Wow. Not a good history, but it's unlikely for lightning to strike 3 times in the same place. I'll be watching McCarthy's backslap after the game to make sure he doesn't hurt Harbaugh's feelings.Three years ago, Niners with Crabtree and Alex Smith played at the Packers.
We lost Aaron Kampman & Al Harris forever to torn ACL's, both no contact on the plays, and both on the same drive and within a few minutes of each other. Helped to turn a blowout 1st half into a tight game at the end.
In 1996, also at Lambeau vs the 49ers, we lost Robert Brooks to a torn ACL, again no contact, and he was never the same and he missed the Super Bowl victory.
I hate the Niners.
This is tough 9er's have a good D,but our o-line has more talent I know others will say they have Randy Moss Crabtree,Gore all that is very true but we have one key piece they don't have a Q.B. Smith is not that guy our d-line will have it's hicups but I say pack will win of course I say they will win all the time.
And he'll be even worse this year. He seems to always have a hard time staying healthy.oh and the mighty frank gore? please, he has the same career rushing avg as Ryan Grant.
Yeah, and if instant replay had been available in 1999 the fumble by Rice just before Owen's catch would have ended the game with a Packer victory. Stuff happens.Since I started following the Packers back in 1995, the Packers have beaten the 49ers every single time. Every single time, that is, except once. So to give you some anger and hatred to feel toward the 49ers, how's this:

Despite the fact that the Packers have won all but one meeting with the 49ers, this truly was the NFL's best rivalry from 1995-2001. 5 playoff meetings in those years, as well as a bunch of regular-season matches. I thought the rivalry would be brought back last year in the NFC Championship Game, but we all know what happened before that.
