The excuse is they played better than we did and we made more mistakes than they did. Its as simple as that. We didn't beat ourselves they beat us. The refs didn't cost us the game our play and play calling did.

On the bright side it was not all bad. Losing to this team the way we did is nothing to be ashamed of.

Just to clear things up, you think Colin Kaepernick is a better QB than Aaron Rodgers? Got it.

He is essentially saying, "what are you going to give me? OK, I'll beat you with that."

You may be tired of hearing about what a great QB Keapernick is through these last 14 games or so of NFL action, regular and post season, but you may want to get yourself ready for more. This kid is a buzz saw. As good as Aaron is... He simply cannot and is not doing what Kaepernick is as a QB. Period.

If I have to see one more game turning drop from Finley I'm gonna puke.

You give any QB that time to hit wide open receivers, guess what, HE WILL. It's the NFL where there are many QB's who could have done the same thing and some vastly better.

Christian Ponder could have thrown for 400+ with that OL against the Packers.

SF had as many pocket breakdowns as did GB. SF, and Kaepernick were able to convert. GB and Rodgers, not so much.

I call bullshit on your Christian Ponder...

The difference is our defense never challenged their receivers. Free releases all day. If you can't jam a receiver like Bolden on a regular basis, he's gonna get open everytime. When we actually did play aggressive man to man. We did stop them.

Playing the 49ers vs the way they played us definitely didn't help either. To much zone, worried about him running free.

I'm not gonna make excuses but I just can't say he's better than Rodgers. He's just so damn Consistent and always shows up to play even if the other half of the team doesn't.

Whatever. I'm not going to get into a pissing contest of who is better, Rodgers or Kaepernick. I'm as much a Packers fan as any. Lifelong. Stockholder since '98.

Point is, the simple threat of Kaepernick running affected the way we played D. Not the case with Rodgers. Both are very solid passers, with nearly equal weapons at the skill positions. Our pass blocking was about the same as SF's. Really. Watched the game twice. Both OLs in pass pro were virtually the same, allowing for both quick throws (2 sec) and deep throws (>3 sec).

Our OL was horrible in run blocking. Theirs was not. I felt their play calling on O was better than our own. I believe both of those areas were pretty deficient. Our line is not proficient as run blockers, and our coaching staff is not proficient in calling a good running game.

Defensively, our S play was so poor that we could cut both MD Jennings and McMillian and not miss a beat. Wow, did they suck.

Fan Shout

Zero2Cool (48m) : Merry Christmas!

beast (9h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (17h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (22h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (23h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
