Can the Falcons knock off the Packers at home this Sunday? I see GB is -1.5 even in Atlanta so they're the decent favorite even on the road.


They need this game. A 2-0 start is crucial with probable losses @DET and @JAX to follow. I think they get it.

Huge advantage for the Jags. They play over there every season. They're used to it.

Wonder how many pounds Ridley has on the game.

Just saw a picture of ole Calvin Ridley and I see he's embraced the full on dreads look. Cute.

Defense has looked amazing to start, Ridder not so much

Ridder is not good. Can Heineke be worse?

Same ol same ol for the Falcons.

They probably have the roof closed too on a beautiful sunny day.

I suppose so the Packers fans can sound louder.

fricking Arthur Smith with the balls of steel with that call on 4th and inches with 2 minutes to go. I absolutely love it.

This team is fun as shite and Ridder just grew up from the first half to that second half, and Bijan might be the best back in the game already.

Ridder was awful in 1st half but something seemed to click in 2nd half. Offensive line was wearing out the GB DLine and LBers after they got gassed.
That was a style win we haven’t seen ATL do in a very long time. They usually blow the leads, not come back and win.

I honestly don't know if I have ever seen better hands from a running back. He looks like a wide receiver.

I’m sure he has dropped a pass before, but I can’t remember one. As I’m sure you have noticed, his ability to make guys miss is ELITE, one of the best I’ve ever seen. It’s too bad our OL mostly sucked while he was here.

If he can stay healthy, he has all the talent in the world.. but the best part about Bijan.. he is an even better person off the field.

A rare breed these days.

I hope so, but am not as confident as you are.

QB is holding the team back currently.

I was at the game. Watched the replay later. Ridder looked way better on tv than he did in person. He wasn’t seeing the field at all.
