My dream outlook was Vikings today and Redskins tomorrow, because I’m confident we can beat the Redskins, but that was unlikely even if the Vikes had a QB.
Webb’s line:
11/30 180 Yds. 1 TD 1 INT QBR: 54.9
Ponder’s line (last week):
16/28 234 Yds 3 TD 0 INT QBR: 94.6
To be fair to Webb, Poder’s certainly had games like Joe had last night before…
Maybe next year they can run the wildcat with Webb and Ponder.
I didn’t enjoy that game as much as I otherwise might have.
Yes, go Vikings. Go all the way back home to Minneapolis.
The road to the Super Bowl runs through San Francisco now. It is written.
If we had a healthy defense, I’d be confident. With both Smiths banged up, far less so.
Mike, I’m going to drag you kicking and screaming to Belief.
Has the defense played will since Justin Smith got hurt? New England scored 28 unanswered points, Seattle crushed us, and Arizona had an almost exactly average (for them) game. Nor has Alton Smith has a sack since the Miami game.
49ers are three-point favorites, and SF did win back in Week 1 at Lambeau. Playing at home is a big help for any team and SF is no different.
With that said, Kaepernick will be under center, not Smith. A scamper-happy young quarterback combined with a strong running back as the offense is… well, when you put it that way they sound a lot like the Minnesota Vikings, don’t they?
Eh, that’s happy talk, Burt. The 49ers are no Vikings. Just like I said (not here) before Week 1, it’s gonna take a good game from this Packer team by its own standard to beat the 49ers (and that was when I still thought of the team as being who they were in 2011, who just faded at the end due to attrition). I flat knew that they were simply not ready for the physicality Harbaugh was going to bring to Lambeau that day. And they weren’t. Now they know it’s coming. Do they have the healthy athletes to stand up to it? We’ll see.
OTOH, maybe it’ll be Fail Mary II at Lambeau.
Game’s at the Stick, man. Y’all earned that by half a game.
Isn’t playing at Candlestick a punishment rather than a reward?
I know watching a game there sure is.
It’s the dead of winter here. The weather’s fine.
Now, if they played football in June…
The weather’s only fine for two weeks in October. As a former bike messenger who spent most of each day outdoors, I can state with absolute certainty that the January weather in SF is not fine.
Now, for anywhere in the region outside the northern portion of the peninsula, I’d agree with you.
But then again, given the ‘Stick’s quirks, maybe January is in fact the only time it manages to channel a warm wind into the stadium.
I can state with absolute certainty that the January weather in SF is not fine.
Compared to Lambeau, it’s downright balmy.
Just a reminder: over-cautious/pessimistic, but rabid, Packer fan here. Haven’t really liked what I’ve seen as a lack of fire this year, though. Looking better though.
Apologies mate. Forgot that you too are a Packer Backer.
No apologies, no regrets! No apologies no regrets! No apologies no regrets!
Clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose!
Go Pack!
And all that stuff. Cheers.
Mike,
If the humidity’s low, a frigid Lambeau will be more comfortable than the ‘Stick on a cool damp day. There’s something especially evil about temps in the 40s/low 50s with high humidity–hypothermia hell. We were having that for a few weeks here, then it finally got colder and drier, and it was a blessed relief. I’ve been outside when it’s below zero (Fahrenheit), but very dry, and it’s really not that bad at all.
If the air is still, I might agree with you, James. But below zero with any wind is much, much, much worse than any amount of dampness and a temperature above freezing.
HAAAAWKS!!!!!
Word.
It is so nice not to have everyone be all ‘9ER’s! or RAIDERS!
So again, go Hawks!
Go Colts! Oh, wait.
No such Luck.
Has anybody pointed out that the Donkeys look good this year?
Because the Donkeys look good this year.
I’m looking forward to the Packers vindicating Super Bowl 32!
The 49ers have a chance to revenge …
Oh, that’s right, they’re 5-0. Never mind.
I admit to part of me wanting Manning to get as far into the playoffs as Tebow got and no further.
Since Burt has directed questions that are concealed sports partisanship here, and is going on about the beauty of the clouds where he lives: “If God doesn’t love the Broncos, why are sunsets blue and orange?”
For those too young to remember, or who have never had the pleasure of watching a classic Front Range sunset, the somewhat peculiar shades of orange and blue used in the Denver Broncos uniforms before the mid-1990s make-over were a close match to those sunset colors. Enough so that you would sometimes hear football fans seeing that sunset for the first time say, “Oh, that’s why the uniforms are those colors!”
Threading failure at 25 comments is kinda 🙁
I’ll send an e-mail to the blog’s administrator about that.
First offensive play from scrimmage on Saturday, Kaepernick is going to go for the long bomb TD off a playaction Gore up the middle.
The Packers secondary has been stiffening of late. (Sorry about the image.)
Kaepernick might do well in short yardage but I don’t think GB will give him much time in the pocket. GB has doubtless been watching the Seahawks-49ers game, trying to figure out how to duplicate that win but after the loss to the Vikings, it’s pretty clear GB’s running on fumes. They’re just too banged up. Oh, I think GB will acquit themselves well against the Seahawks, it’s going to be a great game. But GB’s ground game is hurtin’ for certain.
