Jacobs - Enough said already. Maybe the best game of his career, and that's saying a lot.
I didn't know Lacy's mother name was KFC.
That's an honest assessment.
McCaffrey may not be physically 100%, after 11 games no one is. It was clear to me that he is still an extraordinary football player. He does so many of the intricate details so well. On the other side of the coin, Samuels flat out surrendered. He's still dangerous, but he showed yesterday he can be just as dangerous to his own team as he is to the opponent. I love seeing opponents channel their inner Calvin Ridley like that.
McCaffrey has only been back for the last three games due to bilateral achilles tendonitis.
He was well on his way yesterday until Watson's internal GPS went on the fritz again on a perfectly thrown bomb, and Love even managed earlier to work around ANOTHER clown car major penalty by Jenkins. I don't think LaFleur did him any favors by trying to go deep right after Watson's 7 point disaster. He should have settled for better field goal position imo. He had time for two quick passes to get closer and give McManus a reasonably good shot at 3.
Samuels is weak upstairs.
That was a sweet pass to Watson, drop or not. And for the most part, Love seemed to have much of his command back versus the first half of the season. He's been out or playing hurt for a long time. He seems a lot healthier now.
He's older, slower (OK that called-back kickoff return was solid) and a far cry from the Swiss knife he had been. I'm a little surprised at how quickly he's regressed. For a number of years the guy was a real force. Not so much these days.
He is really becoming a weapon, a guy who has to be accounted for by the opposing D. I noted on one replay that he chipped right after the snap, and then just slid left, caught a pass for a decent gain just short of a TD. He can do a lot of things very well.
I have to be honest, I thought Quay played one of his better games. Led the team in tackles and should have had an INT. I don't blame defenders for dropping picks. He at least gave himself a shot at it by being in the right position.
Leading the team in TD receptions.
Even without some of their players the 9ers are a good team with an excellent coach. I believe we caught them in the perfect week. But we are a pretty good team ourselves. No one has really rolled over us.
Q did do some good things. But I could not believe he did not back up to defend that Kittle TD. I mean, he wasn't guarding anyone. Does Hafley tell him to just stay there no matter what?
Holding any 9er team to 44 yards rushing is phenomenal. For years their offensive line along with their FB gave them a consistently strong running game. Remember that 20 of those rushing yards came late on McCaffrey's fumble.
Lot better.
This is why I have nothing to do with the internet, or sites, including our own here, during games. I watch the game, and try to pick out the specific things that I need to be seeing on each play. I don't have time to whine and cry, or make snide comments about how a player is playing or how Le Fleur did something wrong, or hearing comments about "cut the guy, he's worthless."
He saw a receiver underneath that appeared to have separated from the Packer defender and it instinctively caused him to look that way. And with a back up QB like Allen you sometimes think he cannot make that throw. But Kittle can catch even the bad throws.
FYI Stokes has pretty much been replaced this season … he is only out there when they have no other choice.
