Why the Packers will have trouble Sunday.

[Rastak]

Wow Bishop over Barnett?

No the reason that Barnett looks like he is getting pushed around is because our DTs are not holding the point of attack so he can flow to the ball. Not even Ray Lewis in his prime could play the run effectivley if his DTs didnt play well.

QFT although in his prime Ray Lewis could stab a mofo and get away with it too.

I think the key play will be from our SS & FS.....I would guess we need extra in the box to stop the run...Ryan shouldn't scare us as a QB.

Too bad we are down to our stop gap safety Charlie Peprah. Could be a long ass game unless Iron Man Aaron plays.

Ray Lewis was never accused of stabbing anyone. It was his posse and he was charged because he tried to cover it up.

Re: Why the Packers will have trouble Sunday.

Basic Football.

The Falcons lead the NFL in rushing yards/game.

The Packers rushing defense is 26th in the league.

The D-line and Nick Barnett have beeen shoved around almost at will this season. It could get very ugly.

The Packers can't run the ball and have refused to play a lot of Brandon Jackson. Grant has been fumbling away too much. So the Packers throw the ball a lot. Matt Flynn will be going against the 13th ranked pass defense. Flynn has almost doubled his practice time with the team since training camp.

I wish there were more positives.

I don't want to see the Packers go below .500 at Lambeau Field but they will have to do something they haven't done this season. Stop the run.

To rest the injured and currently ineffective Barnett, for this game, I would start Bishop at MLB.

Time for McCarthy to earn his now increased salary and not say the same lame things that never change after the game. He better fix that run defense and run some tackling drills and practice in preparation.

Losing the divisional lead would be painful.

You make it easy to throw this post out the window. Look at the home/away statsitics of the Falcons. They currently have the WORST rushing offense on the road in the entire NFL.

Or, do we only count the home games?

I'd love to have a Hawk, Bishop, Poppinga starting LB corp with Barnett replacing Poppinga on pass downs. I'd love it even more if we could trade Barnett for a 1st round pick.

You will be lucky to get a 4th for him.

go back to motel 6!... you're boring us... you used to be entertaining but now not so much...

Not looking to entertain you kid.
But I did stay at a Holiday Inn, which I hear qualifies me to be a member on the Packers team this year.
