Not surprised given we are early in the season and how cautious we are with injuries. MLF is going to need a heck of a plan without 33 in there. Not surprising tbh especially given that our medical staff generally tends to be very conservative with injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refugee Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Just getting my mind right for the game. Atlanta is a team I just dislike. On some level, I like all of the other NfCS teams but ATL always seems like that cocky kid who’s never that good and definitely not as good as he talks. Zero redeeming qualities. I know they are also in their rebuilding process and have some talent, but I want to go down there and punch these carpet turf, dome playing birds in the mouth! Let’s play some old school, hard nosed NFCN ball and take it to them in all phases! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Assuming Jones is out, this will be a big day for Dillon to show what he brings to the offense. He'll never be a Jones replacement, but he was never supposed to be that. Another poor showing from him, and I have to think MLF starts considering his other options more seriously.

Old Guy Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 If Love and the Packers win this game with Jones and Watson out, this team could be a year ahead of schedule and make the playoffs. This is the type of week you need your 'dominant' defense to just steal their souls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Atlanta's defense should be way tougher than Bears. But last week, even with Watson out, there were receivers and Musgrave open enough for Love pretty routinely. Hopefully Watson being out won't change that this week, and Love will again have opportunities. If they are doing a lot of running plays and short passes, that could be kinda clock-killing. Packers like the clock-killing drives, too. Might be a game where the clock rolls and the number of actual possessions is modest? Games like that can often hinge on a few critical plays. Or, might be a game where neither offense is that good, so both teams are punting fairly quickly, and both offenses get a decent number of possessions?

I wonder if Bakhtiari will be out too....its on turf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't seem to have a lot of pass rush juice. Other than Jessie Bates their secondary isn't that great either. I think Troy Anderson was their best linebacker and he's out.

Mazrimiv Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I keep hearing about how good Wicks looks in practice. Hopefully he can stay healthy and that stuff will start showing up on Sunday's. There are so many young guys on this team that are looking for that break out game. It's getting tough to keep track.

StatKing Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Hopefully when Watson comes back he can stay healthy for the rest of the season. Not looking likely so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big day for Myers and Runyan inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I fully expect ATL to show Love more complex looks than CHI did. How Love handles that is maybe what I am most interested in seeing today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
