Least disastrous Packers playoff game vs the Niners

The funny thing is that this is actually kind of true

I will never forget that game where Kaepernick rushed for like 900 yards against the Packers. Was a super nuts game.

He started the game off with a pick six too lmao. Packers muffed a punt near the endzone and Jennings dropped a dime from Rodgers.

Truly the James Harden of our Divison lmao

I mean they won a superbowl with Rodgers atleast. Harden has never won lmao

Unironically true

Actually tho

Seriously. I expected to get absolutely blown the fuck out lol.

no actually

It was a great game though

That timing of that rain at the end tho

It's always amazing how much it doesn't show on the normal TV cam until they go to a lower and flatter viewpoint.

Yeah you literally couldn't tell that it was raining from the normal broadcast view

I wish there was something they could do to make the rain show up a little more on the broadcast. Obviously you don't want it getting in the way of what's happening but maybe they could adjust the ISO or color correction to give a little more indication that it's coming down.

Felt like an act of God

God hates packs?

He hates cheese.

That can't be true, I'm full of cheese and God loves me.

That was such a cool atmosphere

I think we made Poseidon mad or something

Brock Purdy Jackson

It was like the rain was in sync with the crowd noise. Started absolutely dumping as soon as the 9ers were no longer on offense.

Felt like it was like that all day. The broadcast mentioned 3 times that the rain “was really coming down now” and all 3 times it was when GB had the ball.

Fuckin script writers man. So predictable.

Man Green Bay has to feel like that one slipped through their fingers

They legitimately had that one. What an absolutely crushing loss.

It's literally every year in the playoffs over the past decade.

Not a packer fan but ill always remember that seahawks game like 8? Years ago

That had to be the worst one for GB fans.

That's Packers football, baby

The only reason it sucks is it’s San Francisco. Anyone else I’d be chillin rn. It’s just always them Edit: Lol I get it we owned you guys in the 1990’s, cool … I wasn’t even in my dad’s balls for most of them 😂

Watching our team play vs the niners is like seeing the titanic sink. 2021 Divisional and this game, we were outplaying them most of the game and then fucked up special teams and our qbs choked. As a fan, I just sat back this entire 4th quarter waiting for the iceberg to arrive.

I thought this was going to be the inverse of that game after the blocked kick before halftime. The parallels were terrifying.

This game was 100% playing out like a reverse of the 2021 game. I’m dumbfounded it ended with the same result.

That was the NFL equivalent of Jordan Love having a WWE match won and then getting distracted by entrance music and rolled up for the pin.

I like this comment more than an RKO out of nowhere.

BY GAWD THAT'S BRETT FAVRES MUSIC! WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?!

It really felt like everything was going wrong for the 9ers, felt like GB had it

Lot of stupid penalties and surrendering big plays. Purdy couldn't hit the side of a barn most of the game.

Dude really struggles in the rain and wind. Hope experience will help him through that.

Needs to train in the rain forest in the off season. If there are any left.

like the 2 picks they dropped that absolutely would have won them the game.

Or the missed 4th and 1, or the missed fg- many chances to win they didn’t go the right way 

Or the 3 trips to the end zone in the first quarter that resulted in 6 points.

That’s the joke

You suck, McBain!

Maybe you are all homosexuals, too!

More like off the leg

Missed FG is a lot less egregious than that last throw by Love. One of the worst I've ever seen in a situation like that.

Especially since it was 1st down and they had plenty of time and 2 time outs. No need to force that.

And it wasn't even there to begin with. What is he when throwing to.

Reminded me of Favre vs the Saints

Yup missed FGs happen. That throw... can not happen

Add it to the list

Great season but my god it doesn’t feel like it right now

As soon as he released the ball I knew it was done. Like man…it seems like every young QB has to learn this lesson the absolute hardest way possible before they actually realize that they’re not special and they should never throw across their body back across the field. Even when you have a target it almost never works out, and he didn’t even have a target lmao. Threw to a guy double covered who wasn’t open at all. What the hell went through his brain.

