SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS VS GREEN BAY PACKERS GAMEDAY THREAD - PLAYOFFS- 2013 DIVISIONAL ROUND

Originally posted by Loco49er:

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.

An easy win? Don't think so. This one isn't going to be an easy win for anyone.

CK7...everything from pre-snap reads/adjustments, avoiding delay-of-game penalties, rallying his OL and receivers, accuracy, 2-minute offense, poise, etc. One thing that has worried me about CK7 is that to this point, he has been VERY lucky. The guy should have had close to a dozen turnovers by now. In the playoffs though, everything magnifies and those plays BECOME turnovers. This worries me...clock management and his two-minute offense. If he can keep the TO's down to 0, make the correct pre-snap and in-play reads and run a much better two-minute offense, we have a real shot here!

Culliver is my other worry. He has been getting beat and getting beat BIG on deep sideline routes as of late...some for TD's. He could be that X-factor that helps us win or contributes to a loss.

Coaching - 100% on game plan. This bad boy is on HaRoman here and Fangio better learn from his prevent-a-win defense against the Pats. If the Packers go to a no-huddle, we could be in big time trouble.

I agree with this, although I'm a bit worried about Carlos Rogers covering Cobb. He needs to have a game similar to the one he had in NE, rather than the ones he's had against Cruz and Amendola. I hope Rogers brings his A game.

That's a worry every game for me...dude's been playing half speed all season. I hope he steps it up this off season and earns his big paycheck!

This.....

Justin Smith and Michael Crabtree.

Justin Smith needs to have at least some sort of impact out there if we want our defense to flourish.

Crabtree knows hes pretty much our only option, as a #1 receiver he needs to step his game up and get open despite having double coverage. Its what Moss used to do back in the early 2000's, now lets see if any of that rubbed off on Michael.

Are you a troll? You're calling the 49ers to give up 38 points AT HOME in the PLAYOFFS? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!


Oh man, I needed that laugh today, thanks!

Next time you call a poster here a troll, you are not going to be laughing.

Ill go with Staley on O. For the obvious reason. C. Mathews. Also, earlier this year, and alot last year, the Pack liked to bring Woodson from the same side, and it was very effective. If our ground game cant get going or if they get out ahead early, I could see them moving Hawk over to VD and letting Woodson blitz/cover as he sees fit. This could be a big problem.

Unlike most in the world, I see GB trying to run more than you would think. Their running game isnt great, or even good. But they stick with it and do it enough to keep you honest. If thats the case, interior line is going to need to do well to keep things open for Bowman. (I think Willis will spend alot of time on Finely). Keep them in 3 and longs all day, create enough pressure to make AR dump it off, and make tackles.

I dont think they double Crabs. They put T. Williams on him, Shields on Moss, leave the safetys back and use everyone else in the run game until they either commit 8 in the box or CK starts burning them and they need the extra help on the backside.

My big question going into to this game is the read option. GB struggled against it against the great Joe Webb (granted, they didnt game plan for him), but if CK can get a few big runs early to Mathews side of the field, it really could slow him down and force the Pack to put a spy on CK.

So in short, Ill go with Staley and Bowman. And as a third, either D Walker or Gore as blockers helping on Staleys side of the ball.

Co-sign

dashon and dante gotta set the tone on defense against and lay fools out, like romo said make it a take out game. greg jennings bring out the stretcher, randall cobb bring out the stretcher!

I don't see the loss of Justin Smith or Smith playing at less than full strength as a reason for the Niners to lose this game. The Packers are not a good running team. It's not like they're going to be able to pound the ball over the left side all game. And as far as pass rush goes, Fangio has had a couple of weeks to develop new ways to account for Justin Smith's condition. Just the other day, Fangio said he will not pull a "Shanahan" on Justin Smith (of course, he didn't really put it that way). If Smith is not cutting it or in danger of further injury, Fangio will take him out.

Funny, but I"m thinking about advantages and Smith did beat them once. Just from a schematic point of view

So, your prediction is that a defense which allowed two touchdowns, one coming in garbage time on their field, will allow 38 points on its home field and after 2 weeks to prepare. Hoookay.

I'm about to go to the pinned thread and rewatch the GB game.

Its replaying on NFLN Thursday night.

Just rewatched the offensive plays only (18 minutes).

Wow! GB's coverage sucked! Nearly every 5-12 yard throw was open by a yard or two. Saturday, their entire coverage will depend on the pressure they get. The read option will definitely freeze the rusher. I also wouldn't be surprised if we see some QB draws or Kaep keeps it after his first progression. GB lives and dies by the pressure they get.
