BankerBird™ Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Alright, so, moving on to the next game...the Packers.I haven't confirmed this, but, I think it's unlikely that Rodgers will play, so that means Flynn again at QB for Green Bay. Given the penchant this season for the Falcons defense to make average QBs, like Flynn, look like Pro-Bowlers, I'm concerned about both our CBs matching up against Nelson and Jones, two of the best route runnders in the league. Oddly enough, though, Eddie Lacy doesn't concern me all that much as I think Worrilow, Spoon and Bartu will more than hold their own in containing the Packers running game. Quarless may be the wild card for Flynn on offense, so we can't forget about him.At the risk of ticking off some of you Clowney-ites and tankerphobes , I think this is a game the Falcons can and will win, especially coming off an emotional win against Buffalo yesterday. I look for Roddy, Worrilow, Ryan and A. Smith (if he gets the carries) have a big day. My only question is our CBs against their WRs. Unfortunately, we're gonna need to rely on DeCouldnt to give them some help over the top.Discuss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roddy played great, Jax was inspired, Antone and Quizz need more touches too, and the whole D played better for the most part.Love or hate our safeties we need them right now even with their flawsKinda brought a tear to my eye, then I got mad and said where the hel was this team all season?

jazzyburrell Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Let's not get carried away here. E.J. Manuel passed for 321 on us, that brings the total to 7 QB's who had their best game of the season against us this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'm not worried about the DBs, let's not forget they had to tangle with Roddy and Julio all off season. That's a big reason they have looked so good this year so far. They may get beat here and there but it won't be much. They held Brees in check not worried about Flynn. (S/N.. I'm being told that Rodgers is done for the season. He will probably go on IR this week). Thing that concerns me most is not being able to stop the run. We give up over 100 yards rushing in every game which opens us up to the PA. With WAR and DeCoud being aggressive safeties they get caught on dbl moves and PA a lot and that's all the Packers are really good at with Rodgers under center. If you can stop GB from running and run the ball on them they are easily beatable regardless who is at QB. I think we win this game not big or easily but it won't come down to the final drive.

TrufantIsland Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 If we could get a sack early in the game, Flynn would be terrified - unfortunately we let very very mediocre QB's play carreer games against us, wouldn't be surprised if Flynn goes for 30/40 with +300 and a couple of TD's without a pick..Our secondary is doing a nice job, but the front seven is at best terrible.. The only reason Worrilow looks good, is because the rest of the players suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit without Rodgers a hollow revenge victory. I also want to see a victory, because we have so many rookies that need to adopt the winning spirit of sorts. Plus I'm not sold on the fact that we will get Clowney with where we sit with our current draft position even with another loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachFalcon Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I think we should play every game tough; however, should lose at the end. There is no hope for this season, and picking those players at 1 or 2 selection in each round will benefit us better than a 6-10 season. You say what about pride, I say I'll be proud if we land Clowney and those early picks in each round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly_falcon_fly Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Just win baby ! I agree with what you said. It is quite possible to pull off another win, at Green Bay frozen tundra. Weather does concern me a bit. Falcons are afterall a fair weather team (kinda like most of the fans on the board). But we got a legitimate shot if weather is not a factor.

Clark Kent™ Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Let's not get carried away here. E.J. Manuel passed for 321 on us, that brings the total to 7 QB's who had their best game of the season against us this season!E.J Manuel passed for 210 yards bud. Did you even watch the game?As for the OP, Lacey worries me more than anyone else on that team. One of the best tackle breakers in the league and we aren't a strong tackling team. I am sure Green Bay is going to come out and try to establish the run game early. As long as we can stop Lacey then we will definitely win.

Herr Doktor Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 This will be a war. I Think our secondary will be solid. To me, the wild card is Flynn. How many QBs have we allowed to have career days against us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
