The Green Bay Packers entered Sunday's game with an injury report longer than a college students laundry list. The Packers were without their top two running backs, number one tight end, number two wide receiver, their top three cornerbacks, and their All-Pro outside linebacker. Even with all the injuries, the Green Bay Packers found a way to score 32 points, but the defense could not make an important stop at the end of the fourth quarter. Matt Ryan drove the Falcons 75 yards, in 11 plays. Matt Bryant added the game winning extra point. 

Julio Jones injured his ankle; early in thegame, and was not a major factor. Matt Ryan targeted Mohamed Sanu 10 times and finished with nine catches for 84 yards and the game winning touchdown. Aaron Rodgers kept the Packers alive with his legs, rushing for a career high 60 yards. Trevor Davis and Geronimo Allison both caught their first career touchdowns. 

The one question can be about Mike McCarthy and his time management at the end of the game. As the Falcons drove down the field with ease, valuable seconds kept ticking off the clock. The Packers had one last drive with 31 seconds left. What if McCarthy would have used the final two timeouts while the Falcons drove for the game winning touchdown? Listen in and call the show with your thoughts.
