Week 10 Defense vs Playoff Defense

[DaveThePanther2008]

Week 10's defense was pretty dominate and hard to match  I do believe the additional 7 weeks has really made our defense better than week 10.  6 sacks and we harassed CK all day long.  They are a bit healthier than week 10 but so are we. 

 

Davis and Kuechly are playing POY levels.   Hardy is not the same Hardy from week 10.   I think he is at a very high level right now. I believe he has 2+ sacks against the 49ers.  Joe Staley or no Joe Staley.   DB's are holding their own barring a complete meltdown we should be ok.  I also think McDermott is going to have a great game plan.   Don 

 

I think McD will have a great game plan and will make CK have a rough day.  (of course it will be his fault instead of the defenses doing)

 

The total lack of respect is going to have this defense focused as hell.   I just saw on NFL Network where all of the commentators chose CK over Cam.  Some based on his overwhelming years of playoff experience (3 whole games)  And of course their road win against a highly depleted defense in GB.

 

IMO this defense is going to really put on a show Sunday afternoon.   I think we get 17 points from our Offense we should win.

We handled offenses like the Saints and Patriots....the SF offense isn't even in the same league as those two.

You know they are going to try and do some quick stuff to get around the pass rush.

 

 Just to throw a curve ball and send the message that they have no idea what to expect, I want to see an early look where everyone drops back in a zone coverage except 1 rusher - Star or Hardy (someone that can beat a double). Everyone should be covered up and the defense should be facing the qb to prevent a qb run worth anything.

 

Then back to you basic d-slangin, skull fuggin, and normal defensive debauchery.

i know right. this week it dragging BAD. haha

[DaveThePanther2008]

Sounds like it would be an interesting concept but I think a QB that scrambles will eventually find someone open.   What I saw on a play they were discussing on CK was he likes to go to his right and throw.  We will try and make him run left as it is harder for him to throw going left.

Nobody mentions this but the 49ers have a bit of an advantage as they are a playoff hardened team.  This is the third year in a row that a vast majority of this team has won in the playoffs, so they know what it takes, and have the confidence of a team who has already been there.  Now not to say carolina will be pissing down their leg, but that the 49ers are just more seasoned and preparead for this situation.  Doesnt mean carolina wont play tough though, as the 49ers in their first playoffs in nearly a decade went to the NFCC.   But, this could make a real difference, the mentality of the 49ers.

I'm not so much worried about holding San Fran to a low score. It's our offense that has to pick it up. We won't win with 10 points

[cbully]

I think that Ravens tape will be helpful to us beating them this week! Either way calling us the underdog works in our favor as it has done all year!

Our 03 team had a lot of guys who hadn't played a playoff game as well. We went to the Super Bowl.

Experience is good, but not a game changer. Sorry.

I really would like a playoff game like the giants years back. That would be awesome.

You guys are typical homer fans. Looking at all if these"soft" things and claiming they give you the advantage.

A homer fan? Because i think having playoff experience vs a team who doesnt being an advantage, that makes me a homer?  There is nothing soft about a team who has 'been there' playing a team who hasnt.  I didnt say it would influence the outcome of the game.  It's as much as an advantage for the 49ers as carolina playing at home is for them.   Neither of those two factors will probably end up influencing who wins, but both clearly offer advantages in given situations.   Most noteably because the playoffs are a whole other animal compared to the regular season, and the 49ers have a bunch of guys who already know.  That's all that is, and that offers an advantage, whether you agree or not.  If NFL players are saying it, i will go with them over what you say on here.
