***Official Pack @ SF*** (1 Viewer)

[butcher boy]

How about if the offense scores 30 points and they lose I'll give kaep a pass? 30 points is what they scored in lambeau.

You remind me a lot of the Packers fans who cheered against the Packers after Favre left, hoping that TT and MM would fail and be fired. I'm not saying that you are cheering against SF...but it seems you are so against the QB change that you can't enjoy the fact that your favorite team just got a first round bye and very well may be on their way to the Super Bowl in a few weeks.As a Packer fan, I'm not sure who I'd rather start for SF. Smith is efficient, although not spectacular. Kaep may be prone to mistakes, but he can also create things that Smith simply cannot. As a 49er fan, do you not agree that Kaep has a higher ceiling than Smith?

Agreed. Kaep has more potential than Smith no doubt about it. I just think Smith gives us the better chance to win in 2012. Didn't the Packers do away with Favre in the offseason? As I said, if Smith failed then you'd have the perfect excuse to let him go, and go with Kaep. If he played well and kept improving, then I don't see a reason to fix what isn't broken.

The NFL window is never as big as you want.If you see a guy has the potential to be better and there is any opportunity to get him in there...you have to do it.You can't wait and see for another year and another possible failure to move on...your window could close quickly.

My pro-Smith argument back when the QB switch was made was that Smith did give us the best shot of winning this year mainly because he's arguably the safer of the two options especially in the month leading up to the playoffs, and when our defense is firing on all cylinders, having a safe option at QB worked for us last year. I've since changed my tune a bit mainly because of injuries and the fact that the defense is not playing as well as it once was. At this point I think a Superbowl is not as likely as it seemed earlier in the season, and this at least provides great experience for Kaepernick going into next year.

One more note: Alex Smith was still working on his basic mechanics this past off-season. Really important basic stuff like footwork and hips. Release is still an issue, and all this adds up to is he still having to take sacks due to the mechanics, read and recognition, etc.

No one here, is arguing Smith of 2005-2010 is a better QB than Kaep. As Mad Sweeney mentioned, I don't think you can put those failures all on him. If there's one thing you can't knock Smith for, it's intelligence. Most NFL people recognize he's one of the top 5 most intelligent QBs, they just claim he doesn't have all the physical tools. Debatable, maybe he can only throw it 50 yards in air instead of 60. Watch his TD throw to crabtree last year against the rams if you don't think he can throw a nice 50 yard deep ball.

He was working on "cleaning-up" his mechanics over the offseason. Every professional sports player does this. You don't think baseball players work on the mechanics of their swing? Pitchers on their pitches? Basketball players on their shots? That's what the offseason is for. Your arguments are really deteriorating...

There was a little flirtation on both sides, but Alex Smith wound up back in San Francisco.

That means he will be working with the same offensive coordinator for a second season for the second time in his eight-year NFL career. That means he doesn’t have to spend the offseason learning a new playbook. Greg Roman and the rest of the 49ers offensive staff will use the time to focus on two mechanical flaws in Smith’s game this offseason, according to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. The belief is that correcting the flaws will make Smith a more accurate passer.

Smith will be working on keeping his front leg flexed while throwing and he will be trying to drop back in a straighter line. Smith goes off center while dropping back, something that the team feels is affecting his accuracy. Smith completed a career-high 61.3 percent of his passes while taking the 49ers to the NFC Championship Game.

Accuracy might also be improved if the additions to the 49ers’ receiving corps — Mario Manningham, A.J. Jenkins and Randy Moss — give Smith better options when throwing the ball. If the mechanical work and the new faces work, Smith should be in line for an even better season than he had in 2011.

Smith wasn't going to Butch Harmon to work out the kinks in his golf swing. Roman was still trying to work those flaws going into his second season with Smith. This after being coached by Urban Meyer, Mike McCarthy, Jim Hostler, Norv Turner, Mike Martz, and Jimmy Raye. For an intelligent guy, that's a lot of coaching to work out a mental kink.

Thanks for the reminder :shivers: ... As a ticket taker for all those years, I was lucky enough to endure watching most of those games in person.I still remember walking through the grown men holding up picket signs wanting York's head as I made my way into work.

