Packers Montgomery looking forward to Falcons game
The Falcons beat the Packers 44-21 in last season’s NFC championship game – the final game played at the Georgia Dome.
Green Bay also opened with a win, beating Seattle 17-9 last week. So maybe kneeling on the ground, throwing up might’ve helped it. Falcons coming out victorious the previous two times.
“I’m more than thrilled to come here, man, on a winning team – left another winning team to come to an even better team”.
The flu is now behind Bulaga, but his sore right ankle remains. “That’s a good question”.
For now, Bulaga is more focused on convincing Dr. “It certainly hurt to lose him – that play cost us a touchdown and we lost him”.
“I thought we could have had some (more),”Quinn said”. “I didn’t really know what to expect”.
When Atlanta clears space for RB Devonta Freeman and RB Tevin Coleman to get going, Ryan and the passing game is that much more risky. “We’ve just got to work through it”.
“He played so damn well previous year”, Rogers said of Ryan. The NFL official injury report still lists him as questionable.
Week two in the National Football League brings an NFC title rematch. “I’ll state today as I said then: they played excellent and were deserving of going to the Super Bowl, but we kind of ran out of gas”. “I would think, if you look at the skill set, you’d like to do that a bunch”.
“After every game, I always critique myself first”, Sarkisian said on Thursday.
In the victory over Seattle, Daniels and Perry were a constant presence in the Seahawks backfield, with Daniels changing the course of the game with a third quarter strip-sack. It looked like they might have shook off the pesky Bears when Matt Ryan scrambled and found Austin Hooper for an 88-yard catch-and-run touchdown pass to put them ahead 20-10.
Falcons coach Dan Quinn said linebacker LaRoy Reynolds, now on injured reserve with a pectoral injury, created the “All Gas, No Brakes” motto during the offseason.
“I couldn’t believe it either to be honest with you”.
Q: How many family and friends will be attending the game to see you play? “I was just sitting and waiting and staying in shape”.
“We’ve seen a lot of them”, Falcons defensive end Brooks Reed said, breaking into a smile. Gunter’s now a Carolina Panther after his cut earlier this week. Randall said their improved health is their best hope after they played the Falcons last season with since-retired Sam Shields on the bench and himself and Rollins slowed by injury. Not surprisingly, he had one of his best games in that injury-shortened year (24-of-29, 285 yards, two TDs, 130.6 passer rating). And that’s what (Gunter) was first, he was a great teammate to everyone in there. Where he worked extremely hard. “He’s everything you want in a receiver”. I’ll never let anybody take a cheap shot on my guy.
He’s tried leaving him in one-on-one coverage. Atlanta’s depth up front will also be critical, and if it can shut down Green Bay’s running game, Rodgers will be forced to produce. I talked with him. Jeff [Janis] complained previous year in Detroit when I threw him a fade ball on the sidelines that he just never saw it. The ESPN reporter for both the Packers and Falcons predicted the Falcons to win.
