Official Niners at Green Bay, Divisional Round Discussion Thread:

Let's not forget that in addition to the sprained shoulder, Jimmy G. also has has a fractured thumb on his throwing hand. Not exactly ideal for the niners.

Some speculation he may not even start this week. Big edge at the most important position on the field. Me likey.

I'll listen to the local SF station tomorrow. See what the local broadcasters have to say.

Maybe. Could be 49ers want the Packers to have to prepare for 2 QB's with different skill sets.

Replay of 37 second drive to beat 49ers in September.

I fear Trey Lance more than Jimmy G. You know how well the Packers defense plays against runny QBs - not well at all. Shades of Collin Kap.

I would think so.

Anyone concerned about Bak not practicing today? "Load Management?" He has not practiced since last Thursday.

Nah, bring on Trey Lance. Rookie in Lambeau facing Rodgers and the Pack. I like that match up.

Could be. But the fact remains he does have a fractured thumb on his throwing hand and a sprained right shoulder as well. He's damaged goods.

Packers in much better shape at the QB position.

My thoughts exactly. Jimmy is a known fuckup. Lance will probably come in and become famous against the fucking Packers. I can’t bet against Rodgers. He is due and sure he’s not gonna let these fuckers beat him at home.

Stop wasting your breath. It's obvious SF has no chance

I totally agree it seems unusual. My guess is all of this talk about Z, Jaire, Bak, etc is overstated and in the case of Z and Jaire won't be big contributors, but more depth pieces. etc. Hope I'm wrong.

With MVS and sullivan returning yesterday, are we missing anyone of significance besides Elgton?? And yes, I agree with CMI, they will all be rusty and on limited snaps, but getting them back in any capacity is a plus, and if we can beat SF their contributions will increase weekly.

3 years in a row we have won out of the playoff bye. Or at least this will be the third year in a row.

Not concerned this weekend if we throw the dam ball.

Next week on the other hand...

Two things to hammer home to the team:

1. Bring it. Be physical.

2. Do your job. Just do your job. Don't undo the whole scheme by trying to make a splash play that takes you out of position. Just do your job.

These things happen, the Packers win.
