I was gonna make a winners and losers thread, but I figured we are all well aware of who the losers are.

Instead, I figured I'd talk about some guys who played well this week, and who would've, if not for a gigantic Meltdown by some *other* players/coaches, would've been key components in a win for us today.

1. Dan Connor, MLB.

Wow. What a day this guy had. He was all over the field and looked like an All-Pro out there. He had a sack, and was right there stopping Eli on that QB sneak (which, regardless of whatever BS call the refs made-did stop him before he crossed the LoS)

2. Mike Goodson, RB.

Mike proved that he can be a great utility player in this offense. He's a fast threat, who can come out of the backfield, line up in the slot, catch the ball and make plays with it. Not to mention he was a force on KR's today, and came close to breaking a few.

3. John Kasay, K.

Well, the old man's still got it. Reliable as always, including a booming 52 yarder right down the middle.

4. Dwayne Jarrett, WR.

Once again, the man proves he's reliable. Seriously people, what more do you want from a number 2 guy? He catches the ball. Every time. Let the man play.

5. Steve Smith, WR.

In case you didn't see the game, well, the answer is yes-he's still really, really good.

A few more come to mind, but I'll let you guys put some down should you choose to accept this mission.

Remember: No Losers. We all know who the losers are. *Looks at Todd Carter*

Line Backing Crew: For the most part of the game (What was in their ability) kept everything in front of them and slowed down the Giants rushing attack

Sherrod Martin: Aside from his partner's atrocious play. Sherrod kept the entire right side of field locked down (aside from Gambles screw-ups) and made his tackles.

Good Game.

Special Teams: The category that I was already willing to name the worst in the league, was surprisingly the most dominant today. Constantly giving the Offense great opportunities to score (which they failed to do so)

Great Game.

Mike Goodson: What can you say, the guy is the ultimate Ace in the hole. Which gives this team some kind of spark in whatever position he's filling.

Excellent Game, Mr. Mike Goodson.

Steve Smith: Had one rookie drop, but showed why he is this team's Franchise Player.

A shame such a great effort was put to waste.

Once again? At what point in Jarrett's career with us has he been reliable?

Idk, maybe someone who can get open...be a scoring threat...run correct routes...make defenses respect him? Any of that would be fantastic.

When have you ever seen Jarrett run a wrong route?

Myth.

I will always take a guy who will consistently make the catch when thrown to over a guy will drop most every ball that comes his way, only to then get on Twitter so he can tell us that "d3m deng ballz Iz F4ist h3re in thE Souf Syd of Joisey!! Holl4 at ya boi!!"

Lafell dropped one ball today, so did steve. Lafell drew a 30 yd pass interference penalty that put us on like the 5. Who cares if he takes 5 seconds to tweet AFTER the game. Sheesh. Oh yea, not to mention that was his first game.

"LaFell has some skill deficiencies that he will need to overcome at the next level in the NFL. LaFell drops balls that should be caught and has appeared to run the wrong routes more than a few times in his last season."

As you can see, dropping the ball is not a new thing for Brandon.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
