Game Day – Playoff Edition

Be still my heart. Coming down to the wire here. The Niners, looking to keep the quest for 6 alive, have looked unbeatable and unwatchable like clockwork. Every 3 weeks they lay a fresh turd after coing up roses for 2 weeks. Inconsistency is their only constant. The D has been dominating until it hasn’t. The offense has been record-breaking and TV-breaking. The run game is here and gone.  The passing game remains an enigma no matter who is behind center.

Green Bay on the other hand seems to be riding the wave of solid football, going 10-2 in their last 12 games after a 2-3 start.  They appear to be peaking at the right time despite their loss to Minn on the road to knock them out of the 2 seed. Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers. Outlandish numbers (4,295 / 39 / 8), and some of his throws last weekend were flat crazy. Throwing lasers on the run for 35 yards, the usual. They even seems to have discovered a diamond in the parking lot with the addition of RB DuJuan Harris.

Still, GB has a defense that really isn’t all that impressive. They give up yards in the air and  they give up yards on the ground. Their WRs are banged up, and they give up a lot of sacks. The Niners at least got the break they needed. They were pretty gassed after that marathon NE game, and staggered down the stretch. The effectiveness of Justin Smith remains a question, and the run game is something that needs to get going early to provide a lift to the play-action passing game.

But still and all, I like the Niners chances. I think the Niners can get to Rodgers with their base pass rush. Disguise a blitz here and there to force a turnover or 2.  I think the offense should be able to get the job done vs Green Bay’s D.

    How many young QBs fuck up so badly in their first minutes in the post-season… and then come back to fucking annihilate a team like this? What a tough mother fucker.

    Kappy can be special. Pro bowl special. Maybe even Canton special. Superior athlete + mentally tough + hard work = good fucking things.

    Dixon scored that TD? You guys ever stop at Dixon on your way to either Reno/Tahoe? No? Best you haven’t. Keep on going and go Niners. How bout our Niners!!! The Pack sucks ass.

      I did submit a 2nd score but you have to go with the last one. And I blathered on at my blog in today’s post about the total. It took me a week, but I got to this with the score and the total.
      2 for 2 be-atches!
      I wasn’t kidding about how bummed I was with my 0-4….

    Hey, my friends. Please don’t associate Kap with my “Did we sign Peyton Manning” schtick. That was all predicated on the choice of ALEX or Peyton Manning. There can be no argument between that choice.

    Did we sign Peyton Manning yet?

    Denny I love ya but you’ve now been exposed as an idiot 2 playoff games in a row. We beat Brees (with your supposed worst QB in the lg) and we’re about to beat Rodgers with a rookie QB. At what point does your dumb ass start to acknowledge that it’s not solely about the quarterback?
    Don’t worry about answering dawg, you’re the most stubborn blogger I know. I get what’s coming….
    “Have we signed Peyton manning yet?”
    Haha!
    I fucking love all of this, 2 years running….
