Falcons - Packers Game Thread

[ickmule]

Atlanta playing like rabid dogs. So much for that hangover everyone kept talking about. Baring injuries these dudes will be hoisting the Lambadi this season.

Yeah but it's a loooong season. Injuries can strike the Falcons hard and then we'd be in business.

Falcons been amazing at avoiding injury bug

This matchup is a disaster for GB. Substandard, undisciplined secondary and OL missing starters on the outside. Not really indicative of either team's strength relative to the remainder of the league, however. 

Well put.

ATL has a good edge rush, with GB missing both tackles it was a recipe for disaster.

ATL has some swag after this.  Gonna be tuff to bring down.  Our D is much much better than the Packers tho.

Still shows the Falcons are still good on both sides of the ball.

But agree Green Bay is a bad matchup to gauge what the Falcons are. I mean once upon a time last year the Vikings were considered sure contenders.

Falcons are firing on all cylinders 

 

I am ready to see a shake up in Green Bay. I know there were talks about McCarthy being on thin ice...wonder if this game could be the last crack.

We have enough talent to hang in their with Atlanta, but we'll have to generate turnovers. They're just too explosive. You have to make them pay for taking chances on offense.

You think our o-line will do any better ? I don't.

I obviously don't disagree haha. Keep in mind we barely eked out a win @ Chicago last weekend though.

Colinsworth just hit ATL with a nasty burn lol

6 weeks to get ready for this team.  They are a great team.  Carolina has the potential to be great.  Should be fun.

Better than this display by GB?  Yes.

ATL ain't blowing us out this year.

Uh oh Beasley with the hammy

The falcons have always been good at home (not because of the fans eff y'all) since they play faster on the turf. They even mentioned last week that the team seemed slower on the grass in Chicago.
