6:40 Justin and Aldon Smith jump offside. First and 10 at the SF 21.

6:45 The 49ers’ offense is much faster than the Packers’ defense – that’s obvious.

6:49 Kaepernick throws a bullet to Walker and he makes a diving catch on the right sideline. They’re reviewing the play to see if he was in bounds. It looks like his right hand lands out of bounds.

Grant, who will play the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game?
@ NE when they win tomorrow!
why aren’t we running the ball? and enough of this stupid pistol formation.
It’s crazy how many people on this board want the niners to fail. Almost gleefull when there is something against the niners. It’s lame
I dont! I wont be the same for a week!
Really? I’m not picking that up at all. Frustration, sure, at blown plays. But glee? Who’s gleeful here?
Crabtree looks pumped up tonight.
Looks like Crabtree is ready to make amends for last year’s playoff performance.
Freaking Delanie needs a good beat down. Catch the freaking ball!
a false start by Vernon at home? C’mon man…

Yes!

Me too!
Who says Crabtree ain’t a number one wideout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ballin!!!
Crabtree is the man
Who can make a play? Crabtree can!
That play was a thing of beauty.
They are right about Kap….. he really does respond in big games.
And after he makes mistakes as well. Hopefully he can keep it clean from here on out.
At Pedro’s by the ball park.
This sh*t bout to get real!!! A little something for everybody!
That was Cox on Cobb crime.
Love it!
That was awesome! Cobb just went ass over tea kettle.
Nice tackle Cox!
A turnover now what be great, if not then a three and out.
Game I expectecd . . . !
Another turnover right here would work for me!
You ask, you shall receive.
So when we run a Slant we kill them with it, why not more on 3rd down?
Alex will be Rodgers backup next year.
Cowboy with the stuff!
Defense needs to work it.
Bad call!
Bullsh-t
Think we are gettings under Rodgers skin
Agree. Looking like season opener.
huge play
TB is the man. I called that!
Brown is our best CB than Culliver.
INT!!!!! Rodgers is pressing!
T. Brown my guy. The best CB on the team
Beautiful!
Great return after the pick.
Great call by Fangio. confused the hell outta Rogers.
That works for me!
Let’s go Tarrel!!! If they’re gonna make me mistakes we need to Capitalize!!
Yup big play
Aaron Rodgers has a 17.9 passer rating right now.
Really if you look at this game- the niners are dominating- except for that mistake by Kaep. And that lucky catch by the packers. They are getting beat everywhere else
That time of possession graphic was unreal.
I would like to see us run a bit more.
Ginn has a little hop in his giddyup!
Lets gut these guys with some runs
Nice run James
LMJ looking like a beast!
Thats my rb!
Like that
Wow Crabtree C’MON MAN!
Touch, Kaep.
Akers uh-oh territory…
A drop by Crabs?
Swweeeeeeeet!
ok, i gotta admit it: Alex wouldnt have done that! :-)
Lol, no he would not have.
The spike? ;) You’re right about that.
Stupid penalty by CK, unreal.
Come on Ck play it classy. Stupid penalty.
another bad call!
Big 3rd and 9 run by Kap!
is that Jerry Rice out there? ;-)
What a pass and catch yes!!!!!!!!!!!
Craaaaaabs!
Crabtree
wow…..luving #7 right now.
Damn, CK has IT alright.
I’mloving this!!!!!!!!!!
King Crab ballin out!
#7 to #15! second 6!
Yes…..nice throw to crab!
Holy crap, what a throw. Made up for that stupid penalty.
I repeat, Crabtree is the man
Unreal throw by Kap, not to many Qb’s can make that throw.
Kap to Crabs……hottest combo going!
Why don’t we run these plays more often!!!! Let’s go fellas!!
strap it on folks, its going to be a slugfest
Who can make a play?…You know the story!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THROW AND CATCH. MONEY.
If SF can pull this win off, It’s going to be great for bragging rights. We beat you with our starting QB, then we came back and beat you again with our backup QB.
lol. Starter, backup… Backup, starter… we’ll beat you with either. I guess we are real disappointed, eh Aaron?
