Official Packers vs Falcons Game Day Thread

[Joemailman]

Wicks!

[MadScientist]

Wicks would not be denied!

[beveaux1]

Wicks might be a keeper.

[King Friday]

Every kick this year has been right down the middle. We may have a keeper.

[Guiness]

Smith pissed about that call, lol

[beveaux1]

Love looks good!

[smuggler]

Wicks made a play!

[King Friday]

How dangerous will this offense be with Watson and Jones? Yikes.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Wicks would not be denied!

It all started when they killed his dog.

[Guiness]

Wicks? ok, that is a surprise. He made that safety miss very nicely!

[Joemailman]

It all started when they killed his dog.

I'll take a double cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions.

[Fosco33]

My buddy called Wicks - TRex on that deflected TD miss earlier.

Henceforth this late round draftee is known to me as TRex. Not sure he’s boondoggle worthy but good for the rook

[Joemailman]

Both TD's by rookie receivers. Gotta get Musgrave in there.

[Teamcheez1]

Defense needs to stiffen.

[ThunderDan]

Come on D. Pick it up. We don’t need bend and don’t break.

[beveaux1]

We cannot stop the run.

[King Friday]

Ugly defensive stand so far.

[ThunderDan]

Every run play, Clark is getting a push and his jersey is getting pulled.

[Teamcheez1]

Stop the f’ing run.

[ThunderDan]

Packers didn’t bite on the play action.

[smuggler]

We need Atlanta to call more pass plays. And our D needs to catch the interceptions that Ridder throws.

[Teamcheez1]

That was terrible defense. What the fuck are they doing ???????

[King Friday]

Left heel came down.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I'll take a double cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions.

I am guessing you ain’t ever seen any of the John Wick films.

[beveaux1]

That was terrible defense. What the fuck are they doing ???????

They can't stop the run. Period.

[ThunderDan]

That is so close. Don’t know if they can overturn it.

[smuggler]

Heels on the white. He's out of bounds. Left heel.

[Teamcheez1]

They can't stop the run. Period.

158 yards rushing so far.

[King Friday]

Need a stop on 3D.

[ThunderDan]

Wow D got the sack.

Why did ATL start passing? I would have kept feeding the rock to Robinson.

[smuggler]

Gary and Clark!

[beveaux1]

Sack!!

[ThunderDan]

Funny feeling about this game. DL playing well, Quay and Savage playing well.

Yet I still don’t trust the D.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Is this shit even “live”? During the review of the Hollings TD, Fox showed the score as 17-12.

[King Friday]

Is this shit even “live”? During the review of the Hollings TD, Fox had showed the score as 17-12.

The moon landing was faked!

[Teamcheez1]

Take the touchback you idiots!

[King Friday]

Stop it!

[beveaux1]

Funny feeling about this game. DL playing well, Quay and Savage playing well.

Yet I still don’t trust the D.

They're outscheming us with their run game. Every play is to the proper gap against our 2-5 defense.

[Sparkey]

Love has completed a pass to 7 different players.

[ThunderDan]

Love has completed a pass to 7 different players.

Similar to prime ARod days.

[King Friday]

Reed is a beast, and Love is throwing before breaks are made. LOVEly.

[ThunderDan]

O is starting to really get going. Not sure about ATL cbs but they are playing off and we get 9 yards ever pass.

[beveaux1]

Love looks so sharp.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The moon landing was faked!

It was. Look at all the pics. No stars. The moon has no atmosphere. All the stars should be shining.

[smuggler]

Best I have ever seen Love look. Leave it to Atlanta to really make a Packer QB look amazing. (2010 playoff game reference)

[Joemailman]

Hope the defense is figuring some things out during the break they're getting.

[MadScientist]

Reed is having a game!

[King Friday]

6 TD, 0 INT

Wow.

[ThunderDan]

Reed is playing great. Wasn’t real excite about the pick at the time. Scouting staff definitely saw something.

[jklowan]

Our run d is in mid season form, glad the O looks repectable, nice surprise down the number 1 rb & wr

[Sparkey]

Love Reed

[beveaux1]

Love's 6th TD pass of the season.

[Joemailman]

What a grab by Whelan!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Reed is playing great. Wasn’t real excite about the pick at the time. Scouting staff definitely saw something.

This is why you’re an accountant and not a scout.

[Sparkey]

This is why you’re an accountant and not a scout.

Says a burger flipper at 40...

