While our secondary has struggled, a lot of that blame should go to lack of pressuring the quarterback. When receivers are able put on double moves and run around, finally breaking free with the quarterback having maximum time, our secondary will continue to get torched. This is not the case with the Falcons. Their offensive line is just terrible and I think Capers is going to take full advantage of this, putting Ryan on his back a few times. Defense gets 2-3 turnovers. π
On that note, while we all harp on our defense...Atlanta's defense is terrible as well. I can't imagine what Rodgers and Co. are going to do to this defense. I am assuming Bulaga and Grant are going to be back? Bulaga gives us better pass protection (Newhouse did a good job filling in) and Grant gives us a better run game. Add Finley into the mix since we didn't have him last year and there is just no way their defense can stop the Packers offense.
Packers- 35
Falcons- 24
