[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.
Do it, stop them and get the ball and it's genius. Go down in the dome and you're lookin at trouble. If you're true to the strength of this team, it's a consideration. I wouldn't be shocked if he did it. This year, with Matthews, Raji and Williams becoming great players. . . . We're an elite defense.
Well, that was what he said last week in the post game.... He wanted to take control by putting the strongest unit on the field first, then Dom basically dared Bert to throw it by stacking the box. It was genius, as you say.
The thing is, though, Bert and the Vikings offense haven't been firing, so the risk was less. But the the Falcons, I dunno if he takes the risk. Atlanta will be confident with that 18-1 record, Matt's proving to be elite based on 8-3 this year..... Difficult to call.
This is ridiculous!! Every win counts. This is what has been posted every year since TT and MM got here. They win the easy games and can't beat the great teams.
Well I can play the same game with ATL. ATL lost to a Pitt team that started Dennis Dixon at QB that had started only 1 game in his career. How do they blow that game to a completely overmatched PITT O? And PHI is a good loss? You know Kolb was the QB for that game not Vick. So isn't that the same team that the Packers beat at PHI? And TB? They haven't beaten a winning team. TB got beat by 25 points by both PITT and NO. ATL was the only winning team that TB could hang with.
The Packers are 7-3 with a team plagued with injuries. I give them two thumbs way up!
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Let's look at the NY Jets. The team people think is the best in the NFL right now with NE.
Balt (7-3) L
NE (8-2) W
MIA (5-5) W
BUF (2-8) W
MINN (3-7) W
DEN (3-7) W
GB (7-3) L
DET (2-8) W
CLE (3-7) W
HOU (4-6) W
NY JETS have played 3 winning teams this year and are 1-2
They remaining 7 wins team records are a combined 22-48
Horrible the Jets are dog crap!

Sportsline is calling for a shootout
No respect for the Packer's league leading scoring D! Falcons have a good O, but I'm not so sure they can sore at will against our defense.This is another chance to slim the pool of best-team candidates in the NFC. The Falcons are 18-1 at home with Matt Ryan playing quarterback. It's hard to buck that here. Aaron Rodgers will be a tough quarterback to stop for the Falcons' defense. I look for a lot of points. First one to 35 wins. It's Atlanta as Ryan passes for more than Rodgers.

So...according to your quote, the Packers win over the Jets was no big deal, since they are dog crap. Atlanta's offense is ranked higher than the Packers right now:
Falcons
7th YPG Offense
6th PPG Offense
17th YPG Defense
7th YPG Defense
Packers
13th YPG Offense
8th PPG Offense
12th YPG Defense
1st PPG Defense
The Packers defense is ranked higher, but which one is going to win the game, offense or defense? We are playing in their noisy dome, where they're 18-1. This will be a close game.
Thanks Ted!
Packers by 4.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

No, I think that call was an "in your face" to Favre. And they were. In his face, that is.

As a rule I hate "explaining" losses, but we got hosed by the refs in chicago (and arguably Wash/Miami too) and that concussion affected Rodgers thru most of the washington and miami games. And yes, i believe he sustained it on the QB sneak early. We are playing lights out right now, with very few weaknesses. I think we beat them and have a very legit shot at the trophy.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
No way...you don't need atlanta running the ball well, eating 8 minutes of clock, leaving the O feeling anxious and helpless watching. He did it in minny hoping to calm the crowd before the O had to deal with it.

My point is you can do that to any win that any team has. You can bag on a teams schedules, you can be negative about the whole season if you want. The Packers have taken care of the 7 of the 10 teams on their schedule and are tied for 1st in the North. We have 10 or 11 players on the IR. We are playing with 3rd and 4th stringers against other team's 1st stringers and beating them.
You can be a negative Nelly. I am going to be the kool-aid drinker and when I am sitting in Lambeau in January watching playoff games I'll lift one for you and your post. (Now watch them tank and I have to eat crow. If they do I guess I will have to.)

While I was at the hospital yesterday the Phlebotomist and I started talking football and it turns out Jason Snelling is her cousin. She swore to me he was a tackle.
C.H.U.D.
Clark Judge came up with this gem of a line when talking about Matt Ryan's home record and some near losses.
Um, ya. Thanks for that, Captain Obvious.But he didn't, and he didn't because he almost never does in Atlanta, which is the definition of a home-field advantage.

I hope you're right Dan, maybe I worry too much, I just think Atlanta is a pretty f'n good team, Turner is a stud back, Ryan is a young, quality QB who doesn't make many mistakes, White has over 1,000 yds, and Abraham is a good pass rusher, I'm just saying they have their shit together better than any team the Packers have faced yet this year. Still, the Packers D is awesome, and Matthews hopefully can pressure Ryan to make some mistakes. I predict a lower scoring game, Packers 24- Falcons 21.
Thanks Ted!
I absolutely believe what you posted above. I think the Pack wins more in the 24-13 range as our D bangs another team out.

