00:02 - At the end of the day,
00:03 you're talking about a Green Bay team minus Aaron Jones.
00:06 Granted, he led the team in terms of rushing last week,
00:09 46 rushing yards, did lead it in receiving as well, Donnie,
00:13 but at the end of the day,
00:14 comes down to the elevation and progression
00:16 of Jordan Love over Des Ritter.
00:18 They opened as a one and a half point favorite.
00:21 They're now three point dogs.
00:23 I just don't see it.
00:24 I think the better side in this matchup is Green Bay.
00:27 I think they'll win the ball game outright.
00:28 - Now, normally I would agree with you on that point
00:30 because I am much, much higher on the Green Bay Packers,
00:33 especially after that week one performance,
00:34 where I was like, okay,
00:35 the Bears were probably set up to win that game.
00:36 You go in, Jordan Love has a very good game,
00:38 but your top cog in that game, obviously, was Aaron Jones.
00:41 He was phenomenal in that game,
00:43 up and down the field, rushing and receiving.
00:44 He's out, and also Watson,
00:46 who you saw come on last year at the end of the season.
00:48 Now he's going to be out as well,
00:49 and it is a road game in a tough environment
00:51 and a charged up atmosphere.
00:52 My question is going to be,
00:54 what are we getting out of the Atlanta Falcons?
00:55 'Cause I think the one thing that if we can agree is,
00:58 yes, they won by 14 points, what, 211, 220 yards,
01:00 whatever on offense they had last week.
01:02 They really need to step up this week
01:04 in order to get a victory,
01:05 but my questions go a little bit further than that
01:08 because I do need to see a little bit more,
01:09 but from Green Bay's perspective,
01:10 it's really hard for me to say, you know what?
01:12 I like Green Bay.
01:13 Where are the weapons?
01:14 Where are the points?
01:15 - Well, Caden Reed stepped up, Kevin.
01:16 I mean, two receptions, 48 yards,
01:18 former Michigan State receiver that they drafted.
01:21 Look for Romeo Dobbs as well.
01:23 And again, A.J. Dillon, 13 carries, 19 yards.
01:27 Maybe his ability in the short intermediate passing game
01:30 is the factor.
01:31 I still think Jordan Love puts it up.
01:32 I mean, we're talking like he had a pedestrian week last.
01:36 We can put up 245 and three touchdowns
01:39 in the divisional game against a divisional opponent
01:42 and they won by 18.
01:43 I know it's back-to-back road games.
01:45 I get that, but I think we're making Atlanta
01:47 be out to be these world beaters.
01:49 They played a rookie quarterback,
01:50 even though I love him and Bryce Young,
01:52 it still was his first career start.
