NFC Conference Championship: Packers @ 49ers Sunday, Jan 19th, 5:40PM

Kyle Shanahan's offense is just wonderful to watch. Packers have no clue what's coming. So many different player packages and they will run and pass out of pretty much every formation they throw out there. It's almost like watching a Bill Walsh offense. So refreshing after watching McCarthy's 3 WR/1 TE...Aaron, find the mismatch pre-snap and throw it to that guy on 90% of the plays offense. Hopefully LaFleur will evolve the offense towards what Shanahan is doing.

[MrTPlush]

The defense gave no effort from the start. Judging any part of the offense today is kind of worthless at that point, they had little chance to get something going before that game was a complete disaster.

[PinaMadness]

Mostert has 109 yards rushing BEFORE contact. Tell me where you've heard that one before.

[adambr2]

Would it absolutely kill them not to milk the entire play clock on every play? We are passed the point of needing a long sustained drives. We need to score a lot and use as little clock as possible.

 

And on that note, we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

That drive is what the Packers should have been doing on offense all game.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

The team obviously has several issues, but Rodgers will take and deserves some heat at this point. This started out well. A big 3 and out and a couple nice plays, then on 3rd down he badly missed Jimmy Graham and instead went to the flat. They really needed him to be on and he wasn't. I'm not big on pinning W-L on one guy, but it's hard to reconcile an all-timer getting absolutely thrashed like this. I mean it's not on one guy, but he did not elevate them at all tonight the way great players are perhaps unfairly expected to.

 

He's now 0-3 in the playoffs against the team that was going to regret not drafting him.

[yourout]

At least it won't be a shutout.

[sveumrules]

If we can score three more touchdowns & not allow any more points...I like our chances.

I could have swore that's what LaFleur said he wanted to do when he was hired. The fact they never seemed to try it is a story we may never understand for years.

 

I said after the first game that Rodgers was the greatest impediment to this teams success and I think that's been born out. The offense is still a complete train wreck like last season and there's no indication Rodgers can/will adapt to any changes.

Thank you, Booger.

The fumbled snap on a drive and INT late in half #1 that basically amounted to what could be at least a 17 point swing in this game on the scoreboard makes this opening td drive of the 2nd half frustrate me to no end.

 

Yes the defense is getting rolled, but the two TOs ended this game

[PeaveyFury]

The 49ers need to make a mistake via turnover to allow any glimmer of hope here. 27-14 heading into the 4th would make it at least plausible.

[adambr2]

That would have been a great 1st quarter drive. In the 3rd it took up a ton of time with a big deficit.

It feels like they have 18 players. Those plays were a matter of when.

[yourout]

A stud middle linebacker would make the defense look a lot better.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Is there anyone else on the roster to play MLB? They are just toying with Martinez's inability to get outside the tackle box and pick the wrong gap to shoot....run right, then run left - rinse repeat.

 

No outside contain whatsoever. Its maddening this isnt even a game despite garappolo not having to do anything at all.

[wildcat83]

I gave up this type of rushing yardage in Madden once. Just called FG block every play the whole second half.

Think for a moment the fact the 49ers had to of started 3 possession inside Packer territory and yet that still was a fact.

 

Brewers opening day is 67 days away. Gonna be a long 67 days though.

 

I am so glad I don't live in WI anymore. I just can't handle the cry baby Packer fans on the WI sports radio shows. The radio shows will be nothing but Packers and how they lost it blah blah blah blah refs cost them the game blah blah blah the NFL cheated the Packers out of another Super Bowl blah blah blah blah Rodgers is not Favre blah blah blah blah Packers need to fire x coach because that is not how they were coached in pop warner football blah blah blah blah. Oh and it is now a week until opening day and all the cry baby Packer fans have finally stopped calling into the sports radio stations in WI and the Bucks are nearing a championship run and it is now time to talk about the NFL Draft. This then brings in the same cry baby fans and how the Packers need to trade away their picks to give Rodgers the flavor of the month WR pretty sure that is going to be Odell Beckham.

 

 

Refs missed that clear block in the back on that 1st play 7yard run.

Won't work for them in two weeks on a team that just contained Henry and will be a hell of a lot harder to defend than us. I supposed they could still win but they won't do it by throwing 8 passes.

[MrTPlush]

Rodgers could be playing the greatest game of his life and we are still losing. The reason we can never make it to another Super Bowl is because we keep planning on Rodgers and the offense to be perfect and win a shoot out. Maybe we should construct a defense that won’t take a giant dump and look helpless against elite teams.

 

The Titans almost made the Super Bowl with a lesser QB and Jimmy G isn’t exactly the greatest in the NFL either. We need to stop expecting elite QB play to carry us and be the reason. Rodgers isn’t the problem...if anything it is us expecting him to be 25 years old again.

[adambr2]

I thought Jimmy Garrapolo's inexperience might be a key factor in this game. Turns out the 49ers could have had a tackling dummy for a QB and been just fine.

[yourout]

Watching Martinez on that last touchdown was almost comical.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Absolute defensive embarrassment.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Unreal...this looks like OSU / middle Tennessee state

[OldSchoolSnapper]

They really had to start hot and they got a chance to do it. Had to score something on that first drive. Even after that, King had to catch that dropped pick. They had to make those kind of plays to have a shot. Yeah they are clearly out-talented here, but it's those first few jolts that can turn a game when you're overmatched.
