First of all, as a 49ers backer, you should probably be more concerned with whether FRISCO will be effective running the ball because if THEY cant run....you're fucked. Lets just say, hypothetically, that Green Bay doesn't have a solid rushing attack. Did you know that over 17 weeks of football, Green Bay has only failed to score more than 21 points TWICE this season with a so called one dimensional offense? So....who says it will make a difference if they don't run against SF? This is a passing league. Green Bay has the 2nd best QB in the league. To try and sound intellectual by saying Green Bay cant win because they don't have a rushing attack is ridiculous. And by the way, why does every swingin' person try and make the 49ers defense out be the '85 Bears? I mean, who the darn are the 49ers? They had the luxury of playing the Rams and Cardinals over 4 weeks of football this season and, oh by the way, they weren't fortunate enough to beat the Rams this season. As well, they gave up 24 points to the Vikings, 24 points to the Rams, 34 points to New England and 42 points to Seattle. These guy aren't invinceable, to say the least. But as for Green Bay's rushing attack, they DO have a rushing attack as they showed last week with Harris and Grant. Jeff Saturday was a statue and since he was replaced, Green Bay has become much improved. As a Green Bay backer, I'm happier to have Grant back in the backfield as a pass blocker than anything else but since he works best with quick screens on the outside, he'll be a great mismatch for SF's aggressive pass rush.

I never thought I'd feel so strongly about ONE player making such an impact on the outcome of a game but the absence of Clemmons will be huge this week. Seattle is a very good team and they should still find ways to apply pressure but I'm not sure it will be enough. With that said, the only way Seattle has a chance to win is to be able to disrupt Atlanta's passing game. I really like Seattle and if I wasn't betting, I'd be pulling for them. But....I'm really leaning heavy on Atlanta at under a fg.

Did I hurt your feelings? Take a Midol, you'll feel better. And, numbers don't always tell the story but trying to explain that to you would be like me trying to explain the Kreb Cycle to a 3 year old. Hang in there

Just messing with you, dude...lighten up

....which is why I usually stay of the threads until the end of the week to avoid the drama. It's only Tuesday and I'm already making friends

Excellent point to a game that is chalked by only a fg. Weather could definitely be a factor at the stick this weekend so 3rd down conversions will be extremely critical especially since Harbaugh will be reluctant to allow Head Case to attempt long fg's. Rodgers is money on 3rd down, 43%. SF, on the other hand, is 26th in the league at 35.1%.