Going back to that penalty, Jimmy Graham spins the ball just like that after every catch he makes! Right at the defender.
Brilliant throw by Kap!
The football has been outta control today. The playoffs are awesome.
Crabs is the best, perfect throw.
cmon defense
Know the Passer Rating right now?……….
Aaron Rodgers 17.9
Colin Kaepernick 94.9
Thats cool!
Lucky bounce!
Gb got lucky
We need a stop!
aw crud…..they are down there already
Is it just me or is Dashon good for a PF every game
damn, he knocked the mouthpiece out of his mouth
Poor packers! Gettin beat up and the refs are protecting them!
Grant, had to miss the game due to business trip to India. Had an emergency appendectomy yesterday. Enjoying you coverage from hospital bed in New Delhi. Thanks so much.
Get well man!
Hang in there, don’t bust a stitch cheering!
Every game Goldson 15 yard penalty
Need a stop
man defense keeps making mistakes
Stupid penalties. Composure fellas
That was a penalty drive!
Defensive penalties just gave that up… argh!
Aldon Smith where art thou
I am already VERY sick of this game. 49ers defense does not exist today.
Need halftime adjustments! Still hope! That was penalties.
And a lucky bounce back to Rodgers on that strip.
It was crap defense. Penalties are the result of crap play, and in this case, the GB TD was the result of much worse than crap play. Now the offense is playing like crap.
I hate this game. I wanted SF 42, GB 7
We are making stupid mistakes and we are not getting enough pressure on Rogers.
James, big return is coming!
Our offense is better then our defense tonight,going to have to shoot them out.
Ok lets go get seven more, we are going to need it.
what i really liked about last year were the halftime adjustments…..hope they do something soon….we need to stop them.
Niners need to just stay in the nickel. Let Willis sit out. He got used in coverage twice in a row that drive
Agreed Rodgers identified the LB coverage right away. He was looking in his direction before the snap.
Just got on the tv damn I missed all of this it’s 21-21 what’s goin on guys
Shooooootout! Defenses are resting.
Kaep threw a pick six second throw of the game, but recovered nicely by running one into the end zone from 20 yards out to tie it on the ensuing drive.
Rodgers threw one deep andJones came down with an amazing 44 yard catch. GB ran it in from about 20 yards out.
Niners recovered a muff on a pun and scored on a Kaep to Crabs crossing pattern on 3rd and long.
Kaep led the team on a drive downfield from midfield after AR threw a long pick and a good return from Terrell Brown. Great 20 yard strike to Crabtree in the end zone on a play in which he was well covered.
AR led the team on a drive for yet another TD.
And here we are….
Let’s hit Vernon down the middle
Smith would’ve been sacked
I love how Kap just put Woodson on his ass on the sideline.
I dont think that was Kap was it?
Looked like a Kaep-Ginn combo
Ya it was lol
Nice block by Teddy Ginn on that run. good job not holding.
Kap beats the blitz with a big 20 yrd scramble for the 1st down. That will just deflate a defense that had good coverage.
Gotta score here – Packers get the ball to start the 2nd half. Defense is looking sloppy.
Going to need at least 40 tonight to win this.
49ers WILL score!
Kap has 9 carries for 80 yrds right now. wow!
I got him and Crab going in the gridiron challenge!
Nice catch DW
It’ll get overturned unfortunately, but damn good effort.
not conclusive. should be a catch.
Haha love Delanie Walker
Kap has such a great arm, just zipping the ball on a line. However, he’s got to learn to put some air underneath the ball on some of these passes. The pass in the flat to Bruce Miller, the pass to Vernon down the field…
elbow was in bound
Looked like maybe the hand came down prior to elbow
Grant. Business trip to India. Emergency appendectomy. Following game via your blog from hospital bed in Delhi. Thanx
so you wanna blitz?!
DW finally makes a catch n it’s out of bounds…smh
They cant stop that!
LMJ with the nice blitz pickup
WOW! The Pack blitzed 2 guys and Kap beats the blitz again with a huge scramble!!!
Did you see the block LMJ put on Matthews? Wow!
