This isn't so much meant to be a knock on them as it is a compliment to the Packers.

The Falcons certainly can run the ball well, are very efficient on offense, and have a bend but don't break defense and are considered along with the Eagles to be the best team in the NFC.

The Packers just played toe-to-toe with them on the road, and there's a chance that the outcome could have been different if not for the Rodger's fumble, or challenging the Gonzalez non-catch.

The Falcons don't scare me, and neither does anybody else. That's the kind of year it is. It was a great game, and they made one more big play--or one less big mistake. However you want to look at it. Hopefully the Packers will get a chance at them in the playoffs.

We can hang with really good teams, even after losing so many players. That's a good sign.

It irks me that this team is now 2-12 in games decided by 4 points or less in the Rodgers era. Any time the offense ties it up with under 5 minutes to go, I shrug my shoulders and chalk it up as a loss, because Capers simply retreats into a soft zone and watches helplessly as the opposing quarterback marches downfield.

He didn't do that today. He blitzed just about every time when they got the ball on the 50. I liked it, Matt Ryan just torched us.

You're absolutely right. Of course part of the reason why he torched this defense is they had been pounded with the run all game and not only were they tired, they had to account for the run even though they were passing.

Either way, I have no confidence in this defense to get a stop between the 20s when it really counts -- even though they seem to be surprisingly good on the goal line.

The Packers shouldn't fear any team. They're a 10-12 win team in my opinion. So is Atlanta.

If they play again, I suspect it'll come down to coaching and crucial play in crucial moments.

I guess I do fear them a bit, because the Packers didn't show an ability to stop their running game.

Agreed.

And I actually think that our DT's played a great game....It seemed like Raji was in the backfield just about every play. Turner gained most of his yards when cutting it outside and breaking the tackles of our linebackers or DB's.

Yes, I had no problem with the tackling up the middle -- though he certainly broke through his share of times. It was along the edge that our DBs seemed to have no clue. They were so intent on stripping the ball instead of getting the ballcarrier down. I'm far more interested in fundamental football than flash and glitz.
