As I watched that game last night, close to the rapture at seeing Aarongant Rodgers and his hang dog look, I thought of the Giants when they beat the Cowboys to go on and win their SB and give the Patriots their first loss.
The Cowboys that year had the better talent but not the better ability to play as a team and that's what the Niners put on display against the Rams, Cowboys and now the Packers.
I hope the coaching staff takes a long hard look at that coaching staff and how they stick with it and show incredible patience while probably having the least rated QB, and all around nice guy, in the playoffs. They stick with their plan.
I hope the players look at that and know why they lost that game and why Green Bay lost that game. Because the Niners are a team, they personify team and all of their concentration and focus is on the team when they play. They are of a single purpose.
That was what beat the Cowboys in both of those games, a better team. Not better talent, better teams.
When the Packers went through the Niners defense like a hot knife through butter, did you catch yourself thinking "how would the Cowboys respond to that'? Me too.
In this age of the highly praised and highly paid QB and all about the stars in the game, it is refreshing and reassuring a team can still win games they are picked to lose. They have been a pleasure to watch in these last three games and have got the owners scratching their heads a little bit. They didn't know a team could still do that.
That was a real throwback last night and I enjoyed something I haven't seen in a while, every play mattered. There was drama on every play as the most dangerous QB in the game proved it is still all about the team.
I hope our team takes a look at that team and sees the difference between them as a team and the Niners as a team. Because that's why they lost that game. They lost to a better team.
