I liked both of them, makes me think the 9ers are good at eyeing good late round Dbs, Brock, Morris and Cooper

They seem to do good with late picks period. Getting good productivity out of them.
I think we should be fine. The Packers don't match up against us well. They do have a running game now, but I think they do not want to take it out of Rodgers hands. The more they pass, the more it plays into our hands.
It's either gonna be a slug fest, or another shoot-out.
There wont be "any" big game in the air...Packers or Niners. The ball is so unpredictable in this weather and it literally hurts like hell when it hits your hands, so expect lots of drops. This game will come down to who runs better and who doesnt turn the ball over. (Im assuming its the Niners)

Don't discount our line or running backs. They are a far better run blocking unit than pass blocking.

It is pretty much just frigid cold, which IMO favors the defense.

The field will be frozen hard ('frozen tundra') = icy = poor footing = usually favors offense if poor footing.
Heard there is heater pipes 10" below ground
The field is in horrible shape, there is literally no grass left so they will be playing in semi heated grass like mud substance so footing is going to be poor. I think that will affect the passing game a bit more than the temperature. Run run run all day long.
Im telling you guys, the heated field will be more of a problem than a help in tomorrows game. The moisture rising from the heated field will do nothing but make the players colder in this weather. It will literally freeze in 5-10 seconds as it rises. The heated field will be a major problem tomorrow.
One of the analysts noted that the coils under the field failed last time out and the field was like a brick...or skating rink.

Probably, but still smarter in everything than someone posting from his room. Well, maybe not video games, porn and texting desperate people who have few options in life.

Like back in the 60s? They've been replaced two or three times since then, haven't heard of any failures in the modern era.
It's a heat wave. Kickoff temp expected to be 4 degrees.

Im proud that it took only 4 replys to state the obvious; that there wont be any snow or ice. Good job my Niner brethren