John York should never be held in high esteem by any 49er fan the way he constantly screwed that team up. He was an idiot when it came to football. He also moved the team to San Jose.

 

[packseasontix]

It doesn't even matter though. We're more than ready to face Aaron Rodgers after facing Brian Hoyer and Ryan Tannehill late in the season.

For sure you know how to defend the running lanes against him. Just like with Kaep the difference will be after he lets go off the ball.I love how serious you took the comments. Don't you realize the defense needs to be prepared to stop a running back.Again the Packers have been killed in the past by running QBs having a week under their belt will help them maintain lanes, not over pursue, and be ready for the QB to take off.

 

[sho nuff]

NFC seems great this year with this final 4.Really more interesting than the AFC side which would be a surprise if one of the 2 road teams made it IMO.In the NFC...I could see any of the 4 remaining teams making the SB.There is not one that would shock me at all. Even ATL...which may shock some if they made it...is a very good team (just unproven thus far in the postseason).I think a case could be made for any of them.Should be some great football this weekend.

 

[sho nuff]

Anyone else concerned about the GB WRs?Cobb practiced on Tuesday, sat out Wednesday(said he had the flu)Nelson didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday. Looked like he reinjured his leg in the last game.

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/186334172.htmlCobb and Nelson back at practice.Boykin could be out for the game and a chance that Driver suits up (has been doing more ST work this week).

The first few plays Webb was absolutely murdering them. It was when he tried to pass GB was able to maintain lanes and not over pursue. If Webb has been able to dump it off to his players when they were completely open, GB would have still been torn up on the ground. I'm glad to see it seems you're in the minority among GB fans when it comes to realizing the obvious.

[Short Corner]

GB Press Gazette has avery laudatory article on the niners

Kaep has a 98% qb rating, which puts him in the top 10. He may not be Rodgers, but he is better than 2/3rds of the qbs in the nfl.

He is no Webb.

And Alex Smith was top 3 in QBR this year...I can't wait for this game as a Niner fan. If we win, it means we're in the NFC Championship game again. If we lose, then it will prove Harbaugh was wrong to put in Kaep this year. Alex Smith got us to the NFC Championship game last year, going toe to toe with Drew Brees to do so. Hell he could have gotten us to the Super Bowl if not for Kyle Williams. Oh and he beat Green Bay in Lambeau this year. If Kaep is soooo much better, then he should be able to beat them at home. It's a simplistic argument, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

This argument is a little flawed. If Kaep had Manningham, William, and Hunter at his disposal this weekend, then it would make more sense.

It's more than a little flawed. It's flat out horrid.

How is the argument horrid? If Kaep loses the game then his record will be worse than Smith's too. Do I need to bring Herm Edwards in to remind you why they play the game?

And if Den loses at home it proves that it was a mistake to let Tebow go and replace him with Peyton.

No, Peyton Manning has a better record and Tebow didn't win a divisional playoff game...

Agreed with the bolded. They seem to get gashed by running QBs....and Kaep's ability to pull it down for big gainers scares the bejeezus out of me as Packer fan.I'm NOT saying Kaep = Webb. And I'm not saying GB's defense has it all figured out. Not by any stretch of the imagination...

BUT there's a big difference between Webb being announced as the starter late, late in the week last week (publicly the announcement came the day of the game...perhaps insiders knew sooner) vs. having a whole week to prepare, adjust & gameplan for that type of QB.

We'll know in a little more than 24 hours. If you need me, I'll be

New England picked them apart running a no huddle, spread them out type offense. That's what the Packers like to do and could be the key to the game.

"I don't have the same feeling that I did," Rodgers said Thursday afternoon on his weekly radio show on 540 ESPN and ESPNWisconsin.com. (He'd watched the seven-second interview clip on YouTube earlier in the week on an iPhone at his locker.) "That interview was right after I did my interview at the podium, back behind the Green Room. I'd been picked probably 20 minutes earlier. It was an emotional day, a long day. "At the time, I wanted to play right away that day and prove the other 22 teams that passed on me that they'd made a mistake. I look at it differently now. This is where I would have wanted to be had I known then what I know now – about the kind of working environment that this is, the opportunities I would be given, the coaching staff that was going to be here. I mean, I interviewed with Mike McCarthy. He was in San Francisco."

