![]() ![]() However don’t forget the Packers dominated most of that game before some poor officiating led by Jerome Boger (whose crew has been banned from the rest of the playoffs for a botched whistle) gave San Francisco a boost. People may point to how Green Bay needed a walk-off Mason Crosby field goal to beat San Francisco this year. Now San Francisco’s rushing attack is arguably their biggest weakness with having to rely on rookie Elijah Mitchell and receiver Deebo Samuel for the bulk of their run game production and indeed Mitchell had 27 carries yesterday in the win over the Dallas Cowboys, averaging 3.6 yards per carry. Both times the Green Bay defense was run all over by San Francisco, first by Colin Kaepernick in 2013 and then by Raheem Mostert in 2012. In the Aaron Rodgers era, the Packers are 0-3 against the 49ers in the postseason but two of those losses have come in San Francisco and they were, as we all remember, blowouts. ![]() ![]() Given the Packers’ recent history against the 49ers in the playoffs, fans would be forgiven if they are a bit worried about this matchup but the truth is this is the strongest position the Packers have been in to face the 49ers in the playoffs in 20 years. "This stand-off seems to be Built To Last, we’re afraid that this may be our only way out of the situation in which we find ourselves.That proverb is definitely true for the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers who will face off for the second time this season and the second time in three postseasons Saturday night at Lambeau Field. "Is there – I cannot believe I am honestly asking this – any possibility at all that y’all would be willing to send us three (the number is very important, as there are three cats and we need there to be one extra so we can hopefully get the actual blender out of the box) empty Vitamix boxes?" Gerson-Neeves wrote, adding other cardboard boxes don't have the same appeal. So what does the couple want done? It's not another Vitamix blender, but rather a "stranger but far less expensive request." Empty boxes. Gerson-Neeves posted photos of the cats and ordeal first in the Facebook group "THIS CAT IS C H O N K Y" and has documented the ordeal. The self-dubbed "The Great Vitamix Incident of 2021" and "#Appliancegate" has since become viral. "I think it makes them feel the kind of like king of the hill," Gerson-Neeves told USA TODAY. Gerson-Neeves doesn't know why they are so attached to the box, but she does have a theory. Instead, the couple has just carefully nudged the box around their home to get it out of the way. With the cat-to-human ratio in the household favoring the felines, the couple is "frightened of and unwilling to forcibly relocate the offending cats," so they have yet to even open the box. Two and a half weeks later, Gerson-Neeves said the box has constantly been occupied and under guard by at least one, sometimes two, of her cats. "That was the beginning of the end," she wrote. Gerson-Neeves said seconds after the box was put down, Max, the youngest cat also known as "the sentient soccer ball" and ring leader of the cats, hopped on the box. They were ecstatic about it arriving on their doorstep, so the couple brought it inside and put it on the kitchen floor. The couple saw there was a Black Friday sale on a blender on Amazon and decided to buy it. Gerson-Neeves said she and her wife, Nikii, 38, have long wanted a Vitamix blender. 2 Facebook post, Gerson-Neeves messaged the blender company Vitamix with the "weirdest contact you’ve ever received," detailing the stalemate involving her and her three cats: Max, Lando Calrissian and "George, Destroyer of Worlds." If you don't believe it, just ask Jessica Gerson-Neeves, 40, of Victoria, British Columbia. Adopting the "if I fits, I sits" mantra, cats will find their way into or on top of boxes, and sometimes will drive their owners to the brink of frustration. ![]()
