Week 10 Defense vs Playoff Defense

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
