[QUOTE="Marvin49, post: 482917, member: 7068"] Greetings Packer fans. No smack talk here. I enjoy having good football conversations with fans of opposing teams. I'm not going to break down the entire game as you Packer fans clearly know your team much better than I do. This is just a post about the team you face saturday. I'll try to be biased free...but I am a Niner fan so it's not possible to be completely biased free. 1) Kaepernick/Smith: Don't let their similar stats fool you.

If any of you are curious about him, below is a highlight reel. [media=youtube]7BAwp0zO76E[/media] IMO Rodgers is the best QB in the NFL and it ain't close.

I've never seen a guy benefit more from making the wrong decision. ;-) 2) Defense: This also isn't the same defense the Packers faced in the first game of the season...and I mean that in the Packers favor.
