Puncher’s chance next week?

[Vincenzo]

It was only a few weeks ago our Packers got embarrassed in SF, 37-8. It was an absolute dismantling.
Me being a realist ffs, I wanted to ask you Rats if we have at least a “Puncher’s chance?”
C’mon, playing on house money can we keep it going?

They play the games for a Reason....GO PACK GO

2 things give Packers a shot. In the other game, Bulaga left early and I believe I recall Bakhtiari had a bad game. That made the offense dysfunctional. Both these guys have been great the last month. The other is that the Packers defensive secondary seems to have fixed the communication errors that were killing them in October and November. Packers are great in close games. Keep it close and they have a shot.

Puncher's chance for sure. But SF is scary to me.

Of course. Main reason being Rodgers has the huge playoff edge. This is his fourth NFC Championship Game appearance and he's won a Super Bowl. He's been there, done that.

Meanwhile, it's Jimmy G's 2nd playoff game ever.

That counts for a lot this time of year.

Gotta win the turnover battle, like at least +2.

[pbmax]

More than a punchers chance. Need to keep it close.

Offense can't funkify for so long next week.

Win turnover battle
Do a better job in pass protection
Stop the run

[RashanGary]

I'd call 49ers the favorite but we have every bit the chance Seattle had tonight or better.

Packers:
Secondary: Good
Linebackers: Good
DL: Solid

QB: great
RB: really good
OL: really good
WRs: solid
TEs: servicable

STs: good

The Packers don't have a weakness. They could beat anyone.

[esoxx]

49ers favored by 7 on early Vegas line.

[pbmax]

Bobble, I need to make a wager!

If Bulaga and Baktiari play their best games of the season and the D plays a tremendous game, the Packers will win. If they keep the pocket clean for Aaron, they will win, but that is a very daunting task. Nick Bosa is a bad enough dude to save the President.

Best Puncher’s scene ever:

As posted earlier on another thread, hell yes we have a chance.
Please see Mike Vrabel and the Titans.

I'm more optimistic about the Niners game than before tonight. Garrofalo ain't remotely close to as good as Wilson. If we put similar pressure on him, we will get a dozen or so sacks. Not only that, Wilson is not much below Rodgers in terms of not throwing interceptions; Garrofalo on the other hand, will throw a few to the other team.

Of course, the Niners have a better O Line for pass protection and probably a better running game, and their D is better at least than the way Seattle played in the second half.

Just the same, if the Packers O Line can hold up at least a little bit, and our D can pass rush and stop the run while not failing completely in pass coverage, then we should win.
