As a resident of the bay area, this game means a whole lot more to me than any other game this season.
I'm surrounded by Niners and Raiders fans. Obviously, the Raiders fans don't say much to me. They'll talk, but I don't pay much attention to them. The Niners fans, especially ones sprouting out of nowhere, are just SO TREMENDOUSLY ANNOYING.
Even in the eras in which we've owned the Niners, I was never that annoying, flaunting success.
Also being here, I know this team quite well.
Last year, while I held out hope, I wasn't surprised we lost the game. Kaepernick was a beast, and the NFL wasn't ready for the read option.
At the beginning of the year, I also had hope, but I was a little more confident. But Kaepernick played the best passing game of his career.
But as someone else said, he's fallen back to earth.
If the Packers can stuff Gore and make him a non-factor, then we'll just have to combine man and zone on the receivers. The X-Factor here is Vernon Davis, but Kapernick doesn't look his way very often.
Rodgers just needs to play lights out. We need Rodgers 2010 to come out and play, and we have the firepower to do it. We have a running game too. They'll be more useful than they were in Week 1. I know it.
