Official Packers vs. 49ers Game Day Thread

[pbmax]

On the final set of downs for GB at the goalline did Rodgers miss a chance to run it in? A friend mentioned today that Rodgers should have "ran it in"...and he was a pussy for not taking the shot. I remember a play at midfield or there about that might fit that description...but not on that set of goaline plays.....? Anyone see that as well?

He had open space in front of him but no blocking. Three 49ers were close enough to interfere if they saw him. It would have been close.

Thats what I saw as well...to close unless there are absolutely no other options.

I think there was a brief hole that looked like Rodgers could have made the end zone but the 49ers defense closed that way too quickly for Rodgers to get there.

That's the way I remember it. I said "Run!" but then a second later saw why he didn't.

I agree with your friend. I just watched the replay and Rogers may have made it to the goal line if he had been aggressive. Whether he would have scored, I don't know, but he would have made going for it on fourth down mighty tempting.

I think there was a penalty on that play and SF declined it because it was obvious that GB would kick the field goal. That's why Rodgers slid down instead of going all Lacy on that run.

If Rodgers had been more aggressive and got closer to the goal line, SF would probably have accepted the penalty, giving the Pack another kick at the can.

I believe Stubby got way too conservative in the situation (playing for the tying field goal). There was about 5 minutes left. If I were Stubby I would have not kicked the field goal but went for the TD. If I make it, SF has 5 minutes to score a TD as opposed to a field goal to win. If I didn't make it, the score is still 20 to 17 and SF has the ball on the five yard line and is very conservative. Consequently, GB has a better chance at a stop and getting the ball back.

i thought i remembers 2 defenders between him and the goal line

a rod would have had to lower his busted shoulder and try and plow two guys over

and like has been mentioned, there was a flag on the play that was declined by SF. if he had scored a td it wouldn't have counted anyways

Most likely he would not have scored, but very likely he would have gained another two or three yards if he had not hesitated and been more aggressive. Does SF still decline the penalty with the ball on the two or three? Unlikely. If they do, Stubby has a decision to make. If they don't, GB has third down with the ball on the 19.

That series pisses me off still today.

1st down run with Cobb??? GTFO. Keep Lacy in and he's running it if anyone. Hell I'd have takena play action call there look for the Fb or TE in the flat. So most anything other than the bs he called there with Cobb.

Cobb as a RB outside the 20's? Hell yeah. Why not. Inside the 20? Fuck No. Put him in the slot

[Freak Out]

It's worked before though if I remember correctly.....but shit....whats done is done.

[Joemailman]

People are acting like a running play that gained 1 yard cost the Packers the game. I didn't like the call, but Lacy probably had some 1 yard runs too. The Packers had 2 more shots at it, and Rodgers couldn't find anyone open.

Red zone trouble again. Packers need to hire Bubba Franks.
