Official Packers @ Sanfrancisco Divisional Playoff Round 2012

[LEWCWA]

I have wanted to see this rematch since week 1! Everyone around here saying the Pack not tough enough to play with this team. I don't buy it, Pack didn't play all that well in week 1 and only lost 30-22....The Pack can play with this team no doubt. It will be a tough game, but it should be a toss up. I see a quiet confidence in Arod, Clay and Woodson. They were very understated last night when interviewed and I like that! "Our play will do our talking" type of attitude! SF is stout in the middle, so I think they have to beat them on the edges and be patient.

Finley was originally listed as cramps. Is that bad info or was it simply a hamstring cramp?

It was his uterus cramping...

Last seasons atrocious playoff loss is the real reminder.

Finley has the standard Packers-issue hamstring.

Jordy got kicked in the leg.

That's what they called Shield's injury...and he was out a while. Sure hope Nelson can come back, I was surprised to see him in the game at that point considering he was gimpy and even tweeted before the game that he would only be used in emergencies.

To win this game we have to play our best game of the year. We simply do not match well with the 49ers. The defense has to force turnovers otherwise I see them giving up a lot of points. On offense the oline has to play their asses off and Rodgers cannot hold on the ball long. I really hope MM goes to the short quick passing game most of the game. Must win the turnover battle to win this game.

The Niners offense is not that good and the Packer defense is not that bad. I think our main issue is protection of Rodgers and ability to craft some wrinkles into the game plan off 3 and 5 step drops that are designed to have Rodgers get the ball out quickly. He simply can't stand in the pocket for 5+ seconds and take big losses against this defense.

Why is this on game saturday? Damnit, I can't post much during game then!! And you won't like that.

[Freak Out]

How cool would it be to pay the Chickens back in GB for the title? They scare me more than the 69ers do at this point. It's going to be interesting to see the injury status of the good guys as the week goes on. Who pays center this week?

Jesus fucking Christ Harrell....put a bit more effort into the thread title will ya.

Hope Kaepernick comes out tight in his first playoff game like the other rooks this weekend.

SF D has been just plain mediocre since Justin Smith went out. The guy has a torn triceps. He's not going to be even close to the guy he was. Aldon Smith, in particular, and their entire pass rush generally, has been a mess since the monster in the middle left the field in New England.

We are going to carve them up and eat them for dinner like we're Tiny Tim sitting down for his first Christmas feast. Fuck the 49ers and their, "foaming at the mouth" head coach.

[RashanGary]

Oh, and Gore has lost a step. I've watched a few games this year and he's not even the same guy he was last year, let alone Adrian Peterson. He still runs between the tackles about as well as AP, but the guy has no where near the breakaway speed of AP on the outside.

I like Kapernick, but I don't think he's ready for this stage. He'll make enough misthrows, bad decisions and "hold the ball too long sacks" for us to take advantage of. He's no Aaron Rodgers.

Candle stick park is no toilet bowl when it comes to noise, and we might have as many fans in that shit hole as they do. I'm not expecting some big home field advantage for them.

They don't scare me. I think we have this one.

Sorry for you guys that apparently didn't see the Minnesota game; because seeing Joe Webb as practice for Colin Kaepernick is suicide!

Colin Kaepernick>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Joe Webb

Niners D will force & recover minimum 1 turnover versus Pack plus at least 3 sacks on AR and a shitload of hits/hurries on AR. Pack 25%, Niners 75% of a win.

Pft! 99% Niners, 1% Pack - Game over.

Could you please display more confidence.

The 49ers are less effective when you come out and smack them in the mouth like the Giants, Rams and Seahawks.

IMO the Packers will come out and smack the niners.

I actually like that they faced Webb this week, because it will be a very similar look next week. Granted, Kapernuts can actually throw a ball within 5 yards of the receivers, but he's not really all that accurate as a passer.

Agree. As the Packers saw versus Vikings in Week 17, its a bad idea against a good rushing attack is to get too aggressive and open holes and gaps.

The same discipline that helped versus Webster and Peterman will go a long way toward corralling the 49ers. Their better QB might win a few more battles, but the approach should be the same. Stay home.
