The Packers will open the new Mercedes-Benz Stadiurm Sunday
with a lot on the line for the second week of the season. The key to this game
is the Packers defense and not whether Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense
can play a full game in sync.
I expect the Packers offense to play well, if David
Bakhtiari plays. If he doesn’t and Adam Pankey has to start or Lane Taylor
shifts over and Lucas Patrick starts at left guard or something else because
General Manager Ted Thompson has left the Packers without a viable backup at
left tackle then Rodgers and the offense will be in trouble.
However, that stupid injury on a celebration is not the real
issue this week. The Falcons have a high powered offense with a decent
offensive line and a bonafided star in Julio Jones unlike the Seahawks who had
a wreck of an offensive line that Packers front seven dominated.
