OFFICIAL WEEK 5 GAME DAY THREAD PACKERS vs DA FALCONS

I believe Freak was referring to the video of the Russian cat (the feline kind, not the cool kind) yelling NO NO NO NO NO NO for four minutes straight.

I watched it twice! Wow! Love the weirdness.

DD's done that his whole career.

I like the celebration, I didnt like that he was doing it after he should have ended the game earlier. He would have showed me alot more by surprsing us and going back to business.

OIC? Organization of the Islamic Conference??? Get outta here!

I'm sorry but fans complaining about Finley need to take their own advice and shut the F up!

Oh, so we cant say nothing now huh? Why is it that everything that you dont agree with is not a valid subject worthy of dicsussing? Can we talk about Cam "get right" Newton now?

Finley talks alot of shit. I like it but back it up! Rodgers fucking giftwrapped several throw only for Finley to drop a TD and a crucial 3rd down. Thats why I dont like that he celebrated the 3rd down at the end. He could have shocked us all and showed some humility. Dont get me wrong he is still loved but last night was a low point IMO. Never said that about any of his shit talking events either.

For once, I think I agree with Paco.

My guess is this week we won't hear Finley talk about not getting targeted enough. Time to let his play do the talking for a while.

I totally agree with you. I was very happy - as a Packer fan - with what the Falcons failed to do in the offseason. The funny thing about the team is that Matt Ryan doesn't really throw a good deep ball at all - except off play action. The takes away from Jones' effectiveness.

Haha I can imagine you were happy. Few teams were perceived to be on that upper level of the NFC and we, I guess, WERE one of them. We made a lot of moves but none that were very good, which is pretty uncharacteristic for GM Thomas Dimitroff to this point. Guess he thought he needed to make a big splash and it would put us over the edge or something... I don't know, but it's frustrating. Come to think of it, I haven't been too impressed with Dunta Robinson, either. He got away with a helmet to helmet on Driver... he's already been fined twice for it. SMH

I've had very few years to proudly say my Falcons were awesome. I savor them like uh...... good Falcons seasons lol...

I thought we had some brilliant spurts of playing above our head Sunday night on defense, but ultimately I think our defense just couldn't bail out an offense that kept on and kept on going 3 and out or stalling quickly. Genuinely thought we would get outright raped by that offense all game long, so I'm glad to some short extent that we led and kept it competitive into the 4th quarter.

Heard on the radio this morning that every time Green Bay has started 5-0 (like 6 or 7 times I think) in their history, they won a championship that season. I wish you guys all the success in the world, I really do pull for the Packers in every game but against my own. Hopefully we meet again in the playoffs... stinkin dirty birds have an uphill battle to make it, though.

Regarding Ryan, I totally agree... he doesn't have a Chad Pennington arm, but he's certainly not slinging it down the field either. He's got a decent arm, but he needs play action most of the time for the DBs to bite and get his receiver that extra couple of steps. Julio Jones is particularly good for our offense because he is a GREAT blocker and the running game is SUPPOSED to be our bread and butter. It just kills me how much we gave up for him.

Atlanta is an interesting team. A lot of people thought they'd regress this year. I looked at some of their talent, and thought they might surprise and still stay amongst the contenders in the NFC. Ryan is overrated but solid. Turner is getting older but solid. Gonzalez is still decent. The WRs have the potential to be good. Abraham and some others on defense. I thought their young LB'ing corps would take a step up. I haven't really watched them much, but it sounds like their OL and DL have not been good. They resigned most of their guys on the OL, but lost one of their starters from last year. Now, it seems like they are a little bit like the Vikings (albeit with a better QB). They have enough top end talent to fool you into thinking they are pretty good, but in the end their glaring holes offset the high end talent they have. I was wrong on the Falcons. I still think I'll be right on the Bucs, and that they'll regress a little this year before hitting their stride in years to come. It seems pretty clear now that the main challengers to the Packers will be the Saints and Lions.

Hard to disagree with your assessment there. I was not pleased that we let Harvey Dahl go AT ALL from our o-line... and we really didn't do much but move our backups into starting roles. Our LBs and safeties are about the only area I like, even though we really need another LB to lock down one of the will or sam spots so Sean Weatherspoon doesn't have to keep going back and forth to cover. Grimes is our best corner and 3 years ago he nearly got cut. Crazy how inconsistent our secondary has been since DeAngelo Hall temper tantrum'd his way out of town.

Vikings comparison feels very harsh to me, but it probably fits. I remember looking at our depth chart prior to week 1 and thinking man this could be a disappointing season, even commenting on it to one of my friends who agreed. I hope we turn it around and have a great season, but I won't polish a turd and pretend it's not a turd.

Madtown was behind the pacopete thing? Did he invent him just so he could ban him to set an example?

WTF??

Paco was either tank or some other nut job. I have never posted with another account. The "Joe" one was used for administrative stuff when RG was too dumb to do something.

In the future can you be more blatant with your stereotyping so you don't confuse the old geezers around here?

That was a joke, after Harv called you Paco.

A dirty birdie huh? Man we could have used you last January.
