Rodgers is not playing this week.
Packers win.
With that defense and Rodgers being declared out .........
Gonna be quite cold, so Packers win.
No reason to believe they will win...even at home. They're pretty injured still, especially on the OL now. Until they prove they can win without Rodgers, I'll stick with the opponent.
Falcons 20
Packers 13
Oh ye of lil' faith.
All bad things must come to an end and Atlanta is the perfect prescription.
If GBP has over 100 yards rushing and no TOs, they win.
Packers 27, Falcons 13. Lacey scores on a screen pass, and Shields shuts down their best receiver.
I think this is a winnable game for GB. Atlanta has a terrible run and their pass rush is the worst in the league. Flynn will have more opportunities to complete passes.
Packers 24
Falcons 20

Please, MM and his team hate the cold as much as Ari. or Mia. It's been a long time since the cold helped the Packers win.
ATL may be the one other team in the league as beat up as GB. They were the 1st team officially eliminated (last week) from the playoffs. I can see them rolling over in the cold and snow if GB can get the early lead.
GB has had a history of making ****.q teams look good these past few weeks. I fear Atlanta wins, 24-17.

That's a mighty big IF.
42-12 Packers. Lacy stubs his toe on EDS' fat face on the first play and Khalil Bell comes in and runs for 534 yards and 6 touchdowns.
Random predictions:
* Due to injuries, McCarthy mixes up the offensive line with Newhouse as the starting Center. He whiffs every snap.
* In an effort to show improvement with special teams coverage, the Packers tackle Micah Hyde inside the 10-yard line.
* Flynn throws a bullet pass with such velocity that a mild breeze is able to suspend it in the air for 5.3 seconds.
* MM runs Lacy up the gut against a rare 11-man front. Lacy picks up 4 yards.
* First injury of the day is a neck injury to Jonathan Franklin who violently shakes his head "no" when asked if he injured his neck.
* First Falcons injury is to Matty-Ice after Pickett triple-dog dares him to lick the flag pole, ala "A Christmas Story."
* Following the game, TT defies league rules and trades a first round pick to the Falcons for practice-squad QB Seth Doege due to success of both the Favre trade and a fondness for Texas Tech quarterbacks. TT has no comment when informed he could have signed Doege directly off of the practice squad.
* John Kuhn touches the ball, the crowd shouts "Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn!"
* A Packers tight end will drop a catchable pass.
* A.J. Hawk will make a tackle 8 yards downfield from the line of scrimmage.
* Jordy Nelson will defy his TravelWisconsin ad and wish he was in Kansas.
* Mason Crosby will kick the ball into the upright.

And after the first Falcon drive for the a td, the Lambeau faithful's BOOOOS could be heard all the way to Eau Claire
bad form. I never boo the GBP when at Lambeau no matter how much they deserve it.

Had the early lead vs DET. Had the early lead vs MIN.
No reason in the world to believe that Dom and crew will resemble even a reasonably competent NFL defense but I'll go with a hunch.
Pack 24
Falcons 21
The season is still alive for this team and they are desperate. That's a good combo.
27-17 Pack
Really cold will slow Falcon charge who will still play with more passion than our check cashing dog defense. It will be over before the half.
Was it over when the Germans, bomb......Whoops wrong thread.
If the Pack can move the ball on the ground and have no more than one turnover, they have a good shot. I'm going to say the Pack wins this one 24-20.
I predict I'll be enjoying myself in Cancun. NFL f you
What is going wrong in Atlanta ? They are Hurt but no were near as bad as the Packers. Are completely depended on those 2 big receivers they have that are or were hurt? Or are they playing a tuff schedule? Or has missing their starting tackle hurt their o line really bad?
Screw the injury card. Other teams can win with them. (New England. It has to do with pi** poor evaluation of talent and coaching

Oh Falcons 24 Packers 14. Nostradamus has predicted
I've been known to misquote myself occasionally.
I never give up on the Packers and always will watch regardless of their record. Saw many seasons with bad losing records over my years as Packer fan.
Packers win this game 42 to 24

In a nutshell, injuries decimated the Falcons as bad as it did the Packers, Texans, and a few other teams this season. Where they differ is their lack of depth.
We're likely to see a team similar to the Packers; a turnstile OL, and very little to no production from the TE on offense; a weak DL with little pass rush, no LB production, and a secondary that can't cover on defense.
Most, if not all of the Falcons' woes are self-inflicted; stemming mostly from the picks they gave away when they drafted Julio Jones. The Packers' backups are way more talented, although they sure haven't been playing up to their potential.

Yah ever wondered about the unforgivable sin? Well, that's it! Booing the Packers at Lambeau! I am with you on this Tdog. However, anywhere else, they get what's coming to them.
What is anyone going to do if **** goes all wrong? Seriously?
We'll be Packer fans.
Hope is all we'll ever have.

Guys on NFC Playbook were talking about this game and Shaun O'Hara was brutal to Flynn (without naming him) implying the Lions weren't even trying to disguise their blitzes, ran the same one THREE TIMES and Flynn never checked out of it. Also how piss poor both offensive lines have been, with numerous examples of idiotic play. Showed a play where the Bills had seven on the line and dropped all but TWO blitzers, and those were the outside edge guys who got home. Doubt that Capers will do anything that innovative.
Defense actually shows up. Lacy and his offense do enough. 17-10 GB.
Tolzien breaks a bunch of ankles scoring a TD, one is his own
