Didn't watch any football today, apparently these are the teams that are left -
New England
Denver
Baltimore
Houston
Green Bay
San Francisco
Seattle
Atlanta
I may be incorrect but I believe 0 road teams have won so far in the play-offs.

Oh right so I guess home teams are 3-1 so far in the play-offs, one could definitely argue if the Redskins had been healthier they probably would've beaten the Seahawks though.

That last part is correct.

No running game didn't stop them from playing well in their other 16 games, and winning 13 of them.

u're right......26-3 is much better than 38-10.

sorry to break it to you.....Rodgers and possibly Ryan are the only 2 NFC qb's that have a chance of leading their respective offenses to beating Brady or Manning in the Super Bowl.

if RG3 was healthy they would've def. won that game!!

Updated thread title to Divisional Round. Can't wait!

I agree with you even when I'm a 49ers fan.

I'm afraid of Rodgers and company. If our Justin Smith is gimpy and not 100% next Saturday, then we are in trouble. It doesn't matter if Kaep or Smith is QB for the game. They are not Peyton Manning or Rogers himself LOL. I don't care if 49ers won their earlier meeting this year with Alex Smith.. We lost 3 other meetings with Green Bay under QB Smith. So, it means nothing.

The only way we win is DEFENSE. If they show up and bang up Rodgers for four quarters, then we win with either QB. Our pass defense is mediocre so we really need Justin Smith and Aldon Smith to pressure Rodgers. Otherwise, Rodgers is going to pick apart the 49ers defense. And losing WR Manningham is going to hurt us. We need him.

I see that the 49ers is a -3 point spread. Home field gets automatic -3 point so basically the odd makers are predicting an even match between both teams.

For some reason, I picture Rodgers coming back in the 4th quarter to beat us.

Damn, I hope the 49ers defense is going to be at their best next Saturday.

I can't wait...looking forward to next Saturday. May the best team win

u're all high and mighty on the 9ers.....but it's going to be closer than u think!!

neither Kapernick or Smith are Super Bowl caliber QB's......and they will be your downfall if they make it that far!!!

and keep in mind the kind of QB Rodgers is when the conditions are favorable!!!

okay, brah, whatever you say Bro Montana.

Wait until the beast is unleashed upon you. Keep doubting us, it'll make it even better when we win.

We did the impossible in that game against the Saints. Where we came back twice and scored that winning TD within the last so many seconds of the game. Look for Davis and Crabtree. Not to mention Gore and Hunter. And the wildcard Moss.

Early lines:

Atlanta -2 (2.5 at some places)
San Francisco -3
Denver -9
New England -9.5

Aldon Smith is the only guy that i'm worried about!!! he could tear either of our tackles apart!!!

ask Matt Ryan how confident he was going into the Divisional game 2 years ago after he beat the Packers earlier in the season!!!

Rodgers put on a clinic in that game!!! if the conditions are good....he could just as easily do it again!!!

That was some bad coaching leaving RG3 in the entire game. He could barely walk for 3 quarters. At least they would have had a chance with a healthy qb in Cousins.

Got alot more to worry about besides Aldon Smith. Justin Smith if he's healthy along with Navarro Bowman. there's alot more guys you're not paying attention too that will get you in the end.

Just say what you want, and I guess were just have to see come Game day!

I'm sure you remember this though.

The Catch II: Steve Young to Terrell Owens - YouTube

And also what happen last year too.

The Catch 3 - Alex Smith to Vernon Davis - YouTube

Just don't get to full of yourself and think it's gonna be a cake walk.

I'm not saying it's gonna be a easy thing you're saying. I'm just saying don't be so quickly to brush them off. But I expect it to be a good game.

But if the Packers D should be worried about one guy, it's this one.

And perhaps Crabtree.

Who's actually the backup for the Packers, do you know?

i never said it was gonna be easy.....i never even said we were going to win. i just said it's not a guarantee that the 9ers are going to win just b/c they won the 1st game of the season.

these are 2 completely different teams from the start of the season.

backup to who?? Rodgers?? Graham Harrell.

Okay. I guess every football fan is just passionate about their team. But you said the only two NFL caliber teams to go to the Superbowl will be the Packers or Falcons. Meaning that the Packers will win cause they have the superior QB. Or am I just looking into stuff the wrong way.

I just wanna see them in the SB or possibly win it. Last time they were there was almost 20 years ago. and be nice for them to return to the status team they were in the 80s and 90s. After being so and so the last how many years now.

Plus I know this is gonna sound silly. But I would see it as some kind of sign to finally up and move. Which is something I've been talking about for the last couple years. And if they would win that motivate me knowing that if they can do that. Then I can also do that too. I know it sounds silly.
