Wildcard Weekend Packers vs 49ers

[longtimefan]

Are you kidding me? I've seen a ton of them. Hell, the Seahawks are famous for initiating a shove and then the guy who shoves back is the one who gets caught and flagged.

1st shove = I never seen a flag
retaliated=See flags all the time

Hit a guy up high, sure. Not in the head, not in the knee. Not with the head, not with the helmet. No problem.
Harmless. Looks a lot worse than it was.

This late hit on Rodgers by Urlacher, that's a lot more dangerous.

this is irrelevant. that wasn't a 49ers player.

 

[Packermaniac]

Well the Packers are 0-3 against playoff teams (0-2 with Rodgers), so something's gotta give.

The 0-2 against playoff teams with Rodgers was on the road.

The game is in GB. As I said, I expect a good game and we'll see how it turns out.

If he is trying to show what he is referring to, then it is relevant

people complain about that play because the 49ers got a FREE down that lead to a TD. It was after the play was over, off-setting penalties, should have been 4th down.

 

[PackFANforlife]

And you can try to rationalize that the game still would have played out the exact same way even if they kicked a FG on 4th down, but you never know. It could have been blocked, or a bad snap, ect ect. It changes the play calling, momentum, everything.

So, you are saying that a 2nd place team should host a 1st place team?

Or should fans be allowed to arrange how teams are positioned within the NFL brackets? Should NFC teams be mixed and matched with AFC teams prior to the Super Bowl? Why not just take the top 12 teams in the NFL and have #12 face #1, #11 face #2, etc.? If you wish to ignore the North/South/East/West standings, why would you not also ignore the division between the AFC and NFC? Just pile them all together into one standing...

Also, one could then argue that the win-loss record should be weighted based upon strength of schedule. For example, the Patriots and Broncos have had three divisional opponents who have been relatively "light weight" for the past many years. Should those six games (likely victories) be given as much weight as the NFC East which historically has had several contenders (not this year though)?

Or should the NFL just consider the win-loss record in December? Is that what really defines the "Top 6" teams? I mean, who cares who won or lost back in September? The Texans started 2-0 while the Panthers started 0-2... To use your NBA analogy, everyone knows only the 4th quarter matters, right? Why not just use the last fourth of the season? Packers went 3-1.

Just messing with you. I think we just disagree on this. I like the NFL rules on playoff seeding and you don't. Fair enough.

Last comment: I guess that the reason it is the way it is.... is because the NFL owners want home games to happen across the country. To maximize regional interest and (ultimately) revenue. For example, of the eight scheduled games over the next two weeks, three are on the East coast (north, mid, and southern), three are mid-west (all north), one mountain (Denver), and one on the west coast. That's fairly good coverage of our country (read: $$$).

Turns out the NFL is actually considering my idea of reseeding by record once the playoff teams are decided.

You're entire post overrates 49ers O line by a mile. They have given up 6 less sacks then us.

I think if you read the post carefully you'll see I was referring to their strength in run blocking, not pass protection.

And...

Harbaugh would have went for it on 4th down anyway

You lost by 6

Staley shouldn't have been penalized anyway.

You're complaining that they poorly applied a penalty that shouldn't have existed.

 

[PackFANforlife]

Yes, he should have been penalized. The play had nothing to do with him and he went in there and retaliated hence the flag. The truth of the matter is they got it wrong, and it easily had a direct impact on the outcome of the game.

Regardless.

Your spectacular defense just gave up 400+ yards to Carson Palmer. Let that sink in.

I and the NFL both disagree with you.

Your spectacular defense gave up 400+ yards and 181 yards rushing to the quarterback you're actually playing against. Let that sink in.

 

[PackFANforlife]

It has sunk in. Hence my nightmares.

Your idea? I think this has been discussed on sports radio across the country since the 7-9 Seahawks hosted the Saints

I didn't claim to own the idea. I simply took that position on this forum.

Sorry, but when you said MY, it implies you are the owner

When it suits you, it is one definition, when you are trying to show someone is wrong, you use a different definition

Must be hard to keep them all straight?

As far as bringing it up in this board it is.

I could see it either way. He just worded it poorly. Instead of "my idea" I think he meant "my side."

My side would have made more sense to me

Will this game be the coldest game ever played

 

[longtimefan]

The kickoff temperature in Green Bay was -13 F, with a wind chill of 36 that is the ice bowl

It might be colder sunday...High will be -4 (yes negative 4 for a high) and windchills up to -38

So it may beat the ice bowl temp

Harbaugh played in a cold game when he was qb of the Colts in the 96 playoffs..Was -6

Do u think the packers have a big advantage now

 

[longtimefan]

Do u think the packers have a big advantage now

The ball will be hard to hold...Rodgers has big hands, so it should help...Not sure about kaepernick..

I think to start the game out they SHOULD have an advantage...But as the game goes on, the Niners should start to pull away...
Running will burn their lungs...

They analyzed games in the cold compared to dome teams
