Yeah, it's gonna be hard to get a real read on this team until they play 2-3 more games. After the Lions game we should know.
I do like the OVER. I liked the Over vs. The Bears too. Not touching that spread. IMO, Falcons should be favored by 2 not underdogs
If the Packers dominate the Falcons they will really be favored over the Saints

Kind of like Rodgers first season after he started 2-0....RIP
@ilcuqui posted:I don’t know why it would be weird with Jordan. Bakh is close with AR but he knows what a flaky drama queen he is too. If anything David probably respects Jordan a lot for how hard he’s worked and how he’s handled the drama. If 10 has made any missteps team-wise they’ve certainly been buried. Other than Aaron Jones it doesn’t look as if there’s anyone more popular among the players.
Do you communicate in your relationship☺️
@Dave in GA posted:Any Aaron Jones updates?
Yes.....it's not serious
😁
Honestly, I'd rather have him rest one week (fake turf in Atlanta) if it helps heal the hammy.
We'll see on Fridays injury report
We’ll see if it’s the Falcons or Failcons on Sunday.

Cool..thanks.
@BrainDed posted:Pack is now 2 point favorites and O/U is 40.5 at William Hill.
Not gonna touch it, still don't know if the Pack is better than I thought or if the Bears are that bad.
The more I see from the game, the more I think the Bears are that bad and we underperformed by not putting up 50 on them.
Kind of a tight game in the first half which was probably due to not giving the ball to Aaron Jones. As soon as that guy touched the rock, Bears had no shot and no answer.
I don't want him injuring that hammy worse in Atlanta - marathon not a sprint.
I saw the line dropped to -1.5.
Let's see if the Packers defense has some more takeaways - they were +2 vs. The Bears and MLF mentioned it in the locker room after the game so it must be a focus for them (takeaways)
Would ne nice to see Watson out there this week. At the very least be out there for the season opener. I'll be there and I want to see the team at full strength!
Minus Stokes, I guess...
Stokes won't be available till after the bye. (PUP)
As long as Billy Ray Valentine...Capricorn. keeps locking down #1 WR's it gives Stokes more time to get healthy.
Practice news/updates:

Returned to practice:
Henry Pearson (p/s)
Not practicing:
Christian Watson (warmed up, worked out outside)
Aaron Jones
Quay Walker
David Bakhtiari
Eric Stokes (PUP)
Luke Tenuta (IR)
There was no sign of Aaron Jones during the portion open to the media.…
Christian Watson has a helmet on and is catching passes/jogging/doing agility work with a trainer in the rehab area during media viewing window of practice.

Aaron Jones is not present.
Quay Walker is present but working with strength coach while still in concussion protocol.
Must have been a bet..

and nothing new from me, I want a crushing. GBP 35 - Falcons 21. ♥️ 💚 💛
It's ok if Jones isn't practicing.....
- He's a vet. Doesn't need to practice on a Wednesday
- Rest that hammy
- Fuck the turf in Atlanta
I actually want Jones inactive for this game. The only thing that helps a hammy is rest
And the turf in Detroit and Chicago and Minnesota
Well then..
Matt LaFleur was asked how many times Jordan Love didn’t run the play that LaFleur called against the Bears.
— Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) September 13, 2023
“I don’t think there was one time.”
Matt LaFleur on Aaron Jones' hamstring situation: "We're going to give it through the course of the week before we make any determination on him."
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) September 13, 2023
Matt LaFleur says "we'll see" if Rashan Gary is still on a pitch count Sunday after impressive return from torn ACL last week: "We're still going to be smart with him. We have a long road in front of us."
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) September 13, 2023
When Gary was on the field, he played like his hair was on fire.
Pulled quite a few hammies and it’s probably a good 2 weeks of rest and treatment to ensure he’s OK. I wouldn’t play him this week IMO. More important for the Detroit game as divisional opponent.
MLF: {shrugs twice, palms to the sky} yeah he's in the protocol {shrugs again}
🤣😆
What do they want MLF to say? The concussion protocol is run by the league

I can't believe neither of them pulled a hamstring. Boy would the shit have hit the fan if that happened.
ATL scored 24 vs CAR.
17 off turnovers.
Other TD they started from their own 44.
Play clean football and make ATL sustain drives.
Need solid games from Joe Barry Carroll's and Pistachio's groups.
@ilcuqui posted:... Just checked my cable provider in the DC-Virginia area. Hot damn, they’re showing the game! Guess it’s that Jordan Love effect 😉.
...
I feel it in my toes.
The great equalizer in this game is giveaways. Do not turn the ball over.
Meanwhile.....how about the defense getting a couple takeaways from the Failcon offense?
Finish in the PLUS category like last week (+2)
Wanting to see how they cover Pitts and stop Bijan Robinson.
@antooo posted:I feel it in my toes.
Who's thinking "Love, Actually?"
Heard some good points on Podcast this morning crossover edition.
- Stop the Run (Bijan / Tyler A)
- No turnovers
- Pressure on Ridder
ATL offense is running game.....and both those guys are really good. They're going to try and pound the rock and protect their QB from having to throw it. Packer defense needs to bring their A game vs. The ATL run game.
Love had a few throws vs. Chicago that could have been intercepted. Gotta clean that up as I expect some different looks from the ATL defense. They pretty much played it straight up vs. Bruce Young. I will be very surprised if they do the same vs. Love and the Packer offense.
ATL knows they don't win without a couple takeaways so I expect some aggressive defense in spots that we haven't seen so far. Un-scouted looks.
Can't leave this game close because ATL has an excellent kicker. Don't want them to steal one.
Play a clean game and the Pack should exit ATL with a 2-0 record.
Rookies also need to be running correct routes. As seen on the tape Love makes a lot of anticipation throws, throwing before the receiver gets out of their break, so if the receivers timing is off, rounds their route, pulls up, etc, that can easily cause an “off target” throw even tho the ball was placed where it was supposed to be.
That said I’d rather have Love make anticipation throws instead of waiting on a WR to be open like Fields did. Waiting doesn’t work in the NFL.
I don't think we have to have no turnovers, I think we just need to be at least +1 in the TO margin. And probably more accurately, limit the points they get off TO. I don't think 10 will throw two picks, but if he did, and they got zero points it's not that big of a deal.

We have no idea what the severity of the injury is. He could be anywhere from a couple days to several weeks or even more if it is severe, which it didn't appear to be sunday.
Quay Walker back at practice. Hasn’t officially cleared concussion protocol, but he’s progressing through it.

Aaron Jones and Christian Watson both stayed inside after stretch when team went outside.
David Bakhtiari also not here.
Here are Jordan Love and AJ Dillon: pic.twitter.com/Au1P7069Yl
