Thanks for a great season, Packers. Just 4 points short in this game. Looking forward to next season.
+ I got 4 for $10.00 at Arby's for Packer game day special
- No 4 for $10.00 anymore
Great season, special season actually. This team will learn a lot from all of this, even with the loss.
The future is bright with this team.
A really incredible season. Not much to bitch about considering the expectations.
Give this young team more time to marinate. Bring in some competition for Carlson and upgrade at S and corner opposite #23.
The future is really bright boys and girls.
- Nothing against this team, they played hard. I just hate this feeling of being a fuking bridesmaid every time we piss a game away in the playoffs.
- Jordan Love choked and it tarnishes his recent run. That final pass was just stupid, especially with time and time outs left..
- Anders Carlson
- Pissing away interceptions. If the Packers simply catch theirs, they win. The Niners caught their two opportunities. Limiting mistakes is so important, but so is taking advantage of the opponent's.
+/- Darnell Savage did make a number of plays, but missed almost as many.
+ Preston gave Trent Williams as much as anyone has, but - Williams is a beast and it was't enough.
- Van Ness has no bend whatsoever. It's bull rush or bust. Gutekunst has a type.
+ Campbell and Walker mostly played well - except the final McCaffrey TD
- The talent at DB is lacking.
+ D-Line depth is pretty good.
+ I'm not the biggest Rasheed fan, but after Tom went out we were this close to seeing Royce Newman in the game until he came out of the tent.
- I came into the game not overly invested in the outcome, but ended up pissed as hell.
+ youngest team in the NFL played well enough for 50 minutes to get into the NFC Championship Game as a seven seed.
- the Packers sucked in every facet of the game the last ten minutes when it mattered most. Had the ball up by a touchdown when another score could have ended a Niner’s season, a team that was 0-30 when entering the 4th by 5 points down or more.
- Joe Barry soft defense as usual, and poor tackling. He can GTFO.
- terrible game from a guy that hardly played up to his name sake. Savage dropped a gimme pick six, and missed tackles all over.
- terrible clock management by LaFleur. Nothing new there.
- it was just a matter of time until our kicker cost us dearly. And his guh was the difference between needing a field goal at the end of the game to win, and needing a touchdown to not lose. I don’t care how big his leg is if he can’t put the ball through the uprights. Just too many missed kicks. His accuracy between 40 and 50 sucks.
- for all the great things Love has done the last two months, he flat out stunk the last quarter of the game. At least two bad throws behind his receivers, and an awful decision to end the game.
- same shit, different year. The Packers find new and exciting ways to break our hearts. I’m sure there will be lots of “they were the youngest team in the NFL, and made it farther than anyone expected.” Lots of moral victory spinning. The truth is that team played well enough where they should have won, and like every team since 2010, they found a way to blow it when it was right there for them.
I don’t feel in the mood for rose colored glasses tonight. I just don’t.
+ great season that few, if any of us suspected
+ went toe to toe with best team in NFC
+ Despite last pass, Love proved he is the real deal and this team's future is bright.
- Carlson. Missed more kicks than anyone in NFL this season. Don't understand MLF'S faith in him.
- missed ints that could have put this game away
-Savage was awful. Missed int and several tackles, including the McCaffery TD. Never wraps up when tackling.
- clock management in last 2 mins.
I thought MLFs clock management was fine. They had the ball 30 yards out of FG range with the Niners playing prevent with 2 timeouts and 52 seconds left with 1st and 10.
+ Love up to when they took a 21-14 lead.
- Love after they took a 21-14 lead
Positives
1. Aaron Jones was a difference maker
2. Jaire Alexander shut down another good WR
3. Whelan saved a FG with a good hold on a bad snap
4. This will be unpopular, but Joe Barry called a good game against a stacked offensive skill position team. If Savage is even semi-competent, they probably win.
5. Jordan Love played like 2009-2012 Aaron Rodgers for three quarters.
5. Thought MLF schemed well against a very good defensive team
Negatives
1. Savage. I hope that is the last we ever see of him in a Packer jersey. He made one play in 5 years. Runs a 4.3, but one of those looks like Tarzan plays like Jane guys.
2. Jordan Love became senior year Utah State Jordan Love or post-Holmgren Favre. I don't think it's an overreaction to say that last pass negated a lot of the growth he made over the last two months. One of the worst decisions you'll ever see given the down and circumstances. It might save the Packers some serious money, though. He probably cost himself 10 million more a year with that throw, because it reinforced what his weaknesses were coming out of college.
3. Carlson. Not ready for prime time. Maybe never will be.
4. Hardly any penalties.

