Great game yesterday! I was in St Louis for the game. I have to say I’ve been too many, many away games and outside of our division opponents this was the most ATL fans at an away game I had ever seen.

We all need to travel to at least 1 away game per year and support ATL on the road!!

To our fans in Houston and elsewhere, get Directv. I live in CT and watch all the games on Directv for just $250 with the NFL Sunday Ticket. Of course you have to have Directv which my wife hates as the only reason we have it for 365 days a year is so I can watch probably 10? Falcon games. (I travel 2 see a couple of games and a few are on national tv) BUT WELL WORTH IT MY FRIENDS!!!

Falcons keys to winning (as usual) vs the Pack:

#1 – Running game – Turner needs to get going. We expect the passing game will show up – that’s a given. If Turner breaks 100 yds, we win.

#2 – Defense bending but not breaking.

#3 – Special teams continue to improve on last week’s showing. We can’t afford to get beat (badly) in the field position.

#4 – No turnovers. Been playing very smart and basically mistake-free football. If we do 3 of these 4 keys, we win!!

If we do only 2 of these 4….we could get beat.

GO FALCONS!!

This is a statement game. If we win and beat the media favorite Falcons then we will finally be noticed. If we lose then we will hear from the national media (and a couple of media people here, guess who) that we have to many holes to make it the big time this year. Bottomline, if you want to make it to the NFC championship game, this is a great way to start, beat the Pack.

How would that be a joke? And I think I have figured it out. Atlanta has jobs, great weather, beautiful women, mountains, ocean, etc. We have a great quality of life and are generally happy people. Which northerners and midwesterners equate to us being terrible sports fans. If it’s a beautiful 70 degree Sunday afternoon in November and and the Falcons lose, it’s cool. I’ll just do some work outside and hang with my family.
I would rather be a “bad” sports fan and a happy person, than someone who is a “good” sports fan and just a miserable ass. And your post backs it up.

This is a statement game for the Birds. As for all the Packer fans saying that we have only beaten sub par teams. Look at the Packers and Vikings. The only reason that game was a gimmee was the Vikings quit on the coach . Everyone can say that we are lucky and not good. That’s fine with us because we are 8-2 and for once , we have a chance to be happy. Just because the media doesn’t love us and every week we have the opponents fans on here doggin us out and on Monday they are gone like the wind, who cares. If you are a true Falcons fan and are going to the game like I am, then RISE UP and show everyone that we deserve to be here. Only one person , John Clayton picked the Birds to win the NFC South, the true division , not the NFC East or NFC North. I’m not predicting a blow out , but it’s gonna be one helluva game. Beware Packer fans , we are not the Vikings….GO BIRDS ,,,RISE UP.

I think what Coach Smith is talking about is that he wants all Falcon fans in their seats before kickoff to get the place rocking early. As a season ticket holder, I am bewildered as to why the stadium is only half full at kickoff. A lot of fans start to trickle in after kickoff. He wants everyone there early to pump up the volume. Leave the tailgate early this time.

Seemed ok for the Ravens game. I had about the worst seats you can get in the stadium in the upper corner 2 rows from the top where it is usually vacant and quiet and it was skull crushing loud and a heck of a lot of fun. I hope everyone gets there early for this one too.

Ok, I have been dead on with every pick this year. I new we would lose to PIT and PHI, although I must say that I didnt think PHI would kick our butts that bad. We have to be balanced on offense. Give Turner the rock 30 times and let Matty air it out a lil bit. We have to get on them early, which we don’t do often. Our corners have to play well. Jennings is lights out and its time to see if Robinson is worth the money. I’m sure he will be doubled all game. They do a lot of run formations that they pass from. It really confuses the D. If we can get past them then we have a amazing shot to go deep into the playoffs. Here’s the pick…go ahead and place your bets, its guaranteed. 34-31 Falcons. I almost don’t want to pick the Falcons cause I know im gonna get one wrong sooner than later.

I was there for the Thursday night Baltimore game, and I have to say that was the most intense atmosphere I have been in for a sporting event. It was crazy. The trash talking, in good nature, with the Baltimore fans in the stands and on Marta. Folks were into it on the train, in the parking lot, in the dome.
We do have a tendency to be a bit reserved, so get an attitude before the game and be that 12th man bird fans.
We can’t afford any hiccups early on D, and we don’t need to go 3 and out on the first possession. No early momentum to the Packers.

