Sunday Night Football – Game III – Grilled Cheese Time

One way or another it feels like the Niners and Packers play every year. And then meet in the playoffs. It has been a back-and-forth affair, with the Niners dominating the Cheeseheads in the playoffs these last three meetings. Sure, they beat us last year, but that is the outlier. Throw in the intrigue of the 49ers trying to GET Rodgers last year as Rodgers fought with the Packers front office, and the other fact that Rodgers was snubbed by the 49ers and Mike McCarthy WAAAAAY back in 2005, and you have a nice bunch of subplots.

The game? Well, we will have Trey Sermon starting, Elijah Mitchell is doubtful, Kinlaw, AA, and Moseley all are questionable but should play. The Packers have issues at their left tackle spot as Serra boy David Bakhtiari is out, and his replacement Elgton Jenkins is out, they are starting their 3rd string undrafted tackle Josh Noggin (?), and they are already starting two rookies on their line.

Look to GB to try and establish the run, throw quicker passes, and try to negate our pass rush. I think we can dominate at the point of attack and keep Rodgers off the field.

We have our usual concerns. No mistakes from Jimmy G. No fumbles. At least we don’t have to worry about 40 yard scrambles with Rodgers, but he is elusive enough in the pocket to get his passes off. Our recipe for victory is constant and unrelenting pressure. And to keep Jimmy G clean in the pocket. The Packers aren’t putting much pressure on QBs in their first 2 games, but they did get better in the 2nd half of the Detroit game. Their first 6 quarters were disastrous defensively.

Should be another good one. 35-27 Niners.

    We should have run to burn more clock. And we should have rushed 7. We gave Rodgers the middle of the field and he gladly took it

    Green Bay just gave the rest of the league a road map on how to play us. Luckily most teams don’t have Rogers and Adams. Jimmy’s immobility does leave us at a disadvantage.

    The issue early was they threw in 1st down because Bosa was t in on 1st down. We adjusted in the 3rd quarter.

    The only highlight of the 1st half was the last play when Lance ran it in.Did any of u see what All Pro All Beast Trent Williams did to that poor DB Stokes.He pancaked him, pulverized him into submission, launching him airborne on his back! His reward? Lance let him spike the football 🏈..

    Still pissed off about Demeco. Big fail to allow Rodgers to stand unscathed in the pocket and wait for those 30 yards passes to evolve. We should have blitzed him hard. One sack and the game is over.

    Secondary was getting torched all night and you can’t spot them 17 points before u start to think of playing football goddammit. And then leaving Rodgers 37 seconds left was just stupid scoring to fast. Have to milk the clock to the end before u score.Montana,Brady, Mahomes,Wilson etc would be licking their chops as the 49ers went into their prevent win defense, ridiculous you know Adams is the guy he’s going to, blast his ass at the line of scrimmage! Rush, sucked, secondary sucked in that span of 37 seconds..

    Yeah, I wanted to see one or two runs mixed in there on that last drive.

    Biggest fail was letting Rodgers have all that time to hit those 2 passes. Blitz the fuck out of him is the only way. Those plays too time to develop, and we gave it to him.
