The Packers had some "minor" distractions heading into Dallas with some off the field stuff. Now, the Falcons appear to have a MAJOR distraction on their hands. The architect of their high flying offense can't wait to get out of there and off to his HC gig in Frisco. Mike Silver of NFLN is reporting that Shanahan is "almost certain" to take the Niners job.

I can't help but be reminded of what some Packers fans thought when we lost to SF in SF which was Holmgren's last game with us. Some felt he was already in his new job and didn't care about the Packers anymore. We can only hope the same is said of Shanahan after his offense underperforms against our toasted cheese defense and we move on.

A big distraction... not quite so big...or none at all heading into Sunday for the Falcons?

Can't help but believe it's quite large as he absolutely has to be thinking about assembling his staff along with preparing for the Packers which makes him doubleminded opposed to solely focused on us not that beating our D should take a whole lot of thought but it should help with him pondering moves he needs to make when he's finished in ATL.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I give very little credit to "Distractions". Its only an issue when players/coaches have to talk to the media, and that is always a distraction so it is just a different question being asked. When in meetings, and in practice they don't give it a second thought.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

very little distraction. One of the things that make some people good HC candidates is their ability to handle distractions. Mark my words though, when the Falcons lose a lot of people will be pointing their fingers at Shanahan and saying it was all his fault.

This distraction is a different kind of distraction. It's knowing that someone who made you successful is abandoning ship on you. The distraction is likely more self contained within Shanahan himself and or all the assistants he's going to try and take with them. Not many distractions are of the variety of thinking of you getting more money, power, etc. This distraction truly does take away from what's at hand. It can't possibly not.

About as big a distraction as two of our executives receiving second interviews with the 49ers.

For the team, I don't think it's a distraction at all (unless he's talked to certain people about going to SF with him (ie other coaches) or maybe if they want to go with him to SF), but this could be a distraction for the man himself. I don't think anyone on the outside could possibly know how much or how little that it is effecting him.


Though from my extremely limited understanding of how they run things is he sits down and finds players to target and how to best destroy the weakest links.... which I don't think will be that hard to do on this Packers defense right now... at least not in the passing game, running game might be a bit tougher. So I don't think that this distracting for him will have much impact because the flaws are fairly clear, the execution of the plays and maybe the play calling at high pressure moments are the only real hard parts...

like the Cowboys play caller fell into the NFL play caller trap on the final drive, of wanting to pass the ball too much in this pass happy league instead of keeping it balanced or sticking with what got you there (running the ball)...

That could happen to the Falcons, but it's less likely since they're much better at the passing game and being balanced.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
