Your NFC Divisional Round Tilt, Part One

Let’s get after it.

Packers/Niners:

-These guys are meeting for the 10th time in the postseason which is the most in the league.

-The Big Mystery: Who will be the Packers leading wr today? Love distributes the ball so well (plus injuries) that Doubs was the last player to lead the team two games in a row and that was back in weeks 3 and 4.

-You’d probably not guess it if you were given three chances but it’s Love that leads all ball flingers in QBR since week 10.

-We’ve seen some awful tackling recently and Green Bay will have to wrap up, especially against Deebo who is averaging 8.8 yards after the catch.

-Good News For McCaffrey: The Packers have allowed four teams to rush for 200+ yards this year. He’s mostly responsible for San Fran having top 5 numbers in rushing per game (142.5) and ypc. (4.8)

-Addition by Subtraction?: I get it-rest Aaron Jones as much as possible because he’s an ancient 29 in running back years. Thing is, since A.J. Dillon went down Jones has gone bananas with 100+ yards in four straight games. His success can’t be separated from Love leveling up his game.

-The Niners would like to get the early lead (much like any team of course) and they’ve usually accomplished that by averaging 15.7 points in the first half which is third best. Green Bay trails with 9.9 which is 21st.

-On the surface it would appear that Love has a bit of an issue with INT’s, having thrown 10 this year but actually he showed rapid improvement, having thrown only one in his last nine games.

It’s all you now.