[King Friday]

Our run d is in mid season form, glad the O looks repectable, nice surprise down the number 1 rb & wr

Last time I checked, the run defense has stiffened inside the 20. I could care less if they give up 400 yards rushing between the 20s if they make the stops in the red zone.

[Guiness]

Not sure how the O is doing it, but the last 2 passes were to wide open receivers.

[beveaux1]

Atlanta can still run the ball but time becomes more of a factor up by two scores.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Says a burger flipper at 40...

In my defense, I have also passed the Wisconsin CPAs. Pigs like Thunder won’t hire me.

[ThunderDan]

This is why you’re an accountant and not a scout.

That is CPA, owner, shareholder.

[ThunderDan]

In my defense, I have also passed the Wisconsin CPAs. Pigs like Thunder won’t hire me.

Must have a criminal record or something. We can’t find CPAs to hire starting at 80k with little to no experience.

[jklowan]

With the talent on this D we should not be giving up 200yds rushing no matter where it happens, not a recipe for success.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Must have a criminal record or something. We can’t find CPAs to hire starting at 80k with little to no experience.

No criminal record. I’m a man of virtues.

[Fosco33]

Lotta game left. Feel like we need 10 more in 4th.

Love looking sharp!

[ThunderDan]

Let’s get a 3 and out and grind 9 minutes on a 14 play drive to seal it.

[beveaux1]

Added extra DL to stop the run. They needed to do that earlier since Ridder can't throw.

[Guiness]

It was. Look at all the pics. No stars. The moon has no atmosphere. All the stars should be shining.

Checkmate, right? smh

[Sparkey]

Rudy Ford is terrible.

Savage, I meant.

[red]

god damn savage, how do you not get that?

[Teamcheez1]

Play the damn ball Savage!!!

[ThunderDan]

Savage kind of blew that. Was completely beat, got back into to position and kind of panicked.

[smuggler]

Savage mis-timed his leap. He had the leverage and could've intercepted it.

[Sparkey]

Gary loses contain.

[ThunderDan]

Douglas needs to step up and hit the QB there.

[Teamcheez1]

If the defense just played average, this game would be over.

They suck today.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Gary loses contain.

Clay maker brain fart.

[smuggler]

Rasul chewing Gary out after the play. Rightfully so. Gary fucked that play.

[beveaux1]

Gotta outscore them. C'mon Love!

[Joemailman]

god damn savage, how do you not get that?

Mistimed his jump.

[Guiness]

Gary loses contain.

If he stays at home and sets the edge I think he looks to the endzone for an open receiver.

[jklowan]

just when you start to feel good about this team we give up a drive like that :( baby steps

[Fosco33]

Falcons have left this wide open for a road W. Just need like a 7min Td response here - or a fg at minimum

[jklowan]

gotta fucking score here

[Teamcheez1]

Are we going to give this one away?

[ThunderDan]

Horrible throw. That wouldn’t have been a 1st down anyway if completed.

[smuggler]

Ridder kinda looks like Kiff from Futurama mixed with Matt Ryan.

[red]

gotta do better guys

[Joemailman]

Rough series for Love there.

[jklowan]

fuck

[smuggler]

Not a great exchange.

[Fosco33]

Shit. Falcons should be ahead easy right now.

Defense needs to grab some momentum - take the crowd out.

[beveaux1]

D has to play now. Bring in the big DLs. Make them pass.

[smuggler]

Zebras need Lasik. That's not a facemask.

[King Friday]

Packers defense, as we knew before the game, is going to have to step up and deliver here in the 4Q.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Rough series for Love there.

Missed a wide open Doubs
.

[jklowan]

good effort but looks like a mental meltdown from a young team, hope I'm wrong

[ThunderDan]

D needs to step up.

[Teamcheez1]

Falcons can hand the ball off 20 times in a row.

[King Friday]

We are missing 4 of our best players on offense. On the road. Can’t fault this effort.

[Teamcheez1]

We are missing 4 of our best players on offense. On the road. Can’t fault this effort.

We’re not missing them on defense.

[red]

nice D guys, very nice

[King Friday]

We’re not missing them on defense.

Agree. That is why the defense needs to step up.

[ThunderDan]

Good penetration by the DL and swarming LBs and DBs.

[ThunderDan]

That is a break.

[red]

lucky

who is the asshole that keeps saying 3rd and 7? i've heard him a few times today

[Joemailman]

White knuckle time.

