Official Packers Falcons Game Day Thread

[ThunderDan]

Not sure I understand going for the 2. Only up 6, 4 if you miss, 5 with PAT?

FG to win if ATL scores a TD. No way to get up 3 for ATL.

[pbmax]

If Packers miss 2 pointer, its 4 point lead. If Falcons get TD, almost no chance they go for 2. FG ties it for Packers.

[KYPack]

Should we call TO now, Yeti?

[ThunderDan]

It would be great to get a turnover.

[gbgary]

need an int!

[pbmax]

Old school zone blitz.

[ThunderDan]

Dang it, so close.

[ThunderDan]

Good tackle by Gunter there.

[Harlan Huckleby]

atlanta making it look easy

[pbmax]

Oh boy. Gunter has been a real gamer today.

[ThunderDan]

Great Our 5th string CB at the beginning of the year is out.

[red]

fuck this game, i just found the trailer park boys have a new season on netflix

[Cheesehead Craig]

That's too soft of a zone

[pbmax]

fuck this game, i just found the trailer park boys have a new season on netflix

Stick around you damn fool!

[ThunderDan]

Come on D. Big stop here!

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think packers should be calling TOs. They are the ones who might need more time - Atlanta has plenty.

[Maxie the Taxi]

You've got to rush more than four, especially when you can't cover the underneath guys anyway. Get Ryan to throw one up for grabs or fumble.

[gbgary]

I guess he went for 2 in case atl get a td.

[pbmax]

I think packers should be calling TOs. They are the ones who might need more time - Atlanta has plenty.

Closer to one minute remaining or with go to goal.

[red]

Stick around you damn fool!

no way, i'm gonna get drunk and high as fuck and watch the boys take on Europe

[pbmax]

Nearly had it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Atlanta is eating up all the clock.

[ThunderDan]

It's like Jaguar game week 1.

[pbmax]

C'mon Perry.

[ThunderDan]

No we need Time outs.

[Harlan Huckleby]

dumb stubby - let Atlanta roll clock down to 32 seconds.

[pbmax]

Son of a gun.

[Harlan Huckleby]

No we need Time outs.

you use your timeouts when other team has ball and is killing clock

[pbmax]

How does Ryan not get deep there?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Ryan can't cover him. Bad defensive scheme

[pbmax]

Does Atlanta kick it short?

[Teamcheez1]

No surprise this team looks like they will lose. They're not going anywhere this year as it stands.

[beveaux1]

I hope they scored too soon.

[Rastak]

Does Atlanta kick it short?


Out of the end zone.

[gbgary]

why did they have two guys on a hurt julio jones?

[Rastak]

why did they have two guys on a hurt julio jones?


I think that's why they left Jones in.

[pbmax]

Out of the end zone.

Only need 37 yards then.

[ThunderDan]

Same as first half. Should have called timeout on 2nd down.

[Rastak]

Only need 37 yards then.


Too risky on the KR.

[pbmax]

Janis missed a signal.

[pittstang5]

God We Suck

[pbmax]

Janis missed a signal.

Or maybe signal was to clear out route.

[ThunderDan]

Darn it , time out lost on injury.

[pittstang5]

Why can't the defense come up when we need them.

[pbmax]

He was open. Throw was late.

[red]

jordy injury cost us a timeout even though he got right off the field

[pittstang5]

On to Indy! FUCK! We had this game!! FUCK!!!!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Shit

[Teamcheez1]

Nothing to get really excited about with this team. Same problems 8 weeks into the season that will not be fixed.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Atlanta outplayed them in 2nd halff.

[red]

blah

[Rastak]

I swear I'm not trolling but that look by Rodgers was very Cutler-esk.

[pittstang5]

This one really hurts!! We fuckin had them!!!

[gbgary]

oh well. didn't expect a win today. they played great though.

[yetisnowman]

Couple of shitty throws when it matters most. Classic

[Teamcheez1]

This one really hurts!! We fuckin had them!!!

We scored one TD in the second half, and our defense couldn't get the stop when we needed it.

We had nothing.

[Rastak]

oh well. didn't expect a win today. they played great though.


They did actually. I'm not feeling too comfortable with how GB is playing.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Saving grace, Rodgers was my fantasy QB. Would have preferred a win.

