commentary...

it is going to be one of the coldest games in NFL history,Sunday... the 49ers are favored,and to tell you the absolute truth,i respect 49ers' quarterback Colin Kaepernick much more than last year,as a starting quarterback,in the NFL... his overall numbers may not be as gaudy as last year,but he has been a steady influence on the 49ers,as they have won six games in a row,to end the regular season... i have two questions for the 49ers:are they the team who lost the Seattle Seahawks,29-3,in which they looked very beatable,and not too physical,or they are the football team who has won six games in a row,but still,at times,look like a team who makes mistakes,and still win the game... in the last game against the Packers,Frank Gore ran for only forty four yards,but Kaepernick threw for over 300+ yards,and Anquan Boldin had over 200 receiving yards... the 49ers are as healthy as they have been all season,and have a punishing run defense,but Aaron Rodgers torched them,for over 300+ passing yards,but Eddie Lacy had only forty one rushing yards,that game,in a 34-28 49ers' win,at Candlestick Park,that actually was closer than the final score was,because the 49ers ran out the clock out on a game winning drive,basically giving the Packers only seconds to respond with a drive... both Gore and Lacy ran for over 1,000 yards this season... to those pundits,who believe the 49ers are just going to run over the Packers like last year's playoffs,gaining 579 total offensive yards,forget that game,period... last year's playoff game was in balmy San Francisco,and in perfect game conditions for the team,but folks,this is where the frigid,almost unbearably cold weather comes in focus... the 49ers may be the better team,on paper,but conditions like,at the "Frozen Tundra" do not happen too often,and if the game plays out like opening week,fine,but honestly,there may be unknown mistakes awaiting both teams,and whoever handles the arctic weather the best,most likely,will win the tightly fought,and close game...
