I do not disagree with you Pakrz, but what's a bit painful for me is the fact that we are so close as you pointed out, and da clock is ticking on AR's career. I would like to see at least one more SB for AR!!! Call me spoiled - I do not care, but please know I appreciate the fact that I am able to be spoiled.

The problem is, part that of that equation (Bounces and health), has to do with luck and top-notch strength & conditioning. A lot of things have to fall into place to win the big one.

Check out the following 2 strength and conditioning exercises you can implement with this ancient tool to take your game to all new heights.

1. The Dual Kettlebell Clean, Squat, And Jerk: For this particular strength and conditioning drill you will need the availability of a pair of kettlebells of moderate resistance. Set the bells down between your feet. Properly perform a kettlebell clean racking the bells at your chest. Next, perform a front squat with the kettlebells. Now make sure you don't allow the bells to pull you forward and off balance. Stabilize your body and lower yourself enough to touch the insides of your knees with your elbows. Once you ascend explosively extend at your hips and knees to create the necessary momentum to press or jerk the kettlebells to a locked out position above your head.

2. The Dual Kettlebell See Saw Presses: For this exercise you will be concentrating on developing some Herculean shoulders. Once again properly clean the bells to your chest. Press one bell overhead. Now as you lower the first pressed bell start to press the second kettlebell before you allow the first bell to come to rest. You see the objective is to continuously alternate pressing the bells without allowing one to come to complete rest, hence the name see saw press. These exercises are perfect for any serious football player, but especially beneficial to the collegiate and NFL strength and conditioning programs! If you haven't included kettlebell training into your personal fitness and strength program then you are missing out. Remember that anyone can train hard, but only champions train smart my friend!

I will start to lose some confidence going forward if I start hearing the song and dance from the coaching staff about Hawk. The staff tends to paint a picture about how reliable he is and how he's the man at getting the defense lined up,etc. Yet, every year it's the same thing with the guy. He has zero instincts and makes zero plays.

He needs to be released and replaced IMO. Finding a stud S to play opposite Burnett would be nice too.

Williams is due a $5.9 million base salary in 2013 (and $6.9 million in 2014). The Packers can’t afford to keep him at that number if he isn’t starting.

Points more toward the players and less toward Capers.

Total View: Packers vs. 49ers, Playoff Edition
totalpackers.com

8:06, 1st quarter — The Packers have been bad to start most games and great following the half this season, which has led me to wonder if the drive after the half is the one they actually script. Regardless, the Packers once again go three and out to start a game.

On 1st down, Aaron Rodgers finds Greg Jennings on a 7-yard hitch. On 2nd down, Rodgers fakes it to DuJuan Harris when he should have given it to him, and then throws it away in Harris’ general direction. On 3rd-and-3, Rodgers has all day to throw, but tries the well-covered quick out to John Kuhn, throwing it wide of the mark.

...

11:50, 2nd quarter — The Packers force a relatively easy stop on 3rd-and-12 near midfield and have all the momentum with a 14-7 lead. This abruptly changes when Jeremy Ross muffs the following punt and the 49ers recover at the Packers’ 9-yard line.

The Packers defense was at least in position to force a field goal when the 49ers faced 3rd-and-goal from the 12. The Packers rushed just four again. There still is no spy, but at least this time they are wary of the scramble and are sitting in zone with everyone watching Kaepernick.

Well, almost everyone. Woodson follows Vernon Davis on the out and completely vacates the middle. Crabtree runs an in from the outside, catches a pass at the 11 and goes untouched for an easy score to make it 14-14. The fact that neither safety was anywhere near the play after lining up in the middle of the field doesn’t speak well for either of them.

...

2:58, 3rd quarter — In an ominous sign for the Packers, their drive after the half is a three and out.

After two hard runs by Harris got 5 yards, the Packers faced 3rd-and-5 from their 32. The 49ers brought Patrick Willis and dropped Aldon Smith into coverage. The Packers have only James Jones not running a deep route and he ends up double covered by Smith and Brown.

Even though the 49ers are rushing four against six blockers, Willis beats Kuhn and sacks Rodgers. Given another second, Rodgers could have found Greg Jennings, who was breaking open deep down field.

...

8:25, 3rd quarter — The Packers drive 76 yards in nine plays, but only get a field goal to tie the game at 24.

On 3rd-and-6, Rodgers strangely calls timeout while still in the huddle. The Packers would come back from the timeout, see a different defense from San Francisco and promptly false start to face 3rd-and-11.

...

5:08, 3rd quarter — Needing a response, the Packers get one 1st down before having to punt it away.

Even though the Packers are only down one score at this point, this possession features six passing plays.

On 3rd-and-6 from the 41, the 49ers play that same defense, dropping seven and rushing four. However, the two deep look is a ruse. At the snap, Whitner rotates to the deep middle while Goldson jumps up to double Finley, who’s running the post from the slot. Even though Goldson, Whitner and Navarro Bowman have Finley triangulated, Rodgers, with plenty of time to throw, tries for Finley only to have Bowman knock it down.

...

Kaepernick’s running was the key to the game. The 49ers had just one scoring drive that relied on him throwing the football — their second to last. Especially baffling is the first half plan that included not just a four-man rush and no spy, but also man-to-man coverage underneath with two deep safeties. This was an invitation for Kaepernick to run and he did — for a record 107 yards in just that half.

The Packers should show more balance with having DuJuan Harris for an entire season. Not only was his touchdown run impressive, but something virtually unnoticed from this game is that the Packers converted every short yardage situation they ran Harris on. The Packers may finally have an answer for 3rd-and-1 — an area they’ve struggled with for the last two seasons. continue

Not sure what he knows about the D or if he has it right but if true pretty damning I'd say.
