Official Packers-Falcons gameday thread

[NashuaPats]

The Rodgers apologists are already circling the wagons.

That's a fair analogy. He's great, but he's not Brady.

They've given up 2 TDs. So it's worked out absolutely no better than if they dropped 8-9 guys and kept everything in font of them and traded yards for time.

They were also able to contain a great QB basicaly score-less for 1 half with that strategy. Why would you change if it worked?

Not to mention that you're forgetting the small 20+ points lead that they had throughtout the second half. That surely didnt affect them at all

Well to be fair Tom, the Falcons did score 540 points (176 points above the league average) and are the 7th highest scoring offense in NFL history -- tied, ironically, with the 2000 St. Louis Rams! (aka, Greatest Show on Turf)

Atlanta also played a tougher schedule than us -- against some really good defenses

Gotta give them respect....they are straight up dominating this game

They played 3 top ten defenses and 4 more between 11 and 19.

NE played 5 top 10 defenses and 6 more between 11 and 19.

Not sure how there offense played against tougher defenses. I will give you SoS they played a tougher schedule but the Pats offense clearly played by far the tougher defensive schedule.

Alright going to our thread now.....really nervous !

 

[moejr]

We're doomed if we play Atlanta

 

[JayNM]

We're doomed if we play Atlanta

If?

Oh right, we still have a game.

 

[FourierSeries]

Falcons fans want the Pats in the SB.

Patriots or Steelers??

They don't seem to be very smart or knowledgeable based on their posts.

Because you win the game when the time hits 0:00. With a multi TD lead time is more important than anything else. You not only minimize the amount of drives he can have but also the number of turnovers that your offense can coff up.

"Alright guys lets play for pride!"...oh wait, your QB and favorite media boy is on the sideline. Embarrassing.

 

[mgcolby]

Happy for Dimitroff! But for this week only....

 

[luuked]

See you on the other side guys.. off to the hellmouth thread..

 

[Bill Lee]

Backup to Rodgers is in, it's officially garbage time, brought to you by Southwest, the official airline of the Green Bay Packers:

 

[Guts]

"GOAT" on the side lone after a ass whuppin. Brady dragged a 32nd ranked defense to the SB

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Congrats to the falcons and their fans. Time to see if we can join them.

 

[Pats1989]

My god was Rodgers overrated this week. You could see it coming a mile away...

 

[libra957]

This is how an offense is supposed to look like in the playoff. The Falcons played like a number seed, dominant all the way.

 

[ALP]

game went exactly as expected

now lets see if the AFCCG also does

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

That's how you get off the los. Beast. Only guy Im taking over him in last 20 years is Moss, CJ.
