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 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. 👍

    Mucky Tundra (15h) : *winning MVP
    Mucky Tundra (16h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning
    Zero2Cool (22h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.
    Zero2Cool (22h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022
    packerfanoutwest (22h) : pro bowl
    Zero2Cool (22h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl
    Zero2Cool (22h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.
    packerfanoutwest (22h) : it was always after the SB.....
    beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago
    beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?
    packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
    Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
    beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
    beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
    packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
    Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
    Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
    Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
    Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
    packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
    Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Philly DL has come to play
