This team is AMAZING

I really think this was a statement game. To go on the road against a playoff team in primetime, a team that circled the date on their calendars as a "payback" game; to get down by 14 after the first two drives (including on turnover on the first possession); to lose the most experienced lineman on offense and then have to move one 1st year player so a rookie can come in; claw back into the game with FGs and then really take over the game in the second half; it showed their never quit attitude.....that was a STATEMENT to the rest of the league.

This game showed the Packers experience; it showed their depth; it showed their ability to make adjustments; it showed their maturity and moxie; it showed their composure; it showed their skill and ability to dominate when when needed; it showed their brilliance in coaching; it showed their veteran leadership; and.....

It showed the rest of the league why the Packers are poised to make another Super Bowl run!!!

Way to go boys!! Savor the game for a day or two and get right back to it!!

Funny how much we've been hearing about the Lions coming back on the Cowboys, and the Vikings the week before.

Think we'll hear half as much about the Packers? The Cowboys sucked last year, and the Vikings were worse. The Falcons were the #1 seed in the NFC last year. They might not be as good so far in 2011, but they had a 14 point lead with 6 minutes in the first half. Then we came out and dominated them...in Atlanta, a place where the Falcons "don't lose".

I think the Packer comeback was more impressive than either from the Lions. Romo started throwing pick sixes. The Vikings collapsed. Detroit's winning was more about the other team falling apart. In this game, the Packers came out and punched Atlanta in the mouth, and left with the win, outscoring the home team 19-0 in the second half.

Even at less than their best Packers are still impressive. Rodgers hits 12 different receivers? A true TEAM. Michael Irvin (ug) on NFLN spoke of being in GB locker room and how they're having fun and enjoying each other, "reminds me of us" (Cowboys). Deion: opposite of Philly locker room.

The Lions have erased 20+ point deficits twice this year. That is doing something. That said the Pack got some nice accolades for the Falcon game as a whole, and AR was singled out in a couple Mike & Mike In the Morning segments this morning. A lot of the same things were said there that are being said in this thread - including injuries, AR & MM finding a way, how the defense tightened up. Yup, MM got some kudos too. Way to go Pack.