[King Friday]

Love needs to scramble now. If you drop back and it isn’t open, step up and run.

[Fosco33]

Do we have killer instinct?

[Fosco33]

lucky

who is the asshole that keeps saying 3rd and 7? i've heard him a few times today

I’d guess a fan near the booth.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Clutch time is the thing within we’ll find out about the mojo of Love.

[jklowan]

need a TD, lets fuckin go

[King Friday]

Why are the Falcons kicking out of the end zone when we keep returning it poorly? Morons.

[ThunderDan]

That is the kind of run that we need.

[King Friday]

Good north south run.

[King Friday]

need a TD, lets fuckin go

Forget the TD. 8 min drive that runs out the clock.

[red]

wtf was that, he dove short?

[Teamcheez1]

F’ing stupid offense.

[King Friday]

Dillon is a liability as a runner.

[ThunderDan]

Myers was supposed to snap that. Love thought that he was going.

[Sparkey]

Myers

[red]

wtf was that?

oh, josh myers

[Rastak]

What was that?

[Teamcheez1]

We are going to give this away due to the sheer stupidity of the coaches and players.

[King Friday]

Myers is a liability as a center.

[Teamcheez1]

You suck Jaire!

[King Friday]

Ja still getting abused.

[Guiness]

Forget the TD. 8 min drive that runs out the clock.

we got anything but

[red]

Myers was supposed to snap that. Love thought that he was going.

either that or love was trying to fake the sneak to draw them off, but him moving negates that

alexanders worst game as a packer

now the guy is yelling, "are you fucking kidding me?", maybe they should move the mike

[Fosco33]

I thought he was close on the 2nd down. Not sure about the fall. And that snap?

[Sparkey]

Defense will never be good with Barry running it.

[ThunderDan]

Rasul keep your head up when tackling.

[Sparkey]

3rd and 3, play 8 yards off.

[Fosco33]

Jaire bad game. Offense falls asleep in 4th. Defense letting up chunks.

We’ll need to get a little lucky here

[red]

Defense will never be good with Barry running it.

nope, complete waste of a ton of talent

[Teamcheez1]

The defense is lost. All we can hope for is a mistake by the Falcons.

[Guiness]

either that or love was trying to fake the sneak to draw them off, but him moving negates that

alexanders worst game as a packer

now the guy is yelling, "are you fucking kidding me?", maybe they should move the mike

Ya, that field mic is picking some kind of stuff up, isn't it.

[Teamcheez1]

MLF and coaching staff is a big dud today.

[Joemailman]

Packers only with 2 timeouts.

[ThunderDan]

Ball should have been a yard farther back on that spot.

[Cheesehead Craig]

They'll get the first, then run the clock out and kick the FG at the buzzer

[King Friday]

They'll get the first, then run the clock out and kick the FG at the buzzer

More than likely.

[smuggler]

Shin went down at the 23 1/2, so they actually lost yardage on the challenge lol

[Sparkey]

How can you not be ready D ?

[Teamcheez1]

Bad defense the whole f’ing game.

[red]

god damnit

[ThunderDan]

Alexander fucking make a tackle.

[MadScientist]

Fuck!

[ThunderDan]

Shin went down at the 23 1/2, so they actually lost yardage on the challenge lol

Don’t move the spot back if you lose that challenge.

[beveaux1]

Gotta let them score on this play.

[Teamcheez1]

MLF and Barry lost this game.

Bad coaching and poor play against a mediocre team.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Same play as last 4th down

[red]

Bad defense the whole f’ing game.

we gave up 2 for sure ints, savage should have had another, and one of those would have been a TD

[smuggler]

Don’t move the spot back if you lose that challenge.

I know, but they should've.

[Fosco33]

They could bleed this to like 55 sec left if we take timeouts and force a kick. One first down and it’s PAT level

[beveaux1]

MLF and Barry lost this game.

Bad coaching and poor play against a mediocre team.

We're mediocre...or maybe worse.

[red]

Don’t move the spot back if you lose that challenge.

thats BS

[King Friday]

Joe Barely is edging closer to unemployment.

[smuggler]

Whenever they bring in the new defensive coordinator, I hope he is a creative/technician type, instead of the motivator type. Being energetic but stupid doesn't work in that role.

[Teamcheez1]

Outcoached plain and simple.

[beveaux1]

Let them score...now.

[jklowan]

shame to loose a really winable game, hopefully this team learns from this, jaire played like shit today

[ThunderDan]

The D just let ATL go up and down the field.

