5-Star Matchup on Opening Sunday! (49ers vs. Packers 2012, Week 1) 

2012. When life was so simple

Man this game was LOADED with studs, Rodgers, Moss, Willis, Woodson, Jordy, Jennings, Gore etc..

It's a shame that this niners defense under Harbaugh didn't stick around for much longer, I truly miss this defense...

Crazy how Rodgers just crumbles every time he faces a good healthy 49ers team

I remembered that game,that’s when the 49ers went to the Super Bowl in New Orleans and lost to the Ravens,one season later in the NFC wild Card,they beat the Packers 26-23 with a Game winning field Goal,beat the panthers 23-10,and lost to the Seahawks in the NFC championship game 23-17

Even though it was one sided in the final scores, the 49ers and Packers had a pretty decent rivalry in 2012-2013: 4 games, 2 playoff games, and all but one game was close.

David Akers at that time tied an NFL record for longest field goal before Matt Prater surpassed his record 2 years later

the packers and 49ers rivalry is totally underappreciated! those 2 provide good matchups!

Back when Alex Smith still had to earn respect

Aldon smith was on his way to LOTS of sacks

Delanie Walker on the 49ers... damn

I remember that game like it was 8 years ago.

It's ironic, Aaron Rogers is by far a better QB than Brett Farve but when we met Farve in the reg or the post he had our number almost everytime whereas with Rogers we've pretty much owned him during his time as a packer.

If the 49ers management and Jim Harbaugh weren't beefing beind the scenes, the 49ers would've likely been a force to be wreckoned with. That defense was scary good, but they always had a hard time against Seattle. After Harbaugh left to Michigan, 49ers became a joke for years

This was a good win. The first of 4 straight wins against the Packers. I'm guessing the game tonight won't be as fun for me :(

2012 is a year of infamous HAIL MARY, that make GB going to Candlestick and Kaepernick Happening, if GB won Seattle in that MNF going to 12-4 and 2 Seed.

Hay does anyonemiss the 2012 Packers where they had Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback and their weapons such as Greg Jennings, james Jones, Jordan Nelson

I remember laughing so hard @ 8:57 when I watched this game live years ago😭😭😭

1. David Akers tied the longest FG ever at that time. 2. He did it in Green Bay, as opposed to the record that was set in Denver where the air is thinner and easier to kick. 3. David was hurt after that and was never the same. He was a six time pro bowl kicker, I closing his first year with SF in 2011. He began a string of misses and would get cut, sign with the Lions and only finish the 2013 season. That kick essentially ended his career.

Some people might know that Randy Moss played with the 49ers in his last season in the league, but who know Mario Manningham played for them as well after winning the super bowl and Cedric Benson played for the Packers.

I remember this game.... this is when David Akers who had a phenomenal season the year tied the record for longest field goal in history but I remember after this he had that injury and he was never the same again he missed a lot of field goals so much that the Niners even tried out another kicker.... but I remember this season because of Randy Moss even though he only had three touchdown passes... Randy Moss made a huge difference in the offense by just being there so much that Michael Crabtree had his best season ever.. I think he was the best receiver that season and didn't even make the Pro Bowl..

Man Navarro Bowman was so good

Who else forgets Moss played for the 49ers?

Probably one of my favorite all time regular season games. I swear the hype was surrounding how the Packers would “outscore” us in a shootout but the media and a lot of people discounted the force that was Harbaugh’s/Fangio’s defense. Those boys were nasty.

Now its gnna be even harder to watch the game 2nte

This 49ers team was elite they had the perfect coach. I'm still suprised they didn't win a Super Bowl

I'm a Ravens fan and still have no idea why when Alex Smith got healthy again, they still kept Kaepernick as starting QB. Smith was ranked like super high in passer rating of like 104.1 which was maybe top 5 and like 70% completion rate, and was 19-4 as the QB under Harbaugh, IIRC. Who knows, maybe the SB would have been completely different.

Aldon Smith!!!!

