Then went to Dallas, GB, and then the NFC championship against LA and lost? Are they us? Am I scared? Am I horny? I just don't know what to think and feel right now. I do this right about this time of the week every week. I work myself up thinking we are going to get upset. Someone reassure me we will win

Not that it matters, but did he pick them outright to win or against the spread?

Luckily for us, this isn't a 1v1 match-up between Brock Purdy and Jordan Love. It's a game between the 49ers and the Packers and overall we have the better team.

I hate when "analysts" point to the QB matchup and select a winner based on the better QB. Brock doesn't have to be better than Love, he has to be better than the Packers' s**tty defense.

This is exactly it in its simplest form.

Promise we didn't have the better QB any of other times we beat the Packers in the playoffs, lol. Not even close.

Anybody else have nerves about this game? Just a bad feeling I can't shake. It's a game we should win and maybe that's it.

Not at all sure Love is the better QB. You could easily make the argument for Purdy. Whole season and over the long haul he really was better. Love improved recently against mostly bad teams. But was bad prior to that.

The Packers and Nick WRONG need to be more nervous about us.

This Packer and Love hype is out of control. It's going to come crashing down hard.

I'm usually a pretty nervous fan going into games. I just can't see us losing the game. The talent between the teams is too extreme. We're at home, rested and healthy.

Or when they say "If Brock was on a different team. If Brock didn't have Kyle. If Brock didn't have all these weapons"

Well Brock is not on a different. Brock does have Kyle. Brock does have all these weapons. So why does it matter?

I mean I typically have a touch of anxiety before EVERY game.

Really have no concerns on this game. At all.

It's the playoffs and it's single-elimination. I don't think there's ever been a playoff game I wasn't extremely nervous for. I'm already nervous for most regular season games as it is lol

Well one thing is for sure. I don't think our mediocre pass rush (full of star studded players) will do much to hinder Jordan Love. There's no reason to believe that the unit, which has underperformed this entire season, will all of a sudden turn on a switch and beat Love down. I'm hoping that AA can help plug the run and make the Packers one dimensional, thus allowing our LBs and secondary just play the pass and force errors.

Well one thing is for sure, you have some of the most idiotic posts I've seen on here in a long, long time. I'm sure many would agree with me, but your doom and gloom posts are not realistic and very flawed.

Our pass rush, especially since Chase Young came to our team has improved dramatically so you don't know what you're talking about. Also, we haven't had Armstead playing for what 6 games and Hargrave for a couple games yet we STILL have got a lot of pressures and have done pretty well with sacks. Not to mention, we LEAD the NFL in interceptions. Please stop talking you're just embarrassing yourself. Thanks anyway though for your warped opinions……."I'm Ron Burgundy???"

This x 1000.
Purdy is the better quarterback by a decent amount.
-He is better at going through reads
-more accurate
-better at anticipation throws
-better at extending plays

Purdy is NOT better at losing to s**ttier teams

and a lot of those losses were on Love this year. But you can't win them all I guess
