I'm just watching the Packers Cowboys game and damn when did the Packers get good. I was not paying too much attention to them. Love is actually really good. I'm not thinking this game is as easy as I first thought.

Yes the Cowboys blow but the Packers are legit.

The packers aren't good, Cowboys had a 1/100 game

Over the season's final nine games, Love has been the best QB in the league! Love has been off the charts in his last nine games, competing 70.9. percent of his passes for 2,422 yards, 21 touchdowns and just one interception for a 116.6 passer rating.

This game will be like playing ourselves. Lafleur runs a LOT of the same stuff Kyle runs.

He's played a ton of crappy teams in those games too. Like bottom of barrel bad.

Weeks 15 and 16 they had back to back losses to the Giants and Bucs. That's a trip to me because that's two teams the 9ers defeated easily. Their last three wins of the season consist of Panthers, Nick Mullen led Vikes and inconsistent Justin Field led Bears. So their numbers and Loves numbers are a little misleading. Honestly I'm not impressed at all.

In the final four regular season games, the Packer run defense looks like this:

Bucs - 99 yards, 3.7 ave. - season average - 3.4 ave.
Panthers - 96 yards, 3.8 ave, season average - 4 ave
Vikings - 67 yards, 4.2 ave, season average - 4 ave,
Bears - 75 yards, 3.0 ave. season average - 4.5 ave

Tonight, they gave up 123 yards, 4.0 ave. However, Dak got 45 yards for a 7.5 ave. Pollard got 56 yards on 15 carries for 3.7 ave.

All that to say, don't be fooled by season-long numbers. The Packer run defense has been pretty good the last five games, including tonight.

Bucks Panthers Vikings Bears?

Bucks 23rd ranked offense
Bears 20th ranked offense
Vikings 10th ranked offense
Panthers 30 second ranked offense

49ers? 2nd ranked offense.

We're gonna be just fine. Niners are not just head but way ahead of the Packers and almost every category. The Peckers won't even know what hit them.

49ers 37
Packers 13

Jordan Love: 176 yards, 1 td, 2 ints
Aaron Jones: 14 carries, 37 yards

Brock Purdy: 248 yards, 3 tds, 0 ints
Christian Mccaffrey: 146 total yards, 1 td catch

He's been flat out awesome. It's not just the numbers it's the type of plays and throws he's making.

That said, we should still kick the s**t out of them. Even with a sketchier than usual run defense we should force them to be one dimensional and destroy their defense.

I'm not saying he is the next great thing, however, that run included three playoff teams - Steelers (L), Lions (W), and Chiefs (W).

EDIT: Against the Lions he was 22/32, 268, 8.4, 3 TDs, 0 INT, 125.6 rating
Against KC, 25/26.267, 7.4, 3/0, 118.6

Their offense has been great. They also haven't played anybody. We all know that Dallas and Dak are trash.

Beating the Packers will be harder than beating the Lions in the NFCC. But the Niners should pull away in the 4th. Would assume a two TD win unless we get some late back door cover shenanigans.

Love can be great and it can also be not close to enough. They're not balanced. The Niners are.

The Niners can match any shootout. The Niners D only needs a couple stops and it will be a wrap.

True. I took a look at some of his plays. He has good footwork and doesn't panic on the pocket. He is mobile but uses that to move in the pocket, reset and make accurate throws. He has touch on his passes and can zip them in. Seems to be good at reading coverage since he has a greag td/int ratio.

We need Bosa and co to step up.

Other than the Ravens so have we. Yes they had a weaker schedule than we did but the Cowboys had been playing well. If we bring our A game we should win but this is not an easy game. Arik being back is huge for us.

Love is not who I thought he was. He has a great arm and very accurate. The Cowboys have a lot of all pros on their team who the Packers made them look like a bottom team.

49ers beat four outta the five remaining teams and all of a sudden they should be worried about the Packers!! 49ers are thee most battle tested team.

When Aaron Jones is healthy, he is very good. Tonight he ran for 118 and 3 TDs. He missed 6 games this season and was not fully healthy in a couple of others.

I'm thinking it will be up to the 49ers offense to win a shootout.

Dallas doesn't have LBs that equal that of SF and they don't have run stoppers on the DL like SF (when healthy, which they will be). Dallas was not good at run D all 2nd half of the season.

Yeah watching this game Jones looks really good. if Connor can run against us like he did, Jones is better and may have a good game.

As I said before Arik being back should help a lot against the run, if he's not too rusty. It may be a shootout as you mentioned.
