NFL GDT: 2023 NFC Divisional Round: (1) San Francisco 49ers vs (7) Green Bay Packers

[southsideIrish]

Going for it on 4th

Carlson missing a gimmie.

The difference between victory and defeat.

And the NFC better sigh in pain...because the Packers are not just going away.

Meh - there's lots of good teams in the NFC and others will get better. GB is one of many and they had a lot of things go right for them this year.

Favre threw away a lot of playoff games trying to making stupid passes. Rodgers, was a flake, but would still have won multiple championships with real coach.

if it wasn’t shitty playcalling, it was poor defense. 44 or more 3 times, including one where they scored 45 themselves.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Honestly that is one of the worst INT"s you will ever see in big moment

It looks worse on the replay. He can't possibly have seen anything worth trying and he could have run the ball.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

The Packers were the seven seed playing on the road and lost by three. That’s not a choke job.

Pregame/playoff Expectations are irrelevant

They outplayed them whole game, had it in their grasps.

They blew it toward the end

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Which is ultimately why this bad interception didn’t lose the game. Asking them to go 70+ yards in this weather in a minute against this defense had low low odds even if Love throws it away.

If they did call TO, Kyle could have reminded everyone to not score to soon. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Butt clencher, but glad the 49ers got it done.

How you lose matters

You do know Love was 2nd in the league with TDs only behind the embarassed Dak Prescott, with a much more understated receiving corps?

Feces usually rises to the top.

 

[HisIceness]

Greenlaw with the interception! I was yelling at him to get down once he picked it off.

Yeah I thought Marlon McCree 2.0 was about to take place.

 

[hatterson]

Right here, Love should be pointing at Jones to go upfield for a checkdown and run. There was basically no one on that side of the field for 20 yards. Instead he tried to hit the home run and be the hero.

 

[kingsholygrail]

reminded me of favre's INT against the saints in 09. same kind of throw too

Favre threw a lot of those. It was part of his package. He took a ton of risks.

 

[Reality Check]

If San Francisco goes onto the Super Bowl, much less wins it, feel free to send a thank you card to Green Bay's kicker. The same kicker who has been unreliable all year.

This game should have gone into OT.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Horrible game by the Niners, they better play much better next weekend. Also hopefully Deebo is able to go next weekend, our offense looks way different without him.

I mean Rodgers did his fair share of throwing games away as well.

Favre has a few bad coaches as well

And they lost by three. So what.

Eh, kicking in the rain is always a crap shoot.

 

[SimpleJack]

Jordan Love with an epic choke job. I don’t wanna hear about how great this guy is anymore. That was embarrassing. His first taste of adversity and he folds emphatically. Cost GB the game, cuz their defense put them in position to win. Love was horrible when it mattered most. GB needs to think twice before they overpay for someone who can’t perform in the clutch.

 

[hatterson]

There's zero chance that they go down early just to run the clock down if you have a walk in. If you're down 3 maybe you do it with the idea that if push comes to shove you'll kick a FG at the end and go to OT. But you absolutely cannot give up a go ahead TD when down 4 just to burn some clock off.

 

[southsideIrish]

You do know Love was 2nd in the league with TDs only behind the embarassed Dak Prescott, with a much more understated receiving corps?

That's great - but he just proved he still has a long way to go and that defense still needs an awful lot of work before we anoint GB as another unstoppable juggernaut like the media's been doing all week.

 

[Troy McClure]

I mean Rodgers did his fair share of throwing games away as well.

Favre has a few bad coaches as well

Rodgers himself had 18 turnovers in 22 playoff games. We all remember his amazing moments, but he wasn’t perfect.

 

[RedRocking]

This will either be something Love learns from, or he is just an unreliable guy in big moments.

I would wager the former, but you never know. He had a great year, no need to pile on.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

We have now entered the ''death zone'' for the Shanahan 49ers. Trailing by 7+ going into the 4th...

Kiss of death

Imagine overreacting this much to one game.

Rodgers didn't throw many games away that I remember. Both had good offensive lines. Rodgers never had a receiving corps as good as the current one.
The defense was crap Rodgers entire tenure and most of it Dumb Crapper ran the defense (a complete idiot).