I could see us holding them to a few more field goals than TD's.
Packers 24
Falcons 23

As enjoyable as I might find you eating crow, I have to hope you'll be hoisting that drink. I hope to be there as well, but I'll be hoisting the hot chocolate.
As for this particular game - I'm worried about this one. I'd love to be wrong.
The steelers were no sluff without ben, going 3-1. Same record we had WITH our starting QB. Steelers proved they are good with or without Ben.
Besides, steelers knew going into the game they weren't going to have ben, so they adjusted their offense.
If you want to say they are overrated, lets look at us, shall we?
Tight win against the Eagles. Starting QB Kolb goes down in the 2nd quarter. Vick comes in, with little practice all offeseason with the first team unit, and almost leads the Eagles all the way back to a win. Should he of started, it does look likely that we would of lost this game. Very unimpressive showing, considering the eagles didn't have a vick full time playing plan in place, yet they still marched up and down on us with him in.
Win against the bills. They are pretty much the worst team in the NFL, and they were having QB concerns. Noithing impressive to take away from this one.
Loss to bears: Should of won, but we didn't. We found a way to somehow lose a game it appeared we should of won. Bears, like it or not, are 7-3.
Barely beat Detroit - They aren't as bad as in previous years, but are still a bottom dweller in the NFC. Very unimpressive showing.
Loss to Redskins - Redskins are a horrible team. This is the same team that the vick lead eagles lit up. Not only did we not win, we lost. They are a mediocre .500 team.
Dolphins - Another mediocre .500 team that we lost to.
Barely beat the vikings, staving off a late comeback attempt by Favre. The win is always nice in a tight rivalry, but the vikings are hardly a good team this year.
Shut out against the jets. Best win the year. On the road, defense plays lights out. Unfortunately, our offense didn't show up. At all. This is our signature win of the entire season right now, and very comparable, honestly, to the ravens win Atlanta got.
Beat the Cowboys. End of wade philip era, one of the wrost teams in the NFC. Played inspired since his firing, but bottom line is they were a horrible team.
Blow out hte vikings. Impressive given the rivalry and on the road factor, but this team has the same record as the lions and cowboys. THey are a bad team.
So, of our wins, we have one, count it, one impressive win. We have two wins against teams who presently are above .500.
Atlanta has wins over 7-3 surprise Bucs team, Ravens, Saints. Between the two of us we technically have the most impressive victory in beating the jets on the road, but they have more quality victorys. Considering ours came in a game in which both kolb and vick played half a game, we really only have one impressive win. They have 3. Sure, they had close wins they should of won by more, but so have we.
Our teams are very comparable, so to say they are overrated is to say we are overrated. Everyone is talking about our defense, but two of the last 3 games we played some of the worst teams in the NFL. The jets was impressive, but that was it. Take off the homer glasses and you'll see Atlanta is a legit contender, and we're still seeking a "true" big NFC win to prove we are contenders in the NFC.
Disagree entirely that we are overrated.
We beat the Eagles, a team that lit up the Falcons without any help from Vick at all. This game was somewhat close but by no means did we squeak by.
We obliterated the Bills
We lost to the Bears in a close one. Packers dominated this game statistically and instead fell victim to typical Bear shit. This is a division game where things happen.
We snuck past the lions. This is a classic example of a division game where the Lions had a great offensive strategy. The mistakes of this game have obviously been cleaned up.
Lost in OT to the Skins and had every excuse to do so. Finley was lost in the opening seconds, Matthews about halfway through. The difference in this game could be the no call helmet to helmet on A-Rod. Loss is a loss though.
Lost again in OT to the Phins. All this game really proved is that this is a different team without Clay Matthews.
Snuck past the Vikings. Got Clay back and won on the back of the defense despite having like 2 active DL.
Shut out the Jets. This could have been prettier but this defense has fully recovered from injury and is capable of winning Bears style.
Shit inside the hearts of the Cowboys.
Raped the Vikings with a dick-shaped cactus. Children will one day sing ballads of this victory.
In short, welcome to the second half of the season where the Packers begin to roll over teams. A-Rod has officially caught fire and is spreading the burning to the genitalia of defenses around the league. The closest thing the defense has to a weakness is that as a baby Clay Matthews was dipped into the river Styx but was held by his hamstring which made no contact with the waters thus leaving it susceptible to being pulled from time to time.
Of course the Packers could find a way to lose this one, it wouldn't be the first time but really its a favorable match-up and this Falcons team has had as many favorable bounces as we've had unfavorable.
