- Turnovers
- Penalties
- Tackling
The 49ers won a lot of games this year by winning these battles. And the games we lost were where we lost these battles. The 3 game losing streak saw a bunch of turnovers from Brock and Co, mis-timed fumbles, poor tackling, and lazy penalties. They were a team in desperate need of that bye week. And they righted the ship after the bye, cranking off 6 wins in a row.
This gives me hope as the Niners got healthy during this two-bye week break. Having Hargraves and AA in the interior is a huge difference over Kinlaw and Givens (who gave up 235 yards to the Cards).
Steve Wilks knows that Green Bay will use their quick passing game to get quick yards. Play action. Misdirection runs. You know, our offense. The hope is practicing against it will give us the edge, but it cuts both ways. They are gonna run all their pre-snap motion to confuse, but we just need to swarm the ball and hit. Make the tackle.
Watching Philly and Dallas candy-ass their way out of the playoffs, it was a clinic on missing tackles and committing lazy penalties. Dak was Dak and threw his usual 2 interceptions per playoff game, and Philly looked like they were late for a tee time and just stupided themselves out of the game. Funny, the Eagles beat the Bucs running the ball earlier in the season so naturally they ran the ball 4 times in the 1st half.
Derp. Sirianni has to wear that. As well as McCarthy and his woefully unprepared Cowboys. So, naturally, they are rewarded with extensions!!
The Niners have been all over the place penalty-wise. Mooney Ward started the year collecting PI calls like S&H green stamps, but settled down. Dre Greenlaw is always riding on the edge of a personal foul or 3, but it hasn’t flipped any of our games.

Then of course is the usual war in the trenches. Pass rush, pass rush, pass rush. Harass Love, and drive him into the ground.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
First how does everyone feel about Moody? I am good to go with him. He said in an interview that when he missed that kick in Cleveland, fans broke into his pay pal and demanded he cover their bets. God people are stupid. The thing the Defense needs to get back to is good tackling. Some sports analyst noticed that Warner was missing tackles due to trying to get the ball out. With that said. Because of the rain Niners 21-10
I just hope he can kick in the rain.
Oh and what an ahole for Chumar to come out and say to get a late hit penalty to get Purdy out of the game
GB has a similar offense to ours with their HC from the O tree under Mike Shanahan. Expect a high percentage of outside zone runs which our front seven sees in practice. GB is supposedly shying.away from the inside zone which we do so well with AA back.
only thing I was worried about was Brock in the rain, he sure didn’t hold the ball or throw it accurately in the rain in Cle. But then I decided GB defense is average, we’re gonna run it right down their throat. Big game for CMC tonight. I’m feeling 38-10, maybe 38-17
Tis raining lightly but steadily right now where I am in South Bay, just other side of 280.
Purdy sucks in the rain. Period, end of story.
I don’t think we score that much but I think we stop them more than they stop us.
Run run run CMC. 27-13 Niners. I had higher numbers before but that was before the weather report.
Unc btw had 5 out of 6 right last week.
If you can hold GB running game with Jones in check I think they can pressure Love.
Slippery field supposed to give edge to receivers and offense, right? Since they know where they are going.
Romeo Doubs, who lit up the girls last week, was cool player I saw play few times at Nevada. But I don’t think they have anyone w skill set Niners do. Let skill guys do what they can do, behind Williams and co.
What a great season it has been so far 49er football hasn’t looked this good for quite awhile. Not gonna predict the score but I do expect to win this one.
Going to be windy, hope Moody is prepared
Weathers holding up fine right now , no rain, no wind, field looks great! LETS ROLL!!!
Time to kick some Packers Asses!!!
49ers 34-20!!!
Here we fucking GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
get on ’em early. Pound them down.
RUN THE FUCKING BALL!!!
Well, there you go.
Shanahan’s a pussy. What a fucking waste.
Yeah, we are retarded. Thomas had position and blows chunks.
End of first half Kyle reverted to when he had Jimmy G as the QB. Niners should have had a tad before the half.
Love is making the plays Purdy made all year
Now that is the offense we all know and love
WTF WAS THAT!
The Niner defense is embarrassing themselves
Stupid penalties and Bock looks bad.
They needed that
What is wrong with Purd? He is playing nervous
Just fucking wow.
This team is unbelievable. Nothing comes easy.
🫣
That was nerve racking
To say the least. How the fuck did they pull that off?
Jesus Christ!!! Unreal win against a really tough team. jesus, that was tough.
Barely deserved that one, but Shanny gets his first 4th quarter win.
