Do you guys realize who the falcons played? They played the lions, tampa, kc, and panthers. They beat the 0-3 lions, lost to tampa by 15, they beat a not so good chiefs team, and lost to carolina by 15. Michael Turner had his great games against the lions who allow about 200+ yards a game(32nd) and the chiefs that allow around 176 yards a game(30th). So my point is Turner was only affective against poor running defenses. Now for the packers our defense has faced 2 of the top rb's in the league, Marion Barber and Peterson. So you have to keep that in mind. The vikings are 6th for rush yards a game, cowboys(13th), tampa(9th), and detriot(31st). So the packers d has faced some decent running games. So i think the only chance the falcons have is if the packers d cant stop turner and norwood but they would need a very big game from them in order to win.

This Packer team needs to prove themselves to me as well as a lot of other fans. I've lost a lot of confidence in them. For one thing, it's hard for me to imagine them stopping Michael Turner. So I'll say Falcons 27 Packers 24.

Incredible.

Very disappointed with the football team right now. Rodgers played his heart out with a banged up shoulder and nearly put the team on his back to victory. The defense played terrible and the fact that we couldn't contain White in the 1st half ended up hurting us greatly. I expected Turner would have a good game, but I didn't think it would make that type of impact that it ultimately did..

edit - Also, that hold by Jermichael Finley that put back that 43 yard field goal really came back to haunt us. I just realized that.

There's no joy in having predicted the score of this one. The Falcons are one of the worst teams in the league, but right now the Packers are playing even worse. It's incredible how quickly they have fallen apart. When opposing RB's run into the Packer defense, it's like they are running into a pillow fight. And the O-line is just plain horrible. Spitz was the only O-lineman who avoided embarrassment today.
