All in all, I am a little disappointed in the O. While Nelson would help, he has not been a one man wrecking crew against the 49ers in the past. I hoped Cobb and Montgomery would provide some much needed versatility in the short passing game. In their three scoring drives (esp. the last two) they did. And I suspect the Packers might have had another score in them if they did not have a 2 score lead.

But it looked like the same man under Cover 2 that the Packers struggled with the last four years for significant parts of the game.
It's all about the pressure. SF was able to get pressure consistently with just four. That's the main reason the passing game suffered.
