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.

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

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

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

  13. 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.

  14. rob's avatar rob says:

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

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

  16. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    25 first downs and 523 yards offense tonight.

  17. bigflavor'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.

  18. 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!!!

  19. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:
