any chance you got to see it?

Did not hear about it. We're staying about 10 minute walk from the dome and it's crazy. Second night of Adele concert at the Phillips Center, national marching band competition, just nuts.

About half the plane down this morning was Packer folks.
Will send some pics tomorrow

our shitty offense just got way shittier

cobb will not play today because of a hamstring injury (thats original)

and Ty, our new running back, is questionable with some illness he picked up this week.

I don't want anyone to lose their fear of this game, but on a neutral site, the Packers are the Vegas favorite in this game (Falcons -2.5 in the dome).

Five Thirty Eight has the game at -1.5 for the Dirty Birds, with the Packers rated above Matty Ice in Elo, 1572 to 1547.

Top 3 CB's out, no RB's, Cobb now out, the offense sputtering, and on the road.

There is no way I would bet on the Packers. In fact, this smells like a blowout by the Falcons.

Wilde writes that Lacy might be back by late December. Anyone know when or where that info was reported?

You are going to see them anyway because that is one of the two routes Janis knows. Just hope the ILB is not in his way.

Calvin Pryor, the cure for the common pass offense.

I would boast more, but a lot of long passes have gone right by Ha-Ha while he was deep safety.

so a-rod has jordy (not back to 100%), adams (ready to make up for his big game last week), and some young guys that anton "doesn't have confidence in"

no running game at all

so, do we just take a knee every play and see what the D can do for us? thats pretty much how we've played all year anyways

Tanner McEvoy just threw a 40+ yd pass completion for the Seahawks on a trick play (McEvoy was playing WR, took a backwards pass from QB). Last week McEvoy made a game saving block of kick. He's also a demon on special teams. Big mistake not signing that guy to a contract as a FA. I would have drafted him.

Ya, I had boner for McEvoy watching him play for the Badgers. He was an amazing open field runner, and a guy that tall who excels at safety is a freak. If the Badgers had committed to developing him as a WR, his natural position, he would have been a high draft pick.

I get the impression that HaHa still feels like he's in college, playing with his jersey halfway up his torso.

In all honesty, I'll be surprised if HHCD reups with the Packers. I have nothing to go on, but I think he'll bolt for a more glamorous town as soon as he can. Maybe it's the Eddie Murphy in him...

The over-the-air broadcasts tend to be ahead of the TV, and are therefore useless unless you are a glutton for punishment.

Streaming radio tends to be 5 or slightly more seconds behind the TV, and that works out pretty well, since the analysis is what you want.

The WTMJ streaming website sometimes is overwhelmed during games.

I have a top secret alternate link that works in my ServeStream app. You, and only you, may use it.

I went with WTMJ, they were about 30 seconds behind TV.