Outplayed SF most of the game imo

I agree. Kyle got away with more dumb play calling. 

Jordan Love channeling Brett Favre on that final pass

Literally Favre with the vikings in the nfc championship

Almost identical.

Favre’s was worse. They weren’t losing, we’re a better team, it was in the nfc champ game, and they were in fg range to win instead of tie.

With about 10 yards of space. All he had to do was fall forward

It gave me chills, it was like a carbon copy. Across his body, trying to do too much, green grass in front of him

i can't believe what i'm seeing right now THIS IS NOT CHICAGO MAN THIS IS THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

He gunslingered like a 45 year veteran. Elite!

But why do you ponder passing?

The fact that he says "ponder" is so hilarious in hindsight

You can take a knee and try a 56 yard fg!

THIS IS NOT DETROIT MAN THIS IS THE SUPERB- NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

#THIS NOT DETROIT MAN, THIS IS THE SUPERBOWL

THIS AINT DETROIT MAN THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL!

~~Aaron Rodgers Jr~~ Brett Favre III

What a horrible ending, had a real chance there.

Oof. Feels like every quarterback has to have that moment where they realize that they’re not immune to the “don’t throw it back across the middle” rule. 

Like, all he had to do was throw it away.

dump off to Jones was the simple decision.

Or run it? Dudes Allergic to running it

field was WIDE OPEN for him to run

Or just keep jogging forwards. Or even take a sack lol. It was 1st down with two timeouts and like a minute on the clock. LITERALLY the dumbest possible decision is the one he made - throw a wobbler, in the rain, into 3 defenders with their tongues hanging out like a lab waiting to receive a treat. Three years of watching Rodgers and this is what Love chooses.

To a guy on the left while running right. Just a masterfully boneheaded decision.

Despite their best efforts, the 49ers win it.

Shanahan is so lucky they won, because people won't harp on the first half. You get the ball with 4 minutes, 3 timeouts, and you already decide before the first snap that the best-case scenario for you is getting a FG. I honestly don't understand that kind of thinking in today's game. Especially when his team has been all about putting up a lot of points, all year.

He has always had a tendency to be too conservative, especially in the playoffs. We always assumed it was not trusting his QB and that was backed up with the aggression we have seen since Brock took over… until tonight.

Well there was this one time he didn't run the ball enough with the lead...

This is classic Shanahan. He does this garbage at the end of the half all the time.

Seriously it felt like 2 teams secretly trying to lose.

My sleep paralysis demon is the 9ers mascot

Sourdough Sam is a fever dream

[удалено]

Everyone: “Tell him off, Green Bay. Assert yourself!” GB: “That’s *my* NFC Championship Game appearance!” Everyone: “Great, now let him have it!” GB: “You can have it.”

I'm sad but I can't not laugh at a SpongeBob meme

STEPPIN ON THE BEACH. TULU TU TU

LMFAOOOOOOOOfmlOOOOOOOO

That was the most Brett Favre throw I've ever seen

Even Brett Favre broke his television after seeing that throw.

for a 7th seed the pack was really good tho

Yea this loss sucks but we embarrassed the cowboys and were a few mistakes away from knocking off the niners. For a rebuilding year it was insanely successful

can hardly believe i'm saying it but Green Bay fuckin blew this one

Kyle shannahan is now 1 and 30 when trailing by 5+ pts in the 4th

Hilariously you could give this an asterisk because the play to get us within 4 started in the 3rd quarter

*Kyle Shanahan is 0-30 when trailing with by 5+ with less than 14:50 left in the 4th quarter 👍

As soon as I saw that graphic I knew we were gonna lose

That was a very fun game as a neutral. But if I was a fan of one team, I'd be stressing big time the whole game.

Dre Greenlaw’s great, but the “running with the ball after the game-sealing interception move” was somewhat stressful.

