Week 1: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

[Brandwin]

A week from today and I can't wait! Let's get the discussion going.

Re: Week 1: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

Packers with a rookie RB going against one of the best run defenses in the league.
49ers with a rookie safety facing one of the best QBs in the league.
49ers won the last 2.

Packers have great LBs so might make quick work of the read option but that would open up Davis and any RB passing schemes.

34-34 tie due to a massive officating gaff on each side and a missed Dawson FG at the end of OT.

The Packers have been working hard all offseason no doubt to stop the read option that killed them in the playoffs. If they allow it to happen again I will lose all faith in Dom Capers and his defensive coaches.

I HOPE that situation doesn't happen, and I believe the Packers have the personal to stop it this time around.

Rodgers finds a little more comfort with a slightly improved running game, and the Packers win 31-24.

Wouldn't go as far to call the Packers LBers "great" outside of Clay.

Anyway, if the team wants to do whatever it takes to shed this "soft" label that's been attached to them since the end of last season, this is a perfect test to get rid of it.

Well they're not Willis/Bowman/Smith/Brooks but you can do a lot worse than Clay and Hawk.

Just don't get anybody hurt. That's all I ask out of this.

Re: Week 1: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

I'm not really too worried about Green Bay stopping the 49ers read-option. It's just a phase of the offense anyways. Now if the Packers shut down the 49ers run game completely, then I'd probably be more worried.

Had a friend who I roomed with 2 years back invite me to the game.

The only thing is I have to wake up at 5 am...

Re: Week 1: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers have had to shuffle some things on the back end which should make them more vulnerable to our passing game. However, there's a reasonable chance the Smiths, Brooks, Willis and Bowman will rape our offensive line and nullify the threat we pose to their secondary.

If Bakhtiari and Barclay hold up, I think we win 28-24 or 21-17. If not, I think the 49ers beat us 28-17 or 24-13.

Game of the week, IMO.

Should be freakin' awesome. I wish it was later in the season for foggy SF weather, though. Maybe in January they'll meet again.

What's Kaepernick gonna do? Throw it?

Pack by 7.

Re: Week 1: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

Rodgers surviving this week with no injuries would be a victory for the Packers.

Re: Week 1: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

Even with our problems, the niners should win this easily (no offense packers fans).

[roadman]

Re: Week 1: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

No offense taken, Niner fan.

Packers just signed Seneca Wallace to back up Rodgers and cut BJ Coleman.

Interesting, Wallace on they payroll week one and Tolzien on the PS.

Of course rooting for the Pack, this will be a close game, not like the blowout suggested above.

Re: Week 1: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

Honestly, Just want 2 things.. Hopefully it's close and No Injuries.

I'll live with that result.
