Can MLF keep alive his streak of not losing consecurive games?

Injuries continue to pile up for 49ers. Both Garoppolo and Kittle exited from the game today with injuries.

I think they bounce back; the 49ers have a ton of injuries so they are game to be defeated.

The burning question is, is our D Line so bad that anybody can run on us? Or is Dalvin Cook just that good? The Niners couldn't run today on the Seahawks' notoriously bad D. Pettine damn well better figure something out to at least slow SF down. The Packers offense has still been at least decent even with the injuries. I think the Packers take care of business.

Prediction: they get rolled and Pet is out the do’ by Monday morning.

Packers gonna win.... Convincingly.

Dalvin Cook is really, really good but the Niners and Kyle the-best-coach-in-the-nfl Shanahan will just run every single play and the Packers won't know how to or have the personal to stop it.

Maybe, but they're really hurting at RB right now. Yesterday after Tevin Coleman left with a knee injury, they had a guy run 12 times for 29 yards.

That same guy will go 14 for 83 against the Packers

AJ Dillon positive for covid.

Imagine Thur is at risk.

AJ Dillon positive for covid.

Do they have to shut down the facility?
What has triggered shutdowns for other teams?

[Fosco33]

They went virtual and doing contract tracing. As it can take 1-3 days for incubation / rest of RBs and QBs are of key concern.

[RashanGary]

Well, there's a chance we don't play on Thursday of a bunch of positives come in on Wednesday. Probably not the worst thing at this time of year for guys to take a physical break. Even if they were to not practice and workout less for this short week, I don't think it hurts them.in the long run. But..... Covid is kinda peaking right now and it's nearly impossible to avoid. It might throw a wrench in the season if it spirals

[RashanGary]

Weirdly, kind of an ideal scenario would be to miss one game and the NFL decides to call it a tie. One less game would be good for their bodies. Doubt that will happen but it's possible

[Joemailman]

This is kind of worst case scenario. Player tests positive 1 day after playing in a game. He had 10 snaps on offense and 7 on special teams. How many players on both teams did he come into contact with?

Unless it turns out to be a false positive, it's a given he won't play Thursday. So I guess they activate Dexter Williams and hope Jones can go.

[RashanGary]

If Dillon is out, Jones coming back would be big. Dexter, physically, is explosive, fast and strong. Mentally, he seems a lotta bit not there. He's a worst case fit for the tight ship Rodgers runs on offense.

Best case is Jones is healthy. However, the Packers seem to like to give 3 weeks or even more for muscle strains under MLF. Jones seems 50/50 at best.

I would like to see the outside zone with dexter. He's gets to the outside aiming points in a hurry and has a hell of a first cut. There might be some fun in watching him run.
