Harris started the final two post season games, he was penciled in as a starter because he finished 2012 as the starter. Lacy will get the start.
I could just a scenario where MM doesn't put the rookie out there for the first offensive play of the season. That's not to say he won't get the overwhelming majority of the carries. I just thought it was odd MM had DH penciled as the starter even though he didn't play in the preseason (until the game he got hurt).
Ah. If it was any other position besides RB I would agree. If it isn't Lacey it's Kuhn in a empty backfield, which doesn't sound too likely. Really can't imagine any other RB lining up out of the gate.
Guys, it's a prediction thread. There's more outlandish predictions than Lacy not starting!
We defer
Defense with a statement 3 and out (Gore for 1 yd, Kaepernick sacked by Nick Perry, 3rd down pass rushed and overthrown to Davls and punt).
Fair catch at GB 30.
Lacy 8 yd run breaks two tackles because there is no running lane. Enough to keep SF LBs and safeties honest. Lacy finishes with 114 yds and 2 TDs. Rodgers finishes 20/24 286 yds and 2 TDs 0 ints. Packers win 31 SF 20 with SF scoring a late TD.

Take the ball.
1st play is quick slant to jones for 5 yards. Packers then go on to a 13 play drive that ends in a TD and uses 7:45 off the clock.
I'd hate to see the Niners get a quick score and put the Pack in a hole early.
1) defer
2) Starks up the middle for no gain.
defer
fake handoff to Lacy and a quick toss to Cobb.
defer
Packers come out in an inverted wishbone with Kuhn, Lacy and Quarless in the backfield.......
and Cobb at QB
Defer.
Quick pass to Finley, who is going to be a beast in the game (And season).
OK, I'll be serious.
We didn't draft 2 RBs to perpetuate our "finesse" reputation. MM calls out the O's manhood all week. The OL is fed just raw meat. No conjugal visits. In bed by 7. "Iron Man", "You Got Another Thing Coming", "Back in the Saddle", "Rock the Nation", "Paranoia", "Symphony of Destruction", "Looks that Kill", "There's only One Way to Rock", playing in a loop in the locker room.
They repeatedly give the rock to Lacy until the whiners finally stop a third down in the third quarter and the score is Pack 21 - Whiners 0 (in all seriousness)
Okay Beavis.
"I am Woman" doesn't work for me, Betty.
Defer
MM starts out conservatively, as usual. Rollout by AR and short pass over the middle to Finley.
1) Defer.
2) Flea Flicker, as Lacy pitches back to Rodgers who hits Nelson in stride for a quick TD.
Jeremy Ross wil win this game with a punt return for a TD!
Love it, that would be sweet redemption for Jeremy

Neither does the 3rd grade.
I've got to do something, I still can't believe it.
You two characters...

are going to Top Gun
1. Defer
2. Trust Rodgers to take whatever the defense is giving him at the line and go run or pass. Also trust him NOT to throw it to Finley on the first play if it is a pass. If Finley catches it he'll go into hysterics like hesingle handidly just won them the game. He's been mr dropsies a bunch this preseason. Last thing we need is him deflating the offense right off the bat. Hope he looks Finley and fires it in anywhere near Jones who's their most sure-handed guy these days.
That's the ticket!
Packers to defer on the kickoff after winning the coin toss and then the Packers do an onside kick and get it back. harbaugh then blows a gasket telling the officials it is nto fair for the Packers to do that.
