I'm not predicting this game. We'll split with each of our NFC North division opponents. You had your chance to win something big. I would have said sweep + points. Too late now.

The real Packers have showed their hand. Too many fans here are giving the Niners credit. No, the Niners are good, but that's it. They're not gonna win the conference. It's just the Packers are an average team.

We over-achieved last year and this year, it's the same crap defensively. We'll once again have an elite O and a crappy D, and go one and done.

I watched da Bears game and they looked like they were having fun out there. But you never know with 🇦🇷. He might just throw 5 TD passes and win the game for us. Or, he might have an average day.

Either way, the D will stink and allow 25+ points. It's all up to 🇦🇷 to win this game.

That defense is elite, and their offense complements it perfectly. The 49'ers have recently beaten the Saints in the playoffs, SHOULD have beaten the Giants in the NFC Championship game, imo (punt returner failure), and dominated the Packers. The 49'ers are more than "good," and trying to say other wise is silly.

It's kinda like me on Madden: I have a chance to drive the field and tie the game, and throw an interception in the first 2-3 plays of the drive . . . heh heh. 😳 😳

How much of the blame can go on Rodgers for a play that didn't work? What about some of Rodgers' great third down throws that were dropped? (I'm looking at you, Finley).

But lets shine the light on this topic.

Going Backwards.

12/4/2011 - Giants vs Packers.

Tied going into the fourth quarter. Rodgers leads the Packers from his own 20 yard line with 58 seconds to go to a game winning field goal. Probably doesn't count because it was tied. ;)

1/2/2011 - Bears vs Packers.

Leads the Packers to a game winning touchdown in the 4th quarter. Again.. probably doesn't count as it was tied. False pressure, lol.

12/13/2009 0 Bears vs Packers.

Packers trailing going into the 4th quarter.. Rodgers leads the Packers to a game winning touchdown drive. Must not count as it wasn't in the final 2 minutes.

9/13/2009 - Bears vs Packers

Packers trailing 12 -10 going into the 4th quarter, Rodgers hits Jennings with 1:15 left to secure the win. Pretty sure that one has to count.

9/28/2009 - Packers vs Lions. *** fixed the date.. my mistake.

Tied going into the 4th.. Packers outscore the Lions in the 4th quarter 17 to 7 for the win. Probably doesn't count.

9/14/2008 Lions vs Packers..

11:18 left in the game.. Packers down by 1 with 7:51 to go. Rodgers hits Jennings on the next drive to set up a go ahead FG. Next Drive TD. Defense then caps it off with 2 more for a 48 - 25 victory.

Point being.. he can and has lead the Packers to victories late. They might not be as storied as some that legends are made of.. but they are still Wins in the column.

Is it his fault that we have held the lead more often than not? Is it his fault every time in not coming back?

The guy is clutch under the blitz, in the redzone.. when passing is all the Packers have.. but somehow that is different in this pressure situation? I doubt it.

The Packers, for all the aerial firepower, do not seem to do well when smacked squarely in the face. And our defense, short of a few players, is soft. Burnett's veer clear attempt at Gore at the 5 yard line was inexcusable. They are fun to watch, but we are kind of a finesse team.

I think McMillan is the starter at safety soon. Bush needs to be phased out as starter pronto. Hayward? But, I believe the young players will develop nicely as the season progresses.
