San Francisco 49ers
Scouting The San Francisco 49ers
Nov 21st
We took a look at the San Francisco 49ers, the second-best team in the NFL, on Sunday. Here’s what we found out and how it might apply to a matchup with the Green Bay Packers.
Rodgers Wanted To Play In San Francisco
Aug 22nd
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers admits he wanted to play for the San Francisco 49ers, who drafted Alex Smith instead in 2005. In the end, it looks like things worked out for everyone… except the 49ers.
Clay Matthews Should Have A Field Day On Sunday
Dec 4th
The San Francisco 49ers clearly intend on throwing any and everyone they have at Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews, on Sunday. Matthews and his league-leading 11.5 sacks will be lined up across from rookie right tackle Anthony Davis. Granted, Davis was a first-round pick this season, but he’s struggled in every game with [...]
Johnson: Singletary Is A Motivational Speaker
Dec 1st
Since the Green Bay Packers are playing the San Francisco 49ers this week, I thought it would be interesting to point this out. Former Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson said 49ers coach Mike Singletary is like a motivational speaker posing as a football coach. I’m paraphrasing a bit, but the message is [...]
Sources: 49ers GM Could Wind Up In Green Bay

The San Fransisco 49ers are at odds with general manager Scot McCloughan, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that could play out in favor of the Green Bay Packers.

It only took 10 games, but the Green Bay Packers’ offense on Sunday finally looked like it did in the preseason – dominant. Aaron Rodgers threw for 344 yards and two scores while Ryan Grant added 129 yards rushing and a touchdown of his own as the Packers beat the San Francisco 49ers 30-24, improving [...]
Stopping Davis Key For Packers
Nov 21st
We talked earlier about the San Francisco 49ers being a running team and the potential impact of Frank Gore, but the key to the Green Bay Packers’ chances on Sunday is stopping tight end Vernon Davis. Davis had three poor seasons to open his career, but has blossomed into a big time playmaker under 49ers [...]
49ers Reflect Coach Mike Singletary
Nov 21st
The Green Bay Packers opponent this week, the San Francisco 49ers, have become a reflection of both coach Mike Singletary and the team he played for, the Chicago Bears, in the coach’s 13 months on the job. Singletary has instilled a toughness in the 49ers and, not surprisingly, his team plays much the same way [...]
1996 Packers, 49ers Riot Game Changed Everything
Nov 18th
There have been some great matchups in the history of the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers series, but the high point came in the mid-to-late ’90s. Those years signaled a changing of the guard in an NFL once ruled by the 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. A well-built Green Bay Packers team with a mix [...]
