Den 26-17
GB 21-20
ATL 22-20
NE 30-20

3-1 ATS last week only because Mike Shanahan apparently shaves points along with shaving about 7 years off RG3s career.

Wouldnt it be nice to see Tramon cover someone? Maybe a tackle, and by tackle, i don’t mean giving a receiver a shoulder by the sideline. I think Tramon could do well in watching tape of Casey Hayward. But then again, With the recent draft of D backs and a draft coming up. I don’t see any justification in keeping Tramon and his salary around, he’s now more of a liability than an asset.

Carlos Rodgers, Dashon Goldston, Donte Whitner, Tyrel Brown… I wouldn’t exactly say the 49ers are weak on the back end.

They struggle to get to the QB if Aldon Smith gets blocked, and no secondary can be left without a pass rush.

Most games come down to players against players, not coach against coach. The 49ers don’t rely on a lot of trickery or quantum physics to play defense. They stop the run with their front 7, rarely blitz, and drop 7 guys on pass plays. Those 7 guys include linebackers and safeties who play well together and cover a lot of ground.

And most of all, they play PHYSICAL.

The Packers win if Marshall Newhouse has a reasonable game against Aldon Smith, and Aaron Rodgers does what he is capable of. Rodgers needs to get rid of the ball against that 2 deep, dumping it down to Harris when the linebackers drop deep.

The 49ers don’t rely on the read-option to move their offense, though they do have the QB to run it. Kaepernick is completely willing to throw it, and I am more concerned with his ability to run from the pocket on passing downs than I am with the read option.

Kaepernick has a fixation with Michael Crabtree, who has kind of broken out ever since Smith was sent to the bench. If Tramon can cover and tackle Crabtree, the Packer defense will be fine.

But the key is still the Packer offense. They have to move the ball and NOT turn it over. If the San Fran defense wins that battle, the Packers lose.

I disagree with MM not making adjustments. Many games this year the Packers went in to halftime down and came out the 2nd half and took care of business. It took me about 1/2 the season to stop yelling at the TV in the first half knowing that he would adjust in the second. I’ll agree some of his calls have been questionable, but adjustments…I think he’s been mostly money.

I believe if we win this game, we are SB Champs.

The keys to the game are as simple as they’ve been all season. O-line & Defense.

GO PACK GO!

I won’t call him a buffoon but he does seem to have trouble making in-game adjustments. Or rather, he’s really stubborn about making changes.

Really, McCarthy usually loses the coaching battle?
Want to ask Reid, Smith, Smith, and Tomlinson?
How about Childress, Frazier, Schwartz , ect etc etc.
Show te man some respect.
