The Official Packer - Falcon Gameday Thread Act 2

[ThunderDan]

ARod is a man among boys right now. I have never seen this level of play from a QB over as long a time. He guaranteed 6 wins to finish the season and now has started a 4 game playoff run.

ATL got the easy track for the NFL playoffs. They had a bye week and then they got the Jekyll and Hyde Seachickens at home. ATL like DAL is already counting the days until the Super Bowl over looking the lowly 4 seed Packers.

In a game eerily like last week, the Packers jump out quickly on the Falcons and get a nice lead. Then the D hangs on as best they can to finish the game.

Packers win 38-34.

[ThunderDan]

Not sure why that happened.

[ThunderDan]

Woo! ThunderDan, bring it home 2 more weeks. Rodgers gets props for his play, but I've never seen a threadstarter with so much continuous success as you. Very impressive!

[Joemailman]

Don't know what to make of this game. How many of the walking wounded will play? Of those that do, will they be healthy enough to be effective? Still, this team has a mental toughness that's hard to beat.

Same as last week.

Time to find some other hobbies for Sunday's rats; our season ends today.

Dom had been on borrowed time trying to keep this defense above water for weeks and he's done a great job finding a way. Today the ship sinks.

Atlanta averages a lot of pts a home an we don't have a drafted player at CB today.

Everything needs to be perfect for our win today; it's time to cherish what we had but reality kicks us in the nuts today.

Atlanta 44
GB 38

The solutions lies within our organization to push us over the top.

Melvanize Ted Thompson; hire Eliot Wolf !

Jordy with the winning TD

[pbmax]

All the questionable receivers plus Burnett are game time decisions, as yesterday's work ruled none of them out. Yesterday is not trivial in Green Bay, as unlike a lot of teams, Packers do more than a walkthrough on the day before a game.

http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2017/01/21/packers-injured-ready-give-try/96886328/

[pbmax]

Burnett and Nelson were the only ones who were listed in the Friday injury report as "limited," which means had the Packers practiced they would have done something. Thus, it's likely Burnett is ahead of the others and a pretty good bet to play.

I actually think this is wrong, http://packerrats.com/showthread.php?29483-Official-Packers-vs-Falcons-NFC-Title-Game-Discussion-Thread&p=918088&viewfull=1#post918088

as Burnett was the only one listed as Limited. Which is good news for Burnett, as the article states.

[pbmax]

2:05 kickoff. What timezone is this game being played in?

[alquaal]

I have spent quite a bit of time meditating on this game. I am going to ignore all the pesky logic my brain is spewing and go with my gut. The defense steps up.

Packers-34
Falcons-24

[Tony Oday]

Matt Ryan is playing just as good as AR, has more weapons and a defense that will get in the way long enough to stop 3 drives. Packers lose 28-42.

[Fritz]

Tony and I see it coming.

[Bossman641]

Randall pulls a tramon and returns a pick 6. Packers win 37-34. The bandwagon moves onto Houston high on confidence but low on fan life expectancy after the past 2 games.

[esoxx]

Until blood testing is implemented in the NFL, we have the biggest edge at the most important position in sports.

Packers 38
Falcons 35

[gbgary]

the injuries might have finally caught up with our guys. could be a game where the team with the ball last wins like last week. if so hopefully it's the Packers.

backs against the wall...again. GO PACK!

[Rutnstrut]

I really don't want the season to end. But even healthy I don't think the Packer D can stop Atlanta the way they are playing now.

[Joemailman]

The key is Randall. He's so up and down. When he plays well, this defense is decent. When he's looking around wondering where the Safety help was, they struggle big time.

[pbmax]

Until blood testing is implemented in the NFL, we have the biggest edge at the most important position in sports.

Packers led by the T1000 win.

If Jordy was a liquid metal terminator, we could stop worrying about those ribs. Just melt and heal.

Last time they played the #Falcons, Trevor Davis and Jeff Janis stepped up and contributed for the #Packers. May need that again.

[Rutnstrut]

They just showed Michael doing a standing backflip in front of coaches as if to say, see I'm good. This was on the NFL network pregame, I can't watch the first hour of the fox pregame with all the idiots on it.

So there is wiggle room for one, maybe two WR to be limited. Boy, if Rollins can go that will help solidify the slot/dime defense. Let Hyde play wherever Dom wants him.

Michael healthy makes RB situation much more relaxed.

[pbmax]

McCaffrey the player they called up from the ps this week?

Elliot is dressing? I like that news!

Big for Special Teams and pass rush relief. Haven't seen much of Holy Fackrell.

[Rutnstrut]

"Michael healthy makes RB situation much more relaxed."

