From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
I think the key is what we do on first downs. They have a superb front line on D. And if we are able to get 4+ yards consistently on first downs, that'll lead to a good run game which'll lead to wearing down their D.
If we control that much, then we win. It'll be good to get a couple of INTs as well.
Come on down and try some of our delicious green chili! Best in the world!
I'm trying to figure out why it is said that the 49ers have this spectacular rushing offense that will give us fits more than any other team. They have the same Y/C that we do at 4.3. According to PFR we have a much greater expected points out of our running game.
It actuality when you look at what has been driving their offense, it is their passing game.

I think there definitely is some laziness when evaluating them right now. They've gone on a nice little run and everyone is acting like they're the 2019 version of the 49ers, which they definitely are not. They still scare me, but not like I felt going into that Championship Game 2 years ago. Not even close.
I would call them a very good run offense. Looks to be top 10.

Even better once they realized they can play Deebo at RB.

Still a good run D, but pretty poor pass D. I would expect to have some modest running success, nothing big, enough to keep it honest, but Aaron to get a 30-35 attempts.

I definitely expect them to come out pounding, and lots of jet sweeps, end arounds, etc. Back side edges gunna have their work cut out for them.
I'm expecting teams to test Rasul. Everybody knows now how he anticipates and jumps routes. See if this kid holds strong and only jumps enough routes to get 3 INTs.
Also, Jaire should face testing. Anybody coming back from injury.
With Jaire and Z coming back, we should have some great new, unscouted looks!

Yikes, those charts definitely don't help to calm my nerves. They confirm what all of our eye tests show; since about middle of the year, they are a really freakin' good team.
I feel like the Cowboys were like a threshold throughout the year. If you beat them, you are probably a good team.
If they beat you, you are probably not a very good team.
The Niners whipped the cowboys until it got close at the end. (i think the final score made the game look closer than it really was).
So ya, the Niners are a really good team. They beat the Rams in the final week, and we just saw the Rams look like world beaters.
This does not mean the Packers are not a really good team. It doesnt mean that we shouldnt win...but heck ya the Niners can beat us and heck ya they are to be respected.
Kittle, Deebo, Aiyuk, that run game, competent QB play, elite ILB play (warner), eliter pass rush (Bosa and the gang)...yeah we need to come out on our A game.
SF wins and losses are weird. They have games they get smoked and really play bad or dominate. Not much in between. Their losses they all have a common theme..... Sacks and pressures. The cards completely shut down the run game but overall these teams got after Jimmy G or Lance
What a time to turn up the pressure with so e guys coming back. Sell out on the run on early downs and hit these qbs on 3rd. Sounds simple but the 49ers qb play cant beat us
Absolutely need disciplined OLB play. We have show we can do that. It may sacrifice pass rush a bit. We get that and make them run it up the gut and it will go a long way in stopping their rushing attack. Looking through it, the 49ers might be the worst between the tackles running team left.
