Can Rodgers and the Pack really win this weekend?

Pete from Woodstock : 1/20/2017 11:14 am
I know this guy is playing lights out right now. BUT his WR's are SO banged up. Nelson broken ribs, will he even play? Adams, I can't believe nothing in that foot/ankle is broken, will he even play? and rookie Geronimo Allison has a hammy. That leaves Cobb, Janis and Cook.

Can he really beat the Falcons? I can't see it. He might get the balls there but can these other WR's (Janis, Davis) catch them when they really need them to?

Thoughts?
Yes

They can easily win. They just need to score at minimum 1 more point than the Falcons.
Yes.  
AcidTest : 1/20/2017 11:18 am : link
But I think Atlanta wins.
Sure, easily.

Firstly, if this is a la 2010, The Pack will win it all, imo..

Secondly, it's not a question of if Ryan will choke, rather it's when..This is for the SB..Too big a game for him, imo...😜😜😜
And btw, if Ryan doesn't choke,

I will be delighted. Anything that keeps Double-fuck out of the SB will be super!
If I coached Atlanta....  
HoustonGiant : 1/20/2017 11:31 am : link
I'd get the kickoff and pound the run. This is the only difference in the match-up. Ryan and Rodgers can both throw it, only Atlanta can run.
No, the can't.  
Renton : 1/20/2017 11:37 am : link
In fact, no reason to even play the game.

Chuck Q : 1/20/2017 11:38 am : link
Packers the only team on the board they will give NE a challenge - in fact I think they win it. Rogers is magical right now.
Is this a serious question?  
arcarsenal : 1/20/2017 12:13 pm : link
The Atlanta defense is not good and Rodgers is playing at a higher level than anyone else in the sport right now.

Not only CAN they win this weekend, I think they will win.

I think it'll be a really good game. And I don't mean to totally discredit Ryan or the Falcons offense which has been excellent all year long. But Rodgers just looks like he's on a mission right now.
I don't think Atlanta punted  
giantsfan44ab : 1/20/2017 12:15 pm : link
In the first half against Seattle. The Cowboys defense was able to get stops against GB. From what I've seen last week I don't know how GB competes against Atlanta but I'll never "discount" Aaron Rodgers.
Of Course  
Trainmaster : 1/20/2017 12:18 pm : link
but I'm rooting for them to lose more than any of the 4 teams still alive in the playoffs.

Atlanta wins by.....  
Tom [Giants fan] : 1/20/2017 12:30 pm : link
10.
Yes they can  
JonC : 1/20/2017 12:32 pm : link
but I suspect the injuries on their defense catch up to them.
...  
ColHowPepper : 1/20/2017 12:45 pm : link
Trainmaster, that can't be true, rooting for them to lose more than the Hydra headed monster in New England? Say it ain't so.

Jon, and as Pete said in the OP, AR's receiving crew is hanging by a hospital gown thread.

Unlike many, I enjoy seeing AR excell because he's a virtuoso talent, and his receivers, relatively unsung as many of them are, really can catch (ahem), but they are really, really banged up.

I did think that when Hall blasted Nelson, with DRC down, that would turn the game our way. Barely a hiccup.
Of course

It will be another one of those,  
Doomster : 1/20/2017 12:56 pm : link
who has the ball last, with enough time....
GB  
blue42 : 1/20/2017 1:35 pm : link
is on a roll....I don't like the falcons defense.Nelson may play as well.High scoring game but the Packers win easily.
i think

rodgers is getting all the attention but are failing to point out that matt ryan is actually playing better over the same stretch of football

When they played in Atlanta Week 8, the Packers had a bunch of key players on the Inactive List. They only lost by a single point. I think this weekend they have a solid chance.

I'm hoping Olivia Munn makes a post-game appearance.


They have a game to play  
djstat : 1/20/2017 1:58 pm : link
so of course they can really win.
Does a team get t NFC Championship game  
joeinpa : 1/20/2017 2:48 pm : link
And not have a chance to win?
Packers are banged up all over their offense  
djm : 1/20/2017 2:51 pm : link
I have been saying all week ATL wins a close one. It won't be that close. Packers are dead this week.
I love ATL  
Ron Johnson : 1/20/2017 2:52 pm : link
this week. They have everything working. Even if GB was healthier they are not going to stop the ATL offense.

one of the best parts of last weekend was watching Richard Sherman get abused by Julio Jones.

GB just can't match up
I think it's a stretch to say Adams has something broken in his ankle  
MetsAreBack : 1/20/2017 3:03 pm : link
We all saw the play - he sprained it. Whether it's high or low grade I don't know ... He came back out and finished the game. Then it swelled and those are tough to play on as WRs - bottom line is he's not going to do much this weekend ala plax in SB42
In case you have not noticed the Green Bay receivers whomever they  
joe48 : 1/20/2017 3:49 pm : link
Are know how to catch the ball. They did not miss a beat against Dallas and that most likely continues against the Falcons.
NO  
Rflairr : 1/20/2017 4:04 pm : link
I don't think this game will be close. They won't be able to stop ATL at all. And ATL isn't as bad on defense and as people think.

I agree, Atlanta wins this by 8. I just get the sense that its their year.
They can  
WillVAB : 1/20/2017 11:04 pm : link
But injuries are not in their favor. Top 2 WRs banged up along with a banged up and shitty secondary.

On the ATL side, Julio and Gabriel practiced fully today without limitations. That offense has way more weapons than GB can handle.
I would be very surprised if atl won

Rodgers is hungry for his 2nd ring  
JerebilJ : 1/21/2017 8:25 am : link
I don't see him losing, even without Nelson. His defense will ensure the games are close, but if he has the ball in his hands with a chance to win the game, I'm not betting against him.
Lol  
OC2.0 : 1/21/2017 3:14 pm : link
Of course they can. Smfh.
