Packer's emptied everything they had against us and were acting like they just won the superbowl, not surprised they are getting crushed by a focused Falcon team.

Honestly, this butt whoppin couldn't have happened to a more humble guy than Aaron Rodgers. The most humble QB in the league.

Same thing in 2014,they gave everything they got against us and lost the following week. Oh well justice has been served.

Even if we got by the Packers, do you believe we would've been able to take Atlanta? Honesty? I think they would've shredded us like they are GB.

Yeah I believe so. You can tell they were playing to defend the pass, but they can't do that with us because Zeke will demolish them. Keep in mind, Atlanta at home is a completely different team than Atlanta on the road. The last team I wanted to see in the playoffs was unfortunately the first one we saw

I think the Falcons are the best matchup in the playoffs right now. I'm not sure any team can beat them. I think of all the teams, the Cowboys probably could have given them the best run for their money with the running game eating ToP.

That said, their defense is playing much better than ours and that would probably have been the deal-breaker. The playoffs are about defense.

Julio is better than any of our receivers by large margin. The rest of their receiving core is better than the rest of ours. They have much better players on defense.

I do like to think of them as a bit of inspiration. They turned their defense around with 3 rookies. We do that and we are right there with them.

I think if you play the game 10 times at our location that we win at least 3 or 4 of the games. But we'd need to score around 35...maybe even 40.

You all can say no all you want, fact is no one knows. Even if the Cowboys could have beat Atlanta there would still be some on here say we can't beat the Steelers again, we can't beat Tom Brady and the Patriots

Apples and oranges.
For those who wanted to run Zeke 35 times, there was nothing wrong with our game plan or taking advantage of GBs greatest weakness. If we had executed a little better without the penalties and put some points up in the first half, we may have hung 44 on GB as well.

Rodgers and that offense were hurting...we made them pay for what they got last week, but he was much sharper...it happens. Atlanta's defense has been subpar all year; they are undersized but fast at every level. That made them a good matchup for GB, and their offense didn't worry about time of possession or keeping Rodgers off the field. They did what they do and destroyed that GB secondary, just as Dak and Dez did in the second half.

If we played Atlanta, we could have scored with them because the run game would have crushed their undersized D and Dez would have had another big day as they have no top line CB. Whichever team executed best would win.

I don't know if we would have beaten Atlanta. I do know we should have been playing today.

We could have made it a game.

I think we get a pick or turnover of some sort.

Game down to the wire.
