You have to take the whole thing into account. Being really good against the run does absolutely nothing for you against teams like the Saints and Packers. You know, the last two Super Bowl winners. Its the 21st century now. You can't get away with running the ball and stopping the run. Running teams don't win Super Bowls anymore.

Yet.

It has been a while since we've seen a running team win but then again it is difficult to find a truly elite workhorse RB in the mold of Walter Payton, Emmit Smith or Otis Anderson these days. That genre of players are a very rare commodity it seems. It appears that the 49ers have just that kind of throwback player in Frank Gore. As teams have concentrated their resources on the defensive side to halt the passing offenses, there may be some room to exploit their deficiencies on run defense. The 49ers could be one of the very few teams uniquely qualified to achieve such a feat with Gore and an revitalized offensive line leading the way. This likely depends on coaching and that staff creating a specific game plan to maximize those strengths and exploit the opponents' weaknesses. The 80's NY Giants were a team that had the planning and personnel to bring a very potent 49er offense, full of all time great players, to a grinding pace. Those lower scoring games generally gave the Giants a very good chance for victory. Without dismissing the great success that Green Bay has had this season, that team does not appear to have nearly the talent that 80's 49ers possessed. As for the 49er defense, they have potential to be great, but legends are made in the postseason. That's where they can write their script.

I think a lot of people have an incorrect assumption about us when they use the term "running team." Running team, to most people, means a team that scores around 17 points, shortens the game, and plays great defense.

We are ranked #7 in points per game. THIS running team can score some points. THAT, my friends, is a recipe for a superbowl.

You guys C'mon man. We do not know who are we going to play in the nfc championship game. It could be Chicago IN chicago? It would be anyone at anywhere because we still have half the season to play. To say "we can beat GB" is so arrogant on soooo many levels. You're assuming that they will breeze through the playoffs without anyone having a chance to win or we will automatically go to the NFC championship game without breaking a sweat. We need to play our divisional opponent as well as our wild card opponent (if it comes down to that) Let's focus on this season and revisit this if need be.

Who's looking ahead? I thought we are discussing how they would matchup if they played now.

Out of almost 50 Super Bowls, you're able to name a whopping 2 nobodies who QB'd the winning team. Think about that.

Top flight QBs win the majority of championships.

Yea like Bradshaw, Namath, Plunkett, McMahon, Simms, Doug Williams, Rypien, Eli Manning and dare i say Elway all avg quarterbacks with the exception of Elway but imo he was garbage his first 10 yrs.

Quite true, the 49ers are one of the truly well balanced teams currently in the league and that is part of the reason they can score. This team has an uncommon and valuable quality of being able to win by either employing a pass or run first offense. Not many teams can genuinely claim to have demonstrated this, but this team can. It seems that all facets have come to see fruition this season.

Why do you thinks that 49ers will beat GB? Why you are all excite about it? idiot the questions because you are all ego s**t.. You need all calm down and be cool. You need to be patience if 49ers will challenge vs GB in playoff.. then they will beat GB in playoff then Championship for real.. You need be patience man.. Wait and see till playoff!! Lets Go 49ers!!

I love when people have to lie to themselves about another team to take their minds off their mediocre at best football team (Furlow)! The Packers have played NO ONE?? The Falcon or Saints are NO ONE?? The Bears in Soldier field.....roughest rivalry in NFL history! I understand that you are within the protection of your fellow 49ers fans here but woooooooow!!!! Even they must know the dumb(ness) that speak is flat out embarrasing!! The Green Bay Packers are the best for multiple reasons and only a coward scared and weak minded person would say such foolish things! Bring the 49ers any day off the week and I promise you that they will be slaughtered worse than some of the actual good teams that the Packers have already beat! You just sound like a small child defending his daddys favorite football team, and obviously not ready to give an honest analisys on football!!

Falcons and Saint's are not playing like years before if you want to make comparisons to good teams. Plus you played them all early in the year which they were playing ball even worse then they are playing now.

Your offense hasn't played a Top ten Defense ! or played even a decent Running team !

c'mon man !

GB can possibly lose 3 in a row these next three games !

I wouldn't say they haven't played anyone, but I would say that you obviously don't know what you are talking about if you think your non defending packers would slaughter a good defense. Your team hasn't been tested against a good defense yet, the best team your pack has faced was a bears team that was trying to win by throwing the ball when their pass protection broke down. San Diego gave the packers all they could handle and then some. If Rivers wasn't sucking this year your team loses that game because they couldn't cover the one receiver he kept throwing to. I can't wait to see how the bears play the pack now that they realize they have a top running back to chew up the clock. You better hope that you guys offensive line can keep captain concussion healthy against the defensive lines coming up in the schedule, he is the only thing keeping that team competitive. Good luck, see you in January.

They played the bears and Vikings but both teams stupidly went away from the running game, well the Vikings ran all over the pack the first meeting. The part about not facing a top defense is true though. They will get their chance though.

Bears didn't even try to run and Minn mostly got their yardage in the first half because Minn D gave up 20 in the 3rd Qtr

This game if we meet is starting to remind me of the NYG/ NE SB everyone said pats where unbeatable and NY def won that game with eli as a game manager. we are looking like the ravens/tampa/NYG super bowl winning teams. they all faced good offences and won. Defence wins championships

I was thinking of the samething earlier today......can't wait...

How about we take the necessary steps into getting in a game between us and the Pack. Depending on our finishing record that could mean 1 or 2 playoff wins before facing them.

Let's be a little humble here guys

Players should remain humble, fans on the other hand should not....

that pack fan had too much cheese, hes farting out of his mouth
