Packers@ Falcons- talk shit here

[sonnyblack65]

I can't wait for this game I could see both QB's having to put up 4tds each to keep pace O/U is 60 and Pitt/NE is 50.5

Atlanta could only score 36 on Seattle in their home dome and let them score 20 against them. Nothing more needs to be said.

YES because taking 3 knees at the Seattle 1 yard line instead of running it up means the offense couldn't score lol

And as was pointed out to Troy Aikman yesterday, it doesn't matter what happened in the first game.

ATL's win vs us in the regular season that was their SB.

I know that. This game won't be that close. Atlanta by 2 scores

 

[ATL96Steeler]

I fully expect GB to score 30+. They're going to need 40+ to win

If GB gives them some short fields...maybe, but aside from that, I'm not that bullish....30s I can see.

Now you're being silly...lol but this is the talk shit thread...sorry...carry on.

I'm thinking 38-41. There will be more possessions this game than last vs a worse D. Atlanta scored on 7 of their 11 possessions in the first match up so it's reasonable to assume similar if not better performance this time around. Green Bay did hold Atlanta to A FG 4 times last meeting so that's a key this time around. If 2 of those 4 possessions end in TD'S then that's 41. That's what I'm rolling with. 41-31

And I'm sure the Green Bay offense won't perform better than they did in the first meeting especially now that Rodgers is playing insane. Totally makes sense lmfao

 

[bksballer89]

The numbers across the board shows that this will be the easiest defense the Packers played in their 3 games. The Giants and Boys were better defensive teams.

Of course they will but it's unlikely that they increase their production to where they'll need to. Green Bay scored on 5 of their 11 possessions but scored 4 TD'S. If you assume they get to 6 scores they'll likely need to scores TD'S on all of them ( unlikely). Even 4 TD'S and 2 FGS is unlikely to get it done. The Packs best bet is Atlanta to shoot themselves in the foot on a few possessions leading to FGS instead of touchdowns ( much like the first meeting )

The matchup will be pretty much the same in the trenches, but every game is different. Capers would be foolish to trot the exact same scheme out this week and the same for Quinn/Smith....they have to throw some wrinkles in there....for me...I expect GB to blitz the A gaps to take away him stepping up in the pocket and force him to get rid of it quick....DAL had some success coming off the edge with speed against Rodgers...I would expect tp see Allen, maybe a CB coming a few times after Rodgers.

The only way to stop Atlanta is to create loss of yard plays. You're just not going to stop them from gaining 10 yards in 3 plays unless one of those plays is a negative. So yes they're going to have to blitz the pass and also run blitz. In the end I just don't know if it really matters. All that vlitzing is just going to leave guys on an island or leave backs open out of the backfield. We shall see though

I think we're saying the same thing...this game will be fairly close.

But...I think ATL's D has been climbing...better than DET, at least even with DAL...imo the Giants DEF was certainly better than ATL, but was not the same after JPP went down. The CBs are good, but not true lock down type guys.

Looks about right. It'll get bet down to 1.5 or 2 and the sportbooks will clean up

I'm thinking down to 3 which is the HFA advantage

Media is all on Rodgers nuts so most of them week will be spent talking GB AND people are stupid so they'll bet more thathan way. Could go to just 3 but I'm thinking it'll go lower. We shall see

Blitzing does expose your backend and they can't afford to have Julio singled too many times, but neither team can afford to rush 4 and cover with 7 the whole game...we could see another SD @ MIA Fouts vs Marino showdown.

Yeah that would be what I'd expect. Both these teams can and do score quickly as well so there's a reasonable chance this is a high possession game with could push scoring even higher than what I'm saying. A 45-38 type game isn't unrealistic