Agree with most of this, except that they have talent at DB, just not safety.
Trading Douglas for a mid-round pick mid-season probably came back to haunt them.
Love was 9-16, 33 yards with 2 INTs on throws in the middle of the field.
-
Love was erratic all night. Bad time for a poor game from him.
Need to make a 41 yard FG. Inexcusable.
+
Great season that surpassed expectations, regardless of the ending.
Future looks very bright.
+
they gave us a lot of hope and positives for next season
-
we missed a golden opportunity to win a game that they probably should have won 90% of the time had they not shot themselves in the foot
Too looped. Too disappointed. Going to move on to the Bear or Ted.
Started the game with field goal, dropped INT, stopped on 4th down, field goal. That's 4 potential scores for 27 points right there and we ended up with only 6. Last week we got all 27 points.
Those are the little differences in games that end up being massive.
Have I mentioned how much I hate losing to that rat-faced fucker on the other sideline???
@Boris posted:Right and who is there? The best MLB in the last decade. With Dre Greenlaw
Except that the two interceptions had nothing to do with how good their LBs are.
He missed a wide open Jones for what would have been a conversion, threw a terrible pass to Kraft over his head when he was wide open, and then Favre'd the last play. They are really good, but Love failed to make easy throws and showed why teams passed on him at the top of the first round. Maybe he grows out of the Favre stuff, but it's been a problem for him for five years if you count gong back to college.
Three trips to the red zone in the first half yielding a total of six points.
Simply not good enough.
+ Defied the experts and made it a close game
+ An amazing season coming back from 2-5
+ Rashan Gary
+ Jaire Alexander

Once again, you leave out the other half of the story. Outside the middle, where SF Was at their weakest, he had a triple QB rating 2 TDs and no picks. The play calls were fine, he just shouldn’t have been left in the position he was to the end the game. Carlson shit the bed, Gary no where to be found.
I question on the last play why we even pondered psssing. I mean we could have taken a knee and kicked a 85 yard field goal. This wasn't even Detroit yet man!

They play with the whole field, Love didn't.

Definitely two sides...
Exciting game going punch for punch with a heavyweight.
Felt like the longest 3rd quarter, it had me worried a 4th quarter letdown was coming, again.
EZ to blame kicker but all 3 phases of team wilted in 4th and we let 'em off the hook.
Sucks to lose but so happy not facing another offseason of "will he or won't he come back?" Our future looks bright with the 10 crew.

No shit. If the biggest drama of the offseason is missing a few opportunites in the divisional round of the playoffs as the 7th seed and youngest team ever to make it there against the 1st seed with 7 All-Pros on its roster, then I think we're doing pretty good.
Need a 3rd straight Gutey crushing the draft
Disappointing end with plenty of missed opportunities. The game was there there for the taking and once again the niners take our lunch money at the last 5 minutes. However, use the first three picks on OL and RB, and tell FJB to take a hike, and we’ll be a force to be reckoned with.
Losing Zach Tom in the 2nd half didn't help us either.
I like Rashan Gary and all but he needs to start earning that 96 million dollar contract more than what he has. Has he made some plays? You betcha. Is he playing at a 96 million dollar level? Not hardly
- Just a horrible 4th quarter for basically everyone associated with the Packers that wasn’t named Aaron Jones. Love, Carlson, the defense, all had poor finishes to this game that led to a bitter ending to the season.
@packerboi posted:You exploit their weakest area. He did.
You have to play against their strength at times and win.
