San Francisco 49ers Week: That's The Focus

[Maxie the Taxi]

9 is too much. Packers never blow anyone out on the road. They haven't beaten SF in, what, five years? First they need to get the Kaepernick monkey off their back, then we can talk about blowouts.

This one could get away from the Packers if they're not smart about it and underestimate the half-assed Prospectors. They have great skill players (Bolden, Hyde, Davis, Bowman, etc.). Kaepernick was embarrassed last week and he'll be out to redeem himself. Arizona did a great job blitzing him and keep him contained, but the few times he escaped, he gashed them with his legs.

Arizona played seven DB's a lot and Kaepernick made mistakes under pressure. You have to make him beat you with his arm, which is can be very inaccurate even without pressure. The right side of their Oline is vulnerable to the pass rush. Their DL is tough to run against.

Niners are not as bad as last week and not as good as Week 1. Arizona might be the best team in the league, at least based on what I saw last week.

Once Kaepernick started thinking he was the greatest QB in the history of football, his skills began to erode considerably. He's still fast and can run, but he's not surprising people anymore. He's no Cam Newton.
