Game ticket....there's no cover to get in the bar the rally.
TJ's is a great deal more fun than watching at home.

Every time I see that NFL Play 60 commercial with Falcons guys on a bus with a cool tune playing in the background, I think the NFL wanted this team to go to the Super Bowl this year. The refs will probably lean the Falcons way on the close calls.

I predict Arthur Blank having absolutely no rhythm at all will doom them in the playoffs, but I'm willing to wait and see how it plays out.
This game, like all the Packer games this season, will come down to whether the Packers make that mistake in the game that costs them points or gives some to them. Looking back over the last several weeks, it's the common denominator:
- against Philly last week, a drop by James Jones allows Philly to remain in the game. The drop had a carryover effect, as the next Packer possession ends in a sack/fumble by Rodgers.
- against the Bears, a drop by Jennings on a sure TD allows the Bears to stay in a game they had no business staying in.
- against the Giants, the Packers allow an early 14-0 lead to evaproate in the 2nd quarter on a pair of long TD passes. James Jones drops a sure TD bomb in the process.
- against the Patriots, the Packers allow a 70 yard KO return by a OL to erase their first half lead, and ultimately costing them the game.This play also had a carry-over effect- the next Packer possession ends in a pick-6 form NE, giving them a lead in a game where the Packers had completely dominated them.
- against the Lions, an early drop of a sure TD bomb by Jennings prevents a score and gives life to a Lions team bent on the upset. The missed TD opportunity cost them the game.
You can go through every game and see that "whoops" moment that cost them something. When you are literally a play or two from winning every game you lost the whole season, you better know that now that you're in the playoffs, you have no room for error. It still didn't prevent them from damn near letting a game they dominated to slip once again from their fingertips last week. I am sure the veterans like Woodson, and Driver- these guys know this year they really have at a SB Championship. When you are so good that you are able to sustain the injuries and still only be a few plays every loss from winning against the best, you know you have a shot at winning it all. This Packers team has enough to win it all. Now. They just have to go out and get it. Take it.
So does the Packers D, with a now healthy CMIII (he wasn't against the Falcons last time around) have the ability to wreak havoc on Matty "Ice"? You betcha... it'll be the difference in the game. The Packers proved that they can play with the Falcons in a ball-control game. They showed that even when they're not 100%, they can go into their building and play them even. Now they're 100%, they're a better team, and they'll prove it. They just gotta make the plays when they come to them. I think they will, this time.

Great analysis Music City. It comes down to what coaches say that three or four plays determine a ball game's winner. It's true. Here's hoping this new focus for the most part will be enough to get us to the Super Bowl, which I really want for Driver, Clifton and Woodson.
Patty and I both think the Pack will lose and we both hate Ted Thompson.

Could be a lot of empty seats on Saturday. With a predicted high of 46 degrees most Atlantans will probably want to stay indoors huddled around their electric space heaters.

I can't really buy any conspiracy theories in this game. Like the one thread on the first page...the NFL would love to have Packers/Bears in the NFCC game. Packers/Bears game 1 and Steelers/Pats game 2 are the dream matchups.

Could not agree more. I suspect the loss of Vick may have reduced that desire. No rating boost from Vick coming back to Atlanta.
In a world all about the money and ratings Chicago/Green Bay is now the hot ticket.

Oh really, after every bad play? Let's see, from what I remember I made one somewhat negative comment about the half they played against the Bears - the first half. And they didn't play a great first half, so I fail to see how it was "whining." If you like cheering bad plays, you're entitled to, but last I knew a forum was for discussion and opinions. We all go through ups and downs during the course of a game, because for most of us fans - some to a greater degree than other - it is emotional and the game thread reflects that.
The comment you singled me out for was amongst a sea of people making negative comments. And because you have something against me personally you follow me around starting a bunch of bullschit like you just did again, so I think you should move your snide personal attacks and comments against me to the PM where they belong. Otherwise, STFU, stop starting schit, and keep it to football discussions. You want to disagree with me fine, but it doesn't call for a personal attacks. And don't act surprised when you get what you give in return. Don't start none, won't be none.
The circle is taking a beating this week...
I agree with others that a healthy CMIII and Starks may have been the difference in the first game that we lost by only 3. I believe they will be a difference in this game as well. Not only that, but maybe the Falcons get a little overconfident because of their home record. And, we're playoff-hardened and in a groove. The Falcons are going to shake off some cobwebs from being off a week. If we can jump on them early, they're not the type of offense that's going to come from behind very easily.

Tight game all the way, but Rodgers has a great game and the defense finds just enough to hold off the Falcons at the end. Someone else said it on 540 here in Milwaukee: if they win here in the ATL, they'll be in the Super Bowl. Mark it down.