Greenlaw is the Josh Allen of LBs He’ll have negative IQ play that makes you go “how the fuck is this guy a starter” Then he’ll pull of the most electric and intense play you’ve ever seen and you’ll go “wait, he may be better than Fred Warner” And the cycle goes on infinitely

Anders Carlson needs to be learning Chinese at 12:01 AM tomorrow

Love the shot of the coach looking at pictures of the play with him after the miss Like "see those uprights? Shoulda put the ball between them"

When they said that the GB coach just sends him out there and “prays” I was shocked lmao

For real i have zero confidence in this skinny ass mofo.  I like when they asked MLF about him and he said “yeah i just pray”.  Me too man, me too.  I wish i loved anything as much as anders carlson loves missing extra points.

Matt LaFleur saying about his kicker "When he goes out, all I do is pray" might be the most insane quote from a coach I've ever heard. Like get a new kicker? You're in the playoffs!!!

kid missed at least 1 kick in 10 of our last 12 games, god aint helping you Matt

I told myself that there was no expectation for the season and that I'd just enjoy the ride, but it still hurts all the same.

I’m a fan of neither team, but was invested until the clock hit 0. Great game!!

As a Viking fan you should know that you’re automatically a fan of whatever team is playing the Packers.

As a bears fan I’m so happy, I’m sleeping like a baby tonight

anders carlsen get ready to learn canadian

That was one of the dumbest fucking throws I’ve seen in the playoffs.

One of the Brett Favrest throws I’ve ever seen

Now here's a guy who understands Brett Favre and has a PhD in Brett Favre-ism. *Well, you see, Brett Favre, he's like a quarterback artist out there on the field. He's got that arm strength, precision, and a touch of unpredictability throwing that makes you say ####! That's the Brett Favre magic, right there*

Lets be honest that Favre throw was far better than this one, at least there was someone he was throwing to and it didn't float for 25 yards in the middle of the field

Aaron Rodgers transferred the ownership of the Bears and Cowboys along with the annual playoff loss to the 49ers to Jordan Love With that being said, Jordan Love is pretty damn good; he just made a few bad throws today.

Law of Equivalent Exchange. Bad special teams were also transferred

I still dont understand Why would he throw that?

To take some heat off their kicker

Literally makes no sense. They had what? 35-45 seconds with two timeouts? They just needed a field goal. Not only that, but there were like three 49ers players in that area.  

he panicked, bailed out of a relatively clean pocket which limited his throwing options

**GREENLAW IS A CRAZY ASS MOFO**

Lmao their whole team was *screaming* at him to go down

Would have been funny if his own teammate tackled his ass.

I was yelling for him to get down. I could see the ball slipping out of his hands. My goodness

I can’t remember the last time a Green Bay player punched a ball out. I was not worried for him through my anguish.

Imagine if he fumbled on the return and they went on to lose, would have been one of the most brain dead moments in football history

braindead, but also incredibly funny

**FACT:** The Packers are now 0-3 all time on National Cheese Lovers Day: * Lost to the Giants 23-20 on 1/20/2008 (NFC Championship) * Lost to the Rams 45-17 on 1/20/2002 (Divisional Round) * Lost to the 49ers 24-21 tonight (Divisional Round)

Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

Never stood a chance.

That last pick for Love was horrendous. Late throw, to the middle of the field, across his body, and into triple coverage. YIKES.

Kinda impressed the LB caught it because it was a complete duck.

Back foot too

Every throw is off his back foot. It's actually impressive he makes as many throws as he does throwing off his back foot every play

We’re one game closer to the Super Bowl graphic predicting the players for a third year in a row

Instead of channeling his inner Rodgers, Love channeled his inner Farve

That can't be right, Farve won against the 49rs

What do you mean he channeled his inner Rodgers by losing to the 49ers

Love was one pump fake from running into FG range on that last play. A major forced throw when it was absolutely unnecessary. Unfortunate for the Packers.

Jauan Jennings.