IF stubby will use him.

[yetisnowman]

I feel like we can this game. Same plan. Get a key turnover and a stop or two. Play efficient offense. Win.

[pbmax]

"Michael healthy makes RB situation much more relaxed."

IF stubby will use him.

Even if he doesn't use him much, while not my preferred plan, he has a full time RB option.

[Rutnstrut]

Even if he doesn't use him much, while not my preferred plan, he has a full time RB option.

He didn't use him at all last week did he?

[Maxie the Taxi]

The run continues as both offense and defense get in on the act.

Ty Montgomery leads the offense with 3 TD's: one rushing, one receiving and one on a kickoff return.
Kyler Fackrell has a breakout game. Joe Thomas has an interception and a forced fumble. Claymaker has three sacks.

Packers win 27-7!

[esoxx]

Are you suggesting Rodgers is a cyborg?

I'm not suggesting, I'm saying. Borg Rodgers is inhuman.

Think about it. Strangely detached from family. Didn't attend grandfathers funeral. Why would he? He's not of this planet. He is not human. The whole "family" thing is a front.

His cyborg overlords created him with a timing device to shred the NFL and collect Super Bowl titles. 2010, 2016, 2017, & 2018 were programmed for ultimate glory. Just watch.

Okay, where's sharpcheddar :lol:

[pbmax]

So the girlfriend is not the beard, the whole family is. Got it.

Would love to win two titles this decade so we can argue with the rest of the planet about 3 titles in a decade dynasty. And yes, that argument would be ALL about when the decade starts.

At the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, 75 percent of the bets and 71 percent of the money wagered on the NFC Championship Game is on the underdog Green Bay Packers. The host Atlanta Falcons are 6-point favorites.

[yetisnowman]

Is Jordy going to be able to maneuver well enough to create any separation and be a factor today?

[ThunderDan]

Wait, is Pittstang in his garage for this game?

Was it Pittstang who had the garage mojo working?

I think it was Rutnstrut.

[Guiness]

Big for Special Teams and pass rush relief. Haven't seen much of Holy Fackrell.

I think pass rush relief is important, because Peppers can do great things in limited snaps if used correctly.

[smuggler]

We played Atl very close in the first matchup. Just beat the best team in the NFC. I like our chances.

I would not have get that, with his recent arrest wouldn't you want him as far away from the team as possible?

No, that was pittstang. He went from the basement, to the garage, and was last seen in a tool shed.

lose a guy on the very first play, seems about right

Shoulder?

Still in nickel on 1st down.

[ThunderDan]

That's fine. Let ATL get 4 a run.

[pbmax]

This offense goes sideways a LOT.

[red]

i like how everyone says we have our hands full today, everyone saying atl will stomp us

they won 1 whole game more then us in the regular season, and beat us by 1 whole point when we sucked

[ThunderDan]

Randall with too big a cushion there. Thanks for the drop.

[Rutnstrut]

Randall with too big a cushion there. Thanks for the drop.

That wasn't a cushion, he was barely in the fuckin stadium.

[red]

man, peppers looks so slow

[pbmax]

Getting pressure.

Almost wish he raised his hands

[Rutnstrut]

man, peppers looks so slow

Clay isn't any faster.

[ThunderDan]

Challenge that. Jake Ryan stop that. Hold your gap.

[pbmax]

Ryan ran out of his gap

[red]

nice fill ryan

[red]

nice thump haha

[Harlan Huckleby]

ha ha!

[pbmax]

Yes, now THAT is zone defense.

[ThunderDan]

Great range by HaHa to break that up.

[pittstang5]

3rd and 11. I know this offense is good, but you gotta stop them on 3rd and long. sheesh!!!

[Netmag]

Sigh...following game on my phone. For first time in whatever the internet & tv just went out here an hour ago.

[pbmax]

Need pressure in middle.

[ThunderDan]

Not sure how you defend the stack there.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

?? Falcons 28?

Oops, yes, 28

[pittstang5]

Oh good lord!

[Harlan Huckleby]

well, we knew it wasn't gonna be a defensive battle

[red]

and you had terry fucking bradshaw blasting all packer fans earlier for questioning his good buddy dom capers

[Teamcheez1]

Jake Ryan makes AJ Hawk look like a good player.

[pbmax]

I think Thomas went somewhere he should not have

[pbmax]

Jake Ryan makes AJ Hawk look like a good player.

He had a guy in the middle. Thomas left his spot.

[Rutnstrut]

Jake Ryan makes AJ Hawk look like a good player.

Hawk was a good player, just slooow.

[pittstang5]

gotta hold...i don't think we can though.

[ThunderDan]

Peppers active inside so far.

