Packers and 49ers, What To Expect?

Can we look in the old crystal ball and see what Sunday will look like when the Packers take the field against the 49ers?

1 - It will be cold!  How cold?  As of Friday here is the weather report……..

Yes, that is not a misprint!  High of -4 degrees!  And it is a 4:30 game!  The COLD weather will change this game!  Dropped balls, kicking & punting issues, tackling, and the field conditions.  Packers live here, practice here every week - THIS IS A PACKER PLUS!

Take a look at the NFL website and a list of the Top Ten NFL coldest days?
The Packer Buddies were at #5 - the Packer-Giant Playoff Game - January 20, 2008!  Brett Favre's last game a s a Packer!  We were there to see the last pass, a long out pattern, to the right side of the field, intercepted by the Giants!  STILL A BAD MEMORY!

2 - Packer Fans!  It became a sell out late Friday.  Why did it take so long?  That is the question for another blog entry!  The Packer Fans will support the team.  Get Loud!  Lambeau Leaps!  And of course my favorite chant - "GO PACK GO"!  THIS IS A PACKER PLUS!

3 - Packer Offense vs. 49er Defense!  I see 30-31 points needed to win!  The 49er defense is very physical!  We must use that against them!  Play Action passes will be the key!  Lacy & Starks and a Rogers pass!  Pound & fake the run!  Quarless is a key over the middle!  NO TURNOVERS!!!  Rogers vs. Kaepernick? THIS IS A PACKER PLUS!

4 - Packer Defense vs. 49er Offense!  HERE WE GO!  Three keys!  Kaepernick - Kaepernick -Kaepernick!  Contain him, pressure him with corner, safety, & linebacker blitz!  Take away wide receiver Boldin, he killed us last time!  Take away the 49er run game - Frank Gore! And the 3rd option, the tight end Davis!  The Packer defense MUST be unpredictable!!  Gamble!  We have nothing to lose!!!  ATACK!!!
THIS IS A 49er PLUS!

5 - Special Teams!!  Another key!  A dead ball, cold ball, frozen ball will not travel well!  COVER!  TACKLE!  I repeat!  COVER!  TACKLE!  NO TURNOVERS!  The special teams must step up & contribute in a positive way!  I feel good about Hyde!  I feel good about Masthay.  I feel good about Crosby!
