Official Packers @ Sanfrancisco Divisional Playoff Round 2012

I see you are a 'glass is half-empty' sort of guy. Erin Andrews reporting from the sidelines. That's a glass that is more than half-full.

Good thing Musburger isn't doing the game.

Damn! That Barnwell article on Grantland has me fired up.

Highlights:
- Huge drop down in rush production from Gore 2nd half of season
- Kaepernick fumbles a lot
- Kendall Hunter is OUT? This guy was huge as a change-up 3rd down guy for the Niners. I don't remember him hurting his knee in week 11 ... explains a lot. Underrated Xfactor on offense.
- Niners hadn't allowed 26 points in a game all year and did in consecutive halves vs Pats/Hawks.
- Jarrett Bush isn't starting this game = Hayward/Shields superior

And great point by some about fatigue factor for the defense. I guess they basically rotate (if you could call it that) 12 or 13 guys... good chance that's attributing to breakdown and fall off.

They are trending down, we aren't. Nothing is a guarantee, but I'm thinking more and more that the Pack will put it off!

The week one game is on NFL Network right now. Our defense is so much better than it was in week one. This is an amazing thing, because we're missing about 25 players on defense that were starting earlier this year.

We just faced a better back than Frank Gore and an un-scoutted Joe Webb who is as dangerous as a runner as Kaepernick is. Kaepernick can throw the ball around a bit, but we'll put Williams on Crabtree, Manningham is out.

We also don't have the replacement officials, who not only had some awful calls in this game, they weren't efficient in spotting the ball, which fucked up our no-huddle.

We're both different teams, but I think our different is better than their different at this point in the season.

Per the Packers.com website.

- FOX Sports, now in its 19th season as an NFL network television partner, will broadcast the game to a national audience.
- Play-by-play man Joe Buck and color analyst Troy Aikman will have the call from the broadcast booth with Pam Oliver and Erin Andrews reporting from the sidelines.

We get Buck and Aikman on Saturday night. Damn!

Great, we're gonna lose and I have to listen to those A-holes in the process.

[digitaldean]

YIPPEE. We get the metro Joe BUCKhead and insufferable TroyACHEman.

Aikman is so bad I actually wouldn't mind having Ron Pitts for this one...

How often do you think the Packers will be in the "Red Area" on Saturday?

Manningham is also out, and Smith is wearing the Gilbert Brown memorial torn Biceps harness. How that works out is a huge factor.

Radio my man. Or if you are out of area, get League Pass. I think they offer a discount after the Regular Season ends.

Seriously? He called it the Red Area? He might need Bernie's brain damage treatment regimen.

I actually like Joe Buck, I think he has pretty exciting play by play. And Sorry to disappoint but you will have to listen to them again the following sunday when we play @ ATL at 3:00 ET.

What's the over/under on him calling Randall Cobb "Reggie Cobb?"

[Fritz]

What's the over/under on him calling Randall Cobb "Reggie Cobb?"

This kind of stuff is my big beef: while they're waxing unelegantly about their latest narrative of the game (how physical the Niners are, Rodgers' post-season legacy, who the MVP should be, whatever), I'm screaming at the bastards because Clay Matthews hasn't been on the field with the defense for the last three plays and I'm worried he's hurt. Or suddenly Van Roten is playing tight end, and I'm wondering what formation this is. Or I'd like to know which Packer special teamer threw that great block to spring Jeremy Ross.

But no. It's the tired storyline, over and over.

I can't stand these national announcers. Do your homework. Know the rosters, inside and out, like the fans do. It's the playoffs, man.

[ThunderDan]

I see you are a 'glass is half-empty' sort of guy. Erin Andrews reporting from the sidelines. That's a glass that is more than half-full.

You get to see Erin for all of 45 seconds during a game. You have to listen to Buck and Aikman for 2 hours and 40 minutes.

One day till we put the rabid coach with the foaming mouth to rest. . .


Go Pack!