[Fritz]

well, we knew it wasn't gonna be a defensive battle

Some defense, huh?

[pittstang5]

that was so shitty!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Jake Ryan makes AJ Hawk look like a good player.

Not sure Ryan was responsible.

[red]

peppers was completely lost on that pre snap. daniels was even trying to tell him where to go

[beveaux1]

That looked too easy.

[Teamcheez1]

That was 3 3rd down plays that drive the defense utterly failed on.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Some defense, huh?

they don't have to be good. But an occasional stop will be nice.

[red]

MIGHT WANT TO FUCKING COVER SOMEONE

[ThunderDan]

That penalty is crap. Ha Ha pushed him. Should have been DPI and not enforced.

[Fritz]

Well, this is, as I have been telling you all, reminiscent of the 2011 defense.

Like a knife through butter. A steak knife.

[red]

rush 3 fat guys, and the QB is able to run around

better come up with better shit then that dom

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

MIGHT WANT TO FUCKING COVER SOMEONE

FUCK!!!!!!!

[pbmax]

Defense yielded some tough yards. Did well versus run with one exception. All can be adjusted.

Need a play on third down.

[beveaux1]

One silver lining, our pass rush looked OK.

[mmmdk]

Dang, AJ Hawk get very little recognition. The guy had some pretty good seasons but Hawk was merely drafted too high.

[gbgary]

need some early adjustments.

[Rutnstrut]

Sanu a FA is giving the Packers a hard time. It can't be, everyone knows FA's are worthless.

[red]

That penalty is crap. Ha Ha pushed him. Should have been DPI and not enforced.

would have been nice of them to show a replay of the penalty

[pittstang5]

better call the fire department. Atlanta is on fire.

[ThunderDan]

MIGHT WANT TO FUCKING COVER SOMEONE

What can Hyde do? He moves up to tackle Ryan and the WR is open. He stays on the WR and Ryan walks in for the TD.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

And again this week, posting via my phone, so not drunk (yet), but the fucking keyboard is so small.

[Rutnstrut]

Now the Offense can NOT go 3 and out, nothing short of 7 here.

[Harlan Huckleby]

go Ga Ga!

[Bossman641]

Sanu a FA is giving the Packers a hard time. It can't be, everyone knows FA's are worthless.

Shut up. Yes we get it. You hate the Packers.

[pbmax]

would have been nice of them to show a replay of the penalty

They did, HaHa shoved WR out of bounds while Ryan still had the ball.

[red]

so the NFL is deathly afraid of another nip slip type fiasco

so what do they do? bring in the biggest whore in entertainment today to perform

i'm sure it will all go smoothly

[Harlan Huckleby]

Now the Offense can NOT go 3 and out, nothing short of 7 here.

punter should be inactive

[pbmax]

What can Hyde do? He moves up to tackle Ryan and the WR is open. He stays on the WR and Ryan walks in for the TD.

I would prefer him to stay on coverage and hope Peppers or ILB hits Ryan hard. But that is just second guessing.

[yetisnowman]

We have to find a way to get pressure and rattle Ryan and create a turnover. No pressure our d is dead in the water.

[mmmdk]

Thank goodness Atlanta won't go for two point conversion after every touchdown.

[beveaux1]

Dang, AJ Hawk get very little recognition. The guy had some pretty good seasons but Hawk was merely drafted too high.

Hawk was an average starter who played every game. He just wasn't a star. Not good on pass coverage, didn't blitz particularly well, but was gap steady. We could have done worse and many teams did.

[Fritz]

they don't have to be good. But an occasional stop will be nice.

I don't think the offense will do as well as you all seem to think.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Shut up. Yes we get it. You hate the Packers.

easy, easy - if we turn on each other the terorists win

[beveaux1]

Sanu a FA is giving the Packers a hard time. It can't be, everyone knows FA's are worthless.

Every receiver gives us a hard time.

[Rutnstrut]

so the NFL is deathly afraid of another nip slip type fiasco

She is an oddball. But she is an oddball that can really sing, unlike a lot of the so called talent they have had.

[pbmax]

Hawk was an average starter who played every game. He just wasn't a star. Not good on pass coverage, didn't blitz particularly well, but was gap steady. We could have done worse and many teams did.

For two years he was very good and quick. Just slowly became physically outmatched.

[ThunderDan]

Good first down run.

[SMBASS]

Pack D is just so hard to watch. Need to put some points on the board AR!

[pbmax]

Guess he is OK.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't think the offense will do as well as you all seem to think.

take that, mother fucker

[red]

and theres jordy. looked like bulaga jumper early

[ThunderDan]

ARod looks on early.

