These are obstacles that make the journey sweeter. Remind me of the 2007 Giants. They lost to GB and Dallas early that season. Then beat Dallas and GB in the playoffs (us in OT!) on their way to taking out an undefeated 16-0 team.Would it not be bittersweet to beat the 49ers and Bucs to make the Super Bowl this year?
Considering they beat us and knocked us out in the NFCCG the last 2 years....
That's just my line of thinking.
SF has not faced a combo of the 2021 version of Adams and Rodgers 1500+ yards. It’s another level of good.watch 24 for sf cover...that should help the worry. Our WR's should be licking their chops.

Having to play them might be bittersweet but there would be nothing bitter about beating them.Would it not be bittersweet to beat the 49ers and Bucs to make the Super Bowl this year?

Exactly. I was going to say I understand the 'sweet', not the 'bitter', but this does it.Having to play them might be bittersweet but there would be nothing bitter about beating them.
I'm pretty sure all you have to do is beat everybody that you play.Bottom line if you want to be the best, you gotta beat the best, and thats what they have here. We will have match up issues with both teams. Kittle/Samuel/Aiyuk and Gronk/Evans/Perriman are both match ups to ponder. Inside pass rush has to be there as neither opposing qb's can move well. That will be the key to success.

thank you for calming my fears of alzheimer's. i could have sworn that happened.Don't forget that the Packers already played the Niners this year in week 3. Adams caught 12 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown in that game.
It did …and it still took a last 30 second no timeout drive and a walk off Crosby field goal to win that game. I would much prefer that we get a lead early and build on it … my blood pressure doesn’t need another nail biter.thank you for calming my fears of alzheimer's. i could have sworn that happened.
I guess it depends on how you define "best" if by best you mean champion then you are right if you beat everybody you play you will be champion. However, we all know of instances where the champion maybe didn't play the best team as someone else knocked them out in an upset earlier on or maybe the champion just had a great day and beat the best.
I know what you are saying though. The Packers have the most championships of any NFL team but do they have the most bests? Being both would be ideal but for what its worth I'd rather be the champion holding the trophy than the best on the outside looking in.
In my opinion that is only true for sports that have best of 7 series. It is not true for a single elimination sport such as football, where a lesser team could beat a better team by luck. That's why football has the saying "Any given Sunday".In my opinion the team winning the championship is the best one as well. Another team losing in the playoffs doesn't have any right to claim otherwise.
I agree. How many times have we said "the better team did not win today". Like I said though, I rather be the wining team than the better team if I had to make that choice.In my opinion that is only true for sports that have best of 7 series.

While I most definitely agree with you and have some concerns, I keep having to remind myself that the Packers are also a much better team than the version that traveled to the West coast in week 3 of this season as well.The 49ers scare me. They are a much better team than the version that we played earlier this season...just as the Chiefs are playing MUCH better than when we played them. I would rather that we were playing the Cowboys in the Divisional Round.
I would like to play the Rams in the title game. Davante can school Jalen Ramsey again, our OL can frustrate Aaron Donald into another one of his tantrums, and we can slap around Stafford one more time.
thanks for that forensic analysis.I'm pretty sure all you have to do is beat everybody that you play.
