9ers were 8th in rushing last season? Packers beat 4 teams that ran the ball better last season.
Alex smith has to be perfect and the 9ers D has to give Rodgers no time to throw while still leaving someone to "spy" on him to prevent him scrabbling. The secondary vs the packers WRs is in the packers favor, so it's extremely important to harass Rodgers quickly, and not give him enough time to find an open WR.
Will be excited to see Moss, though I suspect he is a shell of what he was years ago.
Saw this on espn.com today and thought it was kind of interesting about the last time the 9ers beat the Packers - Joe Montana was the 49ers' quarterback, Brett Favre was in college, Aaron Rodgers was 6 years old and Bart Starr was the Packers' all-time passing yardage leader. Also that day, a 26-year-old Jim Harbaugh was completing 14 of 23 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown and a 105.9 NFL passer rating for Chicago during a 26-6 victory at Tampa Bay.