[pbmax]

Oh my god I love this offense.

[red]

She is an oddball. But she is an oddball that can really sing, unlike a lot of the so called talent they have had.

i'd say theres about a 50% chance she just lays on the stage naked for the whole show fisting he ass

[Rutnstrut]

Whatever you do, don't run the fucking ball.

[pbmax]

Loved that shot play.

[pittstang5]

Fuck.... There's one

[ThunderDan]

Blow to the head of the QB. Should not have been called and wasn't.

[pbmax]

Good grief.

[Harlan Huckleby]

shit, snap the ball, no TO. This is 19th game of year

[Harlan Huckleby]

go 4 it

[Teamcheez1]

Offensive fail.

[pittstang5]

FUCK!!!! In a Dome...CMON MASON!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Lindsey missed blitz pick up?

[pbmax]

Saw that coming a mile away. Who didn't protect.

And crap Buck finally got that streak broken.

[red]

everyone was sent long when we needed 4 yards

not good enough offense

[Harlan Huckleby]

who cares, 3 points is nuttin in this game

[Teamcheez1]

Crosby - What have you done for me lately?

[gbgary]

ugh

[Rutnstrut]

There is a shocker, other teams blitzes get home. Dom blitzes rarely do.

[woodbuck27]

Ohh No !

There goes the streak for Mason Crosby.

[esoxx]

Money Mase with the choke early.

Not good.

[Bossman641]

Ugh, alright come on defense.

[beveaux1]

We needed some points.

[pbmax]

Lindsey missed blitz pick up?

Yep. HE double teams the DT.

Same problem he has at end of season and versus Cowboys in second half. He needs to read that LB longer.

[beveaux1]

D has to get a stop.

[Rutnstrut]

who cares, 3 points is nuttin in this game

True, the bigger issue is letting the Atlanta O back on the field. Worse yet letting Dom's dumbasses back on.

[Fritz]

So much for trading touchdowns for even a field goal. Green Bay defense doesn't get a stop - at least hold them to a damn field goal - this game is pretty much over.

All those first round defensive picks - what the hell? They suck. No pass rush. No nothing.

[pittstang5]

forget the miss. it's the field position i;m more pissed about

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think they were in 4 down territory. Roll out Rodgers in run/pass option on third

[pbmax]

There is a shocker, other teams blitzes get home. Dom blitzes rarely do.

Easy when center ignores a delayed blitz.

[Teamcheez1]

The offense has to win this game, not the defense.

[ThunderDan]

Good job Clay coming down the line to make the stop.

[Fritz]

Dom sending 2. Really?

[gbgary]

enough with the zone d.

[Harlan Huckleby]

D has to get a stop.

we need a drinking game where we take a shot every time atlanta punts. could be a lousy party, tho

[red]

no way, our zone has holes?

[Rutnstrut]

Easy when center ignores a delayed blitz.

Yup, Linsley wiffed.

[beveaux1]

9 men defending and wide open.

[pittstang5]

we gotta cover better or get to Ryan. No easy feat, but Ryan is too good.

[red]

Dom sending 2. Really?

he's gonna let our secondary win this one

[Teamcheez1]

Maybe we could defend one pass prior to halftime.

[Harlan Huckleby]

enough with the zone d.

I don't know. Need to slow um down

[ThunderDan]

Great run support by Dix.

[pittstang5]

here we go, 3rd and 7. I bet they get at least 12

[pbmax]

Randall went with the outside receiver inside. Did not back up to play zone. Inside DB stayed inside. Someone was wrong there on Sanu catch.

[pittstang5]

GOOD GOD! COVER!!!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

my god. third down is gimme

[Rutnstrut]

This D is fucking worthless.

[Teamcheez1]

Nobody even covered him.

[smuggler]

Packers did not cover Hooper on 3rd down. WHY?

[red]

The offense has to win this game, not the defense.

well, i'm sure we defered again, and they scored on their first drive and about to on their second, so yeah we need the defense to do something

[Fritz]

Christ they blow.

[pittstang5]

SOMEBODY FUCKIN COVER SANU!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Don't strip the ball Brice make the tackle.

[Teamcheez1]

We haven't been within 5 yards of a receiver this game.

[Bossman641]

Randall getting torched

[mmmdk]

This Packers defense is painful to watch.

[woodbuck27]

Randall went with the outside receiver inside. Did not back up to play zone. Inside DB stayed inside. Someone was wrong there on Sanu catch.

pbmax:

Watch how Gunter tries to defend against his WR. He has so much to learn.

[red]

LOL, randall shrugs his shoulders after giving up a wide open deep pass

cut his fucking ass

[pbmax]

Thomas slows down and grabs him its not a first.