"If they pick me, both our lives are changed," Rodgers said of McCarthy, who replaced Mike Sherman as Packers coach in 2006. "What would have happened had they picked me and things been different? I don't like doing the whole what-if game. I just know I'm really glad that I fell into God's Country here in Wisconsin and had the opportunity to spend my early years the way I did and now gotten the opportunity to be the starter and play for this team."

If you want to beat the packers, your front four have to be able to put pressure on Rodgers. Pressure with the front four, play good cover two, you will slow Rodgers down enough that you can outscore the Packers (likely).For the 49ers, all 13 players on the injury report were listed as probable.

Defensive lineman Justin Smith (elbow, triceps), who has missed the last two games, was a limited participant all week. Among the others limited Friday were: safety Dashon Goldson (shoulder), linebacker Aldon Smith (shoulder) and cornerback Tarell Brown (shoulder)(journal sentinel)

If the Smith Brothers (no relation) are limited, I don't see 49'rs beating the Packers. Scoring on them, yes. Winning, no. Rodgers will outscore Kaep in that scenario.

Did I say they had it all figured out? Did I say they were going to stop Kaep for sure? No I simply said a week already worrying about that and getting burned will help this week hopefully.I am worried about tonight though. Hopefully the Packers play up to the level they can. I think they should as they have been rolling along lately but it's tough to know.

most of my friends who live in other states stock up on Spotted Cow when visiting "back" home" and then bring cases to where they live

Yes...case of Spotted Cow and a 30 pack of PBR light made the trip back with me from Wisconsin after New Years.Along with a cooler of meat.The usual import of Wisconsin products when I visit.

Yeah, try getting good meat in another state....just not the same. People who get all excited about steaks in big cities don't realize....it's often no better than any average steak you get at someone's home in WI.Back to the game: very worried about tonight. Think that SF's o-line will be able to get push on the Packer d-line, helping them control the clock. On flip side, I expect the SF defense to get pressure on Rodgers while only rushing 4. Our receivers will have trouble getting separation. Just a hunch.

Plus the price...Find whole tenderloins for no more than 7.99/lb when I visit there...down here its never cheaper than 14.99/lb.Trim it up at the parents house. Use the vacuum sealer they have and freeze it for the trip home.

Plus Brats and tons of other great things from Haens in Kaukauna. Few blocks of cheese, brats, chicken broils, beef sticks, cheese curds.

I don't often buy much beef down here...though, one store has had some pretty good ribeyes and found a new butcher I just have not tried the stuff yet.

Good luck with the ACLs guys. Can't decide who I'd rather have win,though watching Harbaugh look defeated is very satisfying. I'm just hoping for an epic rematch next week with whoever if Seattle can advance.

No doubt Moss is going to have to step up. Lots of attention will be on Crab this weekend. I just hope Kaep has learned how to get it to him on the deep routes. So many times, the ball was not put in the right place for Moss to make a play on it.Am I the only one that thinks Harbaugh emphasized Kaep to stay in the pocket more over these last few games rather than tuck and run with a master plan to unleash his feet this weekend? Just a hunch but I'm thinking Kaep finishes the day with close to 100 on the ground and maybe 1 rushing TD.

I was happily off on the rushing and TD total, but I'll take it! The stick was rocking tonight... I have no more voice

If Green Bay wants a chance against these rushing QBs, they need to dump Capers and get somebody in there that isn't a relic. NFL has changed.

Is the rushing QB a real change, or something that joins the Wildcat in the last pages of the playbook?And, if it's here to stay, how many of those guys are around? Considering that this nation of 330 million cannot produce 32 starting-caliber QB's at the same time.

Will be interesting to see how long the zone read stuff does last in the NFL.Its extremely effective when you don't see it much...but how long before the better defensive coordinators figure it out and scheme better against it?

it neutralizes the aggressiveness of your guy coming off the end. Most of the game Matthews wouldn't challenge Staley's gimpy right arm, I imagine that was because he had contain responsibilty. The read doesn't need to be your main threat, but it is good to have on your tool box against good pass rushing ends/OLBs.
