Falcons -4 Over/Under 60.5

What a shootout this should be. The 2 QB's combined for about 9400 yards and 78 TD passes and 14 INT's in regular season. Rodgers had perhaps his best game ever in the playoff game at Atlanta in 2011 when he went 31-36, 366 yards and 3 TD's.

Jordy Watch:

After the game, receiver Jordy Nelson, who sat out because of broken ribs, said he was doing much better, but could not say for sure he would be ready to play in the championship game at Atlanta Sunday.

Over/Under 60.5

I wonder what the highest over/under has been in the playoffs...this one has to be up there close.

DOM should get huge credit for a clutch play call at the end and his first half performance. He did a good job with this scat unit holding Dallas to what they got

Atlanta offense is going to tear this unit apart

It's been a good run, but the table isn't set up for us to win next week.

Win the turnover battle and we could come out of there with a two week rest followed by a Super Bowl birth in dallas. But yeah, this is the hardest game on the docket. Davonte isn't going to be right. So we're down our top wr and our #2 dinged bad with a qb who relies a lot on trust.

Whoever we get in the SB is going to be easier than this one. But we have a chance.

I could see Montgomery having a big rushing day in Atlanta too. Run the ball well, play good special teams, win the turnover battle. It's just one game. We could do it and the next one will be a break in the schedule.

Ease up on the Packers defense. Lot of good young players there. Had some tough injury luck, but they're getting experience and healthier at CB. Burnett will be back. I think it was a deep quad bruise. He'll be fine. They're not that bad. Good pass rush. Good DL. Excellent safeties and the corners are just getting healthy. I think you underestimate our talent.

Dom is doing a good job winning with young guys too. It's a whole team effort.

Not to nitpick, but when we were up 28-13 midway in the 3rd quarter, and McCarthy started running the ball to kill clock or whatever, losing momentum, wasting a couple of possessions, etc., I was beginning to get pissed off. I'll give him credit for a great game plan and good play calling early, but that reversion to taking his foot off the gas nearly lost the game.

Agreed, Dom did a damn good job, and a lot of our D players held their own individually against maybe more talented O Linemen, WRs, TE, etc. Even though Elliot gashed us for a lot of yardage, he didn't break any big ones and didn't sway the game.

Maybe some dumbasses who were all doom and gloom before this game will be the same against the Falcons - in what should be a slightly less tough game hahahahaha.
