Isn't that so true! When your team isn't spewing yardage in the ST play, penalties and turnovers a competent team can be unstoppable. A team with talent can become serious trouble come playoff time!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.

Well, when you lay it out like that. . . . Yeah, we're going to whip their ass. We beat the Jets (comparable to beating the Ravens). We beat the Eagles (comparable to beating the Saints). . . . We lost three and two of them were so/so teams.
We're playing at the top of our game, but so are they. I don't think we're going to lose, but I know it's going to be a very difficult challenge. The Falcons might not be as good as their record, but they are a bonafide playoff team and playoff games are never easy. This is two playoff teams at the top of their game going head to head. Should be great football.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

They might have made a game out of it had Roddy White not been flagged for PI yesterday. FINALLY. My 20 pt prediction for them is generous.
Like most Packer games, a blowout wouldn't surprise me.70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.Comment

THe pushoffs concern me, because that leaves calling it up to the officials, and we haven't been fortunate in that regard. Hell, missed pushoffs were huge in the playoff loss last year. I do think that if GB brings their "A" game, they should win a tough game.Originally posted by 3irty1 View PostComment

This game will determine whether the Packers will be limited to contending for the NFC North crown and a possible 1st round bye, or whether they will have a shot at home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Packers currently occupy the 6th playoff spot. However, a Packer win over the Falcons coupled with an Eagle win at Chicago (very possible) would I believe, vault the Packers into the #1 spot overall.
Both of these teams are tougher defensively in the red zone than they are between the 20's. Red zone efficiency may well decide this game.I can't run no more

Atl has 2 wins against decent teams. They will fold against the Pack and we will dominate this game 45-10Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

The Packers as well have 2 wins against quality teams (Eagles and Jets). Atlanta is solid and will be tough at home. Packers can win, but will be a close game.Originally posted by Tony Oday View PostI can't run no more

The pushoffs are definitely an issue. I was at the Miami game, and I watched Marshall push off the whole game while the ref just stood there and watched. I don't know if they're not calling as many of those this year or what, but it's definitely an issue.Originally posted by MichiganPackerFan View Postwww.ccso228@twitter.comComment

One never knows, of course, but this sure seems like a game that will be tough and close.
I wonder if it will be like last year's playoff touchdown-a-palooza."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Defense wins the day. The Packers are better. Plus, I don't think Atlanta has the #2 and #3 WR's that could cause our team problems (Saints come to mind). Their secondary is suspect, as is their pass rush. It'll be a close game because of homefield advantage. Packers win 31-20 with a late score to seal it."I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince LombardiComment

And who really thinks we beat the Eagles in Philly now that Vick is the starter?Originally posted by Joemailman View PostComment

Haven't really watched much of ATL this year, but if the NFL network pundits are to be believed, their secondary is not that good, despite the best efforts of the Cutler to Hall combo a few weeks ago.
Statistically they are:
9th in ypg
2nd-t for INT's
25th in YPA
28th in opponents completion %
Their run D is 6th in overall yards but they give up 4.3/carry.
Their offense doesn't have any gaudy ypc or ypa either but they are converting almost 50% of their 3rd downs on the year.
I would guess they are susceptible to big plays but their O is on the field quite a lot. They lead the league in total plays from scrimmage and are second in TOP.
What does all this mean? Hell if I know, I just like stats.Originally posted by 3irty1Comment

I think the Packers could beat them. The Packers had to face Vick in Week 1 for more than half the game after preparing all week to face Kolb. That's a tough transition to make. Besides, the Packers defense is playing much better now than it was then.Originally posted by channtheman View PostI can't run no more
