Falcons vs. Packers Week 8 tracker, game info, and discussion

We’re less than an hour away from Falcons-Packers, the latest test for a Falcons team sitting at 4-3 and fresh off of two straight losses. Green Bay is no collection of world beaters this season, but that doesn’t mean this is going to be anything approaching a cakewalk, and the Falcons certainly won’t treat it like it’s a given.

They can’t afford to, not after starting the season 4-1, dropping a tough but understandable road game to the Seahawks, and then losing at home against the Chargers a week ago. This is still a capable, dangerous team, but they’re also in danger of cooling off after a hot start for the second year in a orw,

This isn’t a “win or go home” game, primarily because the Falcons are already home. That’s also because the Buccaneers are no lock to win this week, but we should not forget that this NFC South lead can evaporate pretty quickly. Let’s hope the Falcons stand at 5-3 and have a little more breathing room in the division after today.