Football version of the 2010 Giants, for this game at least.
I was thinking the same thing.
Looks like the NFC North is gonna a powerhouse in the coming years.
That last pass by Love was horrible. Great play by Greenlaw, but Warner might’ve gotten it if Dre didn’t.
It’s starting to look like wet weather is Purdy’s Kryptonite.
I don’t know, only 2nd game in the rain? Cleveland and now a home game. He just admitted the rain was tough for him
He played in the rain in Iowa, and he took the glove off after the first drive.
I wonder if it was the inactivity. I did want Purdy to play the first quarter in the Commie game. But hey, as long as he learns from this and the fucking line blocks better.
That was fucking nuts. I’m at home and still I was standing in front of the tv the whole 4th quarter.
That game could have went either way. To win a game like that has to strengthen the teams attitude and also give a dose of reality. I bet this coming weeks practice will be a little more intense. With the weather and sitting for a couple of weeks we were a little sloppy.
The Niners played like shit on all sides. Bad offense, bad defense, bad special teams, and they still figured out how to win.
For all of the great plays Love and Green Bay made, he lost that game for them. Purdy could have had a couple picks, but we got the turnovers.
Greenlaw is the man of the hour.
Can’t believe Shanahan didn’t trust his run game more, despite GB packing the box.
When I saw it was raining, I just figured we would lose. Purdy sucks in the rain. It is why they measure hands in the combine. He absolutely sucks in the rain. The fact that he pulled of that last drive, in the rain, is a testament that the game is not too fast for him. It was incredibly impressive. We need a dome for this QB. LOL!
Breen Bay will be a top 4 Super Bowl favorite next year. I honestly believe that they are tougher than TB or Detroit. Add the rain and that we lost Debo, I am surprised we won. This will go down as a special win in our history if we go all the way.
With any luck Deebo won’t miss the NFCG next weekend –

Next Gen stats showed Dre ran 101yds to net 25.
A Fran Tarkenton-like moment worth it’s weight in gold.
Game ball recipient if ever there was one.
And without a doubt….
Misery is a wet Purdy 😁
Yep. Here’s to hoping the weather improves next week. Otherwise we don’t have home field advantage.
Got to hope Deebo doesn’t have another hairline fracture of his shoulder.
Papa and Ryan on radio referenced The Catch game, where Montana and Niners had bunch of turnovers but won it in the end. Purdy last drive was epic one they needed They talked to Greenlaw post game and he said he changed cleats as it got slippery out there for D.
118 for Jones on ground, but if you take out the big gainer it was 55 on 17 carries. Niners only ran the ball 4 fewer times than GB. Did convert 10-16 on 3rd down and most other overall stats very even, except for turnovers. I think GB left quite an impression on them. Dunno if TB or Lions are as good or as well coached.
Shanahan gets comeback gorilla off his back too.
That article about Deebo is encouraging, thanks for posting it Berger. He’s one guy they can ill afford to lose. The entire offense looks different when he’s out.
To quote Neil Young Rust Never Sleeps,well it sure did in this game as the long lay-off sure affected them early on with way too many penalties that the Packers took advantage of.
That said they won the turnover battle 2-0 due to Dre “please get down” Greenlaw huge interceptions and a stuff on Love on a tush push ending another drive deep in their territory!
Greenlaw was the difference all night, and Purdy still came through on the final drive with CMC capping it off, with the player of the game Greenlaw sealing it in the end with his 2nd pick!
Just glad to move on and pray the RUST wears off now next week!!
Sorry about the commercial but this is worth listening to IMO
Only you get the commercial, Winder!
Thanks, I guess I stay on YouTube to long and they figure I need one.
Taking one for the team . . . !
TB starting to impose their will on the Lions.
Surprising.
Goff has some real ugly throws so far.
Lions coming to town..TB had to many defensive injuries and couldn’t keep up. All I can say is we better play better next week or we are in trouble.
I’m sure we will.
Bass Baldy could’ve kicked that better.
One step closer to the rematch!
Hah!!!!!! Hey DJ! Good to see ya.
Thanks, Unca Chuck.
Amazing that I’ve still never met you and so many others after all these years…
I know, still trying to get out to New York one of these days.
9-10 in playoff predictions.
Buffalo gets another wide right. Ouch.
Wide right is a very happy memory for huge NY Giant fan Mac Dog. He texted me before the ball landed. Hope you guys are all okay!
Yep. It set the NFL back 20 years but Big Tuna got the win. Good to see you in touch with Mac.
