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.

    As long as the Niners are playing from behind we will see the pass. A shoot out?? Who will win this game, my prediction is already crap!! Go Niners!

  2. B's avatar B says:

    That 3rd down slant for the TD looked a lot like Montana to Rice!!!

  3. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    IT’S A SHOOT OUT WITH ROGERS AND KAEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE OF THE AGES ALREADY!!!! SPREAD. SPREAD. SPEAD!!!!!!

  4. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    SPREAD* LOL. Spread gets me excited.

  5. phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

    Stop by Cowboy

  6. B's avatar B says:

    Bullshit Pi call

  7. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    It’s a spread game by Harbaugh featuring the read option. Very few power runs. The 49ers are doing exactly the opposite of what they did week one. Week one the 49ers overpowered the Packers. In the divisional round of playoffs the 49ers are trying to out-score the Packers in a spread shoot out. I love it.

  8. rob's avatar rob says:

    i think we’re going to take it !

  9. B's avatar B says:

    Nice run. Stupid penalty on a stupid rule

  10. rob's avatar rob says:

    love crabtree

  11. phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

    KAAAAAAP

  12. phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

    13-4 Niners over GB for 1st downs

  13. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    Harbaugh knows he doesn’t have a pass rush because of the injury to Justin Smith, and potential injury to Aldon Smith. No pass rush and you better score points. You can’t play ball control football without a pass rush. And that’s why we’ve got the fast-break spread offense with Kaep and Crabtree. I love this coach. Harbaugh is smart.

  14. Alleykat's avatar Alleykat says:

    Kappy is fired up!!! Beautiful pass to Crabs and redemption after that stupid penalty the fucking refs called on him.

  15. B's avatar B says:

    Fucking Goldson. Stupid mother fucker

  16. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    I’m not sure if I can remember a dumber play than what goldson just did. The play is over and he does that? Wtf?

  17. IH1792's avatar IH1792 says:

    Goldson: you stupid piece of shit.

  18. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Damn some players are so stupid!! Lead with the helmet and you will get called for it!! Golds in pulls your head out of your ass!!

  19. B's avatar B says:

    Thanks a lot Goldson, et al. Penalties gave them that TD, FUCK!!!!

  20. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    Who’s gonna get a stop first? Answer. Answer. Answer. Our D needs to get stops. If it’s a shoot out, we need Rogers to get rattled.

  21. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Winder might have the score right!! Spit his score is as muchcrap as mine!!

  22. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    Rogers was in an epic shoot out with Warner. This is Kaep’s first. Answer. Answer. Answer.

  23. NoFear49er's avatar NoFear49er says:

    They’re going to hit the over by the half.

  24. IH1972's avatar IH1972 says:

    It should be 21-7. Stupid throw by Kap, and unforgivable penalties on GB last drive = 24 pts

  25. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    That was as asinine 15 yd PF penalty by Goldson. Wouldn’t be a game w/o at least one. And now The Cowboy commits an unabated offside penalty. That now leads to an Aaron Rodgers TD throw.

    We DESERVED that shit. The football that I, and everyone else has watched today up to now has been very exciting. But that by NO means, makes it any good. There is no excuse for sloppy football in the playoffs. The level of play in the NFL today has deteriorated. Look at our TOP today? Matters not.

    Did we trade Vernon Davis yet?

  26. rob's avatar rob says:

    complete dammit

  27. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    I’ve been saying this for weeks: fuck the pocket, run Kappy run! Finally, he’s doing it.

  28. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    I’m still fucking pissed that a guy who beat a double murder rap is heading to the AFC Championship Game. I hope someone(s) beats him to a bloody pulp resulting in death outside of their limo in Hotlanta. Fuck that motherless son of a fuck.

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      Haha, rant on Denny!
      What looked worse there at the end of the game? Manning’s dead quails or the unfortunate interception?
      Seriously I hope you didn’t watch it, it would rock your perceived reality too much

  29. rob's avatar rob says:

    we need vernon davis

  30. IH1972's avatar IH1972 says:

    Walker you cunt. Catch the fucking ball

  31. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    Delanie Walker is simply terrible.

