GDT Week 2: Packers at Flacons

[HighCalebR]

If the D brings the juice again there's no betting against them. Can't have the usual southern stasis we get when we head down to the confederacy. Savage and Nixon flying around keeping things inside is a must. Think it's a good game for a Ford bounce back as well.

The Falcones are gonna find a way to get their RBs to the second level. They got a guru over there drawing up runs. a real ****in coach klein. Hope the boys are buzzin.

Big chunk of that will likely go to Gary.

I think 40 mil of our cap is to rodg. That would be a major down payment on gary or love... saving money from future years. 

 

Or an all pro safety and wr this year.

Good. The line and play caller should be ready.  Love is not the same green QB Spagnolo blitzed into pieces in his first start a few years ago. If ATL wants to treat him like Carolina’s rookie, I hope he torches them with quick outs that pile up YAC. Should be a good test for our field general in a hostile environment.

Much of the country will get Packers at Atlanta. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma with the call. LP of Michigan, and northwest, including Alaska, will get Seattle at Detroit. Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen with the call. Most of Illinois will get Chicago at Tampa Bay Joe Davis and Daryl Johnston with the call.

Ring the bells that still can ring

WHAT DO THESE COLORS MEAN?!!!???!!!

Any word on Watson?

Bears were shockingly no-blitz, no-pressure.  Atlanta could be a very different day with much less comfortable pockets for Love.  

• Blitz is scary, but opens opportunities.  Can Love diagnose and respond, take advantage quickly? 
• Watson back?  If a defense is aggressive, might Watson get some one-on-ones, with less deep help over the top?  
• Might Love's wheels be more valuable this week?  Pressure can necessitate more scrambling, and can leave some gaps.    
• Game planning?   MLF afraid of 3rd and long, so tons of 1st-down middle runs, just force Love to face lots of 3rd downs?  One way to avoid 3rd-down pressure is to convert on 1st or 2nd!  Will MLF get predictably run-run on first downs?  Or will lot of 1st-down runs get ≥5 yards?  
• Jones yes or no?  Productive running *IF* Jones is fine might be different than if it's Dillon-Taylor pound + pound?
• Musgrave is so long.... might he be a routinely decent contingency option if Love needs a target and doesn't have much time?

Six colors, six noon-time matchups. Broadcast coverage zones.

Edit: Okay, eight matchups with orange being the designated "extra game" color.

For those who are still confused;

Yellow Zone: Green Bay @ Atlanta
Blue Zone: Chicago @ Tampa Bay
Orange Zone: LA Chargers @ Tennessee
Red Zone: Seattle @ Detroit
Isolated Orange Zones: Baltimore @ Cincinnati, Kansas City @ Jacksonville
Green Zone: Las Vegas @ Buffalo(it doesn't look that way, but Las Vegas should be in the green area.
That Turquise-like Zone: Indianapolis @ Houston

...huh. Eight matchups instead of six. I guess I can blame my sloppiness on just getting up.

Could do that...yes. I stopped going to bars once COVID came to town and I honestly hadnt thought of it till you mentioned it. 

Get a VPN, watch any NFL, NBA or MLB game you want at home.

Good test for Love.  Might need some quick stuff to Reed and Doubs to counter the pressure.
