Official 2019 Week 12 Green Bay vs SF Niners Thread

from si.com: https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/news/worlds-best-preview-lazards-success-starts-with-making-his-bed/

excerpt:

"The 49ers are 9-1 and atop the NFC due in large part to a dominating pass defense. They are No. 1 in the NFL against the pass (142.5 yards per game), tied for No. 1 in sacks (39), and No. 2 in yards allowed per passing play (4.86), 20-yard completions allowed (10) and opponent passer rating (72.3).

More impressively is how the 49ers have fared against No. 1 receivers. In 10 games against the opposition’s top receiver, the 49ers have yielded 39 receptions for 425 yards and two touchdowns. On average, that equates to 3.9 catches, 42.5 yards and 0.2 touchdowns. Only one No. 1 receiver had a big day: Cincinnati’s Tyler Boyd in Week 2 caught 10-of-10 targeted passes for 122 yards. The next week, Pittsburgh’s JuJu Smith-Schuster caught 3-of-7 passes for 81 yards – including a 76-yard touchdown.

Ever since, it’s been total domination. The past seven games, the No. 1 receivers have caught 24 passes for 194 yards and one touchdown. That’s an average of 3.4 receptions for 27.7 yards. They haven’t had a single play of longer than 20 yards.
 
Don't quote me on this, but if GB wins Sunday they have the #1 seed temporarily. Garropollo can have bad games but thanks to his D, he survives. A good running game for keeping SF's O off the field while killing clock would help. Garropollo will make boo-boos so GB needs to play some smart football.
Needless to say, a loss knocks us out of #1 seed and depending on Vikings out of 1st in NFC North.

If GB wins, it will be close. 24-20
If they lose 34- 21 SF

This is exactly why GB needs to have the RB's and TE's wired in to the passing game. Especially Aaron Jones. Get that kid the ball in space and let him create problems for SF.

Trying to force the ball downfield will be a formula for failure.

doesn't sound like rodgers will have time to try to force the ball downfield. he's going to need max protection just to throw a five yard pass.
