Keys To Victory: Niners VS packers

The Niners travel to green bay wisconsin to play the green bay packers on Monday Night Football at lambeau field. Most of the Football I remember from my childhood was in the mid to late 90’s. So a lot of my childhood was spent hating the packers. I remember the cheese grader hats that were big at the time. Just like many Faithful’s my age, my first real big playoff moment was The Catch 2 (obviously didn’t have as much impact as The Catch but is still a big moment in Niners history). And who could forget Kap’s coming out party against the packers at Candlestick in 2012. Niners packers may not have the same ring to it as Niners cry girls, but for a brief time in the mid to late 90’s and for a few years this decade it was a big time rivalry in the NFL. The packers lead the All-Time series 35-30-1 including 2-1 on MNF, but the Niners have the most wins by any franchise on MNF (48) and are 9-0 in their past 9 MNF games dating back to 2010. Both teams are looking to bounce back from tough division losses in Week 5.

 

1. Make rodgers Move In The Pocket

It’s no secret that arron rodgers has a bum knee that has been injured since Week 1 (although everyone I have talked to say he looks the same). rodgers is an elite Hall Of Fame QB if we let him sit back in the pocket and have all day to throw he’ll tear us a part. We must hit him early and hit him often if we are going to have a chance to pull off this upset.

 

2. Shorten The Game

The packers are ranked in the 10^th in both Passing Offence and Total Offense and are ranked 8th in Time Of Possession but are tied for 18^th in scoring Offence. Don’t let that 18^th in scoring fool you the packers can put up point in a hurry. The Niners Offense must run the ball to keep the clock moving, get our Defense fresh and to keep rodgers and the packers offense on the sideline.

 

3. Keep C.J. Upright

The packers come into Monday night’s game with 16 sack on the year good enough to be tied for 5^th in the NFL. Keeping C.J. upright is on more than just the O-line. The receivers must be able to get open, the backs must be able to pick up the blitz and C.J. must be able to not only see it coming but be able to get the pass off quickly.

 

4. Don’t Beat Yourself

It seems like every week this is a key or at least has to be brought up. Last week against arizona there was no reason we should have not won that game. 5 turnovers cost us the game and even with all the turnovers and mistakes it was only an 8 pint game for most of the game. If we repeat that again this week the game will be over very fast and will not be anywhere close to an 8 point game.

 

I have a feeling that the “slap in the face” the Niners got this week by being flexed out of Sunday Night Football next week will fire us up. I see us coming out and taking a big shot at green bay to show them we’re not scared of shit. Should be a great game either way. I will be at Blue Chips in Downtown San Jose with the rest (or at least the ones who aren’t going to be at the game) of the 408 EMPIRE please feel free to stop by and say what’s up. GO NINERS!!!!!
