It seems like 49er fans totally despise us as much as Our divisional rivals do? Is that true?

I really think Dallas went into that game expecting to win putting up minimal effort. I thank them for falling on that sword so our guys wouldn't dare make the same mistake.

I also think early on Dallas was getting to Love more or at least making things somewhat uncomfortable for him. Their backend simply didn't hold up and Love was able to take advantage. It's critical for our guys to play well in the backend and I expect our guys to do just that. My biggest concern is having Brown out there(hopefully he's locked in and our communication is good)

One thing that made me pretty excited was listening to the Bosa/Young Q&A 49ers put out a few days ago and Nick mentions how playoff time guys get less selfish.

Honestly that kind of surprised me but it made sense. Contract time typically it's the regular season stats that stand out, those are the stats that get you awards to drive up contract value but in the playoffs #1 priority is winning the game. If the guys go into this game with the mind frame of 1. Do your job 2. Get the win. It will make things much harder for the Packers. If our DL rushes as a unit vs as individuals it will be big.

Let's just play the game already!

The Packers future is very Bright and I think they will be winning that Division for many years to come.

This will be a tough game for both teams, but a lot of the advantages are currently swinging to the 49ers side (Home field, rest, etc). Do want to see clean officiating and no injuries. We already had our bad luck with injuries last year in the postseason.

and then they destroyed a 12 win Dallas team which for the record i thought Dallas would win easily too for the same reason you outlined above

you can only play the teams in front of you

You have to admit we played very well against Dallas though.

Hopefully,, someone in the Packers locker room will have pointed out by now to the rest of the team that a dirty, game-ending hit on a quarterback can be done by either side.

Honest officiating and no injuries.

very surprised by the defense

packers had 7 interceptions for the entire regular season and have allowed multiple 100 yard WRs but then completely shut down CeeDee (till garbage time) and had 2 interceptions in the first half

Thoughts?

Me? I already commented on it.

Calling 7 QBs terrific that includes Goff, Love, and Mayfield AND specifically singling out Brock as not being….well that makes her opinion on the topic complete horses**t.

i could careless what her previous job was, she was clearly horrible at it.

my whole debate about Brock was never saying he was bad or didn't possess some amazing QB traits…It was mostly about arm strength and overall I'm not wrong there. Also there's a ton of really good QBs who don't have that elite level arm talent… all said and done, I hope he becomes that Drew Brees level guy.

I need someone to call her on her BS. What exactly makes Mayfield or Goff "terrific"? Forget Love and just answer wtf those guys do that put them in the same category as Mahomes, Allen and Lamar, because that's exactly what she just did.

Should've just said we have 7 1st round picks and guys expected to be terrific and Brock Purdy, expected not to make the roster.

Of course you took it to them. I'm not taking anything away from the Packers. You executed better on both sides of the ball. You were more physical and you took advantage of most mistakes they made. That's exactly what the 49ers have done most of this season which is why I think some discrediting GB are being hypocritical.

However I also believe we're a much better team than Dallas and we matchup better to Green Bay than Dallas did. But you still gotta play the game and prove it.