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      He’s the worst. The only thing I can think of is that he’s an unbelievable athlete and that’s why they keep him around. Probably a good dude too.
      But he has stone hands

  32. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    How rad is it to hit my total at halftime?

  33. rob's avatar rob says:

    ok 24 – 21 one half to go

  34. Alleykat's avatar Alleykat says:

    Nice confidence builder for Akers!
    But fuck Walker has hands of stones.

  35. 12th man's avatar 12th man says:

    Forty fuckin Niners Bitches!!!!
    Oh and Delmar Manning can suck my Schlong.

    • phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

      You (and Flavor) called it Man. Pending the outcome here w/GB you are tied w/ 4 wins

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        I had to atone for my pathetic 0-4 last week. I’m hoping you’ll factor in the over bet in the niner game when you ultimately tell the world my story!
        🙂

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      Might be a tad “hard” for Manning to suck your Schlong after your 4-12 Raiders get through munchin’ on it. Commitment to drafting the 3rd pk overall. The Oakland Raiders organization is nothing short of a goddamn joke. Even Dead Al spin in his grave thinking about that one.

  36. Alleykat's avatar Alleykat says:

    107 yards rushing for Kappy at the Half.Could go for 200

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      His running has been brilliant. And it makes perfect sense. This dude takes the longest, fastest strides I’ve seen a QB take since Randall Cunningham. Maybe faster. He’s almost unstoppable as long as he runs a lot.

  37. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    What a relief. Nice kick, Akers. You live to see another day…

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      Sorry that comment was a tad late. I spent the entire halftime talking to Berger on the phone. We agreed on one thing…Go Niners!!!

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      So does roger Craig. 🙂
      Denny, relax a little bit and have some fun. Btw I’ve got a special surprise coming for your winning bet. Just accept and give thanks. I’ll send it out next week, probably late

      • phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

        Dennis: That’s yer cue to say “Thank you Sir Flavor, you are a true gentleman and a damn good sport”.

        Hello Dennis…Dennis?

  38. IH1972's avatar IH1972 says:

    Hopefully one if Goldson’s great plays counters his fuck up that led to a touchdown.

  39. rob's avatar rob says:

    yesssssssssss

  40. rob's avatar rob says:

    rush willis !

  41. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Like I thought. A nail biter. Kaep has done a hell of a job of keeping pace with Rodgers after the early INT.

  42. Alleykat's avatar Alleykat says:

    Hey Aaron..Mr Willis says hi.

  43. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Frank the Cat is still sleeping on my bed. Check that, the sumbitch just woke up. Don’t jinx us, Frank. Shit. Go back to sleep, Frank. The jinx is already underway…Fuck.

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      Get off the jinx shit, it’s gayer than fuck

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

        I don’t give a shit if the jinx is gay, straight or bi. It’s real to me, and that’s all that matters. And if you’re a true gambler, you know that’s all that matters.
        Know what else that matters? Kap to the house!!! Nigga please!!!! HEEEEEE!!!!!

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

        At some point you need to get therapy for this and actually make some changes. If you believe in jinxes you might as well believe in the bogeyman too

  44. IH1972's avatar IH1972 says:

    Now the defensive fuck up

  45. Alleykat's avatar Alleykat says:

    Shit their carving up our D on this drive.

  46. B's avatar B says:

    Ever heard of Fritz the Cat?

  47. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Did you guys just see that Pizza Hut commercial? I told ya that teenage boy is a dead ringer for Kap.

  48. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    This is just going to be a wild game. No telling who is going to win

  49. rob's avatar rob says:

    kappy delivers !

  50. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    um………er………….. Alex Smith just can’t do that. LMAO!!!!!

  51. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Holy fuck Kappy can run. Looked like a man running through little girls there.

  52. NoFear49er's avatar NoFear49er says:

    Another four TD game, and it’s not over. I hope that puts an end to the “why the switch” controversy.

  53. IH1972's avatar IH1972 says:

    It’s the Pistol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  54. rob's avatar rob says:

    D-E-F-E-N-S-E

  55. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    How many QBs have ever run for 200 and thrown for 200 in a game. Not too many, I’d bet. Hell, how many QBs have run for 200, period. We might just see it tonight.

  56. phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

    172 yards for Kap – on the ground.

