who are duds?

 

[Thirteen Below]

STUDS:

Jacobs (of course). Broke the Niner's 44-game streak of not allowing a 100-yard rusher, and scored 3 TDs (tied his career high). The game plan relied on him to carry the team, and he did it.

Matt Lafleur. This was a good game plan, and he had them ready to execute it (for the most part). I wasn't crazy about those three pass plays at the ernd ofg the 1st half, though.

The D. They dominated most of the game, and took the ball away 3 times.

The whole team. They stepped up, rose to the challenge, and smacked the bejeebus out of one of their biggest rivals - a team that's had our number for most of the last 30 years. This probably eliminates San Francisco from the playoffs, and I think I saw that this was the largest margin of victory ever in a Packer win over the Niners.

The Packers had a job to do, and they did it, dominating time of possession 36-23.

DUDS:

Not many... Quay Walker, for saying "excuse me sir" and jumping out of the way for George Kittle to score an easy TD.

Can't really think of many others at the moment, i'm too happy to be critical.

I've got to hand it to Love for not throwing an interception this week, even though he tried really hard to.

Thought MLF would just play for the FG in the first half. But you could see they saw something on film. For Watson to be that open when you are playing kind of a prevent surprised me.

 

[Don Barclay]

Studs: Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams, who have doublehandedly turned safety play into the joy it is meant to be when your dudes are excellent. And honorable stud to Javon Bullard for this game too, he seemed to be everywhere when he needed to be.

Studs - Jacobs, McKinney, Kraft, team defense

Duds - Watson, whiners on the game thread who don't seem to understand the opponent has real, live football players too.

I cannot emphasize this DUD more. I’m fine with other teams being ignorant to basic football truths but can we not have it in our fanbase?

Duds - the 49'er faithful who normally drop by to impart their pre-game wit and wisdom were nowhere to be seen this week. Perhaps they'll stop by and fill us in on how much better the 9'ers are than their record indicates.

Studs: Game balls for everyone - good team win. Given the circumstances the 9'ers found themselves in, the Pack won convincingly - as they should have. I'm tired of beat up teams coming in and putting up the "gallant effort" only to fall short because they ran out of time.

I thought Van Ness made a boneheaded play lining up in the neutral zone. Well before the snap I told my wife that the guy is offside. Now he did force a fumble. Fortunate, that Purdy did not play.

Studs:
1. Jacobs : self explanatory, he was the man today
2. MLF's Game Plan : Didn't abandon the run (42 runs today), 5-5 in the Red Zone
3. Defense : 10 pts allowed, 3 turnovers, 2 Sacks, 2 4th down stops, less than 250 yds in offense allowed, only 44 yds rushing on 16 carries.

Duds: No Duds, just some Dud plays
1. Watson TD drop: would have been a huge answer after the 49ers TD before the half.
2. Enagbare and Van Ness both lining up offsides.... that just is inexcusable
3. The next 2 plays after Watson's drop... they did not need to throw deep 3 plays in a row. They had 2 timeouts, and needed about 12 yds for a comfortable FG try.

This was a good team win that they needed to have. This win almost cements a playoff spot, and all you need is a ticket to the dance and hope you get hot at the right time.

Yeah, I think you must be right, but I'm not seeing it yet. I just rewatched those 3 snaps 4 or 5 times on NFL Network, and I wasn't able to figure out how he was getting open. He didn't have much separation, but at least 2 of those balls were catchable.

So I'm not sure what the defense was giving him - the pre-snap formations looked like they had good coverage called. I'd like to watch it again Monday or Tuesday when the All-22 is up.

Studs: Jacobs, duh. LaFleur had some very creative inside runs. Bullard. McKinney. Kraft. Doubs was on his way. But glad to see Heath take over where he left off.

 

[Magooch]

Studs:
Jacobs
Doubs
LaFleur for being patient with his game plan
Defense in general, but…

Duds:
Pass rush still seems generally ineffective
Huge drop by Watson
Love has shown some great flashes but still generally hasn’t been looking like a 50m+/yr quarterback
