[QUOTE="Packerlifer, post: 534866, member: 1242"] After the playoff loss to 'Frisco last January Charles Woodson said the Packers had to get bigger, stronger and faster to beat that team. Frankly, I don't think the Pack has closed that gap, as Woodson so well diagnosed it. The defense that gave up over 300 rushing yards, almost 600 total and had a quarterback run over it for 181 was probably better than the one that will be taking to the field this Sunday. Clay Matthews and Casey Hayward played in last year's game and both will be absent from this one as well as Johnny Jolly, a key to a better run defense this season. The Niners league best o-line will be blowing the Packers defensive front backwards and tearing open big running holes most of the day. And look for the Niners to bring back the read option to their offense. Kaepernick may not set a qb rushing record again but he'll do enough with it to make a difference. Eddie Lacy running on a bad ankle leaves the Packers' rushing game in question. The Pack's o-line will probably not be up to beating one of the league's toughest defensive front sevens. And if the ground game is taken away they'll be free to rush Aaron Rodgers hard. The Packers have shown an ability to make plays and put points on the board against this club. They've scored 28 in the season opener, 31 in last year's playoff and 22 in the 2012 opener. But they've also turned the ball over multiple times in these games and have had a tendency for uncharacteristic interceptions and fumbles in their playoff losses in 2009,'11 and '12. The two interceptions at the beginning of the Chicago game may augur a portent of postseason things to come. Home field hasn't been much of an advantage for the Pack this year or in recent playoff history. They've lost 4 of their last 6 postseason at Lambeau and most haven't been close. San Fran. is probably a team better built to play a game outdoors in winter conditions as of now than are the Packers. They have an excellent defense and a strong rushing game working behind a superlative line. With all that working they can hit for big downfield plays passing as well. And may I also add they have 8 Pro Bowl selections and 6 Alternates on their roster. The Packers have just one alternate possibility. Unless the cold weather affects them more than we expect and the Packers come up with their best game of the year it's probable that the Pack will be a quick exit from this season's playoffs.
