Official Week 8 Packers/Falcons Discussion Thread

[Harlan Huckleby]

I suppose it wouldn't work to get WIBA on the internet for those of us outside of WI...

WIBA uses iheartradio for streaming live and podcasts, and they don't have rights to Packer games or pregame show. You can stream from WTMJ website only - plus the oddball (unauthorized?) source that I mentioned.

Thanks, your secret is safe with me.

Pretty sure you cannot get the game online from WTMJ directly through their website. The NFL is going to ask you make a contribution.

Nah, they do let the flagship station in the PAcker network stream. All the other stations can't. I use it every week. Only occasionally is it too crowded to get a connection.

You can only use their damn player to stream, and it doesn't work in some operating systems (flash issue?). They don't provide links to stream through apps or internet radio. That's what got me to google searching for a link that can be loaded into an android app. The one I found that works may be a legacy resource that they neglected to shut down, it is not advertised anywhere.

ps, WTMJ does have a custom app to download, but don't bother, it never works at all during games, too crowded.

I actually find this very hard to believe. I believe you, but I have had the broadcast cut out on me as the game started. Maybe the rights have changed, I haven't tried it in years.

I don't want anyone to lose their fear of this game, but on a neutral site, the Packers are the Vegas favorite in this game (Falcons -2.5 in the dome).

Five Thirty Eight has the game at -1.5 for the Dirty Birds, with the Packers rated above Matty Ice in Elo, 1572 to 1547.

Thank you.

Mrs QBME and I are travelling to Atlanta for the game, as we pick an away game every year to attend. We booked the trip during pre-season and I've been feeling pretty shitty about it lately. Then the NFL flexed the game to 3:25 PM and forced us to extend the trip another day. (Get up for first flight out Monday morning and then go to work.)

So, yes, woe is me. Need some more reasons why the Pack will pull this one out.

PBMax - please start a thread and ruminate on the overall health of the Falcons, particularly Matt Ryan and Julio Jones.

They had a Packer Game Rally tonight in Atlanta QBME. Any chance you got to see it?

Did not hear about it. We're staying about 10 minute walk from the dome and it's crazy. Second night of Adele concert at the Phillips Center, national marching band competition, just nuts.

About half the plane down this morning was Packer folks.
Will send some pics tomorrow

oh goody

our shitty offense just got way shittier

cobb will not play today because of a hamstring injury (thats original)

and Ty, our new running back, is questionable with some illness he picked up this week.

edit, ty is expected to play now

Top 3 CB's out, no RB's, Cobb now out, the offense sputtering, and on the road.

There is no way I would bet on the Packers. In fact, this smells like a blowout by the Falcons.

[Pugger]

It's gonna be a long afternoon...

[Joemailman]

We got 'em right where we want 'em.

[pbmax]

Yeah, this is usually when things turn around mid-season!

[pbmax]

Wilde writes that Lacy might be back by late December. Anyone know when or where that info was reported?

EDIT: Originally read September, which would have been news indeed.

No worries about Cobb being out, we got replacement slot receivers Monty...er...Abby...er...oops.
