Packers @ 49ers, NFC Divisional Round Game Thread

Any chance we look at Collins? Is there any chance his neck could get better or is he always going to be a major risk to re-injure it?

He was advised against playing again and the Packers decided they wouldn't risk it. As far as I know he's done.

Plus, he'd rather spend time with his family instead of risking anything.

Honestly, I think if we went OL in the first three rounds and they were all pretty good players, we'd be a far better team next year. I'm tired of having an occasionally passable line.

Too bad every OL we draft ends up injured.

That is too bad.

I would have deff liked the Packers chances a bit more if this game was at Lambeau,but we had to play in San Fran because we made Christian Ponder look like an all pro QB so we didn't deserve to play this game at home.

I hear u. My counter argument would be that the pats made it to the Super Bowl last year and were a Wes Welker pass away from winning it with a pretty sh*tty defense. If things line up right u always have a shot at winning a game. Yes our D sucked week 17 and this week but if we had gotten the bye and the niners at home and that changed the outcome we were good enough to win the owl. And the fact is we would've had that bye with better refs against the Seahawks no matter how bad our d was against the Vikings.

That muffed punt by Ross changed the game. Your up seven and about to get the ball back to possibly make it a two possession game.

Nick with no neck is better than McMillian and Jennings.

I just can't believe there is anyone out there that actually thinks this game could have turned out any differently. One of the problems is that the Packers are essentially a dome team that plays on grass in the worst elements in the league. But they could have played this game at Lambeau and had an identical result. The D wasn't even close to stopping the Niners. I mean they were 2 defenders short on a lot of those plays.

The Pats beat a laughable Broncos team that started a punt blocker at QB and then lost to Bal at home. Only Evans dropped the ball and NE squeezed through. It's just not comparable to the far more competitive NFC.
