Coleman deserves a ton of credit for knocking the ball away from Hyde.

This game should be 17-10. Let's not crown them yet. GB is too beat up.
To be fair, the fact that GB didn't score both of those times weren't due to flukes. The kick is likely to be made most of the time, but the fumble wasn't some accident, it was taken away. Maybe it should be 17-6, but you can't assume all the points.

Runner used his off arm to push a defender rather than use 2 hands with 4 defenders on him. That's a bad fumble.

I'm just going to say this early... if the Packers have to punt, they can easily gain 25-30 yards with a fake punt run up the middle based on the last couple of times they've punted.

Oh sure, but it wasn't like it was rain, or he hit it out with his own knee. One player did a bad thing, one did a good thing, but luck had nothing to do with it. Plus, he wasn't getting into the end zone in any case, so you can't assume 7 points.

He should do that play now where he rolls out to the left and then throws it 37 yards on a postage stamp

Is that not a flag from the Tom Brady rule of a defender tackling a QB while he's on the ground?

I guess we root for Atlanta injuries or Atlanta winning 60-0 and being overconfident.

Probably should have not picked that. 55 yard net was way better than a punt would have been.