[Fritz]

Only way to stop the Falcons is if they stop themselves.

[SMBASS]

This Fn' D can never, ever get off of the field on 3rd downs regardless of the yardage needed.

[red]

we can't stop shit, gonna be a long day

[Teamcheez1]

Does Dom actually have a game plan?

[pbmax]

pbmax:

Watch how Gunter tries to defend against his WR. He has so much to learn.

If we do not know the D call, we don't know who screwed up.

[pittstang5]

Need a turnover

[red]

Packers did not cover Hooper on 3rd down. WHY?

dom capers

[pittstang5]

Sanu = MVP.

[pbmax]

Matthews lost the back.

[red]

Does Dom actually have a game plan?

yeah, don't rush, don't cover

[gbgary]

got to play man. zone is killing us.

[Rutnstrut]

Sanu = MVP.

Nah, he was a FA so it must be someone else.

[ThunderDan]

Holding ATL.

[red]

well, atlanta is doing everything they can to help our d

[pittstang5]

Making them kick a FG is a win in my book

[pbmax]

Jones was held.

[Harlan Huckleby]

got to play man. zone is killing us.

because of our scary good corners?

[red]

gotta play catch up here offence

[ThunderDan]

Good job holding them to 3.

[Teamcheez1]

Alright Aaron, you better strap it on for this next drive.

Would have only been 7 if Crosby hadn't choked.

[pbmax]

well, atlanta is doing everything they can to help our d

On the last two plays, yes.

[Rutnstrut]

Good job holding them to 3.

Not if the offense doesn't get their head out of their ass.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Not exactly the start I was hoping for....

[smuggler]

Need to actually run the ball a little on offense. The Falcons run defense is not very good.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Does Dom actually have a game plan?

I doubt any of this is about scheme. We have so-so talent on defense against a white hot offense.

[beveaux1]

Got to score this time.

[red]

because of our scary good corners?

we suck at man, but we've always been horrible in zone. we either cant teach it, or all the guys we draft can't learn how to play it, but the capers zone has always been cut up like its nothing

[ThunderDan]

Not if the offense doesn't get their head out of their ass.

We marched down the field last time.

[Rutnstrut]

Need to actually run the ball a little on offense. The Falcons run defense is not very good.

Don't hold your breath. Stubby don't need no stinking run.

[pbmax]

I doubt any of this is about scheme. We have so-so talent on defense against a white hot offense.

Its not. They need to be more coverage certain. Randall and Matthews have blown coverage so far.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Good job holding them to 3.

If we do not know the D call, we don't know who screwed up.

I mean specifically..... watch how Badly LaDarius Gunter plays his position.

TT has to draft (acquire) defensive backs.

one yard catch, that'll keep us in it

[pbmax]

we suck at man, but we've always been horrible in zone. we either cant teach it, or all the guys we draft can't learn how to play it, but the capers zone has always been cut up like its nothing

Randall is having trouble with zone. Rest of DBs have figured it ou.

[esoxx]

If I'm Atlanta I'm going after Randall big time the rest of the way. I don't know if he's hurt, has no confidence, or just plain sucks. But at this point he's a liability.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Need to actually run the ball a little on offense. The Falcons run defense is not very good.

I agree, to a point. And that point is when the results make me look bad

And he was supposed to be our 6th string CB to start the season. In fact he may have started on practice squad.

How many catches does his guy have today?

Pretty sure its one and it was very short.

[Teamcheez1]

I feel like we need at least 35 points to win this game.

[Rutnstrut]

We marched down the field last time.

And stalled when they needed not to. They need to not only move the ball, but score TD's and use a lot of clock to keep the Packer D off the field. To do that they have to run the ball more, which stubby refuses to do.

Maybe Hawkins needs to play if Randall can't.

[JohnMexico]

I know we bitch about it EVERY game thread...



but we cannot stress enough how badly Ted missed on two corners in the first 2 rounds..... two complete NOBODIES

the cobbler


call me nuts, but i want to see Michaels run the ball, is he active?

[mmmdk]

Too much depends on Aaron Rodgers and his merry men on offense.

[ThunderDan]

ARod is on fire.

if anyone doesn't go after randall, their HC should be fired the next day for not doing his homework

As do I, but stubby does not.

AR is beyond awesome.

[pbmax]

Run forward Michael.

didn't he just get hurt like yesterday or friday

nope there he is going backwards after a catch

[pittstang5]

And that's why you aren't on the field more Michael. GO STRAIGHT!!!!

[ThunderDan]

That is why Michael stinks. Put your head down and get the first down. Stop dancing around.
