How could I have forgotten about Foster! +1 by way of apology, old man.

It's really a credit to the members more than anything.

For what it's worth, this comment made me very proud.



We can always use another smart fan ya know Ice2White. I do believe the name Rodgers2Jennings is available. 😉

I know right, I can't think of anyone who has taken the Lions games more seriously than I have. Most say 'gimmie game' I say, its a division game and its gonna be tough, Lions play us tough at all times.

I'm gonna go pout in a corner. :pottytrain2:

Lions are for real from here on out. Vikings, not so much. Detroit nabbed alot of talent in the last draft and their new coach is the real deal. They need their QB to come back.

It's not easy to come on to an opposing team's forum this shortly after having such a good season end so harshly. You've been a class act in the weeks leading up to both matchups between our two teams and you didn't gloat when Atlanta beat the Pack in the regular season.

As the other forum members have said I hope you stick around at the very least for when the Falcons and Packers play each other as they seem destined to be doing a lot in the next few years.

You guys should be proud of how far your team has come this year. I wish you the best of luck in the coming seasons

(but seriously, talk about class...your post is "it")

Ice2White - some other members suggested this and I wanted to say it too - stick around. I enjoy a lot of posters from other teams, specifically a guy named Formo who's a Vikings fan, Vikesrule who's a Vikings fan, our resident Bears troll Polargrizz (like him or hate him, he's pretty funny), and SNAP, a Giants fan who came around back in 2007 before we lost to the Giants.

Would love to add you to that list. I enjoy reading your posts.

A few comments about your team - Roddy White and Michael Turner are playmakers. I hated seeing White open. I had White on my fantasy team all year and he performed admirably. The guy's got elite talent.

So does Turner. Turner scares me because he turns 2 yard gains into first downs consistently. He's a beast to bring down.

As for Ryan, I think his age showed. He was used to letting his teammates make the big plays but when our D started to take them away, I think Ryan forced things. Yes, I know. He had no choice.

I wouldn't put Ryan in elite status just yet. He's got some more maturing to do.

Now on to your D, it's pretty dang good. It's not that your pass D is flawed, it's more Aaron Rodgers is showing that he may be the hands down best QB in the NFL. You had how many sacks on him where he either juked or downright broke the tackles then went on to complete passes?

Your DL beat our OL all night long. Your DL > our OL by far. It's not even close. You stopped our running game. James Starks is a tough guy. He's the guy who can walk into a bar and exclaim he's the toughest guy there and everyone else will continue drinking as not to challenge him. Yet, you guys managed to stop him. Gotta give you credit there. Your D has what it takes to keep you in the Playoffs for years to come.

So, you got a good team. I also like your KR. That guy's also a playmaker. If I'm not mistaken, he's in the Pro Bowl. He's really good.

Thanks for the well wishes. Please come back. Enjoyed your posts.

EDIT: Whoa. Forgot to mention RaiderPride. I often forget he's a Packer fan 2nd. 😉

I agree. I've felt that our secondary was improving and underrated for some time. Last night didn't feel like they were playing poorly. It just felt like Rodgers was unstoppable. Our safeties are second and third year players. They're both talented, but they need a little more time. One of our linebackers is a rookie and another is a third year guy, and we've started a rookie at DT all year. I, and probably a lot of other Falcons fans, believe the Falcons need to acquire a left defensive end that can get consistent pressure on the quarterback.

They'll also need to replace Abraham at some point soon, but we may or may not have that player in the organization already. The Falcons drafted an extremely talented but raw defensive end a couple of years ago out of Richmond, which is division two I believe. We're all hoping he'll take over Abraham's position when he's gone. Either way, I don't believe Beirmann is good enough to continue being our starter at LDE. He had three sacks all year, and if I'm not mistaken they all came against the Browns and the Panthers. Other than LDE, the only position I could see us acquiring a new player for is linebacker, but then I don't know the coaching staff intends to keep Mike Peterson or not.

But yeah, that was the fifth ranked scoring defense that the Packers just lit up. It's young, but more talented than most realize, and most teams can't hang 50 on them. Rodgers is unbelievable right now.

Ice2White, I just checked, we have more room for you. Feel free to upgrade that dirty bird for lambeau leap!


Okay, I'll lay off on that now, hope to see you around even during non Falcons/Packers weeks.

Glad you gave props to us. You are a true sport and i am glad to see fans like you on this board.
