LOL. Love it...some guys just have that winning luck (Montana's near pic in the EZ - Superbowl), Rodgers, Brees (not this year), etc.

Good read, we better have changed our defensive game plan..or we might get burnt

Even a defense with very good personnel can be beaten if they become predictable. The Bear game earlier this season is a good example. I recall Kaepernick responding to an interviewer about the challenge of that highly regarded defense by saying, "they did exactly what we had game planned for. They did not surprise us." Hopefully Harbaugh/Fangio have learned a lesson from that and will change up some things. To this point, the 49er defense has been pretty much the same in every game. Against a very bright quarterback like Rodgers, that approach could be the kiss of death.

Greetings 9er fans. First of all just want to say that this Packer fan has nothing but the utmost respect for your team and your coaches. Very few teams in history have come so far so fast. There can be no dispute that the four best teams in the NFC will all be representing this weekend. I can't remember divisions match-ups every being as good as we got going on here in 2013. I don't know about ya'll but I am bleepin excited. Anyway, I am predicting a great game and probably a close game. I have no idea who is going to win and neither do you. You may think I am crazy but I am somewhat glad to be on the road (See: Green Bay vs Atlanta 1/15/11 or Green Bay vs Chicago 1/23/11). I just hope it comes off clean and untainted (See: Jerry Rice Fumble 1998 Wildcard) and the best team rolls on.

Anyway I hope I am welcome here I might like to drop in again. I mean it's all about fun, isn't it? So good luck to you all. And if you don't believe in luck then you need to watch more football.

you will not need luck in this game because your team is playing good football, our team plays two quarters then stumbles around like the keystone cops. we have crabs but then nothing after that in terms of wide outs. moss is nice but is 35, no third wide out, tight ends suck right now and you guys actually find a way to use that little former used car salesman running back. 38-28 packers and then you win the super bowl cuz you will host seattle and whip their ass. the super bowl winner is not coming out of the afc this year

Carlos Rogers (going up against the slot/Cobb) and Anthony Davis (or whoever has to block Clay Matthews).

- I still have nightmares about fast slot guys torching Rogers whenever we bring him into the slot.
- I feel like the GB pass rush will be exotic and difficult to decipher with Matthews and Woodson finally healthy and rolling.

Not to discount the importance of the other players listed here, but (i) if we can't get off the field because Cobb is always open on 3rd down and (ii) the GB pass rush makes life difficult for CK7, our kicking game (because we wont be in range) and our pass rush (because Rodgers has a fast enough release) do not have relevance.

We need huge games by Rogers and Davis.

LMJ and Walker, they are gonna double VD and crabs, and try to stop gore... If these guys can make plays that continue drives and get points on the bored it will make the difference.

I can pretty much guarantee Crabtree will not be doubled. Vernon Davis is a much bigger threat to the Packers.

Why is nobody talking about our oline? These guys when rested take over football games. When they are clicking they are once in a decade type of line at running the ball. If you ask me this game was decided when the niners got the bye. They can't stop gore without loading the box. We know what kap does to defenses when that happens!

He'll yeah the biggest part of the game is an afterthought to most when they hear the mighty self-loving Rodgers is on the field it should be great. And I think bj Rajis aggressive style will bite him in the ass this game

the reason why we do not talk about the o line because the suck in pass protection. i am sure mathews will school the over rated staley and ck will be a more tatooed version of joe webb due to the packers defense

We have to use same formula that we used against Pats. Start fast and with a lot of energy, Pressure the QB, tackle hard and all it moves, and we are going to be just fine.

The energy must not drop after 2 quarters....

Our running game and defense are key in this game!!

Go Niners!!

Of course you're welcome... if you can help make the time go faster until the game!

I can't help but wonder if this game comes down to a long FG as time expires, in a 1 point game.

What do you guys think would be the Offensive game plan going in?

Im setting all baises aside on this one. I've been a advocate Keap man waaaay before he got the nod so know I'm really scheming on this one. I think starting Alex this game if only for the first half would trick up all game planning the Packers have done. If he can run away with were in the NFCCG if this is not effective We go with our guy FRESH late in the game to bring home the victory. As much as I don't want to see AS back out there, I think the strategy could pull off the win.

Don't think so.

The best game plan you can think of is to start Alex Smith? lol

It might trick the Packers for maybe one series.... so no

Packers have been playing better defense as of late. That means we need to stick to what brought us here, and that's FRANK GORE!!!

Didn't look up Vernon's stats against the pack. But I know he has dominated them in the past. Get Vernon going and everything opens up. Also I think p. Willie needs to have have a quintessential side line to side line all over the field type of game and out perform clay matthews

Kaep and Goldson

If J. Smith plays and is effective then the 49ers have a chance. If not, then it will be an easy win for the Pack. It's amazing how bad the defense plays without Cowboy (the Cardinals game was essentially a pre-season game). Baalke better do whatever it takes to find his successor this offseason. Everyone will be looking at the QBs but my eyes will be on #94.

I think one thing all 49ers and Packers fan agree on is that this matchup can go either way if either team gets their strengths going.

The biggest thing we can all agree on is to hope that this game is a well-officiated game and there are no injuries.


Please o please hope the refs are on their"A" game Saturday.
