The matchup is quite favorable for Atlanta. Rodgers is still Rodgers but it's not like Atlanta doesn't have the firepower to keep up... and the better run game to go with the better D.
It's the game I wanted... close out the Dome with a trip to the Super Bowl.
Yeah I think any Falcon fan would be foolish to not want one game, in your house, for a shot at the Super Bowl.
Aaron Rodgers has gone into Atlanta white hot before though. I would never, ever, ever feel safe playing that guy when he's on a hot streak.
But hoping you guys pull it out. :2thumbs:
Us too... And hopefully not like ya'll did in 2014. LOL
I'm fully expecting a shootout and hopefully we will get the win. As said I think the matchup is favorable for Atlanta. Sure Rodgers is hot... But so is Ryan. I think Rodgers leads in interceptions over the last 6 games... 1-0. Both QBs are in a zone with a lot of TDs.
Atlanta isn't as banged up... Has a better run game and receivers... Better defense... I just can't think of a reason not to be confident. Yes I remember 2010 when Rodgers came in as a 6 seed and knocked us off. That Atlanta team was a fraud... Defense couldn't force a single GB punt either. Nobody left from that team except Ryan, Babs and Bryant I think.
Don't get me wrong I've got tons of respect for Rodgers. I just think Atlanta is better and given the home game I like our chances. 18 years is a long time.
You know what's funny though? The best years of Atlanta Falcons football are separated by 18 years.
1980 12-4
1998 14-2 with a trip to XXXIII
2016 ???
:2thumbs:
Going to just make a futures bet on the Falcons in 2034 then. :lol:
