You must have meant "2 stud RBs" because other than Julio the Falcons don't have any other stud WRs. Sanu, Gabriel, and company are very much complementary receivers.
If you meant RB then I'd agree Freeman is getting into that top tier level. Coleman isn't there yet.

Who is the starting running back for GB?
5th string receiver you say?

Jimmy Fallon called him Where's Waldo without the hat and glasses. Perfect if you ask me.

Nothing to do with Julio, Freeman, and starting the same offensive line in every single game this year (which is just mind blowingly lucky).
So sure, he's been statistically equal or even surpassing Rodgers. Anyone who's watched Rodgers play during this stretch wouldn't agree that Ryan has played better though.

When you can't combat logical points/explanations made you call them excuses. Nice
Let's also ignore the defenses played during the stretch too:
Green Bay: 9.875 (average defense ranking), with 2 top 5 pass defenses.
Atlanta: 17 with 0 top 5 pass defenses.

Think how fricking good Rodgers would be in Atlanta's offense. My god.
Posted on 1/19/17 at 3:59 pm to TheCaterpillar

What's impressing people is that he's doing this without a true running game. ETA: And because of how he looks when he's on.
Rodgers has a wow factor when he plays. Not so much with Ryan.

Matt Ryan defenders aren't the ones moving the goalposts, baw. Matt has the numbers.
You are clamoring to the eye test, playing the Saints twice, and having superior weapons. The vast majority of these weapons were there last year. Julio and Freeman ate in 2015. Let's not act like these Pro Bowlers came out of thin air.
Explain why the Falcons are the top passing offense by any metric.

Did I miss anything?
ETA: Also, it's funny you say "top passing offense by any metric." You sure about that?

I'm not moving the goal post. I fully admit the Ryan has the statistical advantage when it comes to just QB stats.

Actually, that isn't what I did. I supported my argument with FACTS
Facts that I used to support my argument:
1) During that stretch, the Packers played an average defense ranked in the top 10 in yards and ppg. The Falcons played an average defense ranked 17th in yards, and the 19th in ppg
2) Atlanta averages 120.5 yards per game on the ground. The Packers average 106.3 and have been decimated by injuries.
3) Atlanta has had a healthy offensive line all season. They have started the same guys in every game this season.

Wtf does that have to do with anything? We're not comparing Matt Ryan to himself, not to mention that his offensive line was in shambles.
Their playaction ability this year has been one of the best I've ever seen with that running game, offensive line, Julio, and Ryan's abilities.

I already have. You just decided that I was "moving the goalpoasts" which is bullshite. I'm discussing which QB has played better given their teams and competition.

The development of Tevin Coleman as an ultimate third down back was huge and everyone in the offense (that isn't a lineman) is now a pass catching threat.

Of course he has, but don't tell anyone else otherwise.
He also had a better game against much better secondary and defense in the divisional round but all you hear about is Rodgers heroics.

They went on the road, without their best receiver, and beat the #1 seed on one of the best passes ever. Of course you're gonna hear about that more.
Also, Rodgers played the Hawks during this stretch of games. He went 18/23 for 246 yards, 3 TDs 0 Ints, and a 150.8 passer rating
