Think the Packers are a draw? They've opened new stadiums in week 2 the last 2 seasons.

I question whether the Falcons are better than the Seahawks. True, they have better receivers and better RBs and probably a better O Line. However, I don't see Ryan escaping the pass rush as Wilson was able to do so many times, and I sure don't see him running for yardage like Wilson.

Also, our Offense had a lot of near misses against the Seahawks. Some of that type of play should be successful against a slightly lesser D.

I think we go down there and beat them.

Atlanta had the NFL's #1 offense last year, and there's no reason to think they'll decline this year. The Packers offense, which seemed to figure some things out in the 2nd half yesterday will need to play a good 4 quarters to have a chance Sunday. I expect them to play better offensively than they did yesterday.

I think this game will be a Gem to watch.

Packers have 5th ranked defense in ypg right now. They'll go down now with Atlanta in atlanta. But damn, we're looking good right now!

And our offense wasn't as good, but Seattle is tough as nails so that will get better.


We'll see. It's a tough two games to start a season. I was excited going in to this season, but f we win in Atlanta I'll be ecstatic!!

I agree. MM usually pretty good at rallying the troops as an underdog. Communication on offense will be a challenge.

I refuse to believe Atlanta will be loud for a pro football game. With the roof open.

Guess we'll see.

[mraynrand]

Think at some point we'll have 8 defensive backs on the field?

We are...Penn State?

Who gets cut this week with Geronimo coming back?

[KYPack]

Mebbe Geronimo!

Seriously, they will have to look at Brooks or any of the guys that are last in their personnel group.

Yea, you aren't supposed to start 2-0 with those matchups and if we do, its something to be excited about.
