Falcons_own_nfc_south Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 49ers OC Greg Roman revealed after Saturday night's Divisional Round win that the Niners intentionally did not use the Pistol formation in Week 17 and barely used it in Week 16 to throw opponents off.The Niners wanted opponents to think they'd scrapped the Pistol. They proceeded to use it on nearly 50 percent of their Divisional Round plays. "We didn't use it against the Cardinals because we wanted people to think we weren't going to use it," Roman said. Observed Packers GM Ted Thompson of Colin Kaepernick's performance, "That was unbelievable. He did everything. I mean, I had read the press clippings and seen some of the highlights. But to watch what he did ... oh my, that was special."Let's hope we did something too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vel Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well I guess the board experts can finally accept that teams do in fact hold back plays. It's not rocket science or beyond the realm of possibility. Now we have proof. Glad to see they pulled out the stops before us. Now Nolan gets some time to gameplan it.

sdogg Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 GB's coaches reminded me so much of our former coordinators in our last 2 playoff games. Horrible game plan going into game and failure to make in game adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallahassee Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I recall an article intimating that the Falcons were holding back some plays as well. Can't recall what plays they might have been, but we'll see today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsd56 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 we used it against Carolina. Seems like we don't use it til we get behindEarly in the year we used it alot then we went away from it.............. I hope to see it again because I do not think the hawks or niners have an answer for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slamee101 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Yea, it was obvious to me they broke a lot of the arsenal that they'd been saving during the season. Pretty smart IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
