Official Packers @ Sanfrancisco Divisional Playoff Round 2012

[Joemailman]

This game scares me. While SF hasn't been playing their best ball as of late, there is still a ton of talent on that team.

What does everyone think of Kapernick? He seems to have cooled off since his hot start. Hopefully his hot start was a result of limited tape versus unbelievable talent. Hopefully the Pack can shut him down.

I'm thinking it's going to take 25 points to win the game. I hope we can do it against that tough D.

A lot could depend on whether Justin Smith can play effectively. Their defense has been much less impressive with him out.

Was he out against NE? I saw parts of their comeback and SF didn't look as good as I imagined they would. Hopefully, he's out this weekend.

OL vs SF D. If the Packer OL can keep Rodgers off his ass most of the game GB wins.

I admit I got a little carried away with my insulting thread of the Vikings after the loss last week. Got a little sick of the All Day and other Viking homage going on. Wanted to remind everyone we've got something good going on over here, in spades.

I'm not going to insult the niners. I was there opening day for the loss and knew they beat us straight up, no complaints.

But I will point out advantages and not concede an inch of ground to them.

don't go soft on us now......rip the Niners....their coach is a prick

At least All Day is a decent guy....and the MVP

That's the game where he got hurt. He did not play in the 2nd half.

I think this is it.

Collinsworthless said it the other night - and others have echoed it - that Rodger's numbers were so gaudy last year, that he's being compared to that, rather than to the NFL; still they compared him with Manning and it's essentially a dead heat. I say ignore all the comments and just win games.

This is why that article is ridiculous. Because he was so fabulous last season the "experts" will now expect him to replicate that every year - and when he doesn't they will say he isn't playing well which is bull shit. All I will say to all this garbage is I will take Rodgers over EVERY OTHER QB in this league - including His Highness Peyton Manning and Brady.

What's that? I've heard of it, distant memory though.

There was one play action roll out against the Vikings that I remember. I think it was the recent playoff game, but it might have been from 2010 as well.

Seriously though, I said it before and I will say it again our O will beat their D if Smith is limited / out. If not then our D has to win this game. I am not saying our O isn't great, just our line is still jelling. It has been a while since the line has played 3 games in a row with the same players (I believe the first 4 games were the same line). This will be the third game with this group of starters. Now we will know if they are worth a damn as a unit.

Capernick will be a big challenge to our D, but I do like our outside match ups in the passing game on D.

As good as Barclay has been - The Bruce Wilkerson Award, baby! - if I could have any one player back for this playoff run, it'd be Bulaga.

Or Bishop. Wait, no, Bulaga.

Whooo boy. I'd have to go with Bish.

FWIW, Aikman was on Mike and Mike this morning and, though he didn't say anything really insightful, was complementary of the Packers. He said the Packers and Niners were both very well coached teams that did all of the little things right and didn't generally make big mistakes.

Per M3, Jordy is going to sit out today and try to go tomorrow.

Man....we need Jordy in there...get well soon!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Practice? Jordy don't need no stinking practice.

What did you expect? 'ol Troy to head out on a limb? Mike and Mike could interview a Chunky Soup can and it would be more interesting.
