I'm fairly optimistic when I look back on the first meeting. Hard to believe but health wise we are probably better off than we were the first time. Offensively we were missing TJ, Cook and Cobb, Monty, our running backs were, Don Jackson and Knile Davis and Rip. Even without Jordy we are stronger in the receiving end with both Cobb and Cook playing. Running we are better off with Money, Rip and Christine.

Assuming Burnett is able to play we are no worse off defensively than the first time either. Clay was out and so were both Rollins and Randall.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

The Packers have taken down Dallas, NY, Detroit, Vikes, Bears, Seattle, and Houston. That's 3 Division Champs, 5 teams with winning records, and the Vikes at 8-8. Atlanta has faced two teams in that span with winning records going 1-1.

The last four teams GB has faced are 41-23. For Atlanta it's 19-45. We are battle tested and ready for the Falcons who have not seen a team playing at this level for a very long time.

The Over/Under is 60 or 61 on most books. Highest ever. Shootout indeed.

8 Oct 30 GB 32 @ ATL 33
9 Nov 03 ATL 43 @ TB 28
10 Nov 13 ATL 15 @ PHI 24
12 Nov 27 ARI 19 @ ATL 38
13 Dec 04 KC 29 @ ATL 28
14 Dec 11 ATL 42 @ LA 14
15 Dec 18 SF 13 @ ATL 41
16 Dec 24 ATL 33 @ CAR 16
17 Jan 01 NO 32 @ ATL 38

So GB played in atlanta and lost ... barely. ok they beat TB - tb is ok, lost to philly which philly is a tough team to beat at home; beat az which is a decently tough team, kc beat them which kc was great this year expect in the playoffs 🙂, then the last few games they had it really easy ... LA, sf, car and no - basically a walk in the park.

The "heart attack Pack" is taking it's toll on me.
Could we please just have a comfortable win this week.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I guess he slowed down because he signed with the Chargers, but they cut him after the pre-season. But James is doing a lot of charity work for kids, so I'm sure he's a happy guy outside of football. He's got a Super Bowl ring and a family that loves him. Not bad for a guy who spent the first 15 years of his life living in parks and homeless shelters in the San Jose area. He was a winner on the field and he's a winner by helping our kids. Kudos to JJ. 👍

    wpr (18h) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
    wpr (9-Apr) : yay
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
    Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
    Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
    Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
