I'm saying Josh Jacobs outplayed everyone today.

I'm developing a man crush on Jacobs too. Might buy a jersey - nah... that would be weird.

Feels like this needs some Howard Dean at the end.

If I could have gave that love and a Hahaha, I definitely would have.

The Niners came into Lambeau today with a streak of 44 consecutive games without having given up 100 yards rushing, but that's over now.

If only they'd gone for the FG on the final drive instead of going for 4th

I was disappointed. I guess Matt didn't want to do that to his buddy.

Good God man, this isn't Detroit. Hate to say it but that team needs unfortunate things to happen to them. The sportsmanship poohbahs are disgruntled.

Imo that’s part of this team’s problem. Too soft in many ways. Buddy or not, I’d score every damn point possible. Not like Shanahan ever pulled back.

Oh, I agree with both of you. I think he owed that 40-burger to the fans, and to the team. I can guess why he did it, but the team's rivalry with the Niners goes back long before he got here, and there's more payback owed than just simply whomping them. We should have kicked them while they were down.

Key to the game is stopping Christian McCaffrey and the running game... that's it, if they can accomplish that, it forces Allen into passing situations, which will mean at least 2 turnovers. Go Pack Go!!

In the first half the 9ers TOP was mimimal.

We’ve got our Kicker. That 51 yarder was good from 56-58 area.

If Narv is still around we just punt.

In the first half the 9ers TOP was mimimal.

1 second short of exactly 20-10 - it was 20:01-9:59. We still dominated the 2nd half, but by a tiny margin - 16:42-13:16.

If Brock Purdey had been healthy today, it would have been a very different story. I'm not saying we wouldn't have still won, but we would probably have had to work harder for it. It's unlikely he'd have allowed us to completely dominate TOP for the entire first half of the game, and we might not have had that 10-point lead going into halftime.

It had the length for 56-58, but it was barely inside the right upright. Cleared it by no more than a yard, so I don't know.

But at the same time, it diod look as though it may have been hooking to the left when it went through, so I guess it's just as possible that if he'd kicked it from 5-7 yards farther out, it may have cleared with a little more room to spare.

But that said - I agree. We have a reliable kicking game for the first time in 2 seasons. 7 for 8, 87.5%. We are very fortunate to have grabbed him up when we did.

Definitely.
