Old Guy Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 5 minutes ago, Mazrimiv said: The 2021 blocked punt game is the only time MLF has faced SF in the playoffs, and both teams have changed a lot since then. Wasn't he the coach when they ran the ball down our throats for close to 300 yards. We couldn't stop Mostert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HokieHigh Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) 33 minutes ago, Brit Pack said: I hope not!!! I like that MLF is forced to give Jones over 20 carries a game and give him a little rest with no name RBs. If Dillion is in Jones will lose snaps and while Dillon will run hard he won't break away like Jones does and keep the defence scared. Jones had to get spelled for wilson multiple times. Need for rest is important to stay explosive. Dillon is definitely a plus over wilson and taylor. Especially in pass pro and receiving. Jones will get his 20 to 25 touches.

Yeah, Jimmy G threw like 3 passes and we got obliterated. That was the game that sealed Pettine’s exit and brought in Barry who had been in LA trying to figure out how to stop Shanahan’s offense for a while.

Mdpackfan22 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 One massive factor will be this will be Musgrave's 3rd week back and Watson's 2nd back. Both should be significantly better and more consistent this week. With Kraft coming on while Musgrave was injured, the 2 TE sets the Packers can run are an X factor. It creates mismatches all over the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker90 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Mini rant: I hate when people are overly conservative and think it’s smart ( non political talk ). Silverstein for example emphatically said he’d be shocked if we won yesterday. And he’s always like that. It makes zero sense why people view being cautious /conservative as being smart. This week we have SF. And they’re a good favorite. We are 100% a live dog. there are many ways we can win this game. 1. if our offensive line plays like they did yesterday, our offense will score points to be competitive. Their secondary isn’t that good, and we’re on fire. 2. Brock Purdy is not a good QB. Idc if he throws to an open CMC /Kittle/Deebo and they take it to the house. If we put pressure on him, he will give us opportunities for a Turnover. We just gotta take advantage . 3. we just gotta tackle. No quick strikes. Keep things in front of you and tackle . Im in on GB +10 very large. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn’t turn out to be right…at all!! Why do you get to call it “realism”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the 2019 season and Pettine returned and coached the 2020 season. Barry has coached in 2 playoff games for the Packers, the 13-10 lose to the 49ers and yesterday's game. Both game he had an excellent gameplan for the opponent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just being ‘cautious ‘ However, if someone had us winning 12 games and we won like 7-8 people would find it laughable . it just bothers me a lot lol. Anyways, we for sure have a chance to win this game. Don’t let anyone tell you different . Live dogs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Penske Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 With Enegbare’s ACL (damnit), do they bust the Cox out in San Fran? https://x.com/aaronnagler/status/1746954712413278558?s=46&t=fptgYtQ-rJhbexsz_O7tFQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our true weakness is, and has been for 12 years stopping the run consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It's crazy... I had hoped maybe GB could have had a game like the Rams vs the Lions, punch and counterpunch, win or lose, just in it until the end. I didn't see a beat down coming at all. Fast forward, that's my hope for this week. If GB can punch back and make it a game, I'm absolutely thrilled with this season. The only thing that could spoil this season as feeling like an absolute win would be for them to not show up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have nothing to lose and you know MLF would LOVE (tee hee) to send Mr. Tampering himself, Shanahan home... Yeah .. both of these coaches will be looking to embarrass one another. We owe Shanny. LaFleur probably feels more freedom than he ever has had in GB now that Rodgers is gone. Time to really open up that bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bigger concern about the defense this week is that because of the way that game got extended yesterday, we had some guys who played upwards of 80-90 snaps on defense. Now you're going West Coast on short week against a physical offense. Going to need to kick it into overdrive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