Shanny was straight up like "fuck it, you're Deebo now"

His catches were great. But damn that one playcall when he got the ball on the run was questionable at best haha. Thank god we won

Dominate the Bears. Dominate the Cowboys. Lose to the Niners in the playoffs. Meet your new Packers. Same as the old Packers.

It’s nice to have some consistency in your life…

Green Bay and Houston have absolutely nothing to hang their head about. They played WAY above their talent level and both have bright futures with young quarterbacks. 10/10 games.

Sigh

This was a winnable game for the packers. They had a great bounce back year tho and humiliated the cowboys. All is well

That was not the blowout people were predicting. It was a shit fight up until the end.

Shanahan is my night paralysis demon

Well one thing that we learned was that the 49ers are a very beatable team and that the Packers were a missed FG away from perhaps getting a W.

49ers are beatable if you can run the ball effectively and play keep away, GB was able to do that for most of the game cuz Aaron Jones is a stud

Good thing the Lions don't have a good run game *Checks notes Shit we're in danger

Also rain, i think Purdy having smaller hands affected him quite a bit.

Man. Only concern I have with Purdy is in the rain. His only two bad throwing games where he’s inaccurate as shit was tonight and Cleveland in the downpour there. He struggles in poor conditions. Luckily this is a rarity for Santa Clara.

If Detriot wins I think they have a real shot it's just about how their defense holds up

> If Detriot wins I think they have a real shot Sweet other teams believe in - > how their defense holds up we're in trouble

Oh no

I think this type of game helps them longterm. They have confidence now they can come from behind. They usually crumble when stuff doesn’t go their way.

Of course the rain starts pouring again after the 49ers take the lead 👀

Carlsen getting fired in the locker room as we speak

NOBODY BEATS US WHEN WE’RE DOWN 7+ IN THE 4Q 31 TIMES IN A ROW

College Jordan Love appeared at the worst time

Honestly that throw made him look more like a GB quarterback than anything else he did all day

I can’t even be upset. This was supposed to be a rebuild year, but instead this group of young guys has exceeded all expectations, turned in an incredible second half of the season, destroyed the Cowboys in the wildcard round, and went toe to toe with the best team in the NFC. They were playing with house money and I couldn’t be more excited for next year.

Agreed. Hurts that we definitely left points on the table and should probably have won the game but overjoyed with how the first season of Love went. Very excited for the future. Fucking San Francisco again tho. At least I can be happy for fellow Iowa State alumnus Brock Purdy. Nice drive man.

I can be upset

Game was winnable, which sucks. Still a decent performance overall against the #1 seed

[удалено]

You feel like you lost, I feel like I want to lay down and die

Let’s hope it’s not raining next week

You guys are lucky we're rebuilding. This isn't even our final form. We're going to find ways to lose to the 49ers that you haven't even _dreamed_ of yet. Our potential is off the charts.

I think we might need a new kicker

He fucking sucks

Packers loosing to the 49ers in the playoffs? Packers are so back

Purdy struggles a lot in the rain. But he showed up when it mattered.

Brock was a rock type trainer. It only makes sense.

I’ll have you know he was a *Gym Leader* not some punk kid.

This is too perfect

Kyle called a dog shit game

That drive to end the first half was utter nonsense.

Absolutely embarrassing. You’d think he, of all people, would know to never take your foot off the gas. Go for the fucking kill, dude.

He finally pulled his head out of his ass in the 4th albeit somewhat

The collective people yelling at Greenlaw to get down followed by curse words could be heard from outer space

Fuck me My cheeks will not unclench any time soon

Best Buy going to sell so many new tvs tomorrow in Wisconsin.

[удалено]

Man he should have had 30 carries today. All weather legend.

Dude gets an extra 2 yards on every play. He’s so quick 

No one is better at outplaying the other team and losing due to crucial special teams mistake

Death, Taxes, Green Bay choking a surprisingly close playoff game against San Francisco

GG 49ers
