the Dude abides
Miller or Robinson? Miller for the longer term, with room for him to progress. Robinson right now if it were just for a playoff run. Experience is important in these elimination games. Robinson unfortunately spent his prime on some poor Niner clubs but did manage to translate it to a new contract elsewhere. His special teams contribution also shouldn't be ignored. Miller seems to have better mobility and agility relative to the demands of the position, but maybe not the power. Perhaps if there was a bona fide classic fullback, the reliance on that Dumbo package wouldn't be considered necessary. Follow the fullback used to be a staple for the halfbacks of dinasoar era football. Which Harbaugh isn't adverse to in certain situations. I don't have the same angst I did last year, when the possibilities of a remarkable 'worst to first' dream season got more and more tangible. After two years of Harbaugh it's clear the Niners are an upper level contending team, and will challenge to at least make the playoffs with some consistency in the near future. It's also evident that they are about equal to most of the remaining playoff teams at present. Not necessarily a lot better or a lot worse. Winning or losing against any of the remaining teams wouldn't be a surprise either way.Factoring in momentum, injuries, experience and so on,any given game can swing wildly one way or another. It's not a dishonor to be beaten at this stage of the season if it were to happen, but I think they should have a slight edge against Green Bay. As good as he is, Rodgers is a known quantity. Kap is a wild card to them. Kicking at night in Candlestick in January is always an adventure, even for the most seasoned veterans. It may not even be about distance, but more about reading the conditions and being able to adjust. I just hope the game doesn't come down to a late field goal attempt. I think it will be a 27 - 24 type of game for the home team, but weather might factor into it and keep the scoring lower.
