HHCD, Burnett, Brice, and Evans all ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not anyway, (with the caveat Jones continues to ascend ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greco, Lelito immediately come to mind, guys with track records and starter experience. Tiller another G option. Tackle, you could kick the tires on a guy like Kouandjio. Or if we have our eye on a guy with another team, we could always ship a 6th-7th rounder possibly. We have about 12 draft picks next year. Bottom line is that right now going into ATL, our backup line consists of Murphy, Patrick, McCray and Pankey. Out of those 4, one guy has ever played a regular season snap. I'd be okay with 1, maybe 2 guys like that as your 8 and 9 guys but there is no logical reason to be where we are at, especially once Barclay went down. Are we prepared to play McCray or Pankey in a real game? Seems irresponsible to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into the game I would have figured Atlanta would dominate, but the score suggested otherwise. Was curious if a lot of points were left off the board, if Atlanta just played bad, or what. I do think Chicago is better than expected but no way are they playoff contenders yet or anything. Also, with this nitro package, is the downside being a little light for running plays? I remember the NASCAR package a year or so back being talked about and it got abused by offensive coordinators and was curious if the nitro might follow the same pattern or if it'll be a part of our defense for the whole year. I watched most of it. The Falcons weren't really prepared and sloppy, while the Bears were more ready to play. The Falcons got lucky really, as the Bears should have won that game. All that probably goes out the window next week though. The Falcons are going to have extra motivation to be ready and win the 1st game in their brand new stadium.

packfanfb Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Wondering if its a probability not a possibility that Bulaga is going to miss another week. Watched Murphy's and Nelson's locker room interviews and oth sounded pretty certain that Murphy is starting. Hard to believe that Bulaga still can't go. Not sure about Murphy on turf against speed rushers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would see similar situations on most teams. most backups are not people the fans are comfortable seeing on the field. plenty of teams don't even have a full group of starts that they're confident in , much less a reserve they're comfortable with if 1 guy gets hurt, much much less 2 reserves fans are comfortable with if 2 guys get hurt. I just think you seem to have an overly high opinion of other teams' backups to fault GB in comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 ATL was the Top Offense in 2016: They Scored 540 pts which comes out to 33.8/g They scored 37.6 over their last 6 home games, but that home is gone with the wind How many points will GB defense give up on Sunday eve ?

jontat83 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Falcons fans seem to think they deliberately played a bit Vanilla against Chicago to keep some new, more creative stuff for us. If that's true it was risky because they could have easily lost that game, the Bears had a chance to win it. I'm expecting a much tougher test for our defense but I don't think we will face a beat down here. I think we will quickly come to the conclusion that we were are not as good as the Seattle performance indicated but much better than last season. On offense the only thing that concerns me was again we left plays on the field, sometimes why don't you just take what the defense gives you instead of waiting for that big play to develop? I really don't like when our Offense does that, it should be smart enough and well coached enough to mix it up. Got to get that running game going a bit more and hopefully pass pro will hold up, that Falcons D isn't as good as the Seahawks especially up front.

incognito_man Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I think 20pts is about what we will give up on defense. I'd guess in the 16 to 23 ballpark. I don't think we give up 3 TDs. I think we will score north of 30 on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes time to absorb it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
