McCarthy is too QB-centric.  He was the same at GB but because Rodgers was so good, it always looked like it might work

And it did work early (SB win) and then we'd get close but ultimately our all-round game (lack of) got found out

And I'm not sure that Prescott is as good as Rodgers so it is a flawed strategy

To me it's when it gets to crunch time or the big moments.  McCarthy leans on the QB but here lies the problem, the opposition know it so the bluff is taken out

Dallas passing yards was 3rd in the league and they were 14th for rushing

Run defence was 16th and passing defence was 5th

So not too shabby but do SB winning teams lie mid table on rushing & run defence?  You'd maybe expect at least top 10 for both categories in order to win big

By contrast, the 49ers are 3rd in rushing and 3rd best on run defence.  Passing yards 6th & pass defence 14th

Tactical aspect of the game very important. Run game crucial (for e.g Ravens run defence were a brick wall just now against Texans) You have to have a plan fit for purpose. no arguments there. 

but you have to heart for the battle as well. The Cowboys are feeble when it comes to ticker. as soon the game isn't going their way, they fold. It's been happening for years. And McCarthy won't change it at this stage. 

P.S. are you feeling confident? Rolling the powder puff cowboys is one thing, shutting down Purdy and co is another thing entirely. I can't see anything other than 49ers win here.

    Fair enough

    The Ravens were excellent today and completely dismantled Houston.  Tougher next week vs KC or the Bills, but they're looking good 

    Packers get a 3 pointer on the first drive of the game.  Not bad we're going to need TD's against this opposition

    Think the Packers will take this start. Looking calm. 

    Niners haven't settled yet. Playcalling not suiting the weather.

    Fundamental errors, Packers taking their chances. A score here would really send a message

    2 redzone moments for GB for 3 points (as opposed to a possible 14 points)

    Your run defence held firm

    And GB don't have the push-tush play!

    49er defence has come up with 2 red zone stops. Huge.

    and while I understand the need for TD's i would have taken the 3 points there.

    On the road and in the playoffs, you've got to go for it and then back in your defence to make a stop with the 49ers having to go 86 yards for a TD

    Only trouble was that we couldn't stop them!

    What a throw from Love. Very few in the league could make that especially in this weather

    superb 49er red zone defence

    defence wins championships.

    Finally got some good pressure on Love. 

    It's gonna be a hard game, who can limit more damage in the red zone?

    Don't know what is happening with Deebo, no report yet.

  • Quote

    Deebo questionable but looking more like out. Huge blow as even when he doesn't have the ball he's useful running motions and decoy plays. 

  • Quote

    A blocked field goal attempt could be telling (or not)

    49ers get the ball to start the 2nd half so GB will need to hold them out again

    The difference so far has been the 49ers redzone defence.  Packers need to find a way through

  • Quote

    Excellent block from Wooden on the line, gives the Packers a lift in a very tough game.

    For the Niners I thought Shanahan was too cagey on that drive and looked scared of giving the ball back. That's the time to take a risk.

    wow. stone wall pass interference call sets up the TD and its game on.

    Brutal PI and Ambrey Thomas has been doing it all night. Love finds Melton in the endzone from 20 yards. They're in this with a huge chance now.

  • Quote

    Was just about to comment on the 49ers run and then it emerges big time.  Looked a bit too easy too

    And now a fumble recovered after an excellent run back!  Lucky

  • Quote

    Poor throw by Love there.  Timing to the WR was out.  Still, you often have to take risks to win

  • Quote

    Another throw where Love's timing was out.  Could have been an interception

    49ers get the ball back with 13 minutes to play

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
