The one thing I learned from watching the playoff games...

The QB needs to step up in the playoffs.  Both Kaepernick and Rodgers played great in a game that could have gone either way.  Over in the AFC, Andy Dalton crumbles and gets beat by the Chargers.  Andrew Luck brings his team back down by 28.  

 

Cam Newton already understands this, but he needs to play the best game of his life against the 49ers.  I think he'll rise to the occasion.

No offense but did this need it's own thread? I think it's pretty self-evident that Cam has to step up.

Wasn't his QB rating in the 50s the last time they played?

I doubt he plays poorly at home. 1 passing TD, 1 running TD.

He literally needs to step up into the pocket....I get so tired of him rolling into the guy blowing by Bell.

Cam didn't score a touchdown in the last 9ers meeting, but this time, I feel like he'll have 1 or 2. 9ers D looked good and not so good at times today. With two weeks of game-planning, I expect a better offensive output. 

 

Defense has stepped up all season, and will have to continue to do so.

Injuries. Injuries played a major role in three of the four games. We need our guys to stay in the game.
