Packer/49ers Playoff Game Day

[FISHINGURU]

So much for Vikings fans clinging onto that false belief that defense wins championships...

Poor guy, let us guess "it's a passing league". Down goes Manning, Down goes Rodgers.

[Scott K]

How did these teams do with the top 3 passing yards this season?

[snoozebutton]

LOL, Harvey you have no idea what you are talking about.

Nothing new there.

The fact that the Packers were playing without Worthy, Perry, Bishop, Bulaga, Starks, Benson, a new center and left tackle, 2 running backs they picked up off the scrap heap and against a team that was relatively healthy was just too hard to overcome.

[LMITOUT]

I see that Seattle's defense is doing well today...

[ikatcher]

And thats why they are losing. Duh.

[ikatcher]

I thought Packer fans didn't use excuses??? They could be losing by 28 pts with 3 min left and they all stay in their seats cheering them on to the end. As much as you guys like to think you are different, you"re no different then any other fan of any other team! Get over yourselves!

[countyline]

Not only did my Packer loving friends have to watch the Packers loose, they had to listen to Troy Aikman tell them about it!!!!

No, but Atlanta's defense is doing pretty well.

[LMITOUT]

Gotta love Vikings fans defending a system and a game plan that has yielded them absolutely nothing.

Great RB + mediocre defense = recipe for failure year after year in a league full of high power offenses.

[MontanaMax]

Niners coaches watched last Saturday's game and saw what the Vikings coaches didn't: Green Bay's porous defense can't stop the read option. Helps when the read option QB can also accurately throw the ball. I'm a Vikes fan but they didn't stand a chance either, RG3 showed that.

Nothing like a Packers loss to stoke the schadenfreude in Vikes fans!

[ikatcher]

Dont see anybody defending anything about the Vikings here. I certainly would not question you(limitout), its pretty clear that you know everything.

Looks like they did what Greenbay couldn't. Just one drive to late

The Vikes don't have the personal to run the same offense as the 49er's. There is only a few teams that do. Running QBs usually don't make it too long in the NFL do to injuries and schemes to stop them.

[LMITOUT]

The Atlanta Vikings almost choked that one away again.

Calling a timeout with 13 sec left?

He was giving Packer fans a simile back of what Packer fans did "for real" to opposing teams buses.

Nice edit.

I think you're arguing with yourself again LMIT. No one is defending the Vikings? You were the first and only person to mention the Vikings in this thread.

Remember, you said it yourself this is a football forum, you don't ALWAYS have to talk about the vikings. There have been some entertaining games played this weekend, why not actually talk about them instead of needlessly bringing the Vikings into it. If you aren't a fan of the NFL and don't want to discuss it then your purpose for being here is rather puzzling.

[TR21HP]

It's not too puzzling nofisherman. Get back under the bridge you troll.

Forsure, what a bunch of whiners. That was so blown out of proportion, I thought it was pretty sweet lol.

Looks like you are arguing with yourself again because I did talk about them. I said there were a lot of points scored against so-called defensive teams.

Funny that allegedly nobody is defending the Vikings, yet the Viking fans were sure quick to respond to my comment?

LOL.

[RiverFish]

Guru, who is whining?

[FISHINGURU]

Joe Buck made it sound like the end of the world. All the Packers fans after the game were whining about it also.

Not all. I actually like that part of the NFL.

[LMITOUT]

LOL!

[PurpleFloyd]

Has Carl Gerbschmidt come out of his drunken stupor yet?

[LMITOUT]

Lot of points put up today by the four teams.

And more today.

This weekend was the highest scoring Divisional round in NFL History.

[fishersofmen]

Some really fun to watch games this weekend. I don't care for the 13-6 games myself. I particularly enjoyed the 49'ers game for some reason, but the two close games were excellent as well.

With Ponder as our QB...this is the only hope. Draft defense HARD!!

Give Ponder Cris Carter, Randy Moss and Ahmad Rashad and he still is what he is...a game manager...at best.

Clock management and ball control may win a game or two in the play-offs but will eventually get figured out and ultimately, outscored when it counts.

Ponder cannot keep pace with the offenses that are advancing every year...our defense is not good enough to stop them either.

Load up your defense in the mean-time and KEEP drafting QB's....

[nolte]

The Pack got blasted, the injuries finally caught up to them. They had no answer to Kaepernick. We will see how long he lasts once teams start popping him. I know that these option/running QBs have jumped into the league this year but it's not a coincidence that 3 of the 4 left have traditional pocket passers.

I dug in to the recent draft pics for both teams to see how the Niners have gotten their talent. Since the 06 year when Rodgers was drafted, the niners have picked 13th vs the Pack at 21. When you add in additional 1st rounders, it is 16th for Niners and 21st for Pack. The niners also had 2 additional picks. So you've got more players and lower choices. It's fairly easy to see how they have stockpiled talent. We will see how both teams fair once free agency and cap situations start to hit.

[JosMN]

Not sure if Capers will be around next year since he didnt have an answer to the run option, not to mention how many yards they put up. I dont see why they cant try to put an inside LB spy on him, or woodson and commit just to him. If they did try that I missed it. Walden would collapse on it everytime and didnt keep outside contain. O well, chalk it up and look forward to next year.