[beveaux1]

I think our problem this game was the defense. Offense played pretty well.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Ryan can't cover him. Bad defensive schemeExactly. Ryan is trying in vane to cover Sanu. We should have had more blitzers and hurried the damn pass!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Couple of shitty throws when it matters most. Classic

I'd say the defense disappearing on last drive was the big fail.

Offense got a lousy 30 seconds to drive into field goal range - not a great chance.

I still say Stubby was stupid to let Atlanta drain the clock. They coulda shoulda had > minute

[Teamcheez1]

I think our problem this game was the defense. Offense played pretty well.

Against arguable the worst defense the NFL, we put up one TD in the second half.

You can say we played well for one half, which is the way it has been all season.

[yetisnowman]

Just a friendly reminder....we could have had enough time to get a td before half-time if MM gets his head out of his ass. That said I was impressed by the resolve on offense. Poor fundamentals in defense killed us.

[Rutnstrut]

Yup, it's good to see the old Rodgers back. The stat padding choke artist.

Abby would have been the difference maker today.

The defense didn't help for sure. BUT, as usual Rodgers choked when the pressure was on.

The defense did fail at the end of the game, but don't let the offense off the hook for their performance in the second half either.

[gbgary]

why did they have two guys on a hurt julio jones?

[gbgary]

just so they make the playoffs and everyone's healthy then.

[pbmax]

why did they have two guys on a hurt julio jones?

How hurt was he? They have a safety over the top, he wasn't covered by two guys on the line.

At what point do you pull that help? Packers kept almost everything to him short. Which is a win in my book.

[Pugger]

God We Suck

I disagree.

[Pugger]

Are you suggesting Rodgers was the reason we lost??? Seriously?? :roll:

[KYPack]

Pugger, the only real man in the game thread.

[Rutnstrut]

I'm saying he was a big reason they didn't pull out a win on that last series.

[Pugger]

I'm saying he was a big reason they didn't pull out a win on that last series.

You expected him to pull out yet another Hail Mary seeing we only had 30 seconds and 3 TOs? :lol:

If it wasn't for Rodgers' play today we would have blown out.

[yetisnowman]

A-Rod played great. Still he had 30 seconds 2 timeouts, missed key throws late. It is what it is.

[Smidgeon]

What did you expect on the final drive with the top 4 CBs out?

[channtheman]

Watched the game after the fact. I'm mostly pissed as I had a really great opening post planned for the next game. Oh well. Janis almost pulled it out for us.

[ThunderDan]

Yup, when your QB completes almost 75% of his passes throws for 240+ and 4 TDs and on top of that scrambles for another 60 yards and a 2 point conversion and gets you a come from behind 6 point lead with under 4 minutes left it definitely was his fault and he is a stat padding choke artist.
:bang:
Let's put this loss where it belongs, squarely on the D who was playing without their top 3 corners against 1 of the best passing attacks in the league.

[Teamcheez1]

It's fair to put the loss on the defense in this game. Scoring 32 points should be enough to win a game. Rodgers may be the only reason we were in this game when you look at all the injuries.

I decided to look a little deeper into the stats Rodgers had in each half.

It looks like he had around 175 yards passing and 26 yards rushing in the first half. That means he produced about 75 yards passing and 34 yards rushing in the second half. Those are pretty weak stats for your MVP QB, and also points to the offense not doing their job in the second half. There is a lot of blame to share on both sides of the ball for the entire second half.

[gbgary]

he didn't do anything after he twisted his ankle. on the sanu td there was a cb and safety on jones. no reason for that. he couldn't run. the safety should have stayed in a position to defend the pass to sanu. the d gets most of the blame for the loss but considering their situation i'm not that upset. like i said, i didn't expect a win here. the Pack just need to make the playoffs and get healthy in time to do something if they get in.

I get what you are saying, but that is a helluva call on the best WR in the game based on how you think he is feeling.

Its the fourth string CB you are pulling coverage on, after that had been the entire game plan. They were caught in a Catch 22, to devote more resources to Jones means that resources must be pulled form the front to guard the middle of the field. And when you do that, you cannot blitz to generate pressure.

goodson had pretty much shut him down from the moment jones hurt himself. just noticed from twitter that ryan said sanu wasn't his responsibility so there must have been a missed assignment.

I'd believe that, there was no one deep in middle. Burnett got caught up the field once before earlier in the game. Same play we all thought Dix was late for, but he had to come from the other side of the field.
