Without even reading this I'm just going to say Rodgers is a pussy whipped loser! You hear me Rodgers!? You are a loser! Oh wait....I should tweet this right?

This is encouraging.

21 years old. Doing that to the best blockers in the world. We might have ourselves a player, especially as he grows into that massive frame.

Good find JH. Sure would be nice to have a difference maker on the DL. Makes the entire defense that much better.

After reading the articles about the injury report, I can't see how this team can possibly win this game. You can only do it with smoke and mirrors for so long.

Doesn't Jordy being out and Adams having a serious ankle sprain conjour up visions of last year's anemic receiving corps? Adams ineffective at getting open, Cobb unable to shake free of increased coverage? Sure, Jared Cook will help, but now Allison's got some kind of thigh injury, too?

And on defense, no Morgan Burnett practicing - so even if he plays, he's playing very hurt against the NFL's top-rated offense. And we're tossing an injured Burnett and Randall out there, with LaDarious "Thigh Bruise" Gunther, as the defensive backfield?

At a certain point, there is a tipping point, and this team has reached it.

If you're the Atlanta defensive coordinator, wouldn't you copy what Marinelli started doing in the second half, and run blitzes off the edge while playing rough with the receivers at the line of scrimmage? Montgomery's not a natural at blitz pickup - you could see that on a sack or two.

Cobb will not wear a mic pack this year.

He's a completely different style of player than Daniels. But we need that. If he becomes that big powerhouse we hope, look out. Our defense would really notch up if a couple of these young guys pan out! But damn, I want to win this SB and then another!

Very nice piece of film on Clark. He played well.

We're set up for a Reggie White-type healing for the game. Just watch.

Corey Linsley got driven into the backfield a few times in the Dallas game. Anyone know why? Is their NT dominant or an up and comer?

Or is Linsley hurt in any way?

[George Cumby]

You guys do know that the Packers are going to win this Sunday, right?

Which DL was it? David Irving had apparently been playing well for them ...#95.

Think it was 97 on the late game Monty run that was thrown for the loss. He wasn't the tackler, but he was nearly after getting through Linsley. Also saw him get pushed back versus the Giants.

[Sparkey]

They will win or lose based on how well the DLine, OLB's bring consistent pressure.

Matthews, Peppers, Clark and Perry are the key.

[Freak Out]

So it's possible Nelson, Allison and Adams won't be ready for the game? Talk about a Holy Fuck thread.
