Cook was the big star last time. My money is on Montgomery to be the big star of this game. I talked about a double 40 burger but one thing the NFL has taught is that things usually don't go as planned. Everyone is thinking this huge aerial fest. It might be Freeman/Coleman vs. Montgomery/Michael and a game in the 20's or teens. Seems unlikely but that stuff happens all the time in the National Football League.

88 with 200 yards combined in this one and the star of the game along with Rodgers.

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."

The Atlanta Falcons will host the Green Bay Packers on January 22, 2017 for NFC Championship game. It also marks the Falcons last game in Atlanta's Georgia Dome. The facility opened its doors in 1992 and has served for 24 years. In that time , many games of football have been played there , from the NFL to College to High Schools. In addition , it has hosted concerts and many other non-sports events.

Many opinions, facts, and some humor has been posted in this thread. Much centers upon who will /will not play in Sundays NFC Championship Game. WRs & CBs (GB's) have been discussed the most. We can say who we like or don't like. We can say who we believe is/is not healthy and able to play. It is fun to express our opinions here in this forum, yet the Professional Coaches, Doctors, and the players themselves are the only ones who really know the whole truth. Team policy is to closely protect information regarding player injuries.

The Packers will start/field the very best roster that they can, after-all their jobs and reputations are on the line in this game as well. Coach McCarthy and his entire staff of professional coaches, trainers, and support personal are all focused on giving the Packers the best chance to win. I don't believe that they would endanger any injured player, no matter how valuable they are, to gain even 1 yard. They know that it is not worth the risk of incurring an even more serious injury.

Little attention has been paid to the Falcons and their players. Who among then is injured / recovered and ready to play. Who or at what position is their weak link ? Can GB's Defense place serious pressure on QB Matt Ryan ? How good are Atlanta's CB's ? What Atlanta LB will try to cover GB's TE J. Cook ? Will we see blitzes from Atlanta's Safety's or will they be afraid Rodgers will burn them if they try ? ...

Julio Jones, whom hasn't practiced yet this week, stated he would play Sunday, but did NOT say he would be full strength. He's not had a huge game since his toe injury. Let's hope it stays that way. Gabriel is fast as frick and worries me on some long shots down the field. He's a former Brown so maybe there's nothing to worry about, there. :)

The time has come to post my prediction for the GB @ Atlanta contest.

As most have posted, both teams will field very good Offenses. The Defenses of both teams are pointed to as the weakest links. I agree.
The difference in this NFC Championship Game, IMO, will come down to turnovers.

Green Bay --- 38

Atlanta --- 34

The NFC Championship is the first game (regular season or playoffs) since the 1970 merger featuring two teams that have scored 30+ points in 5+ straight games. The Packers have scored 30+ points in 6 straight games (including playoffs), the longest current streak in the NFL. The Falcons have the second longest current streak, scoring 30+ points in 5 straight games (including playoffs).

[...]

Matt Ryan threw 38 touchdown passes this season, 2nd-most in the NFL. The only player with more? His NFC Championship Game counterpart, Aaron Rodgers, who threw 40 touchdown passes.

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
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 .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
