Nationally broadcast late game this Sunday.
Nick Bosa was injured in the 2nd quarter yesterday and didn’t return, no word yet on how serious. Seahawks were able to drive the field for the winning TD late yesterday in Santa Clara.
Would be nice to see the Packers finally put together a 4 quarter game with everything clicking and stomp these guys.

I want the 49ers to get knocked out of the playoff hunt.
Kittle has a hamstring & Bosa a hip issue.
We'll see if they're good to go.
Lotsa work to do this week no matter who is on or off the field.
It's time to get some takeaways. Multiple!!
Game is at 3:25 CT, on Fox in Green Bay.
Long range weather forecast calls for a high of 43 degrees and overcast. With temps dropping as the game goes on and the sun goes down, which will be about 4:30 in GB.
Wonder how bad Bosa's newest injury is as he could not finish their game on Sunday?
At 5-5 they have been inconsistent and have had their share of injuries. But getting Christian McCaffrey back helps them.
Edit: No worries Boss, it's all good 
I saw that Shanny said Bosa's injury was not a reaggravation of his hip, but rather a new injury - oblique strain.
"Things went from bad to worse for the 49ers when star edge rusher Nick Bosa was forced out of Sunday’s game against the Seahawks with an oblique injury. But if that wasn’t enough bad news for the Niners Faithful, the 27-year-old doesn’t feel great about what this latest issue means for his short-term availability.
"It's definitely there,” Bosa said about his concern level regarding his injury. “I don't know, we gotta see.”
Hoping Ja can be full go...we've seen what life is like without him and Nixon in his place. Shanascam is 10x the OC whoever it is the Bears roll out there.
Our best DB combo is Alexander and Valentine on the outside, Bullard in the slot, and X and Williams at safety.
@TomSilverstein: The #Packers have activated RB Marshawn Lloyd off injured reserve, returning him to the 53-man roster and making him eligible to play Sunday against the #49ers. Lloyd is recovering from appendicitis. Coach Matt LaFleur did not indicate whether he thought he would play this week.
Putting Lloyd on the roster will allow the #Packers to transfer him to the non-football injury list. He will stay there and not count against the roster until he is recovered from his appendectomy. No timeline has been given on his return.
This guy can't catch a break. I hope it makes him hungrier every single day. I will say that Brooks has been a nice change-of-speed back. He seems solid and may need to see the ball more to keep Jacobs fresher down the stretch.
@AdamSchefter: 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said QB Brock Purdy has right shoulder soreness and now will be considered day to day.
DE Nick Bosa had a hip/oblique injury and will be evaluated throughout the week, per Kyle Shanahan.
And 49ers TE George Kittle, missed Sunday’s game against Seattle due to a hamstring injury, is expected to resume practicing this week.
I expect all 3, Bosa, Purdy & Kittle to be full go.
Expect nothing less
I expect Jerry Rice to fumble.

The way I see it, if the Packers win, it would put the Niners essentially 4 games behind, and I can't see them making that deficit up.
However, the NFCW could have a 8-9 or 9-8 division winner and the Cards are only 1 game ahead of everybody else, so those sneaky bastards still have a chance at that.
If they don't, I think they're too far down the list for a wild card berth.

Oh I fully expect those sneaky douchebags to find a way to get in the playoffs. I am not fully convinced the Cards are going to win that division and it would be just like SF to figure out a way to win it
I do expect all hands on deck for SF because they are in a must win situation. As for the game itself I expect the Packers scoring on them but what worries me the most is stopping their running game and the fact that they typically out physical the Packers and that does worry me.
One thing I have to figure out is how to weasel my way out of going to my wife's friends Friendsgiving thing that day and yep its at 4 pm.
Tell you'll just pretend you are in Shitcago and will spill beer all over her and her friends.
@zackkruse2: #Packers opening as 2.5-point betting favorites against the 49ers for Sunday. 49ers haven't been an underdog all season.

You're not looking so good there, Heckler. I hope you're not beginning to catch a stomach bug.
ESPN Gamecast currently gives the Pack a 54.4% chance of winning. Still expected to be low 40's with temps dropping as the game goes on, overcast with little wind. Not quite frozen tundra weather, but still colder than the 9ers are used to.

You realize if you cave you may never see another Packer game on the Sunday before Turkey Day.
Cave or grow a pair.
Proceed carefully.

I've given up on thinking shitty weather is still an advantage for GB when other teams come to town. Been proven wrong too many times ever since the Vick debacle.

You have COVID! Can't be around anyone!! Looks like the 24-48 hour kind
😁
Bonus game at Lambeau this week!
My niece and her husband were using my tickets to the Niners game but their brother in law won a couple of box seats in a silent auction and gave them the tickets. So the ladies will be relaxing inside while me and Matt will hang with the die-hards outside!

Or these so called friends could just put the game on.
I thought you automatically get 3 points for being the home team. So does 2.5 mean the Packers are actually the underdog?
From Packers.com The Dope Sheet:
The Green Bay Packers return to Lambeau Field to take on the San Francisco 49ers.

how many points is home field advantage worth in nfl ??
AI Overview
As others have mentioned, biggest fear is that the Pack can’t stop the 49ers run game which leads to easy play action completions for Purdy.
I think Purdy isn’t a great player but he’s got good mobility and he is accurate if gets a semi decent amount of time to throw.
It sure would be nice to put a huge dent in 49ers hope for playoffs. Certainly they wouldn’t be eliminated but they will end up sweating out the final weeks with a loss this weekend.
I don't know how SF is only 5-5. They are 6th in total defense and 2nd in total offense. 11th in TO differential. Curiously they are only 16th in points given up per game. The only team stats they are in bottom half of the league are some ST categories.
This game to me is huge for GB and a win helps them in two ways. The first is that it will help them stay on track for the playoffs and secondly and maybe even more importantly it hurts SF. And we all pretty much don't want to see SF again given the recent history against that team.

I am one of the fans who is very worried about CMC running wild on GB Sunday.
The other guy I fear and not sure why but its Rickey Pearsall the guy who got shot last summer. It would be just like the Packers defense to allow this guy to go off in the Brad Hoover sort of way.
GB is going to have to play a way cleaner game this week than they did last week and hope to win. I think the offense will be fine but the defense has to pull their heads out and not mess around like they did in Chicago.

Niners Special Teams are not quite Draytonesque, but they have contributed directly to at least 3 of their losses.