I don’t blame it on people being in church. I think not being able to drink beer in the bar until 12:30 is the problem. People have to take that last 30 minuntes before kickoff to get a few beers in them befroe they have to pay $7 a beer at the game. They should lower the beer price to $5 for the first quarter and I guarantee that everyone will be in the stadium on time.

The short history lesson for this week:

The Green Bay Packers are an American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. They are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL) and are the third-oldest franchise in the NFL.

The Packers are the last vestige of “small town teams” that were once common in the NFL during the 1920s and 1930s. Founded in 1919 by Earl “Curly” Lambeau (hence the name Lambeau Field on which the team plays) and George Whitney Calhoun, the Green Bay Packers can trace their lineage to other semi-professional teams in Green Bay dating back to 1896. In 1919 and 1920 the Packers competed as a semi-professional football team against clubs from around Wisconsin and the Midwest. They joined the American Professional Football Association (APFA) in 1921, the forerunner to what is known today as the National Football League (NFL). The Packers are the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States.

The Packs defense gets a lot of pub, but compare the yardage.

Packers……………323.4 (12th)

Falcons……………339.5 (17th)

16 yards a game is not much.

Falcons offense averages 24 more that the Pack per game. Very close. IF averages held true, the Falcons gain 8 more yards than the Pack.

Close game? Special teams be the difference?

I have to say that I have been surprised by the Falcons winning this season, but I think this will be an L. Green Bay has probably the best group of wide receivers that you will ever see. They are fast, strong, and very aggressive so they snatch the ball out of the air, rather than allow teams to pick them off. A Saints win this Thursday and a Falcons loss on Sunday will make for a great matchup December 27th.

The Packers, for what it’s worth, look like the best team in the league to me after 10 games for a couple of reasons. The defense has gotten early instability settled; coordinator Dom Capers has figured out the right personnel combinations, and the corner combo or Tramon Williams and Charles Woodson — who has turned into the kind of leader a head coach dreams of — is playing as well as any corner tandem in the league. Green Bay’s allowed 10 points in the past 12 quarters. The Packers shut out the Jets at the Meadowlands. In the past two weeks, they didn’t let two bad teams breathe.

Offensively, it’s been about Rodgers’ dominance — 75-percent passing, seven touchdowns, no picks in the past two weeks — and about the rediscovery of Greg Jennings. A few weeks ago, coach Mike McCarthy saw how Jennings, a legit number one receiver, was being overlooked in the offense week to week, and he began to emphasize more plays for Jennings, more shots for him as the primary target. And he’s exploded since then. Check out the difference in Jennings’ first five games and his second five:

I’m retired Navy and have been to Atlanta multiple times (down south in general)…I’m sure your hospitality will be great, as usual.
It’s gonna be an exciting game…that’s for sure. Good luck.

There is more to do here then put Cheese on our heads and eat Brats. Plus, I’m never ever late to my seat. In my mind if your not at your seat for the National Anthem you’re late. And missing the N.A. is worse than skipping Church. Trust me a lot of praying goes on in the Dome as it is.

Yea, the Taints fans are, well, just odd. They hang here all season long and make us miserable. I believe we are jaded by them. Actually, from my experience, mid-westerners and Southerners are very much alike (just not the Chicago types.)

…nothing wrong with the bears; I often pull for them when not playing the Pack.
Problem with the bears is their media and fans.
Obnoxious sorts.

Me too FALCONS FAN since day 1 – 1972 moved from ATL to Miami to be repo man for a Bank group – now in Texas. Cheeseheads always were pretty decent folks during the early days when they came to the games at the old stadium. Also the Packers usually during the old days back then kick our a$$ on a regular bases. This time around I beleive you’ll find a formidable oponent, Falcons should more than cover!!! Don’t mis-understand barring no serious turnovers, on either bench, straight-up the birds should handle this game “NO PROBLEMS”!

GO FALCONS

Um, if you are 8-2 and playing a game that could determine home field advantage and you need to tell your fans to show up and be loud you have a pathetic fan base.

Kurt,

We have a stupid downtown stadium. As much as I would like something else, this is what we have. So, yea, I would like a stadium “out in the country,” where folks could leisurely come in and tailgate and make it for kick-off. BUT WE ARE IN A MAJOR METROPOLITAN CITY, and it is just different. It is “studio” football. Networks love it. So folks have a hard time on Sunday morning.