He’s special!
Three straight nice plays by him. Block. catch. run. All around back.
Great blitz pickup by LMJ
Akers time dare i say?
you had to dare!
lol, my bad Rib.
There is nothing conservative in this game!
9ers still gotta get to the LOS faster.
Kaep, I know you’re new but you should know by now that Ginn is only a decoy. Don’t throw him the ball. Ever.
Same goes for Walker.
Green Bay is going to spy Kaep in the second half. That has been our entire offense. Hopefully we make an ajustment to counter.
It takes a man out of coverage or a man out of pass rush.
What the hell is wrong with Delanie. Jesus.
Good game so far..,go Niners!!!
Walker drop…..what else is new.
I don’t think Delanie’s coming back next year.
Celek next man up.
what is up with all the dropped passes by Delanie this year?
Wow, Walker does suck. More than normal even.
Alright Walker you have your drops now comes the touchdown
Good point – Walker usually manages to redeem himself with a great catch at some point.
Walker has brick hands!
Akers w. lucky beard
Kaep over a hundred yards rushing first half.
Good vibes to DA. Let’s go!
Come on DA…you can do it! Your the man!!!
He coverts this and its a huge boost for his confidence.
Ok Ackers your the man, you can do it I know you can.
Delanie Walker. I’m done. Had enough of your drops now. 3 in one half. Liability. My patience has run out. Letting CK down.
Walker can’t catch for Kap!
Got my label on beer facing out.
Got it!!!!
Money!
YES Akers!
phew
Wow what a game, huh guys?
I’m going to fire up the vape and try to calm down – I’m alienating non-Niner friends on FB.
Whew….Akers made the field goal
Good job Akers. Now let’s see Crosby try and hit one under pressure….
We need to shut these guys down 1st drive in third qtr.
The Niners need to add a couple of wide receivers this offseason. It’s Crab or nothing right now.
Moss has contributed as well.
Grant, do you have a “Kaepernick” text insert macro or something?
Data guy? You know your short cuts!! LOL
A what? I can type that name fast. Lots of practice.
I’m impressed!
Man this is a schizophrenic game.
Crabs is playing well but it’s scary that no one else is really making plays.
Seems like the run is there with both Gore and LMJ.
CK is running well. When they blitz he just takes off. Smart.
I thought he was passing well until the stats showed him at 11/22.
Defense really only gave up 2 TD but Rodgers made it look easy.
I still think Vernon is going to come up big at some point in this game. We might see a unsung hero late in the 2nd half like a big reception from A.J. Jenkins. Players make a name for themselves in the playoffs.
Very exciting game.
We need to get more pressure on Rogers in the second half.
I would like to see more throws to Moss, and more running with Frank.
Three drops by Walker and one by Crab. Not acceptable especially in a playoff game.
Pick six is also unacceptable. Hopefully they can overcome their mistakes by forcing the pack to make more mistakes.
Even with the TD TO, the difference is CK’s running. AR is not having a good game. Now it comes down to the 2nd half and how well the DL can get to AR while the 9er offense controls the time of possession (currently they have a 10+ minute advantage). Good times.
Unfortunately they don’t have much of a lead to show for the TOP dominance.
Aaron Rodgers still scares me. Rodgers could be sitting on a block of ice during games and come in and throw 3 TDs. He’s that good.
Anyone know exactly what’s wrong with Staley’s right arm?
What a half, I am worried about staley, I believe Boone wold move to tackle, we should run and maybe Jenkins can make a play, Alcon smith is getting man handled! Close game with Rogers worries me, I need to go find a brown bag !
“Austin Murphy @si_austinmurphy
Kaepernick’s thrown pick-6, run for a TD, thrown for 2, rushed for 107 yds and been flagged for taunting. In 1st half. One-man carnival ride “
I think that sums it up.
Hoes the wife and your heart? I am reaching for the blood pressure pills now!
Harris is fierce.
The legend of P-Willy continues.
Kapernick in the housie house!!!!!
