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

MVS

 

It’s obvious he gets an NFL roster spot because he’s big and fast, which occasionally comes in handy.

[nodakfan17]

It’s amazing what a giveaway can do for a team’s chances. The Packers could have really used one last week or in Tampa Bay.

That and playing the other team's practice squad.

[PinaMadness]

At full strength this is most likely a loss so this game pretty much cancels out the Vikings game.

[adambr2]

Valdez-Scantling is a stud. Never a doubt

[PinaMadness]

[sarcasm]Time to pick up MVS from the waiver wire.[/sarcasm]

[DuWayne Steurer]

Glad to see 12 and mvs have repaired their relationship issues

Mullens at QB reminds when a position player pitches an inning or 2 to save the bullpen. Incredibly lucky to face a talent-less QB.

 

Savage dropped the easiest interception he'll see maybe his entire career.

 

Rashan Gary remember him? has no heart or hustle, that drive SF actually had shown at least 3 times he flat out put it in neutral when any hustle he could have made a play. I am not sure he will make it 4 years as a Packer, they'll cut him or trade him what a mistake.

 

Jones is an epic RB. Ahman Green since 1990 is my favorite GB RB all-time, Jones appears better.

 

This is one of those games that makes you think the team is good and Super Bowl caliber, but the defense is laughable.

 

1st 2! plays on D after TD and Gary is exposed on missed tackle.

[yourout]

Gary is s huge bust.

[PinaMadness]

Josh Jackson is a second round pick. Can we still get Fuller for him?

[PeaveyFury]

Interestingly, Gary has still rated out better than some of this year’s draft LB options, most notably Patrick Queen.

 

As Preston Smith is apparently back in more of a pass rushing mode (or at least was tonight) Gary will have to step up his game or his playing time will definitely decrease.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Ok, so, this game can only be so impressive but have destroyed them thoroughly. Anything less would have been very concerning. They played well though.

[PinaMadness]

I almost feel sorry for the Niners.

 

Almost.

Ahman Green since 1990 is my favorite GB RB all-time, Jones appears better.

 

Pump the brakes there, recency bias. Green was a near-2000 yard rusher, a legit passing option, and could take a broken play 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage and break a 20-yard run. He could also carry 3 guys on his back. Very different runners, and Jones is a really good player, but don't think he's on the level Green was, at least not in 2003.

[nodakfan17]

It’s interesting that Shepherd is returning punts and kicks with Ervin healthy. They must be trying to save some wear and tear on Ervin.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Hoping Tyler Ervin doesn't get destroyed to end this game because GB doesn't have other options to help burn the clock running the ball

[adambr2]

It won't matter but I generally hate kicking a FG from the 1 yard line. I'm certain that's a bad analytical choice. Even if you don't get it you back them up at their 1.

[nodakfan17]

This score could be 31-3 49ers and I wouldn’t be surprised.

Ahman Green was an absolute monster for 3 seasons - his only drawback was early season fumbling issues due to sweating on those arm sleeves he wore. Guy to take it to the house any play and was a physical runner to boot. Jones is a better, more athletic pass catcher, but Green was no slouch in that department playing in his era.

[nodakfan17]

49ers home unis - Top 5 in the NFL for sure, right?

That near 2000 yard season was Green's 5th on 355 carries. Jones is currently on season 4 and has a career total of 525 carries coming in to this game. It's an eye test opinion, Jones can block, run, and route run and catch. I think he could surpass Green if given an equal number of opportunities in a healthy 16game played season...I'll go 15 because Green had his respiratory issues.

I don't think Jones would have a prayer of staying healthy over 16 games if he was used as much as Green was - and I'd be irate if he got that many touches...not a slight on Jones, they're just different players that you can get the best from them using in different schemes. Green did most of his running damage from power running sets and formations, and Jones is ideal in this modern spread/misdirection style of offense.

[brewcrewdue80]

That's fine and agreed on usage. He appears better is the statement and this era of football, he wouldn't accrue the opportunities Green could. Last season wasn't a blip or fluke, Jones is a legit top RB in the NFL.

Gary is s huge bust.

 

Weird post. He's had a good game.

[homer]

This is literally a JV game at this point.
