I don't understand why they didn't do it either.

Robbie was 40+ and at that age, kickers are a bit of a gamble at that point, you can't just roster Robbie til 50. In terms of why did the break with Robbie happen in 2023, well he was off contract. And if I recall correct, he began the offseason saying he's done with SF.

Yeah he said he was done because SF told him they were done. Go grab another vet, instead of depending on a rookie kicker to help win a SB

Tired of hearing about Goff like it's some great story. The dude was the number 1 overall pick. This is exactly what was expected from him

His brother Jack is looking like a really good prospect.

Lol

Everyone looking forward to Chauncey Gardner vs Deebo, but it might be more like CG vs Juan Jennings.

And Kittle. Unless Chancey is looking for cheap shots like his thug ass would.

Someone needs run over CG ass and knock him out. Karma!😎

Bro idk if you heard but you guys were last week. We're good with packers related content. ✌️

I'll try to talk about the Lions lol. Lions almost lost to Chicago twice.

I saw a post on IG that made me think of something and I want Packers' fans to know this (not necessarily this Packers fan):

The loss to the Seahawks in the 2014 NFC Championship Game......................with that PRECEDENT, don't ever complain about losing to the Niners in the 2023 Divisional round.

One was a tough fought loss, the other was a monumental CHOKE.

And it's not one I was happy that happened......every Niner fan was pissed the Seahawks lucked into a Super Bowl they didn't belong to, and that Malcolm Butler interception was the ONLY JUSTICE that could right that wrong.

But that was an insane loss.......maybe more Seahawk super luck than anything, but I don't wanna hear about Niner luck in a game that was evenly played for 60 minutes.

All of Jared Goff's 3 wins against the 49ers came in 2017 and 2018, when SF was not yet a winning team. The 49ers beat Goff's Rams 2x in 2019 and 2x in 2020. Then they beat Goff's Lions to open the 2021 season

The 2020 Rams I have to say were probably better than the 49ers because of injury issues and we still swept them......I saw that the Niners came from behind at SoFi later that year by two TDs??

Niners 38
Lions 17

Funny thing about that NFC run....every team that won, should've lost.

Dallas beat Detroit with some garbage holding/non holding calls...and they go up to GB to play the Packers.

GB wins on the Dez Bryant (non) TD catch....so they go to Seattle

Seattle wins despite 4 ints from Wilson, and the onside kick and whatever, so they go to the Super Bowl and....

Malcolm Butler.

2014 Packers were lucky to be in that game. Infamous Dez incompletion call in the Packers - Cowboys game the week before. Though watching dem boyz get screwed was fun.

Let's hope the game doesn't come down to a fg to tie/win the game with Moody.

I think Moody should get some credit for making that 52 yarder last week. That was a hard kick in the rain… and we obviously needed it.

That's not an excuse. You're basically saying that Niner brass was anticipating that Robbie game would decline, therefore decided to cut ties and draft a rookie. Makes no sense. Sure if Robbie's game was indeed on a steep decline and he was becoming a liability then I'm all for moving on from him. But that wasn't the case. The other excuse is his contract demand, which we know is also lane given our front office's ability to make room for players when needed.

Kyle / Lynch knew this was a Super Bowl or bust year. They decided to drop off from a proven winner and go with someone not as reliable. With Robbie we win the Cleveland game. With Robbie we go in leading 10-6 vs GB and maybe it's not so close.

All you could hypothetically say is with Robbie we don't miss kicks we probably have missed.

But the season doesn't play out exactly the same way.

And Robbie has missed kicks too.

If Warner said that, my guess he is not talking about the LB core. We all know who is he asking to freakin' step up!

I love it. He pretty much said if the Niners D are doing their job they should win 3-0. He reiterated that there is no time to work on things, Now is the time to show it!!! He had me FIRED UP 🔥

Remember last postseason when Kyle challenged his defense during the week if they were better than the Cowboys defense......

Might need something like that again.

Our defense was great in that game.
