Things I do / do not want to see next Saturday vs SF

I PICK CHOICE 5, THE WAR OF 1812

Two happy San Franciscan gentlemen kissing after a touchdown.

6. A 49er victory.

I'm big on this one. Your QB is the best in the history of the entire game at not throwing a pick. Keep scoring until you hit 50.

I'll be curious to see how Kaepernick does under the bright lights and the big stage. He's been up and down so far for the Niners and much like the Vikings if they don't try to RTFB then I think it's playing right into GB's hands. Having Woodson test the rookie will be huge IMO.

For the Packers to win this one they need to take what the defense gives them (similar to the Vikings game) and not get greedy or impatient. The 49ers play a straight up type D but their front seven is significantly better than Minnesota. It will be critical that the OL does a better job than week 1 against those guys because if they don't they will be picking Rodgers up off the turf a lot.

we probably need a couple threads about whether or not to defer if we win the coin toss.

Wait.

Nothin' like T for a boiler plate response.

I'll add, 'hit 'im in the mouth'."

EDIT: It may be broiler, ask T...

Anyone know the status if Justin Smith? Without him, that defense isn't nearly as good. If he's back (and healthy), Newhouse is going to have problems.

Are you going to kiss a happy San Francisco man because we don't want to see it.

Even if Smith plays he will be limited. I predict he'll be game time scratch. Harbaugh will try to get the Pack to expect him.

Sounds like he's gonna try to give it a go, but there is no way he's going to be close to healthy. He has a partial triceps tear. Aldon Smith hasn't recorded a sack ever since he went down. With this Packers OL, a severely limited Justin Smith(or hell, an inactive one) will be huge

He's a stud. This is huge.

While the Pack has a more finesse scheme (such as passing more and grinding it out less), I do NOT want to see the Packers not match the 49'ers physical level of play, including their tackling (both technique and intensity).

Stated as a positive, I want the Pack to match the 49'ers physical and technically solid play.

I do not want to see this game come down to Akers or Crosby's leg!

Didn't the 49'ers try out kickers again last week? Harbaugh has little faith in Akers right now.

San Francisco 49ers kicker David Akers has competition leading up to the playoffs as the 49ers sign Billy Cundiff.

January 3, 2013 - 49ers’ Kicker Gets Death Threats

Wish Crosby had an attempt yesterday from 40+

The o-line needs to have their best game of the season if the Packers are to win this game. Yesterdays game was all about the toughness of the defense, and they answered. This game it's all about the toughness of the offensive line. Hopefully they'll answer too. I was not impressed with the o-line yesterday (neither was Lang and MM), so hope they focus on this in their preparation this week. EDS, Lang and Barclay played like s**t yesterday, especially in the run game in the second half. You can deal with that at home against the Vikings, but that won't work on the road against the 49ers.

I know most fans associate "being aggressive" and "going for the jugular" with throwing the ball, and "being conservative" and "playing to lose" with running the ball, but this team cannot throw the ball 40+ times because the 49ers front seven will tee off Rodgers. And I don't think Newhouse and Barclay can handle that. At the same time, they can't just run the ball for 2.2 YPC (like they did against the Vikings when you remove AR's rushes) just to run it b/c at that point, the 49ers don't need to respect the run and they can still tee off on Rodgers.

The o-line has to buck up and play, because the crap they've been showing in the run game isn't good enough to win a Super Bowl right now. Super Bowl teams don't kick FG's when they have first goal at the 2 yard line. If they don't, I foresee significant changes in the offseason (of our five starters right now, only Sitton's job is secure, everyone else's is up for grabs).

Don't you have a Ricky Rubio or Mike Sherman slurpfest going on somewhere else?

Edit- see CB - insert Rubio or Sherman, rinse and repeat

I don't want to see 5 consecutive 3 and outs by the Packer offense in a playoff game.

Good read... they know what's in front of them.

There's an idiot in every crowd.

I'm gonna guess he's an ex Raider fan that jumped to the other side of the Bay.

I don't want to see the Packers give Kaepernick time to throw. He's not a great passer, but he's no Joe Webb. Pressure him and let Woodson/Williams/Hayward jump some routes. I don't think Kaepernick has faced a CB group like the Packers...Woodson and Williams have a habit of making first year starters look bad. Harbaugh will have him prepared, but prepared and ready are two very different things. Matthews and Co. need to do their job though and throw of Kaep's timing.

To beat SF, GB needs to utilize the quick passes. Hit the RB on screens and dump offs. Quick strikes to the TE's and WR's. The last thing I want to see is long developing plays against that defense. It's a recipe for disaster.

Unfortunately, this is on Rodgers more than MM. While Rodgers is great at extending the play, there were two or three plays against the Vikings that Rodgers should have just thrown the ball away but instead took a sack. With his o-line, he just doesn't have the kind of time to let those down field plays develop. He has to be disciplined against the 49ers and get rid of the ball before he gets sacked. 2nd and 10 is ok. 2nd and 18 isn't.

I don't want to see Crabtree matched up on LB's in coverage

Reading the 49er forums, man a whole hell of a lot of arrogance is spewing from those boards.

9er fans are convinced they have nothing to worry about. I hope that same arrogance is permeating from the team as well. Would love nothing more then for the 9er's to not take the Packers seriously.

As poorly as the Packers played in week 1 it took Rodgers worst INT ever to seal that game for San Fran. Packers had the ball with a chance to tie the game at that point.

I'd expect him to have a huge game in his 1st start in San Fran with a return to the NFCC game.

Yeah, the common theme I've been reading/hearing here is that GB has zero defense and doesn't run the ball at all. They have been running it much better the last month and as we all know, the D is a top 15 unit and actually had more INT's and Sacks than the vaunted Niners D

49ers fans are a bunch of know nothing bandwagoners. I went years at a time without seeing a 49ers hat or jersey here in central CA when they were terrible (not exaggerating on that at all). Once they started winning, wouldn't you know it, I started seeing the hats and jerseys everywhere again. Amazing how that works.

The Packers need a Wayne Simmons moment early in the game next week - knock the crap out of someone and get a turnover deep in their territory.

What they were able to do with Harris out of the backfield and the entire series with Cobb in the backfield is a good sign IMO.

5) Me not getting my arse kicked in the parking lot by a gang banger. Candlestick is much rougher these days compared to the first time I went there in 1999.

This will be my fourth Packer/SF game at the Stick and I'm 3-0 so far.

Niner fans still have a long hatred of GB since the Pack have dominated them for awhile, especially in the postseason. Hopefully that trend continues

Things I want to see: all the plays we could have run after going up 24-3 and didn't. Cobb running. Harris as a pass catcher.

What I don't want to see: the plays we ran after going up 24-3.
