Hello, Green Bay My Old Friend

No, the 49ers aren’t part of the charter members of the NFL, but their history does go back to 1950 with the dissolution of the All American Football Conference and the absorption of the Niners, the Browns, and the Colts into the NFL fold. So, we’ve played the Green Bay Packers 68 times, amassing a 31-36-1 record. Our playoff record is 3-4 as well, but most of the Niner wins haven been recent, as in two of Colin Kaepernick’s playoff wins in 2012 and 2013. 2013 being pretty epic as Kaepernick threw for 263 and rushed for 181, with Frank Gore adding 113 himself in the 41-35 beatdown. I don’t want to mention the 1990s, as those playoff losses were brutal.

Because, of course the recent matchup was as good a game as this very good team has played. Amid the talk all season of the 49ers not playing anyone of substance, the 8-2 Packers took on the 9-1 Niners. And ot was an absolute dismantling of the Packers. 37-8. A game that saw the dominant Niners put up a 23 point 1st half lead. One we didn’t squander like the Houstons did last weekend. It was Aaron Rodgers’ worst passing day as a pro. The Niner defense stuffed the run, stopped the pass, and hassled Rodgers every time he dropped back to pass. Jimmy G had an efficient 14-20/243 2 TD mistake free game. Frankly, I don’t see much in the way of things being much different this time around.

Our run defense has been stout, and the return of Kwon Alexander, Jaquiski Tartt, and Dee Ford put us back in our position as the fastest and most lethal defense in the NFL. I think for now the Ahkello Witherspoon experience is on the shelf for another game as Emmanuel Moseley has proven he’s equal to the task. Witherspoon is a mercurial talent, but he’s been off since his injury earlier this year.

Stop Adams and Jones, and the game is done. Adams had 7 catches for 43 yards, and Jones had 13 carries for 38 yards. Everything Rodgers threw was underneath as he had little time to wait for plays to develop, and he was sacked 5 times.

    If I was a baseball writer and covering the stros every post press conference I would scream out “ are you still stealing signs”

    I just hope Kyle knows he needs to score and score offen, I don’t want it to come down to a penalty like the Seattle game to save the Niners Ass, if that delay of game call had not happened Seattle probably would have won that game. That was something Walsh all ways did was keep scoring. Only the two Cincy SB were close! So Kyle don’t try to use up clock, just score and keep scoring

      It would be nice if KS would go for the juggler for 60 minutes. You let any of these guys stay in the game and it will certainly come back to bite you in the ass.

      I’m sure Shanny’s keenly aware that GB can score a lot. They have been playing very well since we killed them. They didn’t get to 13-3 by accident. They are undefeated, going 6-0 since that. Shitty teams except for Seattle and Minn, but they played who was put in front of them . . .

      We got this

        Well the difference between the play calling for the NO game and the Atlanta game was huge. He got extremely conservative in the Atlanta game

    What a contrast between Chuck’s 49r blog than the Bucs blog I just left. Over there they (we) argue whether or not to dump Jameis Winston. Don’t know if you guys are aware, but Winston passed for over 5000 yards this year. One of eight ever, I believe. BUT, he threw 30 ints!! You guys have got your QB- -count your blessings.
    I don’t believe Rogers will be able to handle the 49r defensive front. Hate to jinx us, but it might not be close.

    Arians doesn’t sound like he wants Winston back. 30 picks is untenable.

    I don’t know about anyone else but this week has seemed to take forever. And I know we played on Saturday but it still is just about as slow as molasses. And, I don’t like that every media and sports guy is saying we are gonna win. To me that is a jinx.

  6. OldSealsFan's avatar OldSealsFan says:

    I think I might have jinxed them. Sorry.

    OSF

    (PS Maybe this cancelled the jinx)

    Yeah, Not really sure what pisses off the football Gods but I also don’t want to find out.

    37-27 Niners

    Run the ball down their throat, shut their run down cold. Take care of business, and book our tickets to the Super Bowl in Miami!

    As long as Shanny keeps Whipping-spoon on the bench their should be no issue of busted coverages!
    Adams is their only main receiving threat,Sherman should be on him as much as possible, but Moseley is playing quite well even though Rodgers will be going after him I think he will be ok..
    49ers baby!! Soon it will be time to “ Unleash Hell” on the Packers!

    3TD’s for Mosert as the OL is parting the Red Sea 🌊

  16. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Packers have no answer for the running game

  17. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    They are moving the ball now

  18. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    We are letting them back in

  19. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Okay, Kyle needs to go to the passing game, so he knows Jimmy can get the job done. If he sticks to the run and they go 3 and out it will not be good!

  20. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    I am so happy for this organization. What a great turnaround.
