Official Packers vs 49ers Game Thread

[Fritz]

Yep, sure does suck to see an old Bear go down in flames at Lambeau.

Heh, heh, heh, heh.......

I'd swap him for McCarthy in a New York minute.

[Fosco33]

Not sure how to feel about this.

Good teams can finish and should continue domination. Packers offense was way to conservative in 2nd half - only points on a short field. Defense knew what was coming every play of 2nd half and couldn't stop it.

Losing Kamp and Al -- and a short week.

Playing in Detroit on Turkey Day... I recall losing this one back in '01 or '02.

I'd feel different if the D continued to dominate and O was conservative... but not both.

It's a 60 min game that we played in 30.

TD by Detroit

[gbgary]

lions will win. stafford is hurt and we'll be seeing culpepper on turkey day.

[Brohm]

They got complacent across the board and it almost bit them in the ass.

[Lurker64]

Well a win is always good, and the Packers ran the four minute offense at the end very well there (which is promising). The defense didn't really shut anybody down in the fourth quarter and I was more worried than I should have been.

But, if we can get past Detroit on Turkey Day, we have a mini-bye-week and we'll be 7-4.

not complacent...conservative. it shouldn't have been that close...we traded tds for fgs today.

what a collossal meltdown. not sure it matters if we're 7-4, if we continue to play like that!

What happened to him?

Those TDs instead of FGs would have made this one look a lot more palatable, eh?

[Fosco33]

Again... maybe we'll knock him out and see Stanton. We'll have to deal with Calvin this time around.

Every team left on our schedule is beatable. If we're sitting at 7-4 after Detroit 10-6 is very achieveable.

[gbgary]

What happened to him?

left shoulder...separated or something. collarbone? dislocation? he'll be one-armed if he plays.

thats gonna be a lot more difficult without harris

[sheepshead]

7 games lost by 4 points or less last year. The most penalized and sacked team in football this year.


Marty Mornhinweg has to go. I almost hope we tank just to get rid of him. This is a very uninspired football team for 4 quarters and are getting hard to watch.

[Badgerinmaine]

Seconded.

Similar keys as last few weeks:
1. Keep AR upright -- more max protect, shifts, rolls... we've made every team look like rockstars with pressure (even the lowly Bucs) - only gave up 2
2. Attack through the air but keep them honest with Grant/Green - good 1st half balance; got too comfy 2nd half
3. Get after Smith and spy either Gore or Davis (depending on who's having issues with coverage) - yes (in the 1st half); Gore had 59y (42 on one play) but we did give Davis 100+ and a TD - not impressed with 2nd half effort
4. Don't let down after Cowboys -- they have to keep the defensive intensity and play like their asses are on the line (because they are all the time). - played lights out in 1st half; big let down... can't look past Det. Get a W and a chance to get healthy (11 days) before a non-conf MNF game

Since there's a short week and the Lions, it's hard to look past this game. It's huge for conference record and playoff position. I see a low scoring affair coming down to the 4th Q with Crosby needing some clutch kicks (he's only missed one inside 49 yards).

[Brohm]

MM on Al and Kamp - no early prognosis but does not look good :shock:

[gbgary]

...

[Fosco33]

MM on Al and Kamp - no early prognosis but does not look good :shock:

If either/both are IR, is there anyone we'd want? I can see living without Kamp as Jones seems serviceable (I'm in the franchise, trade club). It'd hurt his value if it was serious (maybe a 3rd or 4th...).

You have to plan for the eventual retirement for Al or Chuck. I don't see Underwood or TWill as the answer(s). Having Bush in coverage is a huge liability. Big loss.

Interesting personnel decisions coming...

[retailguy]

not complacent...conservative. it shouldn't have been that close...we traded tds for fgs today.

the fgs still don't bother me. that wasn't the problem.

oh, i agree. the problem was the o and d both got conservative in the second half. sf made a play or two also :oops: ...but we do need to get the red zone sorted out since the d is going to be weakened.

[digitaldean]

The way they were trying for more at the end of the first half was encouraging. Unfortunately, the 2nd half playcalling seemed to be the "play not to lose" chapter of MM's playbook.

Grant played a very good game. Best run was his last run into the pile that he broke for 15-20 yards.

Al's injury hurts because we have Calvin Johnson coming up. (he missed the game at GB). If his knee buckled when he planted his foot, it could be scary. Just heard on FOX 11 that Al was able to hobble out of the locker room.

Underwood's 2 penalties were pure bone-headedness. Finley is becoming more of a weapon. Donald Lee is absolutely USELESS as a pass catching TE.

The D got the turnover to help us get the win.

Singletary's challenge was a REAL headscratcher.

It was great that Jennings FINALLY came back from the MIA list today.

[gbgary]

Al was able to hobble out of the locker room.



maybe it's a sprain or a little cartiledge clean out. either way it's a few weeks rather than the season.

edit...on second thought if it was cartiledge he wouldn't be weight-baring so it must be a sprain.

[digitaldean]

Let's hope.

Given the lack of depth at CB, Al's injury hurts more than Kampy's.

you got that right.

I think some people are losing sight of the margin by which the Packers actually won the game:

After halftime, the 49ers never held the ball in a position where one score would tie the game or give them the lead. When you think about it that way, it wasn't nearly as much a "hanging on by the skin of your teeth" victory as some people are making it out to be.

I'm worried about Al Harris though.

Thats not at issue at all, its the way we let the 49ers come back. It was starting to look like the Bucs game again. While the niners have been playing well, they are rebuilding and no way in hell should we be letting them get back into the game.

It took a Brent miracle for the exalted Vikings to beat them. The 49er's have a lot more talent than people give them credit for.

See, that's the rub I can't stand. When GB beats anyone we suck. When the Vikings need a miracle at home to beat SF they ROCK!!!!

The 49ers were a score away from beating Indy, Minnesota, and Houston. They're not a bad team by any means.

it was a six point win and the niners were a 3 and out away from having the ball against a struggling defense. the o got the first downs when they needed them. you know everyone was sweating bullets.

[Brohm]

Couple weeks min for Al and Kamp from WISN but won't know for sure until tomorrow.

keeping fingers crossed!!

[denverYooper]

My God, I hate our Special Teams.

[gbgary]

My God, I hate our Special Teams.

they only had one near disaster today. it's getting better.

[Fritz]

On the plus side, the offense got a huge, huge first down at the end of the game, and MM actually ran the ball a little at the end.

[pbmax]

Pandora. Adware. Not. Cool.

:roll:

[The Shadow]

I thought rookie fullback Quinn Johnson had a huge, pretty unnoticed play today with his push of Rodgers on the late 3rd & inches.
Without that push, Aaron doesn't get there.
And we needed to get there.

[Fosco33]

My God, I hate our Special Teams.

Williams let a few bounce in front of him - and they had a hold on one of those plays.

We had possibility of improving field position a few times and lost it.

Kapinos is below average. His gross (44) and net (35) are crappy. Ryan was axed for better stats. Even Frost had better numbers (except inside the 20s).

Mason is money inside the 50. Our lack of confidence in his big leg had the Packers punt (and then get the INT, TD from the good punt).

I'll 2nd this thought over Lurkers, if 49ers get the ball back and score we are down by 1! It was much closer to a loss than some kinda blowout win.

Actually to be honest that's a crock of shit. They (49ers) got a 10 point swing when a blocked kick popped right into somebody's hands with less than 10 seconds to go in the half. That is the only reason it was close at the end. It seems everyone ignores this fact. Take that out and there isn't a big finish.....no need for Favre to nail it.

But that did happen and they needed an increadible play from BF! And he made it!

That's why its called a football game. Gotta take in all the plays not throw out a few that don't support your theories.

He cost us 15 - 20 yards of field position on 2 occasions today. All he had to do was fair catch the darn ball!
