In what uniform, though? I don't even feel like having that f'n conversation right now, though.

 

[Robotech]

How do you think I feel on the west coast?

I get out of bed and see you Easterners talking about dinner.

And talking about snow and shit.

Didn't think there was any way the 49ers would win.... thought it was a lock for the Packers.... well, when you're wrong you're wrong... yeesh. 9ers defense/special teams is red hot at the moment despite Jimmy GPoarlrorlrol doing his best to give games away.

The Niners ST suck. The Pack’s ST just sucks on a different level.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say GB's ST coach will be looking for a new gig in the coming weeks.

From CBS Sports:

Aaron Rodgers has rewritten the record books throughout his Hall of Fame career and added another mark during Saturday night's NFC divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. But this record the Green Bay Packers legend wants nothing to do with.

Rodgers became the first quarterback in NFL history to lose four times to a single opponent in the Super Bowl era after falling to the the San Francisco 49ers 13-10. Green Bay scored 20 points or fewer in three of those four setbacks.

Rodgers previously was tied for the most playoff losses to a single opponent with three. Philip Rivers lost three times to the New England Patriots, Bernie Kosar lost three times to the Denver Broncos, and John Brodie lost three times to the Dallas Cowboys. Of the quarterbacks with three losses in the playoffs to a single opponent, Rodgers is the only one with a championship.

Rodgers finished 20 of 29 for 225 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in the loss, the second career game in the postseason he finished with no passing touchdowns. The Packers have failed to reach the Super Bowl the last three times they were the No. 1 seed, losing their first playoff game two of those three times. Green Bay hasn't reached the Super Bowl as a No. 1 seed since Brett Favre was quarterbacking them in 1996.

Congrats to Niners fans. Good luck in the CG.

Had to work during the game but finally got to watch it and that was the very definition of an ugly win.

Packers definitely gave that game away and I thought last year's game might've been the worse playoff loss of Rodgers career but I think this one might top it.

Special teams lost it for sure but they really had no business being in a position to lose it in the first place. 9ers had negative yards until their last drive of the 1st half when they put together a good drive that good ole Jimmy poured the gas on and threw a match on it. Should've at worst been a two score game if not a 3 score game at half for the Packers.

Seems like once they had that fumble their offense just fell apart after that and they played in order to protect their 7 point lead instead of really add onto it. So in a bizarre way maybe the 9ers complete offensive ineptitude helped them because it caused the Packers to feel like they could play passive instead of trying to score lots of points.

But credit should be given to the 9ers defense because I did feel after the Packers 2nd drive that ended in a fumble they did make adjustments and stymied the Packers offense most of the way. Adams did a lot of damage on the 1st drive and did damage on another one but beyond that the 9ers had him in check.

Packers defense played great as well and I thought they obviously got the most out of the bye week since they looked like they were fresh and playing with a lot of energy.

A win is a win but 9ers are going to need Jimmy G to start playing better if they want to cash it in as they can't keep relying on their opponents screwing it up to win.

Reminiscent of the 2014 CG at Seattle. Defense played great, Rodgers came out fast but couldn't bury an under acheiving opponent. Yeah, those 2 likely the worst but honestly, the 2 to Kaepernick, last year, a lot to consider about Rodgers' ability in the post season.
Take away all the regular season accolades and a similar career to Joe Flacco. Obviously apples and oranges here as Rodgers is 1000 times better than Flacco but it was 1 magical run and a lot of disappointment since.

A lot of big winner$ from the moneyline bets yesterday with both #1 GB and #1 TN falling to teams they were predicted to dominate.

Rogers and Green Bay simply let the 49'ers hang around the entire game and eventually SF started believing they actually had a chance to win and then started playing like it.

Well, he truly is a Niners fan. He can’t bear to see them lose even if he would be the winner. Normally, you want your childhood team to win unless they are playing you, but not for Rodgers. “I won’t stand in your way.”

Brady is just glad he only saw the Giants twice…

Yes, the Packers D played great tonight too, but there can only be one hero and it goes to the winning D.

Actually, it should really go to the winning special teams.

 

[cowboycolors]

I’m just glad that Rodgers is going home to his crazy girlfriend to contemplate his next eff up and where he might be going so the announcers can quit slobbering all over him.

 

[SteelersPride]

Special teams is not the only thing that cost gb that game….not even close…

 

[Caliskinsfan]

The Niners ST suck. The Pack’s ST just sucks on a different level.

Didn't suck when it mattered... In the end that's all that matters

I think it was the nail in the coffin but 10 points at Lambeau with two scoreless quarters….my god IM SO HUNGOVER lol

Absolutely a major factor, and the nail in the coffin. Bit the offensive inefficiencies put them in that position.

It was pretty gross to watch. I think this might overtake the 2014 NFCCG at Seattle as far as leaving a bad taste in my mouth, I’m still debating it; it’s damn close.
