Saturday Six Pack: Crunch Time Edition 1/15/11

by Caleb Rutherford on Jan 15, 2011 8:00 AM EST in Saturday Six Packs

I may have to take up heavy drinking before this game is over. Just saying.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's game day, and I'm sure you'll be in agreement with me when I say that this game makes me really nervous. We could easily win or lose this game based on just a few plays, so here's to hoping we bring our A game this week. Specifically our (A)aron Rodgers game. Har har har, see what I did there/shazam/etc.

Anywho, let's get this playoff edition Saturday Six Pack rockin'!

DOL: This might be considered cheating, but DOL also has a six pack of his own this week. Take a look, they're all good reads, especially the one where Gonzo hypes up Matty Ice for being so awesome. Seriously, could we have picked anyone better? I say nope.

Pat Yasinskas: Pat has made his triumphant return from the Falcoholic netherzone to provide us with this story of how a win tonight would be a huge step for Matty Ice's legacy. The thought of Matty leading us to victory is almost surreal, but I know he's as capable as anyone of doing it. Also, a neat little video that was on Pat's blog of Gonzo going on Sports Science. Seriously, he hit that dummy with 2000 pounds of force, and a battering ram is only 800 pounds of force? Are you kidding me?

Palm Beach Post: Ben Volin over at The Palm Beach Post writes this article about how Bill Parcells shunned us in 2007 to go to the Dolphins and how we're getting along just fine without him! In fact, I was really amused at this article because it's true and it's kinda....funny. Maybe more along the lines of irony, but still, I was amused.

USA Today: Jim Corbett over at USA Today writes this article about gettin' loud tonight. I hope the Dome makes a seismic shock like Qwest Field. Seriously, ATL, are you gonna let SEATTLE of all places be louder than you? I hope not! Also, that page looked kinda...off when I linked it, so if it looks strange, I apologize.

Philadelphia Enquirer: Michael A. Lough from TPE writes here that we are strictly business, but we still get the job done. I love how even the players are seeing that we're underdogs, even at 13-3 and with the number 1 seed. I also love how Ovie's like "Yeah, we'll show them when we get out there and hit them." Yeah, I like the sound of that. Also, the Rodgers/Jones picture could be a Haters Gonna Hate picture, much like...

Random Funny: Everyone's favorite, pulled out especially for this intense day:

I've been up all night and I'm too tired to read through all of them

but I read the one about Matty Ice that DOL had and it reinforces what I believed already.

I’m not nervous about the game later on today :)

I’m more nervous about what amount of alcohol I will have to drink. On that subject, you said you don’t drink right? Because you will turn into the incredible hulk?

Dallas, here we come!

So what you're saying is...

That if I ever need to siege a castle I should just leave my battering ram in the garage and give Gonzo a call?

palm beach article by ben volin has this in it:

“The Dimitroff-Smith combination provided tremendous structure,” ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer said. “Having a plan, sticking with it, not panicking or making knee-jerk reactions, developing players. I’m just such a believer.”

WTF??!!!

Say what Trent? You aint no beleiver in the falcons!! WHAT A FRICKING DOUCHEBAG!!

Way to talk out of both sides of your mouth trent.

Yeah, thats me.

Maybe Ron Rivera will bring him in as a QB next year and we can dislocate his mouth to stop his double talk douchery

Confident

I’m not nervous at all about the game. The Falcons are rested and playing at home. The crowd noise will be off the rafters! I suspect that it will be a closely contested game, but I like the Falcons endurance in the second half. The key is to be competitive in the first half. I belive that Finneran, Douglas and Snelling will be big factors in securing the win. On Defense I expect Abe, Babs and Grimes to be key! Expect the No Huddle to be utilize as it was similar to the Ravens game to keep GB off balance. Our blitz packages will be better disguised as well.
