Divisional Playoffs: Packers at Falcons Game Thread

PrintI've watched The Run over and over again. Online, on ESPN, NFL Network's re-air, NFLN's studio shows and Inside the NFL, the key segment of which I rewound repeatedly just to watch the reaction of players and fans in the background. When Beast Mode scores and the screaming hits an even higher crescendo, every single time, I get chills. Not just a little rush, but goosebump-raising chills. The Run is so, so sick. It is beautiful.
Thank you, Marshawn, for being such a badass. You have given us this dream.
#6 Green Bay Packers at #1 Atlanta Falcons, 5:00 PM Pacific, FOX. Line: Atlanta -1.5/-1. Over/under: 43.5. Referee: John Parry.
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the booth from a raucous and antiquated Georgia Dome. A road win by the sixth-seeded Pack keeps a home title game scenario in play for the 206. Green Bay is scary but we really don't want Atlanta. Careful what you wish for because you might just get it.

Hey cool
A game I actually care about.
/couldn’t give a shit less who wins between Ravens and Steelers
Its never nice to see the Steelers win
but this game holds a lot more importance for me.

I don't share the deep hatred for the Steelers the rest of you all have
I don’t care for ‘em, but I don’t hate ’em either. Same for the Ravens. Two franchises I could hardly give a shit less about.

Qwest shatters that

The Conference match against the Panthers
We’re so damn close to coming back
The loudest I can yell is 116 db, and I'm notoriously loud in my "circle of trust"
I can’t imagine a group of people being so loud collectively that the field level noise registers at 130+. Amazing really

Is that, like, a circle where you stand around screaming at each other while registering the db?

I was at the NFC championship game
By the time everyone realized that Carolina wasn’t coming back it just built and built until you couldn’t hear your own scream.
I remember when Terry Bradshaw was awarding the Halas trophy you couldn’t hear a single word he said. Not even one word leaked through the crowd noise.
Feel like it's hard to get overly excited for any running back these days
considering how quickly they flame out.

They're really trying to pump up the loudness of these fans?
Qwest didn’t get this treatment last week
I can't remember if it was last game or the St. Louis game but at qwest they showed a Cheerleader holding a meter on the jumbotron
and it was around 105 and this was around when the coin toss/opening kickoff was happening.
and it was no where near as loud as it gets on 3rd downs

Via FO - An increase from 35% to 44% in the first half.
Before the bye, the Bears ran the ball on 35 percent of their first half plays; since, they’ve run the ball 44 percent of the time. They average more yards per carry, going from a rushing average of 4.3 yards per carry to 4.9 yards per carry, but their Success Rate has actually fallen from 40 percent to 38 percent. An increase in yards per carry with a decrease in Success Rate suggests that a rise in big plays, and that’s been the case. Chicago has 11 runs of 20 yards or more this season; nine of them have come since the bye.
Seahawks are the team with all the roster moves...
Sheesh… Give us some credit.
the falcons have just been mauled, guillotined, shot, chainsawed, stomped on, poisoned...

Hmmm.
Interesting little drive they have going, here.
So Brian Burke's prediction holds true
I chose those three teams for this silly exercise just to point out that the Packers are, if the statistics are any measure, objectively a better team than the Falcons, despite their respective records and seedings. And the Falcons are, in many ways, closer to the Seahawks than they are to the Packers. As I discussed in my Week 17 post, the Falcons are quite lucky to be where they are. The Packers-Falcons matchup is the one game this week in which the efficiency model differs from the broad consensus, and I think it’s because the Falcons are generally overrated.

Seahawks playoff revenge scenario is aligning
Beat the Aints (was the other franchise that would never win a SB) – Check
Face the Bears at Chicago
Face Green Bay at home
Beat the Steelers in the SB
The stars are aligning for Hasselbeck to get revenge for playoff losses during his curtain call.

Falcons have had some crappy draft classes recently.
This team might be closer to decline than it thinks.

But when Gonzo retires it will hurt the Falcons

Can't believe how hard they're pushing this 'different team' angle for Chicago
It’s like they’re trying to deny the loss to Seattle ever happened. ‘No, no, that wasn’t us. It was a completely different team back then’. As if the Bears just collectively decided to go to Hooters that Sunday and let the University of Illinois suit up in their place. Just man up as a team and admit you got beat.
I'd rather they just call it a fluke win or that the Bears took us lightly.
The different team angle is really annoying. That wouldn’t be the spin if we had lost to them in week 6.
It was actually the White Sox we beat 23-20.

I will agree that all of them (save for maybe BMW) don't have the same kind of value to a club like Tramon Williams adds. But that's still finding valuable peices where no one else was looking.
Also, didn’t we add UFA’s something fierce right after the draft? I remember a handful of USC guys just none of them stuck. I just like how our FO is turning over every stone to try and get the best guys out there every Sunday.