Doesn’t make the team any worse, and gives no rise to discouraging our coach for pepping up the fans. Jeez, did you go to high school?

Just come back after the game, if you can “man-up” to it.

As a Packers season ticket holder and St. Paul resident, I represented Sunday at the Metrodome. Atlanta Packer fans, it is your turn this weekend – be loud and proud! I haven’t seen many Falcon games this year but from the little I’ve seen and from what I’ve read, it sounds like you have a terrific team. I’ve been to Georgia a few times (family cabin in Blue Ridge) and have always been the recipient of your Southern hospitality. Thanks for that and GO PACK – turn the Dome Green and Gold!!! By the way, Fudge Packers, GB Peckers – very clever, creative and adult of you.

Meredith,

I apologize for my crudeness. All of you, except for one, have been very gracious on our blog.

We have been turned bad by the Saints bloggers that have “tainted” us by their……….oddness.

Atlanta fans are usually better, and we welcome you in for a great game.

Thanks for the welcome, Falcon Jim. Considering there isn’t an historic or even recent rivalry between our teams, I expect and hope for a more friendly, respectful banter. I understand your rivalry with the Saints and expect the Packers rivalry with the Vikings is similar (and sometimes distasteful). It should be a fun and well-played game between two good teams. I will always, ALWAYS have a soft spot for the Falcons for beating the Vikings in the 1998 NFC Championship Game. : )

@8:10……..I wasn’t talking about you codsack. I was referring to the former Falcon’s QB, that now plays for the Eagles.
I could care less if DOL bans you or not. At any rate, we have been reading your comments, under your other names that you use on these AJC sites.

Final thought, listen to the preaching on the radio, on your way to the game, it’s almost as good as going to a formal church service, and I really believe that The Good LORD will give you credit for it.

Go Packers. Packers play better when it counts. I feel a good blowout coming. Atlanta is not being respected because they are winning games at the last second of games. Such the same as the Jets. Clay Matthews in Matt Ryan’s face should = turnovers. Good luck Atlanta!

Hey Matt, not only should the Falcons even bother to show up – maybe we should jus declare the “CheeseHeads” are the greatest and end the season NOW? However i soooo doooo hope you will join us this Sunday evening after the game? Please come and be ready win or lose to give YOUR profound explainations of “WHY” you were right and “WHAT HAPPENED” on that last second opportunity, as we ALL would greatfully appreciate your “Walking Book of Knowledge” input. Ask the “Ravenous” lovers how well does “CROW” taste.

Jim, give him somewhat of a break he did say in the begining “In the words of John Fecenda” – without committed full blown pligiorism. Fairly good articulation i must say. I still enjoy being a “Redneck” though – i have found each day brings a new way of learning there are plenty of us that still know and beleive we are incompetent and there is more to learn.

Count on me coach! I admit, I am late every Sunday because my church does not let out til noon. But I will change my routine for this Sunday and go to the 7:45 AM worship service so I can be on time for the game. This one will be tough, so we will do our part from the stands and you guys do it on the field.

Besides, I feel if I miss church service for the Falcons game that God will punish the Falcons with a loss just because of me. I know, weird, but isn’t the game of life weird at times?

Incidentally, D. Orlando formerly covered the Green Bay Packers for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Be that as it may…this is going to be one heck of a game. I’d bet on a 1-3 point differential either way when all is said and done. Both are very good teams and, I believe, the non-victorious team will be the one that puts the ball on the turf. Hoping for a good game, no injuries to either team – I’d hate to see either of these teams handicapped in their playoff hunt by injury…the Pack have already been decimated (9 serious contributors on I.R. – including, I believe 5 starters.) Seriously good game coming up folks. If you’re a fan of football … these are the match ups that you look for.

Well, they’re doing a helluva job rebuilding the franchise, this is for sure.

Back in the day…the 70’s and 80’s…when whatever it was the guys in Green and Gold were playing on the Hallowed Ground was gawd awfully pathetic year-in-and-year-out, it was virtually impossible to get tickets even then. My group of die-hard tailgaters and borderline drunken fools, used to be in the Lambeau parking lot at 6 a.m. for a noon kickoff WITHOUT TICKETS. Haha.. we’d run a couple of 2×6’s between two vehicles, set up a TV with a generator in 10-degree weather and watch the game on TV from the parking lot-just to get the sounds and smells of the stadium. A couple of times it actually got cold out there and we’d become chilled – in those days, the Lions and Vikings actually played outside.
