Tom Pilicero, Billy Gill, Sheel Capadia, all here stayed up last night to watch a Thursday night football game. That Sheel, I just I like to think the Packers at home, it is their home opener. Short week, even with the injuries, even with all the challenges and Josh Jacobs not being there, you just like to think that they find a way at Lambeau Field. To beat a Falcons team that had looked grossly incompetent offensively for the first couple of weeks of the season. The first couple of drives, it kind of seemed that way. Michael Penix Jr. was looked like very much like a guy who hadn't played. But the the final three quarters or so was all Falcons. I I just I was startled by the dichotomy between the teams.
And it looked like it was the Falcons who came to play. And the Packers that had no answers for anything. What did you make of it?
Yeah, we all know that in the NFL, sometimes the team's a big favorite and everyone expects them to win, and fluky stuff happens. There's a special teams thing, there's a couple weird turnovers. We've all seen those types of games. That's not what this was. If you sat down and you hadn't watched any other game by the Falcons this year, didn't know what was happening with either team, didn't know preseason expectations, you would just come to the conclusion that the Falcons were more. More talented, better coached, played harder, executed better. I mean, you can check every single box you want. They had 498 yards of offense in that game. They rushed for 242. They scored on five straight possessions in that game.
So there's a lot of different angles we can get to with this game. To me, the biggest one is crisis mode might be an exaggeration for the Packers, but I don't know. Have you talked about it? Any Packers fans in the last 12 hours. I think that's pretty close to where they are with the way these first three weeks have gone. They're one and two. Their only win is an overtime against the Jets. Their offensive line is in shambles. Their defense looks like it can't do anything to stop the opponent until Micah Parsons gets back. And all of a sudden, it feels like this season is slipping away for them. So I think my big takeaway, if I had to have one from that game, it's more the The panic over the Packers. Uh, and of course we can get into the positives with the Falcons here in a minute.
The way the Falcons look, you would think that Michael Penix was the most important person in the league. Because the Falcons stay. They didn't look like a good team the first two weeks. And Shield pointed out 498 yards on offense. They also only allowed 17 rushing yards to the Packers yesterday. The Packers really didn't have answers for anything. They had 10 drives. Five of those 10 drives were five plays or less. They couldn't really do anything right.
