SF 49ers at Packers - Pregame thread 2021 Season Divisional Round

It is hard to believe a lot, if not all non SF fan predictions is for us to not just get beat, but to get whupped.

Wow, all the analysts now going beyond how we're gonna get killed tomorrow, and saying Rodgers is winning the SB this year. And guess what, after we beat him it's gonna be just like beating Dallas. All the talk will be about how GB lost the game, nothing about us winning.

27th ranked teams against the run don't win Super Bowls. The ONLY thing GB has on us right now is 1 QB, 1 WR, and rest.

Yep. When they beat us earlier this year it was because Jimmy turned the ball over, we were down 17-0 early which forced us out of the pass game, and our D had that late game collapse. That is a ton of things they needed to go their way and I just don't see ALL of that happening again. It sucks for us as fans that our team gets no respect, but but it's great motivation for the players. Can't wait to see them coming out of the tunnel with the boom box again.

Yesterday it was the exact opposite tho, which is why I don't listen to these idiots, because part of the game they play in the media is to hype the games, set a narrative and help programmers get high ratings! Vegas also dips into this game by setting 6 pt favorite and Sliding the ruler all week to generate bets on the over or under, which is how they make their money. I always try to maintain the even keel of enjoyment that we get to see a divisional playoff game between two solid teams. Hopeful my team can win, excited we get the opportunity and happy I get to be a small part of it. It will be a great game. Good luck everyone and cheers!!🍻

I live in Appleton WI which is 30 min south of Green Bay. I grew up a 49ers fan, will always support them regardless. Let me just say that Packers fans, radio hosts, and the people in Green Bay in general are f**king consistently delusional and think the Packers will win every game even if the team would have to start their punter as QB because of last second injuries. So hope the 9ers beat the hell out of this s**t ball team this weekend....Go 9ers

Nice! I'm in Appleton as well. And I second your opinion.

These Packer matchups are always intense and I want more revenge for the playoff crap in the mid 90s

Damn. Was thinking he wasn't going to be activated since it was coming down to the wire

We won't be able to only attempt 8 passes like the last time we met them in the playoffs, I guarantee that. They going to sellout against the run and I hope Jimmy and the passing attack is up for the challenge. Will be interesting to see what kind of gameplan Shanny dials up cause everyone knows what we want to do

Go a head. GB wants to sell out to stop the run. If I am Kyle, I am hitting Aiyuk and Deebo on slants vacated by their linebackers ALL DAY LONG. I know Jimmy can hit those ALL GAME LONG.

Really that may be what it comes down to and if we can indeed hit those all day long. There will be disguises from those LBs cause you know that GB knows this can be a problem for Jimmy with "seeing" the LB in position for the pick. Hopefully Jimmy can buy some time on those, I've seen him do this as well and make them pay with a simple check down or that second read (likely outside of the hash marks) that should open up when they decide to clog the middle.

You said they will SELL OUT to stop the run. If they sell out to stop the run, they will leave the middle of the field open.

Good. They won't have another excuse.

Will be rooting big time for the 49ers but I cannot take a blind eye to the realities. They flew into Dallas last Friday, played a tough game Sunday, Flew out on a red eye Sunday night, jumped on a plane yesterday to play a game in a freezer vs the consensus best QB in football tomorrow night.. Bosa with a concussion, Warner with a knee and Jimmy with a bad thumb and sprained throwing shoulder.. Where are they going to get the energy to wheel back in 6 days and all that flying to play their best game against arguably the best team in the NFC? If they win this game it will take a miracle of effort..

Yeah, I really hope and want the 9ers to win but, damn, those guys have got to be worn out without enough chance to recharge. And then play in the bitter cold with tired and beat up bodies. These guys have got a ton of grit but all that can easily be too much to overcome (along with trying to overcome Rodgers at the peak of his abilities). I give the 9ers more than a "miracle" chance but it's going to be really, really tough.

Who gives a s**t about the cold....it's football, these kids have played in the cold weather at some point in their life. They're gonna be all juiced up and running around...they're wearing warm jackets, got heated seats, massive heaters etc. It's gonna be cold for the fans more than anyone.

Everyone is banged up at this point...regardless of GB having a week off, they still got guys hurt or guys that haven't played much football coming back (rusty). SF has been playing playoff football for over a month now. They're callused up, they're playing with house money...they got nothing to lose. GB and Rogers are the ones with all the stress IMO.

SF is gonna hit them in the mouth (GB is bottom of the league in 1st QR scoring SF top 10) No letting Rogers do whatever he wants. No letting their DL pin their ears back. Bully ball 2.0. Fans in here grab your nuts and show these GB f**ks what's up!! They want to win bring it, they're gonna get beat to s**t in the process. No cupcake games against SF win or lose!!

Let's goooo

Damn bro, they should get you for the pregame speech. Put me coach, im ready! Almost GameDay!!!!!!

Let's GOOOOO!!!

I can't believe the niners could lose their chance at the NFC championship because of a Jimmy G turnover or two

Yeah you can. It happened in the Tennessee game and many times before.

Tom Brady cost his teams wins in the playoffs, same with Rodgers, Mahomies, Peyton, Brees, Steve Young, Joe Montana, Big Ben, Russell Wilson, the list goes on and on. Ma gawd it's neverending!!!!

99% of the "experts" picking GB I'm this one. ESPN FPI gives GB a 65% chance to win.

In contrast, they are split at almost 50% on the Bucs Rams game, but ESPN FPI giving Bucs 66% chance to win.

We got one guy predicting SF

Because they love creaming their pants over QB's. Aaron Rodgers vs Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers vs Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady vs Patrick Mahomes, etc. 49ers are that dirty, gritty team that no one wants to face.

Z Smith only matters if we're forced to play from behind and he can get after Jimmy. He's not a great run defender.
