Now let me preface this that I do like Mike Mcarthy but why when this team dominates a first half do they tend to flatten out. Is it playcalling? Effort? Or inability/stubborness to change tendancies? I just get such a bad feeling when we punch a team in the mouth knock em down and suddenly in the second half that team comes storming back. It happened in Tampa. It happened today in Lambeau. (Outcome still in question)
Just getting fed up.

It happened a lot last year too. We'd have productive first halves and virtually no scoring in the second half.

---

It certainly makes it harder to be a championship team if we continue to go on cruise control in the 2nd half.

---

Oh I know it pisses me off. Play like crap in the first half come out on fire. Dominate come out flat.

---

Another huge special teams gaffe.

---

Thing is it is way past Special team gaffs While it hurt it is emblematic of the way this team has been. UP DOWN UP DOWN.
It is not about the team being on Cruise control hell I would take that. This team tends to be like a light swith it is either on or off.

---

McCarthy went conservative and played not to lose.
It was a win despite an epic collapse.

Sack on 3rd and 2 was unacceptable, as was the 75 yard kickoff return after we scored to go up 30-10. The whole team was taking it easy in the 2nd half, as were the fans (apparently it just turned into a "party" there by halftime).

---

So he went Childress on us? Great.

---

.... Not really.

We lost Al and Kampman, leaving us with 4 rookies on the field: Mathews, Jones, Underwood (on dime), and Raji (on some downs). Add to that we had Jared Bush as our nickel/outside CB.


In addition, The 49ers finally opened their playbook and started looking for Crabtree and Davis. Their TD catches were extremely good work on offense (great throws + catches) as opposed to bad D.

The O needs to find its rhythm and put up points in the second half, and the STs need to cover better (again, giving up long return at key point)..... but give the 49ers credit as oppose to blaming Mike McCarthy entirely.
