Divisional Rounds:

[Bulldawg]

Oh, and it’s snowing and freezing Saturday ngt at Lambeau.

8pm kickoff… ouch. Good luck w that, San Fran…

SF matches up well with GB...especially if it is cold and teams have to rely on running game. SF is tougher and more physical than GB. I think SF gives them all they can handle. Even if SF doesn't win, GB will be limping after the game. I think SF gets the upset.

"Good luck w that San Fran?" Heck, I'm ROOTING for San Fran. If Rams Advance past TB, I'd way rather have SF at Home than AT Green Bay. Not even close.

Totally agree.

Besides, we have to beat them eventually. It's long past embarrassing.

Dont passive-aggressive me Buddy? You know I love ya. The comment was fair enough, what made it slightly odd to me was the fact that you and me both are rooting for SF. That didn't "compute" for me.

For me, its just extremely hard to EVER root for the niners, so if it doesnt compute... its not supposed to. I have no answers. Does not compute w me either.

I routed for the niners vs the cowboys and almost vomited multiple times. Had to take 4 showers bc I felt dirty. I can't go through that again.

Go Green Bay

[Davis57]

I’ve checked different sources and their predictions and so far every game could go either way except Packers niners … all picking the packers

Hmmmm, "eventually," right?

Of course, back in the 1990s "eventually" came following 17 straight wins by the 49ers, didn't it? That was truly "long past embarrassing," I'd venture.

Now if the Rams only had Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk and Torry Holt as new starters... 8-) :P

{1} That extra 'bye' week of rest and recovery;

{2} Home field with expected freezing weather; &

{3} Aaron Rodgers vs. Jimmy Garoppolo as starting QBs

Of course, if the Packers somehow were to end up unmotivated and unprepared, the upset could occur--however I'm figuring that Matt LaFleur won't permit that to happen this weekend... :o :?

I fear what it will do to this franchise if they were to lose to SF for a third time in one season, AND costing them a trip to the SB. Both an embarrassment, and self destructive. I almost would rather play GB as it's obvious, they cannot beat Jimmy G.

Agreed. Rams lose and SF goes to the SB..

I can't handle that. Rams won't have home field advantage against the Niners, so might as well go to GB. It'll be embarrassing seeing the rams use a silent count at home again.

Silent count at home in the NFC Championship game. That alone makes me want GB to win.

[ocram23]

Disagree with you guys. Rams will have a better chance in weather-controlled L.A. Dome than frigid Green Bay. Also, despite the win streak, youd rather play RODGERS than JG??? Dont be ridiculous. You NEVER, repeat, NEVER pass up the chance to Host the Championship Game. Packers are gonna beat banged up SF and that pisses me off. We would definitely beat San Fran this time, while Green Bay is super iffy. Dont mean to disrespect Tampa and the colossal challenge we face playing them either.

100% IMO AR is the best QB in the game right now. they are getting multiple key players back from the IR. this is the team to beat. Now Brady is no slouch but they have key injuries on their OL that will increase our chances of winning this weekend. Only thing that scares me is it is not easy to run against TB and that is the key to our offense.

Niners one game from the SB? The only team stopping them is the Rams ? I won't sleep good all week. I dont think I can handle it.

I can handle losing to AR in the NFC game. Like you said Rodgers is a Hall of Famer. I can't stomach losing to JG 3 times and seeing them in the SB. I cant tolerate seeing the niner fans take over the stadium, force Stafford to use a silent count at home and celebrate on the Rams field.

I am a huge rams fan, but when it comes to the niners, I don't trust them. Against GB the rams will be able to run the ball. Stafford will have time to throw. Against the Niners, Rams OL will have their manhood taken away from them, again. Rams won't be able to run and Stafford will be under attack all game.

Will not have a repeat of Week 18. Gotta believe Rams have "learned their lesson."

Then again, you could be completely right.

I do have to believe but I can't put that much on the line. My heart won't be able to take it.
Rams win it would be a great start to the SB.
Rams lose, I have to deal with the rams losing, and the niners going to the SB on the same day? Weeks of niner talk leading into the SB and talk on how they beat the rams 3 times to go the SB. If the Niners somehow win, I won't be able to watch anything football for at least 5 months.

[Cornell29]

Rams first need to take care of business agai st the Bucs, which won't be easy.
Once the rams take care of business, all I ask is for the niners to beat the mess out of AR and GB before losing.

After the game, on the show Rodgers goes on, the one he showed his toe. I want Rodgers to go on their with nothing but a limb. No foot

Many in here were saying “the Rams learned their lesson” leading up to the last game against the niners……….

RAMS DON’T MATCHUP WELL WITH NINERS!………..

I’m not sure if they do with GB but I know how they do against………..

