The Packers are likely to put up 24 points in the second half. The problem is so are the Falcons.
While the team has wet the bed with a few errors, the ass-kicking is happening because they are thoroughly and utterly decimated injury-wise on defense.
Shyt happens.

Well, maybe 42-17.
Okay, 45-44. Money Crosby.

Nope
There's really just nothing you can say when everything is going this badly. It's not even worth getting upset about so I just kind of drift into apathy. I guess it's better for my blood pressure that way.

So you'd rather be the Vikings, Bears, Cowboys, Lions, etc.?
The other guys get paid too.
This team should have been to the SB more than once under MM with one, if not the best, QB, of all time.
We can still do this.
Clean things up and get a stop or two and we are right there. Falcons haven't shown they can consistently run the ball so Matt will keep dropping back.
Every drop back of his is an opportunity for us.
It was a TD.
But whst we're seeing is what it looks like when you have street FAs in primary positions in the secondary. None of them were supposed to be out there. You can't win like that.
But that's a half. There is another half to play, and this game is funny. One play can shift it. The problem is whether there is a player on the defense to make it. 3 dropped interceptions and a fumble that was in Ryan's hands. A missed FG and a fumble. Make plays that are there for you and it's a totally different ballgame.
Need to get the the 15th round to have a puncher's chance...
ATL has had a full season of breaks and luck in one game - this one. Only thing missing is a failed onsides kick.

I'll believe it when I see it and if so have the CBs follow him out the door. They SUCK as well. Too fking slow.

Technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct

Artis,
I'm not mad or angry when I'm saying this, but this game is over.
I'll still watch because I'm a fan. It sucks to get this far and not make it, but this is what happens to 31 teams every year at some point.
325 yards on 5 possessions. Jesus.

Time for Clay and Pep and Perry to just damn the torpedoes, BTW.

To allow an easy completion to a wide open player? Or?
artis posted:This game ain't over
Yes, they have 30 minutes to put up another 24 on us.
It's unfortunate to see the run end like this, but Ryan is no joke and all the hype and coverage this week has been about Rodgers and the Packers. Ryan has a huge chip on his shoulder, this is the Georgia Dome's last game, and Ryan is the MVP.
They spent all week planning to embarrass Dom's D and stay out of the limelight. Their focus is paying off.

This. Just too many injuries.
There's still 30 minutes. We get the ball first. We WILL score.
Now can we cobble together enough guys and a plan to get a few stops to get back into this? Not sure, but I am not giving up!!!

Save that for the next 2 years if TT and DC remain in GB. We've been saying this for the past 3 years as well.
Capers needs to go, that's clear.
There is arguably no better NFL GM than Thompson.
I actually have a lot of respect for what TT has done. However, I don't want to miss out on younger talent now. If Dorsey/Wolf are willing to wait it out - then maybe that will be OK. I cannot imagine TT extending his contract. I also believe there is some truth to the TT reluctance to improve through FA and the frustration that causes MM. Having said that, TT must ,look at the DC defense over the past several years and know that is not acceptable. 31st pass D in the league is on full display today.
