NFC Conference Championship: Packers @ 49ers Sunday, Jan 19th, 5:40PM

Looks like Aaron said the heck with his discount.

 

I thought the "Aaron never plays it safe" commercial (where he doesn't speed and stops at a yellow) seemed a little appropriate for this year.... Bring back the discount double-check!

That was just a downright silly 2 pt attempt. An XP makes it a 20 point game which 3 miracle hypothetical TDs and 3 XPs wins it. It's too late to chase field goal possibilities. I'm all about being unconventional but that was just stupid.

[stoutdude04]

Why go for two?

 

Either down 21 or 19.

Silly it may be but maybe make the throw and it wouldn’t matter.

Then to follow it up with the most pathetic looking onside attempt in history. Ugh.

[CheezWizHed]

Why go for two?

 

Probably trying to get as many points as possible at this point.

[MrTPlush]

Pettine is toast, you just don’t survive this type of showing.

 

This is Green Bay. Dom Capers survived these types of showings for like 7 years.

 

I’d find it relevant if the HC or GM was the same...different times though.

I mean, the math just didn't even make any sense on it. I know it won't happen, but if we were to rally and score 3 TDs in the final quarter here and lose in OT, MLF will be absolutely crucified for that decision.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

The only silver lining is that if we're gonna lose, I'd rather do this than overtime. This is painless.

It does. At this point in the game down 19 is 8+8 plus a FG. Time is not on your side, so just needing a FG is a big difference. It's a silly dream, but that's why the chart probably said 2pt.

But the "math" always assume the offense doesn't score anymore. Even with missing the 2pt, they were 21 pts behind. So not any "harm" to go either.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Not just cause it's pointlessly happening now, but yeah this delay of game crap is gonna get changed in the offseason. Just stop the clock by rule after every delay penalty.

That's my feeling too. 19 pts plus three is 22. 21pts plus three is 24. May just kick the XP and wait til you actually may need that 2pt. Somewhere there's probably gamblers on O/U. What was that before the game. 47 total now ought to be pretty close

[adambr2]

Why is a handoff to Jamaal Williams even remotely considered at this point in the game?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wow, what a deep shot. Where has that been the last couple months?

[wildcat83]

Stop trying to run. We’re way past that point.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

It made sense with the game where it is. Two touchdowns and a FG. You can't do that down 20. With the time left and the miracle you need the (albeit very low) percentages are probably going for 2 there.

[nodakfan17]

It’s crazy to think Jimmy G is 4 of 6 for 48 yards and the 49ers have scored 34 points.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

And Rodgers is 28/34 for 300 yards and the Packers are down 20.

[stoutdude04]

Amazing throw. Wow.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Sure .... NOW we use the TEs LOL

Still don't agree at all. You're not playing for FGs now at all much less when you have to get 3 two pointers on top of it. That's just not realistic. How big is that 1 point looking right now at 34-20 instead of 34-21?

[CheezWizHed]

Whoa...Jordy Nelson flashback with 87 there. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Sternberger next year. I have a good feeling...

[RollieTime]

There’s a prime Aaron Rodgers throw! Big chunk plays and taking shots. That’s what we always used to do multiple times per game back multiple years ago even without getting the defense to jump offsides for a free play. Go back to doing that a few times each game. Helps open everything else up.

[pacopete4]

Those first half turnovers playing large.
