We pretty much shut down Adrian Peterson in THEIR house. If we do the same to Atlanta's backs, and put pressure on Ryan, we will be OK.

I do expect it to be a close game, but i think we will win.

Only the actual game will tell if the Falcon fans or Packer fans were right.

What's the old saying "It's not who you play, it is when you play them"

The Packer team that lost to Miami and Washington, is not The Packer team The Falcons will face.

This in no way is going to be an easy victory, but if The Packers keep playing the type of football they have shown the last 3 games, they should come out on top.

!. Win turnover battle
2. Keep pealties to a minimum
3. Outplay Falcons on special teams

Book it. Sam Shields will take one to the house on Sunday!!!

I think it's funny that people still think our O Line is so terrible... Also, this is a great thread and I really appreciate the guys that go get tid bits from opposing teams forums!

I think the biggest difference in this game will be that Rodgers is now clicking with his receivers and Atlanta has problems with pass defense. This is the one area where there is a little seperation in the two teams.

I also feel like if Atlanta had a hard time getting in the endzone against the Rams it will be even harder against us. We are very good at holding teams to FG's in the redzone.

I think looking for that elusive "complete game" against us is asking alot.

I thought the "homer" award goes to the guy pointing out wins against the 'Boys and Vikes but failing to mention the shutout against the Jets in what has to be the best defensive effort by any team all year.

Overall, they express concern and show respect basically the same we give to them. It should be a heck of a game. If we play the way we have been we will win but that's a hard standard to hold with the level of play recently so high.

I'm with you for the most part but I'd have to say that having a complete game is all about you and really doesn't have anything to do with the team you're playing.

about rodgers clicking with his receivers ... its too bad finley is out; used to love his throws to the 6'5 dude (way over the heads of the puny 5'10 corners) ...

should be a good game ... I agree; stay on white and stop their run and we should do alright - IMO our Passing O is much better then their D.

This is without doubt THE game of the week in the NFL.

It will be tough nay VERY Tough being an away game.

We have to score early and take the crowd out of the game.

If the Falcs abandon the run early we will win.

It is way too close to call for me so no score prediction this week.

At the start of the season looking at the past 3 games Jets, Cowboys and Vikings and then considering this game as the 4th in the run I would have put this as the easiest. Now without doubt it is the hardest of the 4. How the season can change.

Definitely a great game this weekend with the potentiall to have a lot on the line. I think the fans might be overlooking the OL a bit but I doubt the team will. Protecting Rogers will be key but Clifton and co. will be able to do it. I think Abraham is the only serious threat. With a little time our receivers will hurt them bad.

Last week my wife suggested we go to Atlanta for the long weekend and take in the game. I married well.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Funny how Tramon's named didn't get mentioned even once. They're in for a big surprise when Tramon shuts Roddy down completely.

Matthews on Clabo. Clabo is very solid, I'd rather have Matthews facing Baker to be honest.

We can't allow their run game to get going. Turner is pretty damn good, and will open things up for Ryan. But we've limited great backs in the past and I hope we will continue to do just that.

Their young secondary can't handle our WRs. Dunta Robinson isn't what his free agent deal hypes him up to be. The other guys are young and make some mistakes, though we have to be wary of Brent Grimes' ballhawk-ish ways.

Nobody knows him yet. He's had hot/cold years up until now, but as I told a co-worker the other day...Tramon Williams is going to be a household name after this season if he continues this kind of play. He's playing better cover-corner than I remember the Packers having in a long time. Dude's just straight ballin' right now.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

If we play as well as we have been we will win this game. Atlanta is a good team but if you look at what they have done the most impressive thing is "escape" with wins against the two high quality teams they have played against Baltimore and the Saints.

The Saints missed a 29 yard FG in overtime and Atlanta scored a TD with 20 seconds left to beat Baltimore so they have been living very close to the edge against the good teams kind of like the Jets and we took care of business there.

I think we are finally playing the kind of defense that will hold Atlanta off if they have to make a comeback to win. In the past I couldn't have said that. It's almost like two different seasons from when we lost those two back to back. Seems almost like that was last year or something.
