I think the Falcons will be desperate and they have some impressive offensive weapons, especially if Julio Jones is able to go along with Calvin Ridley. I expect a shootout type of game and agree with former Packer James Jones... Atlanta wins this game by a few.
Packers protect Lambeau. Packers 38 Dirty Bids 27.
A crushing I say......BIRDS 24 - GBP 28. I
I'd like to see a game with a low score. Means the Packers were able to grind it out with superior TOP instead of letting Atlanta throw all over the place.
I want Matty Ice throwing it all around. Could be about 3 picks for the Packer DBs.
I want to see all 4 RBs on the field at the same time, all in the backfield. Then 1 motion out (Ervin or Jones) before the snap. Defensive response dictates run or pass.
I wanna hang a 50 burger on them just for that long ago comment from that since fired coach: "They were the better team tonight."
Both defenses likely will suck, but our DBs mean that ours will suck less.
Both offenses may be prolific, but ours is much more so, especially if Adams returns.
Packers 34 Falcons 31
Or Packers 41 Falcons 31 if the defense gets a score during the game.
Only if Adams returns.
Establish running game + convert 3rd downs - turnovers = sure win
Enjoy the games this week boys & girls. I'm guessing very few teams will be playing week #5 due to Covid-19 & regular byes.
Falcons are also down their kicker Younghoe Koo.
There goes my Falcon 1-point victory prediction.
Saints with a positive test now. Are we going to have a Falcons game?
Nvm, Saints player negative on subsequent test.
Even if positive we would play if no Packers have tested positive ..... just like Vikes are playing this week after playing infected Titans last week.
I think its getting pretty clear that the NFL is going to have to change their business model fairly soon here to keep the season going. I have no idea what that looks like but I've heard about some kind of tight bubble as well as pausing the season for two weeks. PFT mentioned something about a shortened season where each team plays a divisional opponent only once, etc.
It does seem like the only resort for containment is deny contact with EVERYONE outside of the organiztion. It would mean sequestering every player, staff member, and all employees who come into contact with them. Could it be done?
You would need to have an area that has several fields in a nearby surrounding and basically play games every day of the week. No fans, players can't leave. I think it could be done if this area exists?
I think they should definitely do it for the playoffs. At the end of the regular season, every team that qualifies goes into a 2-week isolation bubble before the first game and stays there until they are eliminated. Then play every week (no break before the Super Bowl). If you did it this way, it would only require a 5-week isolation to get a Super Bowl in (since the 4th game would be 3 weeks after the two-week isolation).
You wouldn't need multiple fields as there would only be 4 games the first two weeks, and 2 and 1 after that. You'd need a complex big enough to house 12 teams and have access to about 6 practice fields (assuming each team would share a facility with another).
The NBA has shown this can work. I don't think the NFL can do it for the next 3 months, but 5 weeks is practical. They just have to somehow get to the end of December to implement it.
Problem is the fields would have to be inspected and approved for NFL play.
Remember preseason in Canada a couple years ago?
Desperate Falcon team upsets depleted Packer team :
24-17
Tshmack passes out at halftime and doesn’t hear of the loss until Wednesday
Lovepack and Wolfpack kill each other in argument over who “called this loss first”
Gravedigger explains loss in 5000 word post.
Henry kills Y.A. just to watch him die.
Blair buys Henry’s new snuff video.
Chongo marries ammo in X4 Odd Couple episode—-that has nothing to do with the game, I just wanted to announce it.
So what are the odds this game ends on Monday in Green Bay? They keep pushing it back half an hour. Good thing some of our resident old farts moved West.

A healthy dose of game management, all rbs getting touches and tight end-centric passing game. Not like there's much choice in the matter. But we got to see Tonyan and Jace catch balls in stride a week ago. Anything from Lewis is icing on the cake. Even without Adams, MLF can scheme these guys enough to move the chains. Dominate TOP and keep Matty Ice off the field. 24-20 Pack.
You ain't getting me into any menage.
I think ATL is going to score a lot of points. I don't think GB has the horses to keep up.
D gives up points but Rodgers and a few role players show up big.
Pack stack the TEs and run it, then burn Dirty Burds with play action.
Pack continue downward points spiral but win 34-27

I agree. Missing your top 2 WRs against a desperate team is a recipe for an upset. If Julio Jones wasn't back, I'd pick the Packers, but unless they run for about 250 yards, it's going to be tough.
