    They let him run riot on that opening drive, then they bracketed him the rest of the way just like I said they should. Still, I would have expected more from Rodgers and that O even with Adams being taken out of the picture. The ST f**k-ups certainly didn't help, but I think it all amounted to a perfect storm of the O having a down day, and the ST's not being able to hold it together and bail GB out.

    I know you can't really play 'what ifs' with NFL games because they would progress differently perhaps, but if the FG was not blocked before the half and Jimmy G and the 9'ers absolutely have to score a TD on that final drive to win, then I suspect they come up short and Rodgers and Co finally get something going if the game goes to OT. The San Fran D was immense, but you are not going to shut out GB forever, eventually something would give.

    No, I agree. We needed another 7 somewhere, anywhere. 
     

    Didn’t get it and that is why the 49ers move on and everyone in Lambeau who remains in a job in February can feel very fortunate.

    Yeah, I think GB was about the strongest of a pretty poor bunch of playoff teams, I certainly had them as SB favourites, so in spite of being enormously impressed by the San Fran D performance it still has to go down as a shocker of a game for the Pack. 

    Even taking Adams completely out of the game you'd still expect a Rodgers O to put up a lot more than 10 points playing at home.

    It was impressive how Adams was taken out the game. MVS being out might have been bigger than expected as he has pace and can go deep. 
     

    I want to know how close Bakhtiari was - he could have made the difference but I agree with decision not to play him. You can’t play first game in playoffs after a year out

    Apparently Green Bay only had ten men on the field for the game winning FG, and that was after a timeout.

    I am not shocked. The sign of a special unit which has mentally gone.

    Makes me laugh when the announcers go on and on about it as if it's only ever the Home team that experiences these conditions. San Fran isn't exactly a tropical paradise and gets freezing fog games all the time, it's also seen plenty of snow games down the years. Even teams in the more temperate parts of the country usually play a couple of cold games on the road every year. Even the Chargers regularly play in Denver, KC etc when it's freezing cold. If anything, coming to San Diego and playing in 100 degree September heat was a bigger home advantage thanks to the Home team being able to select white uniforms.. It's not like it even was back prior to the 90's where teams could cling on to their best players for 10-15 years. Thanks to Free Agency you have guys playing in Tampa for years who then go and spend the remainder of their career in somewhere like Buffalo. Even Dome teams used to play and win snow games on the road. It's such an overblown thing in the NFL, the conditions are exactly the same for both teams and players play all over the USA.

    GB wins loads of games at Lambeau because they are a perennial contender and decent teams win most of their Home games regardless of weather conditions.

    The real disappointment, viewed through about 5 vodkas and at least 10 beers, is that this Packers team had a legit chance I felt. In years gone by we either had massive deficiencies on O or D. You could argue we were deficient on O tonight, which we were, but 49ers D played incredible - even though we could only really throw to Adams who was only effective on the first drive.
     

    Our D did well and nullified a shite offensive. 
     

    The special teams fucked us. 
     

    I’d still have backed us against Rams/Buccs next week in moderate temperatures.

  5. You can also get to f**k with this Lambeau being a cold storage advantage. We’ve been to one Super Bowl in a generation and we got there cos we went on the road all the time. Build a team to suit conditions.

    Get all the special teams people to f**k.

    Rodgers will walk now cos that was pathetic. Franchise Adam but Love will miss him probably.

    A few shitty Packers years coming up after we’ve finally fixed the defence.

  6. Pathetic. Specials teams have been a disgrace all year and come back to bite us again.
     

    Well done 49ers. A team in form so hopefully they get the Rams rather than the Buccs. 
     

    I’ve launched my phone across my living room and I saw something from that splinter off so that’s fucked too.

    I’m fucking raging.

  7. Convinced 49ers will win this now. Genuinely raging and heads gone - it’s the same every year. We play really well when there is ‘always next week’. Come to the playoffs and we completely shite it.

  8. f**k off. Genuinely f**k. Off.

    It’s fucking criminal. All year we’ve had to improve this and we’ve done f**k all. 
     

    The O have been dreadful, the D have been good but everyone in the special teams deserves to be unemployed tomorrow(obviously not practical) cos f**k me.

    I'm glad i'm not a 49ers fan. This game has all the hallmarks of a missed opportunity, heartbreak loss.

    Disagree. This has 9ers sneaking it all over it. They’ve been battered in every area but Packers haven’t capitalised, if it was at least 17-0(based on 9ers offence) then no one could really grumble. They are hanging  in and holding packers down before stringing two decent drives together to win.

    I'd like to see that play again, but the fact the guy who blocked it was standing bolt upright suggests it's an alignment f**k-up and he was completely untouched up the middle, rather than Crosby booting the ball too low/late

    It’s just been an accumulation of special teams and kicking shite all season so I’m not surprised it’s reached this. A kicking unit that used to be clutch has just spluttered like f**k this seasons
