commentary...

people may believe they may have a blueprint on how to beat the Packers:stop the run,be physical,and put pressure on quarterback Aaron Rodgers... as for the first part,of that equation(please listen):the Packers simply stopped trying to run,and in that case,beat themselves... the other parts of that equation:simply the the San Francisco 49ers beat the Packers,but honestly,when you can not convert,on third,and fourth down,that helps your opponent,psychologically,and gives them confidence... that was the case with the Packers for three plus quarters,and by the time that the offense got started,it was game over... it does not hurt to have a 63 yard field goal bounce over the crossbar at the end of the first half,if you were the 49ers,just like the Giants executed a "Hail Mary" at the end of the divisional game,in last year's playoffs... in the case of the Giants' game,it was poor execution,and in the case of the 49ers' game,it was simply bad luck,and a bad bounce(for the Packers),and a good bounce(for the 49ers)... the one major silver lining in the game for the Packers was the defensive line,who collected four sacks,on Alex Smith(Clay Matthews had 2 1/2 sacks,himself)... the Packers are not that bad,and yet the 49ers are that good... however,remember one thing,people,the Giants lost to the Packers,38-35,in New York,last season,and still used the game film,and good luck,to thump the Packers,37-20,in the divisional playoff game... mark my words:if the Packers do play the 49ers,let us say in San Francisco,in the playoffs,the tutorial of this game will come in handy,and it is very difficult to beat a team,let alone a good team twice,in a season,if the two teams do play again,and the Packers are not that bad... do not let your overconfidence,and the memory of this game make you believe that your team is superior... at this time,that may be true,but in the playoffs,this game will be a distant memory,to most of the NFL,but to both teams it will be fresh in their minds,and yet:can the 49ers beat the Packers,again in the playoffs??? simply said,the 49ers will try to beat the Packers,again,and the Packers will make adjustments to the game plan,and will have a major chip on their shoulders,to simply prove a point... the other major factor in the rematch would be team injuries,and the play of both quarterbacks(Alex Smith,and Aaron Rodgers)... Smith played a very good game,and Rodgers was not too sharp in the game... do not think that Rodgers will have another bad game,against the 49ers... if he does,the 49ers will be the better team,this season...
