2021 NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round Thread

Chardee MacDennis

we needed that

adrian522

Early days yet.

Chardee MacDennis

ah here

Chardee MacDennis

wow, that looked like a turnover to me

adrian522

Right side of the 49ers offensive line continues to be a problem in pass protection. Gave up a sack there to a 3 man rush.

adrian522

Packers first 3rd down, less than 2 mins left in the first quarter.

adrian522

Kittle and Aiyuk with bad drops already, 49ers getting nothing in the run game. Jimmy playing well but hard to overcome these drops.

adrian522

Compton gives up another sack.

Chardee MacDennis

Have the 49ers won a first down yet? Pretty grim stuff so far.

adrian522

I think they need to bench Compton. 49ers have 4 3 and outs on offense and 3 sacks on 3rd down, they have lost yards overall so far.

adrian522

49ers defense have actually been pretty great since the first drive.

Chardee MacDennis

Need to stop running Deebo up the middle.

Chardee MacDennis

Compton again.

Chardee MacDennis

🤷‍♂️

Chardee MacDennis

7-0 at half time is fantastic considering how the niners have played.

Yeah, but at least the 49ers are in it. Didn't look great early on.

adrian522

The offense has been anemic though, the kittle drop was huge. Then Jimmy with a huge mistake. 3 points there would have been fine and settled everyone down.

Instead they turn it over and are really lucky not to give up more points. Also Shannahan taking a timeout there was stupid too.

They need to come out and put a drive together here. Even though Jimmy has been fine, Trey Lance may give them a bit of spark which seems to be needed right now.

Green bay should be up at least 3 scores based on the first half.

Chardee MacDennis

jesus, such a good start and then two awful penalties

Foxtrol

49ers killing themselves, if they can stop they have a chance

adrian522

Defense is playing absolutely lights out since the first drive. Offense has too many self inflicted issues.

Chardee MacDennis

Niners offense has been worse than Baldys internet connection

adrian522

Thats an awful playcall on 4th down, Kyle hasn't called a good game at all.

Chardee MacDennis

I'll take it

Chardee MacDennis

Can Jimmy G get the ball into FG range? I feel like my hopes are about to be expertly dashed.

Chardee MacDennis

Holy sheet

el Fenomeno

Delighted for Rodgers. Very unlikeable person.

Both #1 seeds out in their first game.

MileHighGuy

Wow, what a game. Old school, playoff football.

Congrats to the 49ers and their fans.

Oat23

Robbie Gould breaking Packer hearts. You love to see it. 😄

For those keeping track

NFC Championships won:

Aaron Rodgers - 1

Rex Grossman - 1

Ol' Donie

Well that was perfectly delightful.

Wowzers.

Me and my Jimmy G shirt feel like it's okay!

Oh, and to top off the special teams meltdown, the Packers had only 10 men on the field for the game-winning FG.

adrian522

I have to say I didn't see a way back for SF after that awful playcall on 4th and 1.

Delighted with the result, especially with the way a lot of people seemed to be writing off the 49ers in this game.

So now we get either Rams v 49ers part 3 or Brady vs Jimmy.

Can't wait.

Foxtrol

49ers played horrible and still made it through on the road in GB.

49ers might lose but RIP if they eventually play a good game against anyone

SlickRic

I'm the biggest Rodgers fan, but at this stage, the numbers are undeniable.

You can't score 10 points in a home playoff game as MVP. You just can't.

threeball

Well that's me 0/2 this weekend. Can't believe the packers couldn't get anything going after they carved them up on the first drive.

My prediction of a 0/4 weekend looking more likely by the second considering today's games were the hardest to call in my eyes.

Itssoeasy

Not a great second game but the niners were ahead when it matter and that’s actually all that matters. There’s no style points.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Career loss for Rodgers. Another horrendous end to his, and the Packers', season. Two years in a row the #1 seed and only 1 victory to show for it.

paulie21

Only caught the game this morning. 49ers defence and special teams had a fantastic game. Rodgers 0-4 against them in the playoffs

rebelyell99

Very entertaining stuff last night ,please god the rams and bills can get it done tonight ,a superbowl without the chiefs or tom Brady would be great .

35m cap hit, he's staying.

Very poor performance on offense, passing game hasn't been good all season and Henry couldn't rescue them.

Career loss is right.

This was the season that he was supposed to prove he's on the Mount Rushmore of QBs. I believed he'd do it, as did many. But this is devastating for his legacy.

He has no excuse.

Packers are getting a padded record by virtue of playing in an extremely weak division. The Bears, Lions and to a lesser extent the Vikings are all gimmes. That's 6 games a season that are virtual guaranteed wins. None of them are pushing for playoff births and the Bears and Lions are contenders for worst team in the entire competition. They end up needing only a handful of other wins to clinch a playoff berth as a result.

You could have said the same about the Pats for many, many years (and it would have been even more accurate). Things diverge pretty massively once the playoffs kick in though. GB don't just tend to lose in the playoffs, they do so in embarrassing fashion frequently.

paulie21

Just seen picture online with only 10 men on the field by the Packers for the winning FG. If that's correct that's really poor coaching especially after a timeout

The difference is the Pats went out and did the business in the playoffs and the Packers just don't. They're in the playoffs year after year and end up getting knocked out pretty quickly. The reality is they've only won one one divisional championship since Rodgers arrived on the scene. Its not a great record considering the number of times they've been active at the business end of the season.

Man Vs ManUre

Damn it I really wanted to see Rogers vs Brady in the cold of Lambeau field fighting it out for a tkt to Super Bowl. Hate u 49ers horrible defensive team.

eagle eye

I thought the standard of football was pretty poor last night on offense for all four teams. Joe Burrow experienced what Andy Dalton did for many years with poor pass protection. Burrow was the star offensive player on the night despite all the sacks he took.

The Bears and the Lions would've given it a great go against the Packers last night.

The Titans loss was all on Tannehill. He was back to his Miami best which was horrific.

I think that 49ers offense would be a nightmare for any QB, poor pass protection and extremely run-centric. The likes of Lamar would do well there I'd imagine but it's not an offense for a pocket passer imo.

Very tough matchup for the Bucs tonight but it all depends on which Stafford turns up I think. This will be a real test for the Bucs offensive line which is probably the best line in the league. They are facing a three time DPOY and another DPOY who is now fully healthy.

I think the Chiefs experience might just be the difference in the other game. Have to say though that the sudden improvement in Devin Singletary has made a huge difference to the Bills offense.

Well you couldn't actually say the same about the Pats because, iirc, their win record against non-AFC East teams was better. They were just a very dominant team. Dunno what the Packers record under Rodgers is like vs NFCN compared to non NFCN teams.

Probably a bit off-topic for this thread but I read over on twitter that the Packers will be about $50mill over the cap for next season as is. I think I also saw that if Rodgers, Adams, Bakhtiari and possibly another player leaves then they'll only free up only $6mill in cap space. Rodgers said after the game last night that he doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild, so he has almost certainly played his last game for Green Bay.

Looking at the 4th down again, it very much looks like Mitchell made a complete mess of it rather than the play being bad. It looks like it was blocked for him to cut outside and there was potential for a big gain.
