Just Win, thank you!

Let's go boys. Do what we do!

What does Harbaugh always say? Football is for the tough. I think the team has the right mentality to pull this off.

 

[h0ckeysk83r]

Honestly this Green Bay team does not scare me as much as the past. But that's why we play the game.

Our pass defense has me nervous....

Either of the potential wild card round matchups (Eagles or Packers) is tough, so IMO, it doesn't matter which one we drew.

Not me. We have been stronger than years past. I'll agree we have had 2 bad games with it recently. But I know we can stop them.

 

[h0ckeysk83r]

All the pundits are slobbering over Rodgers being back and there win. And our weak pass d of late.

Can't wait till Sunday. We are a different team in the playoffs.

 

[RobertPhD01]

Green Bay was favored early, the line moved to us favored now by 2.5! I think we may need to run and control the time of posession! Go 49ers!!

 

[Badger8843]

-2.5 on the road in the playoffs is a toss up, should be another great game....Sportsbook has it at 49ers-3 and 49.5

 

[purguy12]

Im more nervous about our CBs. Only CB playing awesome right now is Brock. Rogers is having a bad year and is hurt and Brown has been so so. We need Whitner and Reid to play great.

 

[ChrisPozz]

The 49ers signed Perrish Cox today. Carlos Rogers is awaiting the results of his MRI.

 

[CalamityX11]

Wasn't Cox signed with Seattle? or maybe he was being look at only...

well, at least its someone who's familar with the defense at least.

 

[TobyTyler]

Ley's hope Harbaugh learned a lesson from the Cardinal game. During the short time where they used trickeration and innovative offensive play they dominated and took a quick 17 to nothing lead. Then they went back to the same old tired routine of their one-read passing game and a running game of Gore up the gut and they got dominated. If this continues in Green Bay, look out, its one and done. The way both 49er lines were physically dominated is really cause for concern.

They signed him first on November 26th to take Walter Thurmond's roster spot while he was suspended but then they released him the next day on the 27th. That usually means they didn't like something medically with him. Then, they signed him again for a 2nd time on December 11th to take Jeron Johnson's roster spot but then released him on the 27th after they re-activated Thurmond from the suspended list.

Jim Harbaugh on the Green Bay playoff challenge: ?Is there a way to prepare for the cold weather?? | Talking Points

Bill Parcells (my all-time favorite) might be proud of this entire exchange. Give. Them. Nothing.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Whole thing looks like this:

Chiefs at Colts - Saturday at 4:35 ET on NBC
Saints at Eagles/Cowboys - Saturday at 8:10 ET on NBC

Chargers at Bengals - Sunday at 1:05 ET on CBS
49ers at Packers - Sunday at 4:40 ET on FOX

Obviously this means the 49ers will get Buck, Aikman, and Oliver on the mic again this year.

Is that true? I thought Kenny, Moose & Goose get one game... I could be wrong here...

Eric Branch:

FOX's Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call the #49ers wild-card game at Green Bay on Sunday.

What are your biggest concerns heading into the playoffs?

I'll start.

1. Coaching - as stupid as that sounds, I think we need a better offensive game plan than running it up the middle on third down, and Harbaugh blows too many time outs challenging plays, that could come back to bite us. We've also discussed the offensive game plan before, which I will put on Harbaugh since he is the head coach.

2. Kaepernick -- He's played well since Crabtree has come back, but the defenses will tighten up, he will need to make his reads, see the field, and make the right throws. He will also need to go to people other than Boldin and Crabtree at times. He also is going to be playing in Green Bay, then maybe Seattle, he can't get rattled.

3. Whatever is causing us to get torched in the passing game the last couple of games --- we'll need to fix this for Green Bay.

Astoundingly they had a delay of game penalty aftert a timeout......after a timeout! Right before Patton's big catch.

Yeah but, I don't like the fact that he is already bypassing the Packers and is at least considering making plans for the Panthers:

-Q: There’s a chance you could play at Green Bay and then at Carolina the next week. Has there been any thought about the logistics of staying out there–like maybe in Youngstown like you’ve done–between games so you don’t have to make two trips?

-HARBAUGH: Uhh, I’ve given it some thought.