ATL with with 1 punt today.

That doesn’t cut it in the NFL.

[red]

Joe Barely is edging closer to unemployment.

if it didn't happen last offseason, then it won't until lafleur is told either he gets rid of him, or he's gone too

[Fosco33]

Almost think they should let them score right here. It’ll be one min w/ no timeouts or a 1st down and we’re proper fuckd.

[King Friday]

Koo is still poo. Falcons would like a first down.

[jklowan]

giving up 237 in the air and 200 on the ground will not get it done againsy many teams

[Teamcheez1]

We know they’re going to run and we still can’t stop them.

[King Friday]

That was not a first down.

[red]

you know the run is coming, how do they get 7 yards on it?

and if they then throw the ball, oh well

[Rastak]

That was not a first down.

Didn't look like it.

[King Friday]

Refs do need lasik.

[Bretsky]

Whenever they bring in the new defensive coordinator, I hope he is a creative/technician type, instead of the motivator type. Being energetic but stupid doesn't work in that role.

The defense was terrible against a terrible offense.

[red]

you gotta kick the FG

this isn't a tough call

[Fosco33]

450yrds, 27 1st downs allowed.

[Teamcheez1]

450yrds, 27 1st downs allowed.

Joe barely bend don’t break.

[Rastak]

Gotta kick it.

[King Friday]

I would’ve gone for it.

[Fosco33]

Younghoe?

[Teamcheez1]

We have a kicker with long range. The only hope.

[King Friday]

57 sec is a lot of time in the NFL.

[beveaux1]

We'll see how Love is in the 2 minute drill.

[Bretsky]

we can still win this

[Fosco33]

So get to the 40. See if Nixon helps them out.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Deja vu. Butte’s 1st season as starter all over again. Unable to win in the clutch.

[MadtownPacker]

We get to see what Love has in this situation!

[red]

myers on the ground while his guy hits love

[Teamcheez1]

Bad offense

[Rastak]

Bad throw.

[Teamcheez1]

We were fucking garbage in this game.

Coaches need to get this team ready to play.

[ThunderDan]

Game over, dropped pass.

[red]

well, they already said it was incomplete but a presnap penalty

[King Friday]

Packers need to get healthy. These injuries are eating us up.

[Guiness]

illegal shift? lol, smh

[beveaux1]

Game over.

[King Friday]

We were fucking garbage in this game.

Coaches need to get this team ready to play.

Defense was garbage. We all know Barely should’ve been fired last year.

[ThunderDan]

D sucked all day even with good play by a bunch of players.

D was out schemed all day. Barry needs to go.

Too much talent on this D to perform this way.

[Rastak]

Look at the bright side, Packers for you and the Vikings for me will get some real high picks next year.

[beveaux1]

We'll have games like this a few times.

[Fosco33]

They don’t blow the whistle so the refs fucked it.

I don’t get how a pre snap is anything but pre snap?

[red]

D sucked all day even with good play by a bunch of players.

D was out schemed all day. Barry needs to go.

exactly

pretty pathetic

[beveaux1]

Love looked bad that series. Real tough for a new QB to come back on the road.

[Guiness]

not sure why illegal shift would not be considered a pre-snap penalty

[red]

We'll have games like this a few times.

the problem is that the offence is the side with all the young players

defense is stacked with vets, they have no excuse to look that shitty

[MadtownPacker]

Look at the bright side, Packers for you and the Vikings for me will get some real high picks next year.
Losing by 1 on the road isn’t the same as 0-2.

[Fosco33]

How is Joe Barry still around

[Teamcheez1]

This loss is on the coaching staff. It will not be fixed until there are changes made.

[beveaux1]

Our starting D should have those 4 DL in the game and play man in the secondary. Dare them to throw.

The Falcons are run first, run all the time. We couldn't stop them with that base defense, 6 in the box.

[King Friday]

Love looked bad that series. Real tough for a new QB to come back on the road.

He’s working with a bunch of rookie WRs and no threat out of the backfield and a mediocre OL. It was amazing we got as much production as we did.

[King Friday]

How is Joe Barry still around

MLF needs to be grilled about this endlessly. Barry is not the answer at DC. Press needs to pressure that point until MLF has no choice but to fire him.

[beveaux1]

the problem is that the offence is the side with all the young players

defense is stacked with vets, they have no excuse to look that shitty

Wasn't talking about our defense. It's not good or the scheme isn't good. What did we do in the offseason to improve it?

