PLAYOFFS!!!! – Keys to the Game – PLAYOFFS!!!

  • 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.

    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

    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

    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.

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Shanahan’s a pussy. What a fucking waste.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Yeah, we are retarded. Thomas had position and blows chunks.

  15. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    End of first half Kyle reverted to when he had Jimmy G as the QB. Niners should have had a tad before the half.

  16. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Love is making the plays Purdy made all year

  17. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Now that is the offense we all know and love

  18. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

  19. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

  26. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    That was nerve racking

  27. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    To say the least. How the fuck did they pull that off?

  28. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    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.

  29. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Football version of the 2010 Giants, for this game at least.
