Game Thread: 49ers at Packers (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

Cedric Benson and the Packers is the definition of a square peg in a round hole.

Maybe, but it would be fair to reserve judgement until they aren't facing the best rush defense in the NFL.

 

[Hawks64]

Perhaps someone can explain how Randy Moss is wide open in the endzone?

Packers D is horrendous yet again this year have done nothing to address the lack of a pass rush without a blitz. Secondary will be a mess again this year too.

 

[drummer]

The Niners are so impressive, top to bottom. I'm more of an Alex Smith fan than most, but that said, had Peyton Manning signed with San Francisco, they would have slept-walked into the Super Bowl.

I don't know what else people want Smith to do

Be Peyton Manning would be one. On this team though, even Peyton wouldn't have to be Peyton.

There is no shame in not being as good as Peyton Manning. But this season is on Alex Smith. They have the running game, defense, ST and coaching to make it all the way. And they have now given Smith viable WRs to throw to, to go along with Vernon Davis, so this season is on him. They will go as far as he can take them.

You can take my knee-jerk reactions after a quarter and a half of the first game of the season when you pry them from my cold dead hands.

As I said, I like him. But who on earth would say he's better than (a healthy) Manning?

IMO Grant should have been kept.

 

[smackdaddies]

Smith still stares down routes.

i just wish the packers would pay attention

 

[GOB]

It's a jump to conclusions mat

No. It's one half of one game to start the season. We know exactly how things are and will be

Their starting CBs would be nickel or dime secondary pieces in most other teams.

You should also factor in there is exactly no run blocking for him either. Arian Foster would have a tough time running behind this line.

 

[jurb26]

The 49ers look clearly better than the Pack right now. It's crazy they are only up 10.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Yea no PI there, nope none.

 

[Hawks64]

I really dislike Jones. Have never been impressed with him and looks like that will continue.

 

[Mario Kart]

Yea no PI there, nope none.

If the flag was thrown that would have been very ticky tack.

 

[jurb26]

Yea no PI there, nope none.

The ball was clearly uncatchable.

Manning isn't healthy. That's the problem.

 

[Hawks64]

Either way these refs have made some really bad calls on both sides of the ball. Fing horrible.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Of course it was. He was holding his arm.

 

[Mr.Pack]

 

[Hawks64]

James Jones f'ing sucks. Man I hate that jackass.

 

[Short Corner]

Yea no PI there, nope none.

THAT'S what PI looks like

 

[jurb26]

Yea no PI there, nope none.

THAT'S what PI looks like

 

[Ghost Rider]

Brutal.

They don't call a blatant PI jersey grab on SF, and then take away a long pass on a pushoff that did nothing.

Wow.

 

[Short Corner]

Yea no PI there, nope none.

Of course it was. He was holding his arm.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Pretty clear push-off. Michael Irvin might have even drawn a flag on that one.

[Hawks64]

Man is Benson so much better than Grant. So glad we let Grant go and signed Benson.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Cobb out of the backfield is ingenious

 

[jurb26]

Pretty sure this is a product of an amazing 49er run D and not Benson vs. Grant.

 

[Hawks64]

Let's start Cobb over Jones. He's a much better WR than Jones. Much better hands.

 

[timschochet]

Finley shaken up there.

 

[FavreCo]

at Finley.

 

[MaxThreshold]

gimme a f'n break. SF is now just playing dirty.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Finley is still an idiot.

ETA: Albeit a talented one.

 

[tjnc09]

Lol

 

[jurb26]

At Finely ridding Cox like a little kid ridding his dog after that play. And again, horrible PI call.

 

[Mario Kart]

I don't see any thing wrong with what the refs have done so far. What I see a problem with, and this will not go away, is how Aikman and Buck cannot go a couple plays without mentioning the refs.

These two need to go work for CBS or something.

Grant is still a better RB than Benson IMO

 

[sho nuff]

Finley looking good

 

[timschochet]

Cobb, Finley, Jennings, Nelson, Jones.

How do you decide who is going to be hot from week to week?

 

[tjnc09]

gimme a f'n break. SF is now just playing dirty.

Because Finley is an idiot?

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

I guess Goodell forgot to tell the replacement scabs that they are not to call P.I. on the offense EVER!

 

[IvanKaramazov]

gimme a f'n break. SF is now just playing dirty.

 

[thecatch]

gimme a f'n break. SF is now just playing dirty.

Surely you jest

 

[Mr.Pack]

The dude can act though.

 

[Hawks64]

Very talented idiot.

 

[drummer]

Maybe not dirty but cheap.

 

[Mario Kart]

Did you guys just hear what Buck said?

They were leaving for commercial and Buck said something like, "10-7 Wisconsin."

WTF
