Falcons Leadup

I would be there if I lived within striking distance. Return of Matty Ice and I don't mean Ryan.

With the low temps coming our way, no way I'd pay $20 to see a Flynn-led Packers team take on Falcons.

Matty Ice versus The Real Matty Ice. Maybe I can still get excited for this game. Ok on second thought nevermind, still no lol...

I'd pay $20 to watch the Milwaukee Mustangs on Lambeau Field.

(Do the Milwaukee Mustangs still exist, or did they dissolve again?)

Eh. The writing was on the wall when he wasn't cleared, I suppose. I wonder if one week is going to make enough of a difference to bring him back.

[MickeyDavis]

Also, Randall Cobb, currently on IR with designation to return, isn't ready yet. McCarthy indicated the team will take a closer look at his availability Tuesday

Cobb's eligible to be activated for the Dallas game but I can't imagine he will be. Obvioulsy a loss Sunday makes it moot anyway.

for rest of this season

Shut down AR Cobb and Matthews.
pull Lacey way back - play starks more
sit Jennings - play Richardson at S
play Stoneburner & Bostick at TE
play datone Jones all downs as DE in base / DT in subs

Might as well give Franklin more carries as well.

Well this is pretty much it. A loss to ATL slams the door shut regardless of how Detroit fares. The silver lining is that we get to see if this team has any pride left, and evaluate the guys to see who does and doesn't want to be here next year.

The Detroit loss was about as devastating as they come, so this team better at least show some fight against an absolutely terrible Falcons squad. If we can't beat ATL at home, this team has much bigger concerns than just injuries...

Franklin was put on IR if I'm not mistaken?

Yup. Kahil Bell.

Really? Damn, too many injuries to keep track of.

I am all about a 'very' short leash on Flynn. If he looks anything like he has the past few games, stop the bleeding there.

Maybe a few weeks of practice gets him in sync, but I do not see it. Sure the offensive line is pretty porous, but 8 in the box?? Jordy and Jones can beat one on one coverage sometimes. Play action with Tolzien, at least garners a glimmer of hope.

With Flynn in there, we have no long game so to speak. He has no confidence or swagger visible in his play. He moves way to slow, takes forever to get set, and lofts stuff up.
