Official Packers at 49ers Divisional Round Discussion Thread

[RashanGary]

I don’t like AJ Dillon much, but he is a mudder. His movement is lowsy but it doesn’t change at all when the field gets sloppy. Everyone else seems to lose some movement and the ol slug just stays at his 100%.

I hope Dillon can go. I could see him having a big day.

Even if he doesn't have a big day, having to tackle him about 15 times can take a toll as the game wears on.

Puncher's chance, IMO.

At this point in the season, however, I think Love > Purdy.

Hopefully the weather forecast is wrong. Because if it isn't now we have to look at run games.

I said it before, and I'll say it again, the 49ers are NOT as good as the team we beat last week.

What caused Joe Barry to go to his new-found "cloud" D/partly two deep shell, partly three deep, I'm not sure. The amazing thing was that the Packer D did it without obvious weakness up front both against the run and pressure on the QB. Against the Niners, there will be a less mobile QB, so maybe we go to more blitzing. I like it, though, that we have that umbrella pass coverage rather than pass rush that "almost" gets the QB.

The Packers exposed what was thought to be a top flight D last week. Theoretically, the Niners front as well as their secondary are not as good as the Cowboys. We ought to be able to move the ball and score on them with all the weapons we have. Trying to look at it from the perspective of an opposing DC, how are you gonna shut down all the Packer receivers? The answer would seem to be to rush Love. I like the fact that Love has been dropping back significantly deeper than Rodgers used to do. That plus his mobility should be able to nullify Bosa and the rest of the Niners pass rush the same as it did Parsons and other Cowboy pass rushers.

I'm expecting another dominating performance and win.

Really?? The 49ers crushed the Cowgirls 42-10. Sure seems like that would point to SF being the better team but maybe I am wrong.

I'm pretty dialed in to CA weather; the models are increasingly in agreement about the upcoming weekend and it being wet, the main event may be Sunday, but we will see. There is some suggestion of a 'mini' Atmospheric River.

I watched that game. It was the Stone Valley Prison Murderer's Row vs. the Sweet Sister's of Delicate Mercy.

Like yesterday, it was a Beat Down, but without Joe Barry's prevent (victory) defense. The Niners know how to keep their boot on an opponent's neck

Niners >>>>> Dallas.

Funny moment at the end of the game: camera is on McCarthy as he walks up to Prescott, McCarthy gives him that shrug with his head cocked and the corner of his mouth lifted like you see in the memes; kind of "WTF you gonna' do? We got handled." I actually appreciate McCarthy and his loyalty to his guys.

Brock Purdy 9.25” hands
Jordan Love 10.5” massive GB QB standard paws

As Favre proved, ogre hands are bad as props for persuasive dick pics, but they’re good for rain days and cold days.


The only thing better than the coolish (55*) wet conditions is if the wind upticks from 10-15 to 15-20. I don’t think Purdys small hands or his average nfl arm strength are going to lend to any sort of advantage in these types of conditions.



Further, AJ Dillon is a gold star certified mudder. His lack of agility is such a problem, he’s not even an average running back on most days. But when sloppy conditions even the agility playing field, everyone else comes down to his level and now his other qualities aren’t buried by his horrendous glaring weakness.

Not only can we win, we can win while giving jones a rest week and be ready to finish off the NFC and head to the Super Bowl.

Sometimes all this “size of their hands” talk makes me wonder if this is code….

I don’t know who has an advantage in the mud, but damn it’ll be fun to watch a game with muddy jerseys and facemasks with sod stuck in them. That’s football. Fuck them domes.

[QBME]

I don’t know shit about x’s and o’s.

There’s been a bit of conversation on the forum relating to “who is the number one receiver?”

A couple, three weeks ago Tucker Kraft was knocking on the HOF door.

Then Wicks.

Then Reed.

Now Doubs.

Sheesh.

MLF has figured it out. He doesn’t scheme any particular plan. He waits to see what the other defense is planning and adjusts.

Receivers don’t care. Jordon don’t care.

Offense in control.

[George Cumby]

^ If current results are a harbinger of things to come, I'm all for a system that exploits different match-ups/skillsets depending on the opponent.

[Fritz]

To me, the big question is how the Packers come out of the tunnel. As I posted on another thread, the last couple games out there in the playoffs, the Packers looked confused and whipped from the opening whistle.

So it'll be interesting to see if they come out with a little fire.

[Teamcheez1]

If my memory serves me correctly about recent history , we have usually gone into the playoffs believing the defense would let us down, but it was the special teams and offense that laid an egg.

Maybe our offense can keep us in the game this time.

Pretty sure we just crushed Dallas at their own place a couple days ago. Burrow was 28/32 for 283 and 3 TDs against SF. No reason 10VE can't do the same.

Exactly. Rodgers would do like Dak did Sunday and let the pressure get to him. It was always the same situation except SF being the team with nothing to lose. That Packers had a constant desperation feel the last few years in the playoff. That’s what has made this season so fun. The youngsters just don’t give a damn because there is still a tomorrow for them.
