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.

    Bullshit Pi call

    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.

    KAAAAAAP

    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.

    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.
