Official Packers vs. Falcons NFC Title Game Discussion Thread

Where do you find that, smudge? Very interesting to see ar doesn't throw over the middle. I mean, it seems that way, but this proves it.

We're in the NFL version of the Final 4 again!

Atlanta has a lot of weapons indeed, but:
1.) Dallas had a lot of weapons too and it was hard to see how we could possibly even slow it down
2.) We've played this team before (at their place) when we were in our worst slump of the year and still almost won
3.) I'm still sticking with the opinion I've expressed the past few weeks. I think it is very hard to beat a good team twice in a season and the Packers are a good team with a great QB.
This is why I actually feel better about playing Atlanta again instead of Seattle. We just beat Seattle a couple a weeks ago so it would really be a tall order to do it again at their place right away. It's not like having to beat the Bears twice or some crap team like that.

Assuming that we're actually competitive, if Atlanta manages to beat us again then I'll feel like they earned it just like I would have felt that way if we lost to Dallas.
Even with our erratic D, I'll be surprised if we're not competitive.

Being realistic, we were the underdog against Dallas and one more time on the road against Atlanta. I think all teams are equal but we're on the road, so underdogs. Anyway, win this one and stay relatively healthy and we won't be underdogs again. We'll be a fortified by fire Super Bowl favorite.

[RashanGary]

Gosh this is a big game. I just can't believe we're a win away from Super Bowl.

[RashanGary]

I hate to say it, but I kind of envisioned that game against Dallas. Hard for me to envision beating Atlanta with Davante dinged up and Jordy out. We gonna go Cobb, Allison, Cook, Ripkowski and Monty as our main 5?

[RashanGary]

Beating Atlanta will come down to pass rush, turnovers and finding a way without our top two WRs healthy. Adams is fucked up.

[RashanGary]

Get through this one though and we'll have a healthy, fresh jordy and Adams in decent shape and everyone else along with it. The defense will be so much stronger with a rest week.

[RashanGary]

Man, I hope we win it this year. We have so many good young players who will be better next year and we shouldn't lose much. We have a chance to make a special run!

Any update on Rawlins? Still concussion protocol, but nothing else? Also anything more than a sprain on adams?

Rollins as of end of week was still in protocol but practicing close to full. He is on last step or two.

MM's PC today said they felt positive about all the injuries from yesterday, but would have a better idea Wednesday. Even Jordy "worked out" today whatever that means.

MM PC:

Practice schedule won't change much. Some players with more media responsibility because of high profile game.

Jordy was able to do everything they wanted him to do in weight room today. Don't know if he'll practice on Wed.

Not major concerns about Burnett. Will know more Wed.

Gave Rodgers credit for orchestrating play and protections on last drive. Said Rodgers has menu of plays and protections to choose from.

Where the hell is Fritz? I need to know why I shouldn't even bother watching on Sunday.

He is trying to rein in his disappointment and gather the strength to post.

[King Friday]

This game is a complete crapshoot in my mind. Neither team has any defense...both teams have crazy good offenses. If you want to know how this game is likely to play out, stick a tape of this year's Rose Bowl in your VCR and hit the button with that looks like a sideways triangle.
