I'm not worried about the defense. I think they've spent all off-season prepping for this game. They'll respond well. Nick Perry is a great run defender. That’ll show up on Sunday. Offensively, I just don't know how our o-line can handle San Francisco's front. Mike McCarthy is going to need to stay patient with the running game because play action pass would be Aaron Rodgers' best friend on Sunday.

For what it's worth, DuJuan Harris had some success against the 49ers in the playoffs. McCarthy found himself in a shootout and went to the pass. Eddie Lacy is a superior player to Harris, so there could be a schematic advantage for Green Bay to exploit, especially since Ian Williams is an undersize nose tackle.

I don't think you can run on the edges. The 49ers are too athletic, but I think Lacy could have success running through the middle of the defense. If the Packers can pound the middle of their defense, it’ll setup play action pass, which should help nullify the pass rush. That’s what I’m hoping to see.

Gotta stop the run. GOTTA

If only we had something more up the middle than EDS.
But then, do we?

Please nAME ME ONE DAMN player who you think is worthy of being on The Packers roster!!!!

jesus your negativity is depressing.

I copied this from one of the articles, it is a reply after there were several negative posts on the upcoming game and season.

Really hope whoever this is , they are using a different name for that site and are a regular poster on this site.

Couldn't have said it better myself!!!

Every off-season, I forget. I forget just how good Aaron Rodgers is at football. I forget because it doesn’t make sense for anyone to be as good as he is at throwing the football. I forget because the throws he can make are sometimes so perfect, they seem to be computer generated. And every year, I tune in to the first game, and there is Aaron, doing ridiculous things. I’m so excited to remember, you guys. It all happens again tomorrow. For real.

Here is where I disagree with your assessment, Aaron: the tough competition is GOOD for the Packers. There may be no way in hell they go 13-3, but that’s a good thing. You see, way back in 2010, there was an upstart, YOUNG team in Green Bay that was struggling to stay healthy. Their defense had been exposed in the previous season’s playoffs. How were they going to stop anyone? Kurt Warner had hung half a hundred on them! Favre had gotten his revenge, and had his way, twice! They had a brutal schedule coming up, with 6 games against playoff teams, 2 against the always tough Bears who were getting Urlacher back after a knee injury ended his 2009 season in week 1, and a game against the Falcons in Atlanta, a team that had narrowly missed the playoffs the prior year and a team that everyone thought was going to make noise in 2010.

What did the Packers do? They played football. They battled through the tough games, week in and week out, never losing by more than 4(!) points. They hung in there, lost some close games, battled through all sorts of adversity, and scrapped their way into the dance.

When the playoffs rolled around, it was nothing to them. They had been in a dogfight every week. You couldn’t punch them in the mouth, because they were already missing their teeth from being punched all year.

And you know what happened? They rolled. They had NO FEAR in the playoffs. Nothing could happen to them that they hadn’t already experienced as a team, and they were ready for anything that you could throw at them.

The 2010 Packers were a highly flawed team. They played a guy named Frank Zombo and another named Charlie Peprah for a majority of the season and in the Super Bowl AS STARTERS. They had a guy named Sam Shields, a rookie they signed off the street, and another guy named Tramon Williams, whom they had signed off the street a few years before, playing lockdown coverage in the playoffs. But they won. Because they had battled their way through it.

I don’t think any of those things happen if they didn’t get embarrassed on defense in 2009 or if they played an easy schedule in 2010. You could make an argument that the Giants and Ravens have since followed the same blueprint, battling adversity and playing tough games throughout the season, only to thrive in the playoffs because they were the most playoff-ready teams out there.

So where you think this team will crumble, I think they’ll be ready. Where you think this team has deficiencies, I think embarrassment has turned those deficiencies into strengths. I know you want to go with your head. I just think your head is wrong. This is a team that is going to go 11-5 and scare the living shit out of everyone come playoff time. Just like 2010. It’s time to use your head to remember.

I might have missed this ... but ...

Will the chat have a live stream of the game? ... also will we need a password? - I installed chrome yesterday hoping this will allow me to use the chat and join you guys for a change.

thanks

yooperfan;256094Must be a Packers bar in the area where you can watch it. No?

Closest ones are two hours away

Zero2Cool;256095Hit up the Chat during the game, we will figure something out for you.

Oh no worries I'm just gonna listen to the game on the 620 WTMJ website (beats listening to Joe Buck). I was just angry at the moment since there's only two late games and I didn't get the Packers one even though in the past they've sometimes gone with marquee over teams that are closer in geography.

49ers 33
Packers 24

Need to be more careful when you're posting, Zero.
I fixed your typo.