I remember watching and was so hype when Akers made that 63-yard field goal, miss that team. Let’s go Niners

My childhood team, I hope we at least make the playoffs this year.

Oh, so run defense has been an issue for A WHILE 😂

Unrelated but my little cousin was born this day.

Time flies 😔

1:20 that's a beautifully disguised blitz by that 9ers defense

Miss this defense 😔

1:51 anyone notice Randy Moss #84?

I love this video

Vic Fangio is an American professional football coach and owner of the Green Bay Packers franchise

Back when the 49ers would use 360 pound of a mountain Leonard Davis as a extra blocking tight end plus that elite run blocking offensive line

This was actually the first 49ers road win against the Packers since 1990!

this game was so fun to watch

The defense on this team was amazing I mean Bowman, the Smith brothers, Willis, Whitner, etc...

These Niners never got injured...

This was the 49ers’ first win at Lambeau Field since 1990

0:10 Back when it was exciting to read that phrase and you actually got pumped for NFL football. 🏈

aldon smith was a BEAST around this time. 20 sacks this season if I remember right

Yooo I forgot about when Vernon Davis got rejected by a goalpost🤣🤣💀 shit took me tf back

Well hope they beat them again..bucs Fan.

damn, 11 years ago....I'm getting old

Haha those tailgates looked fun

If you look closely at that packers defense, you can just make out AJ hawk jonesing for a giant cigar.

Love the 3-4 scheme but the currant scheme not to bad either

49ers 2012 O-Line🔥

San Fran kicked their ass lol. Wasn't even as close as 8 points, GB got lucky with that overturned penalty on the punt return TD. Man I wish these 9ers won a Super Bowl

5:05 Aaron Rodgers: “You see that Seattle? That’s how you throw a TD pass at the 1-yard line.”

Back when the niners defense could shut down any QB

Man are Defense was so Nasty … Alison Smith could have been the greatest pass rusher of all time. Dashon Goldson was a dog

6 stars if it was played in the Tokyo Dome.

This team should have won Atleast 2 rings

3:05 🤔 I don’t see roughing the passer Looks like a clean play

Ah yes the replacement refs

Rodgers vs 49ers..... Don't even have to watch the game to know who will win 😂

3:52 Joe Buck was having flashbacks.

So many not very smart management teams for the teams who signed Randy. Wish the Cowboys would've joined that list

Didn't Aaron Rodgers have to wear an Alex Smith jersey after this game because of some wager?

Yeah Clay did actually. He launched at the QB after the ball was gone. No attempt to hold up at all. That's roughing. Even if he just shoves him instead of launching and RKOing the guy he would have been fine

2:30 Green eighteen! green eighteen hut!

i have zero memory of Delanie Walker playing for the 49ers lol

BACK TO FOOTBALL

Back in 2012 when I was me…

How did that 49ers team not win a Super Bowl?

Why wasent the game postponed

The niners were STACKED

Green Bay fans are such mouth-breathers

Ugly field goal but good 👍

Ahh back when we where... Ok😌

What could've been with jim smh

8:57 lol

Hasnt been to superbowl since Rodgers

Aaron v alex

Ahhh yes I remember the cringe “back to football” picture filters on social media

At 0:01 those sausages look good😛

9:18 - Brandon Weeden 4 INT's 😤

Don’t say 5 star matchup that’s Pittsburgh shit Mike Tomlin put us on that

Randy moss as a 49er was better than his raiders and Tennessee titans stay combined lmao but respect randy moss top 3 ever at worst ability wise

49ers are Rodgers Daddy

The clip at 11:43 is obvious and the refs decide to "pick up" the flag.

Niners own the packers

Who won

Aaron Rodgers is soooooo overrated.

Hi first comment

I remembered that game, that’s when the 49ers went to the Super Bowl in New Orleans and lost to the Ravens,one season later in the NFC wild Card, they beat the Packers 26-23 with a Game winning field Goal, beat the panthers 23-10 and lost to the Seahawks in the NFC championship game 23-17
