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

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.Thought MLF would just play for the FG in the first half. But you could see they saw something on film.

The first one he was wide open and had an easy touchdown. The pass was perfect. Watson doesn't track the ball well on long passes and doesn't adjust his body correctly when the ball is in flight. The difference between Doubs and Watson in their receiving skills is night and day.Yeah, I think you must be right, but I'm not seeing it yet.

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.

The Big Ugly Guys did a hell of a job today; they should be proud.Stud: Josh Jacobs and those 5 OL just beat the crap out of SF. Sean Rhyan, Yes, Josh Myers and Jenkins just bullied the SF interior.
Watson has tremendous downhill speed. MLF tends to believe that any one of his guys can win a one on one battle. Some of the plays appear to be low % throws.The Niners were not able to make a pick. Evidence the double coverage on Doubs when he suffered his concussion resulting in an interference penalty. If we were playing the Vikings I doubt we try to take those shots unless the game was on the line.Yeah, I think you must be right, but I'm not seeing it yet.
