OFFICIAL Gameday Packers beat SF 49ers thread

[Harlan Huckleby]

Biggest disappointments? No, it's not McMillian and Jennings (we shouldn't expect that much) It was the lack of pressure from D. Jones and Perry.

I wouldn't single-out Jones & Perry. Did Neal get a whiff of anything but offensive tackle? The whole pass rush stunk.

Face it, the Packers are Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews. But maybe those 2 and 51 guys is enough.

I didn't expect anything from Neal, so that wasn't disappointing.

I don't know that its just Rodgers and Clay, Jordy and Cobb are fantastic playmakers as well.

Two stupid plays cost them a TD.

After the stupid play by Clay and the skirmish afterwards the head of officials is now saying SF should NOT have had another down. It should have been offsetting dead ball fouls and 4th and 2. SF then gets a free down and a TD instead of going for a FG in that situation. Had they gone up by 3 instead of 7 the entire tenor of the game would have been different.

[Pugger]

I blame MM. What the hell was he he thinking? Why give them another shot?

Fire McCarthy.

McCarthy didn't have a choice after those offsetting penalties after Clay hit CK out of bounds.

[Pugger]

Not really. They are only up 7...at home...and we gifted them 7 on a fumble.

I don't see how SF is dramatically better. Our OL is piss poor, and Rodgers hasn't been hassled all that much. Their vaunted run game is invisible.

Our Achilles' heel in that game was the back end of the defense. Our safeties in particular stunk out the joint.

[Pugger]

You know who the 49ers are? They are the Lions.

That was not a hold.

THANK YOU. The first penalty by Josh was hands to the face but the 2 holding calls were bull shit.

Man I miss nick collins

[Pugger]

I said that when the Cards let him go and I said it when the Ravens let him go. Why don't the Packers ever get someone like this, oh that's right TT doesn't need free agents.

We don't need WRs. Now if you're talking safeties that's another story...

Bach - tremendous considering the circumstances. However, he and Barclay did not do well in space with wide rushes. And somehow gave up more pressure to a 3 man line than a four man line. Hopefully the latter was just a new experience in a game situation.

I am not mad at Perry, Neal, Daniels or Jones yet for the pass rush. They were clearly under orders not to let him escape on a run to the QB pass rush. Perry played one of those perfectly, tying Kap and the blocker in knots long enough for help to come. Neal and Jones actually caught Kap on another bail out of the pocket. If they can't produce a pass rush in the next 3 games then I will be worried. But not against this guy.

Matthews must have had a green light. He made two great plays but on one of his crashes they caught a long first down to the TE. Jones was the only other player around and I doubt that was his guy.

[Pugger]

Morgan Burnett is a huge loss. McMillian is not good. I think I'd take Banjo right now. I'd also take Hyde over Bush.

We now see why we paid Burnett and why Hayward was in the running for DROY last year. Hyde was in his first game. McMillan and Jennings should only play ST.

[Pugger]

thats why you cut his ass

i don't care if he is special teams god. he always ends up on the field on D, and he always fucks things up

If Burnett and Hayward played you wouldn't have seen Bush in there.

"That (containment) is all we did," Jones said. "That guy's dangerous."

[Pugger]

That's the Bretsky that I know and love. I didn't think Brad Jones was awful, but I'm really down on McMillian this year. I thought he had a chance, but he looks like Atari Bigby 2.0. Without the occasional big play.

Jennings is just as bad.

[Pugger]

Except for Peppers, its not going to get much harder. But it wasn't a clean game.

But you have to admit it was better than we all feared it could have been.