I was talking about the offense which couldn't do anything in the 4th quarter. Not even a first down. That's what will cost us close games.

[Joemailman]

Frustrating. With defense reeling, offense needed 1 drive in 4th quarter. Couldn't get it.

Few teams missing 4 of their best players on one side of the ball look incredibly functional.

[smuggler]

not sure why illegal shift would not be considered a pre-snap penalty

It is a pre-snap penalty. It was declined.

[beveaux1]

Few teams missing 4 of their best players on one side of the ball look incredibly functional.

No argument, but they looked good for 3 quarters and when they could put Atlanta away, they fell on their face.

[MadtownPacker]

Frustrating. With defense reeling, offense needed 1 drive in 4th quarter. Couldn't get it.Seemed like the O stalled since the middle of the 3rd. Just one drive would have done it. By 1 on the road isn’t that bad. But yeah shit should have been a win.

[Joemailman]

More Banjo Thread posted.

[Joemailman]

Sheeeesh. Predicting a loss?

The Packers will win, and it won't be close.

Atlanta isn't as good as the Bears.

Sheeeesh.

[beveaux1]

Seemed like the O stalled since the middle of the 3rd. Just one drive would have done it. By 1 on the road isn’t that bad. But yeah shit should have been a win.

We'll see more games like this with the young offense. They have to learn how to win. Rodgers lost game after close game his first season as a starter.

[smuggler]

Most concerning thing is Ridder is a bottom-tier QB. Imagine having to deal with an actual good player under center for the opponent.

[MadtownPacker]

We'll see more games like this with the young offense. They have to learn how to win. Rodgers lost game after close game his first season as a starter.
My perspective is that this could and maybe should have been a win. Mistakes where made but Packers didn’t get outclassed at all and the home team had to rally back for the win. Not a bad loss at all.

[MadtownPacker]

Most concerning thing is Ridder is a bottom-tier QB. Imagine having to deal with an actual good player under center for the opponent.
I think they might have done better against that. That riddler dude has a funky playing style that kept throwing the D off.

[beveaux1]

Most concerning thing is Ridder is a bottom-tier QB. Imagine having to deal with an actual good player under center for the opponent.

Good news is that if it's a good QB, they'll be a passing team which plays to our defensive strength, such as it is.

[Rastak]

Vikings Packers should be a snooze fest for once.

[beveaux1]

Vikings Packers should be a snooze fest for once.

Vikings are better than their record. They're at least close to a .500 team. Those games should be fun to watch.

[Rastak]

Probably right.

[RashanGary]

I only saw the 4th quarter. How did the Jenkins and Van Ness injuries look? How did Love look. He wasn’t good in the 4th quarter with the adjusted offensive line.

[Joemailman]

I only saw the 4th quarter. How did the Jenkins and Van Ness injuries look? How did Love look. He wasn’t good in the 4th quarter with the adjusted offensive line.

I've read Jenkins is a sprained MCL. If so, he'll be out a few weeks. No idea who the source is.

[run pMc]

I missed first half of the game live and saw Newman and Walker were on the left side of the OL. That's a step down on the road in a loud dome for your run game and pass pro.
Hopefully Jenkins can recover soon. Looks like the GB OL depth, especially on the interior, is being tested already.

Haven't heard about Van Ness, but he took the brunt of a collision with Tyler Allgeier and didn't return. Looked like a shoulder or maybe some kind of stinger. Hope he's back.

This was a win-in-the-trenches kind of game and they lost. Was a close game and at least entertaining, but agree they probably should have won it. Hopefully they learn and improve from it.

[run pMc]

I think they might have done better against that. That riddler dude has a funky playing style that kept throwing the D off.

Ridder threw the ball to GB's defense a few times and they mostly dropped it. Jaire probably had a pick-six on the one, and Quay had a shot at another. Just wasn't their day.

[bobblehead]

It is a pre-snap penalty. It was declined.

No, its considered a live ball penalty because its not a penalty until the snap (chance to reset and such). Therefor it was declined. Presnap can't be declined such as false start.

[MadtownPacker]

Ridder threw the ball to GB's defense a few times and they mostly dropped it. Jaire probably had a pick-six on the one, and Quay had a shot at another. Just wasn't their day.
Shit there were about 3 pick6 chances that got dropped. Their QB wasn’t good IMO just played very wild and out of control.