Precisely!

The Rams haven't earned any trust from their fans in games vs. the 49ers, especially with Matthew Stafford at QB for the Good Guys.

On the other hand, over the past decade-plus of NFL postseason competition, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have shown themselves to be plenty capable of losing at home in the playoffs--most recently a year ago in the NFC championship game.

Of course, I would be disappointed to have our team lose the conference title contest on the road against the Packers, yet not nearly so annoyed as I would be should Kyle Shanahan once again make Sean McVay look like an inept stumblebum, right in SoFi Stadium.

"God save us from that disgrace..." :( :? :cry:

Yup its all about matchups.
Both are horrible options but I prefer GB.
The way the Niners handles the rams ol with just 4 rushers is my biggest problem. How do you coach a ol to be stronger? I've seen the interior line get beat before but I never seen Hav gets handle like that. Rams ol just gets man handled. Horrible match up. The niners also have multiple guys who can take advantage of the Rams weak tackling.

Imo the Rams have a better shot at beating GB. Stafford just has to protect the ball (he had 2 turnovers that led to 14 points) and the rams needs to establish the run game. The rams ol can handle GB front. Rams offense was able to consistently move the ball against GB.

You talk about the comparison between playing the 49ers and the Packers as if both were being played on a neutral field. The Packers equation is playing on the road in a hostile environment in possible zero degree temperature and snow. How come that isn't mentioned in any of your reports? You're comparing apples to oranges when you leave out the Home vs Road aspect of it.

Bottom line is this, if we are at Green Bay we are underdogs by 4 1/2 or more. If we Host SF we are 3 point or more Favorites.

SF would be hosting the Rams and I’m not sure if the visiting team would be 3 point favorites………….

The positive would yes be the weather. Well at least for the players of the visiting team. It’s fans will find something else to do because the weather will be to nice………….

I will make a "million dollar Forum Bucks" bet w you that Rams are Fave over the Niners, while being 6 point dogs In Green Bay.

You guys are gonna get your wish, Packers will beat them. Just that I wont be happy about it.

Wish? No. Happy about it? Another No…………..

I just won’t change my position that this current Rams roster is a bad matchup with the current SF roster……………….

Sean McVay is a terrible coaching matchup vs. Kyle Shanahan, that much is quite obvious.

I'm happy whenever the 49ers get their butts kicked on the gridiron, I've intensely disliked those total SOBs for half a century... :x

Gotta hope then that Stafford and the boys can play in 10 degree weather then. We KNOW Rodgers and the Packers can.

Insane IMO to prefer AT Green Bay and Aaron freakin Rodgers to Home and Jimmy Garoppolo. Insane I tell ya...

No, you know what's insane? The Rams playing the NFC championship game in their new state of the art, 5 billion dollar stadium, in front of 75% loud 49er fans. And, like previously mentioned, the Rams have learned their lesson. What lesson? They learned they cannot beat a 49er team lead by Jimmy G, and when the Rams run onto their field, to a loud, LOUD road of boos, the wind is out of their sails. The Rams cannot match up to the 49er front seven, and that's where the game is won, or lost. I love the Rams. They are just not physical enough to beat the niners. Had their foot on their throats at 17-0, and then got slapped around for the rest of the game. It's now officially a mental thung, which is not good.

Yeah, and you gotta just LOOOOVE our last few appearances at Lambeau, especially in frigid weather

Wish? No. Happy about it? Another No…………..

I just won’t change my position that this current Rams roster is a bad matchup with the current SF roster……………….

And we're a GOOD matchup against the best QB in Football, who has completely had his way with us lately??? Oh and add in sub 20 degree weather and possible precip, yeah, the Rams ALWAYS play great in THOSE conditions....

I’ll take my chances………….

And I am too……….

You have Vegas I have most of the rest of the country……………

Current rosters that team beats us 9 out of 10 times…………

So 25% change of winning since we know how the first six went…………..

I’m giving us better odds in GB……………

At least if the rams lose to GB I don't have to see the niners preparing to play in the SB. My goodness, if the Niners win the SB. I might not watch football next year.

Both are horrible choices, but at least with GB the rams can establish the run and move the ball even in the cold. After last week, I don't know how the rams will ever be able to establish the run against the niners. Against GB, I can picture Stafford doing a better job of protecting the ball and not spotting the Packers 14 points like he did earlier in the year.
I cannot picture the rams ol holding up against the niners dl. Hav and the interior ol got raped out their. I was about to call the cops to file a complaint, bc it looked so bad.

[Rammo]

Rams beat the 49ers in LA much easier than the GB Packers in GB-not even close enough to compare. We had the 49ers 17-0 and then again by 7 with less than two minutes to play-we haven't even sniffed a lead against A rod in ages