    Okay stop the game right here and I’m a fuckin’ genius

  57. Alleykat's avatar Alleykat says:

    Did I mention 200 yards for Kappy? Just let Kappy run baby,he’s fucking unreal!!

  58. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    Rogers: You can’t match Kaep with field goals. The pressure has got to be unbelievable. LMAO!!!

  59. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    It’s gayer than gay to toot your own horn but come on, you regs have read my many, many posts about running Kap more. If you didn’t like that I hope you jumped on the over. Oh yeah baby. One of the biggest sports bets ice made in a long time! Pay me

    • Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

      Well, running QBs run a risk of getting hurt if you go to that well once too often… so maybe Jimbo intended to save it for the playoffs when we need it?

  60. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Ted Ginn JUNIOR makes the FC at the 7 yd line. Fuck him for accepting, and his father for giving him the same goddamn shitty ass name.

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      Denny go watch the game from last year when Finn ran back 2 td’s. it could be new beat material to replace the normal Saturday night Peyton manning beat material, bahahaha!!!!

  61. IH1972's avatar IH1972 says:

    Nice decoding NoFear! Yes.

    • NoFear49er's avatar NoFear49er says:

      I ran one in the woods of North Idaho for years. Everything from plowing snow to skidding logs. One tough machine.

  62. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    “The 49ers offensively have DOMINATED third down in this game”

    Fuck yes. How many years have we been waiting to hear that again?

  63. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    What is it with Goodwin and those low snaps? That shit should have been fixed a montha go.

  64. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Fuck what a throw. Wow.

    • Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

      That looked like the way Alex would drop them into VD’s hands in stride. If Kappy can start adding that to his repertoire, the future is bright.

  65. IH1972's avatar IH1972 says:

    I live in North Shore Tahoe and went to many UNR games, believe me Kap is the real deal as far as 100 run, 300 pass.

  66. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Kap to Crabtree. There’s no denying the great simpatico between those two. Why not the same relationship between Alex Crabs? I’ll tell ya why. Crabtree hates Alex with a passion. And that’s putting it mildly.

    Nigga’ please. Vernon Davis just caught a ball.

  67. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    I FUCKIN’ LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!

  68. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    I love me some 49ers…

  72. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Ok, up by 14, continue to pass the ball down the fing field, do not go to the run!! Do not got to the prevent shit D!! Pretend you are Alabama against ND, score and score some more!

    • Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

      After New England, Jimbo has no excuse to EVER make that mistake again.

      Push that pedal through the fucking floorboard. NEVER let up.

  73. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Rodgers just made that play to Harris out of nothing. We may beat him tonight, but he’s stilla great QB.

  74. rob's avatar rob says:

    DEFENSE !

  75. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Kap on the option. Let’s see Alex do that shit.
    NOT!!!

  76. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    25 first downs and 523 yards offense tonight.

  77. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    I’m literally considering ripping a beat to Kappy later tonight. Ha, at least Denny should sub in kappy for pey-man’s dead quail throws. I’m so happy on so many different levels tonight, you guys have no idea.

  78. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Up by 14? Fuck it. Throw the goddamn ball! How many times have you guys heard that from your friend, Dennis? That’s right. Too many times. How ’bout our Niners!!!

  79. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    308 yards rushing now.

  80. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    This drive has destroyed the Packers. We’re down to six and a minutes.

  81. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Packer penalty = first down = that’s all, Folks.

  82. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    We are just inflicting pain now.

  84. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Frank up the middle. Punch this fucker in…

  85. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Four minutes and counting. Aaron cannot win it sitting on the sideline.

  86. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Turn out the lights, the parties over… all good things… must come to an end…

  87. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Go Alabama…I mean Niners!!

  88. Spitblood's avatar Spitblood says:

    Somebody better call the sheriff or the national guard or the president because we are KILLING THE PACKERS!!!!!!!

  89. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    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.

  90. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    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.

  91. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Okay, okay, one more score should put this away, then you can go to the run!!

  92. Nipper's avatar Nipper says:

    Niners are winning big time and do we all mean BIG TIME!

  94. phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

    FLAVOR nails (kinda) the spread. It’s 21 at the moment and he called fer 18

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

      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….

  95. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    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?

  96. Flavor's avatar Flavor says:

    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?”
