Offensively, this is the most balanced game I've seen all year, and McCarthy called all the right plays at the right times.

Defensively, the swagger was lost after the injuries.

I disagree.

I think in the 1st half he was terrific. Then got soft. Had the Niners against the ropes and failed to deliver the knock out punch. Instead, we won on points when the bell rang when we should have gone for the knock out.

He did not get soft.

For once he stuck with the gameplan and stayed with the run. He stayed with the run even with Ryan Grant fumbling the handoff. That takes dedication and confidence.

If anything, you should give the Packers more flack for being unable to execute on third downs as much as they usually do--especially the first half

"Instead, we won on points when the bell rang when we should have gone for the knock out."

That's called grinding the clock.

I beg to differ.
McCarthy started trying to run out the clock as soon as the Packers got the ball in the second half.
Defensively I agree with you. Injuries took a toll and anytime you are depending on Bush to cover it's tough going..
We did run the ball pretty well against their highly rated rushing defense though.

afreakinmen, yoopie. it'd be nice if he'd at LEAST wait til we're at the 50 before he starts running out the clock. doing it from our own 15 = stupid.

MM does tend to start calling prevent offense calls. I hate the prevent defense. Same rules apply for the prevent offense, they change what they were doing that was working in favor for a more conservative game plan.

yep - i don't recall mccarthy ever having the "go for the jugular" attitude.

it's always the "what can we do to keep the lead & take as much time off the clock".

one of the things he & i disagree on. lol.

Well 4Pack - I'm in your camp. I like to completely annihilate a team and make sure they're dead. At 23-3 with a half to play, the Niners weren't dead.

I think it was a little bit of everything. The lead we had made the players get soft and the play-calling became conservative. I believe we went to running the clock out a little too early in the game. Add to that the fact that we lost two pro bowl players on defense and you have your recipe for disaster. Luckily we escaped with this one.

Say what you will about the offense and pass coverage, but it was like we completely abandoned any serious pass rush in the second half. It seemed like we had 5+ blitzers 80% of the time in the first half, and 30% of the time in the second. I understand that once Harris went down you need to give Bush some safety help and that messes up some of the more exotic blitzes, but hell, can't we afford to rush 5 instead of sitting back and waiting for the opposing QB to pull the trigger when he sees someone open?

Cumulative scoring by quarter for the Packers this season:

1st: 69
2nd: 95
3rd: 23
4th: 77

There is definitely a significant drop-off in scoring in the 3rd quarter. 7 games with no scoring in the 3rd quarter while 17 of 23 3rd quarter points were against the Vikings at Lambeau.

Maybe we'd have a better record if we scored a little more in the 3rd quarter and then ran out the clock in the 4th.
