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.

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.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Merry Christmas!

beast (9h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (17h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (22h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
