Packers vs Falcons

Contribution by German Flowers
So far I've been following all the NFL playoff games and after the three nail biting games this past weekend, I'm looking forward to what this weekend's games will bring. This weekend my buddies are also coming over to my apartment so they can watch the games on the HD channels provided via DirectTV. The game I'm most looking forward to is probably the Green Bay Packers versus the Atlanta Falcons. The game is going to be played in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, and features two of the best young Quarterbacks in the NFC, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons.
The two teams met once in the regular season with the Falcons coming out on top 20-17. That game was won with only nine seconds remaining in the game on a Matt Bryant field goal from forty-seven yards out. I actually watched that game and remember quite a bit of it. Back then, the Packers couldn't muster any sort of rushing attack on the Falcons defense with Rodgers himself having to scramble for fifty-one of their seventy-seven rushing yards. They actually only called a running play eleven times out of the fifty-nine plays they called. Since then it looks like they've found a running attack behind seldom used rookie James Starks who had one hundred and twenty-three yards last game. It'll be interesting to see if that changes the results this time around.
