We don't stand a chance against Murray (mobile QB) and those receivers. Our best bet would be that someone else takes Zona out for us. I'd rather play TB or Dallas.

GB at Lambeau in January = automatic loss for us.

Lol Lambeau isn't as intimidating as it was pre 2002, they've actually lost in the playoffs plenty since then, including one against the 49ers, besides Theyve owned the Packers for a decade and should've beaten them in week 3 this year. It will be a challenge of course but saying it's an automatic loss is pretty ridiculous.

with that said, I'd rather play Dallas on wildcard weekend

I think you could make the case for all three.

Packers- Probably the best team of the three right now but we played them extremely tight when we lost to them and we were not playing our best football.
Bucanners- Superbowl champs but their defense is not that great. They have the best QB of all time.
Cowboys- Really good WRs which could be a problem for our secondary but they are on the downward slope and the most inconsistent. Out of the four, I also think they are the worst team. Also Would be really nice to meet them in the playoff again.
Cardinals-. Beat us twice. Even though we didn't play our best football and those games were reasonably close l. I would rather avoid them over the other teams.

My order- 1 being the one I want to play the most
1. Cowboys- Mostly Just because I want to play them.
2. Packers- We Just Always give them problems. Even though we lost to them. I know we can beat them and I Love beating the Packers in the playoffs.
3. Buccaneers- Would be nice to knock out the GOAT but a the same time he is the GOAT for a reason.
4. Cardinals- Would love to get revenge but losing to Colt Mcoy makes me wary of playing them again.

Wrong. Montana is the GOAT

I can't guarantee anybody in the world will be alive in 4 games, much less the 49ers make the playoffs. So I can't guarantee a preference.

Dallas only because I live in the area and may be able to go to the game. The Niners are 3-0 when I watch them play in person, 2-0 versus Dallas

I don't think Arizona beats us 3 times in the same season. And, they don't have Watt. I think that's best case scenario.

Our best case scenario is a combo of DAL and ARI as WC and Div rounds -- minimum travel.

Dude, we're all 9ers fans (and some of us even saw Montana play

) but seriously, this isn't really a discussion anymore. It was close when it was 5 SBs to 4 because Joe was undefeated in those games, but now it's way beyond that.

wrong…

Im not talking about the past. It will be damn near impossible to beat Rodgers and Co at Lambeau in January. Not with this unit. Not with this team.
