Game 8: Packers @ 49ers - Thursday, Nov 5th, 7:20PM CT

Garbage call, honestly. How is that ball even catchable? That was a cheapie.

[PinaMadness]

Rodgers' third career touchdown pass to a first round draft pick.

Yeah, yikes. That was awful.

[wildcat83]

Are they padding Rodgers stats or limiting Jones TD to keep price tag down? Lol

I don't know, maybe Calvin Johnson can get to it at the back of the end zone, that catchable thing is something I would rather the refs stay out of unless it is clearly waay out. There was illegal contact anyway before the throw.

[PinaMadness]

So does Preston Smith take over for Alexander?

Maybe the Green Bean Giant could have gotten to it at the back of the endzone. Don't think Megatron has the height. Agreed it could have been illegal contact.

lol

[young guns]

Yeah for blind squirrels finding a nut!

[PinaMadness]

MVS better not have dropped that otherwise he'd never see another target again.

lol

A friend told me it’s going to happen when they are playing man and his man goes out wide. That’s why teams send rbs and tight ends out wide. Looking for a mismatch.

[MrTPlush]

If you told me they pulled some random guy off the street to defend MVS there...I’d believe you. MVS could have jogged and beat that guy.

[young guns]

Watching Rodgers eyes it was almost like mvs is open, ok please someone else be open...nope ok let's give it a shot.

[wildcat83]

Just can’t throw to him on 3rd down.

[adambr2]

I think MVS would have kept running right into the tunnel if he had dropped that one.

And to the airport and to witness protection.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Our guys aren't the only ones that drop em

[PinaMadness]

Hope Bahk is back for Jacksonville.

Yeah so injuries/COVID/super bowl hangover/free agent losses have firmly put the 49ers in NFL hell moving forward. They went from the deepest and most talented roster in the NFC to a team playing out the string in early November. Their salary cap situation gets worse and their roster gets thinner heading into next season, too. The other main reason they won't just bounce back once they're existing roster gets healthy is Jimmy G is not the answer at quarterback for that team.

 

That's the NFL - this board stresses all offseason about find a way to have a better chance at beating the 49ers, and now they're going to be lucky to finish the year 8-8.

 

I think at the start of this year, if we were all told the packers would be 6-2 after their first 8 games, we'd pretty much all take it. Looking at the rest of their schedule, the Seahawks are going to have a tough time staying in front of them for the #1 seed. And I'm saying this while also acknowledging this Packers team has obvious weaknesses and after watching them lose a winnable game against Dalvin Cook (not the Vikings, just Dalvin Cook) and have a horrid 2nd quarter lead to their doors getting blown off in Tampa Bay.

*49ers shut everything down today. I'm guessing this game gets pushed.

What a watershed moment that game was for the Packers. The game that told NFL world that we had arrived and were not going anywhere anytime soon. One of the happiest feelings I ever had in my life.

 

I think it was first series and Wayne Simmons (RIP) just drilled someone and I was like "Whoa, they came to play"

MVS

MVS

I hope we don't get too far ahead too early. I have Rodgers in my fantasy lineup this week. I don't need him sitting out the entire 4th quarter.

You can all thank me, I plugged McKinnon in figuring he'd be in for a huge game out of the backfield and he doesn't even have a target.
