Ryan threw for 392 yards and four touchdowns, and he also ran for a touchdown in the first half. The Falcons led by 24 at halftime and were at 400 total yards before the Packers got 130. They led 31-0 before the Packers scored.
And it wasn't even that close.
There have been calls for Defensive Coordinator Dom Capers' head for several years. This may be the year. In fairness, he was playing with this fifth and sometimes sixth corner, Nick Perry with a club on one hand, and a banged up Clay Matthews. But, injuries cannot be an excuse. Everybody has injuries this time of year. Quite simply, the Packers cannot get pressure on a quarterback to save their lives.
And one more thing, nobody seems to get as injured as Green Bay. Either they need to draft more durable players or take a cold, hard look at the training staff because the weekly injury list is beginning to rival War and Peace for length.
For those of us who live in Wisconsin, winter starts today. And it's gonna be a long, cold, dark, wet, awful winter.
Again.
