MDPucks Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 You don't win many games when you turn the ball over as many times as the Patriots have tonight. Ball security has been terrible tonight from the RB's and Hernandez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDPucks Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 D was torched for 2 TD's when the blitz didn't get to Kapernick. After that its hung-in diecently considering SF keeps getting the ball on the Patriots side of the field. This loss is totally on the butterfingers Patriots offense which has repeatidly shot themselves in the foot putting the ball on the ground.

'7' Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 This is the type of game that the Patriots finally are paying for Gronkowski's absence. Wet crappy weather, physical fast defense. Gronk is the physical answer both receiving and blocking that can neutralize the 49ers physical front. and your team is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 SF is really playing not to lose right now... And yeah, I agree '7'. Might as well gun it as often as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsrule33 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 What a horse sh!t pass interference call. Not sure how a CB covers a receiver anymore. The NFL desperately needs to change that rule. If you fall down a lot of points, just chuck a ton of deep balls with 1-on-1 coverage. You'll get it most of the time.

'7' Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Selling out on the blitz like that on 1st down was a bit puzzling. If you get them on 2nd and long-ish...fine. But on 1st down on your own 35? but the big play was the runback Edited December 17, 2012 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDPucks Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 And that's the reason why Arrington got benched in place of Dennard this season. Now with Dennard out toast Arrington strikes again at CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 And there's the Genius' D we all know and love. I don't get the "genius" bit. He can't play the game, and he isn't a perfect coach. But he has made some outstanding adjustments to get NE back in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Billy Boy's hallmark is supposed to be his defense, his defense has been bad in NE for years. The Niners' defense had a bit of a soft underbelly today too though, between this game and getting lit up by Brees in the playoffs you can throw on them a little, if you have a HOF QB at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did come up with a big stop here though. And they made some others today as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 This game is another great example against the prevent defense. Going into it too early(3rd quarter today!) always leads to these mad scramble comebacks. You don't want crazy momentum to build against you, but as soon as San Fran started to play soft in the 3rd things went bad. Prevent is really only for games where you're up 20-10 in the 4th, 2-3 min to go...and they have the ball on their own 20 or something. Then you let them try to run the clock out trying for one score, waste all their time outs...and if they do score it's basically onside or bust.

CRASHER Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Why in the hell do you not punt there and take your chances on getting the ball back and playing 3 run stops?? Makes more sense then throwing a TERRIBLE pass in this pseudo-soup...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes more sense then throwing a TERRIBLE pass in this pseudo-soup...... You can't trust the Genius' D to keep making stops. You hope your best (Brady) can find a way...with the second half he was having, I can understand why BB thought Brady could get it done. It just didn't happen.

MDPucks Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Patriots ball security in the 1st half and 2nd half special teams (long return at 31-31, plus 3 holding penalties on returns) are square to blame for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I don't like your odds, especially when a slip or any miscue and you hand them the insurance FG....and they stopped the 3 give up run plays after too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) This is why Bill is a great coach. He perfectly executed the "down ten under a minute" play with the spike and field goal. I have seen coaches screw that up dozens and dozens of times. Edit: That was an awful onside kick though.
