Pregame Thread: 49ers vs Packers - 2015 Week 4

Hyde has to have a big day for us to have a shot at winning. Also need to unleash Kap as a runner. Capers has been consistently potato against Kap, never figured out how to slow him down.

Yeah, 49ers have to run the ball, and get TD's not FG's, keep Rodgers off the field as much as possible and keep scoring.

Maybe wearing pink accessories on their uniforms for breast cancer awareness month will help the team win tomorrow. I have no proof it's a good omen, just can't think of anything else.

They should wear the black uni's. It would really make the pink pop

All we need are two 30 minute drives that end in FG's. We got this.

15 carries, 41 yards, 2.7 ypc for Lynch
11 carries, 49 yards, 4.5 ypc for Charles

Charles ypc average was pretty decent but he was still held to just 49 yards rushing. Making two of the best running backs in the league a complete nonfactor in back to back games is fantastic. Their DL has just mauled the opposing OL in those two games. Most of these stats are so inflated because of the week one performance. Why more people don't give one of the better overall defenses in the league so far this year some respect is a real head scratcher. And now they get back from suspension Guion, who was a key piece in the run defense as last season progressed.

After a 4 interception performance against Arizona some people may think I'm crazy for starting Colin Kaepernick in my fantasy league this week but he is a straight Packers killer!!! After Brett Farve spent my entire childhood years as the bane of my 49ers existence I'm glad that it has come full circle and now our own gunslinger has the packers number! 4 touchdown performance, 1 on the ground, 300 yards in the air over 100 yards rushing in an upset win over the pack Book it!!!!

Lynch was banged up, and the Chiefs were taken out of their run game early due to being behind 24-7 by halftime. Pack offense had something to do with that, they are hard to stop and force teams to play from behind. Didn't stop Charles, he was productive with the touches he had and scored 3 TDs in the game.

The DL is solid, but the LB core is poor in run defense.

Again, dead last in yards per attempt. Dead last in run defense DVOA, which takes into account opponent and game situation. 24th in run defense grade, per PFF.

I respect their team and the fact they are a much better football team than we are, but you can't make the case they are a good run-stopping unit through 3 weeks. If there is one way the 49ers can have success against the Pack, it's on the ground. Guion coming back is a nice addition. I still think it's the LB core that's not playing the run well.

Niners!!!

Purty please play good won't you...

Still trying to figure out if I should take the family to the science center and enjoy the day or sit at home and watch the game and be miserable yet again.. Hmmm

I'm cautiously optimistic.... I still don't think that we are as bad as we've appeared the past two weeks. I mean.... we beat the Vikings handily and they are sitting at 2-1 now. We've got a young team with lots of new faces. Maybe they just haven't figured out how to play well on the road yet.

This seems like a law of averages game. Will be a surprise game but a close game. I think the home team prevails.

Tomsula may be a mastermind in using the previous count the as losses road games to work out the quirks and uses this home game on what was a tough schedule as a gotcha win!!!!!

Tomsula may look dumb but he may have planned for this.

We kick ass on the morrow

Shock da world, baby!
