Those would be my picks too except I'm not sure on the Bengals. If RGIII was fully fit I might go with the Redskins but they were too dominant against the 49ers for me to ignore. For the other NFC one I'd prefer us to face the Packers than the Vikings. A couple of teams which have managed to run on us this year have been quite successful which is why I would prefer the other match-up.

Honestly? I'd take playing Ponder over Rodgers every single day.

It's more Adrian Peterson's impact than Rodgers.

Bengals offensive line looking paper thin in this one.

Ponder possibly out for our game.

Re: The All new NFL Chat thread including playoff talk : Sat Jan 05, 2013 10:41 pm  

I'm really looking forward to the Vikings @ Packers, we get to see the best back in the game against the best quarterback.

In other news. Matt Schaub stinks.

Was just reading the official NFL media guide for the 49ers and it's packed full of stats. Pulled these out for relevance in the postseason. THE 49ERS PLAYOFF RECORD WHEN... 49ERS PLAYOFF RECORD VS. OPPONENT 19-1 Winning the turnover battle 3-17 Losing the turnover battle 3-0 Tying the turnover battle 6-0 Committing no turnovers 21-3 Leading at halftime 4-11 Trailing at halftime 1-3 Tied at halftime 24-4 Leading after three quarters 2-14 Trailing after three quarters 16-5 Scoring first 24-7 Scoring 20-or-more points 16-2 Holding opponents under 17 points 8-3 Passing for 300 yards-or-more 15-10 Passing for 250 yards-or-less 23-5 Rushing for 100 yards-or-more 8-1 Rushing for 150 yards-or-more 2-12 Rushing for less than 100 yards 19-2 Rushing 30 times-or-more 9-2 Opponents pass for 300 yards-or-more 13-10 Opponents pass for 250 yards-or-less 7-16 Opponents rush for 100 yards-or-more 18-2 Opponents rush for less than 100 yards 5-14 Opponents rush 30 times-or-more 23-13 Playing on grass 3-5 Playing on turf 20-10 Playing at home 2-9 Playing on the road 10-6 Decided by touchdown-or-less 0-1 Game goes into overtime That 2-9 on the road is a killer. Think it's interesting to look at the impact rushing has had in the past. Be interesting to see how it compares to a team whose postseason appearances have been since the passing game was opened up i.e. 23-5 when rushing over 100yds and 18-2 when opponent rushing is less than 100yds. If anyone wants to look through their own team, the other media guides available here

Good win for us.

This will now be the first game at Candlestick for California born, San Francisco fan Aaron Rodgers. Finally time to get some revenge for when they humiliated him and let him slide to 24 (thankfully) to pick the bust that is Alex Smith....show them what they are missing.

I'm a Rodgers fan, great player, but they didn't let him slide to 24 there were many other teams that passed on him also. The Packers are a great example of how draft and develop can give your franchise long term stability but they have got things wrong before.

Many other teams were wrong too, as we have been before (that wasn't the intention of my comment). However if you've seen our America's game, and know anything about Rodgers, he takes it up another notch when he is annoyed or feels slighted. He felt slighted by the 49ers not taking him and this is his first chance to rectify that situation.

As well as being the best in the league he is also the most sensitive. I think the winner will represent the nfc in the superbowl.
