OFFICIAL Gameday Packers beat SF 49ers thread

[HarveyWallbangers]

Just in as I was watching the game at a family party. Just a couple comments

We really miss Burnett because we really don't have even one good safety when he's not there; it's not hard to figure out why I wanted Eric Reed so much
We really missed Hayward just as much

I know I've said this over and over and over....but Brad Jones is really sub par. He lost his jock strap on several key plays today; I am used to that.

James Jones seems to disappear against good competion; Jordy Nelson excels. Finely is still an asset. Lacy gives us another pop that has been missing in a while.

Overall this team played pretty well and how well we played San Fran on the road shows that we're one of the best teams in the NFC

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.

I don't think Hyde is the big issue. McMillian was awful. We really do need Burnett. Sucks that a guy who played every snap last year misses the first regular season game. I really hope that he comes back 100% and stays that way. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if that game is an NFC Championship preview.

Hyde had coverage in the middle on a number of catches, certainly on Davis down the seam. Agreed though on McMillan, he did noting but trail pass completions. He did force OK in the run. Not sure Jennings did anything.

Burnett would have better all around.

Jones lost coverage on the TE when he had a run read PLUS the need to cover Davis. The Packers were a body short on that side and that is what the 49ers O specializes in doing. Making you commit and be a man short. Matthews crash into the backfield did not help, its a dangerous play against that team. Had he stayed put, that route to Davis is a tougher throw and Jones has more time.

Matthews in the backfield is a double-edged sword. He sacks Kap or tackles Gore for a loss its great. If they run the play around him, its an open field. I think they might have to rein him in a bit.

Bahk was not a disaster. Not bad for a first game--presumably on no sleep--and against a pretty good DE. I feel better about LT.

Let the doom and gloomers have their fun this week.

The run D looks much improved, the pass rush should be much better once they can pin ears back and not worry about the scramble, the nickel and safety play was horrible today and should be much better with Burnett and Hayward back.

This games reminds me of the Indy game from last year (one WR tearing shit up, an awful call [the Perry call last year vs the CM3 assessment this year]).

We caused no turnovers, lost the battle 2-0, blew shit left and right and lost by a FG.

Perfect game summary. This team is going places; this game is a speed bump.

Good points. One correction though: we lost by a TD.


I will say the next two games are big though. We need to win at least one game. Hopefully, two. After that, I think we'll be off and running. An 0-3 start would be difficult though.

[Freak Out]

Secondary seemed lost....a bunch. Should get better with the return from injuries....?? Hope so. Three man rush at the end destroyed the O-line....sad when you don't get a chance to throw the Hail Mary.
Considering we had a chance at the end to beat the defending NFC Champs on the road shows what heart and talent many of these guys have.

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

Jones was lost a few times on coverage; otherwise he was just lost. The guy just doesn't make plays. He's a 1.5 Million Dollar Backup.

Indeed. Jordy has height and jumping ability. It would have been nice to see if he could have outleaped everybody.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Most encouraging thing to me was 1) Rodgers had enough time to do damage against that defense, 2) those three big guys up front are stout.

Haha yes you are correct, too much vodka.

I already predicted people would be jumping ship at the bye. I'm interested to see how RG3 looks tomorrow. The Bengal offense looked good today, though they were sloppy with the ball. THe DL didnt looks as good as I expected. Gresham/Eifert will be a big test for the LB/S.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Most discouraging thing: 1) pass defense. I'm hopeful that will get a lot better with Burnett and Hayward in the game. Jeremy Ross was bad also. I'm not sure he survives the week. Joe McKnight may end up being the KOR and Cobb or Hyde the PR in week 2.

[pbmax]

They were almost able to attack the secondary as you could tell McCarthy wanted to do last year. O line still gave up too much pressure when they went wide. I think that might be the time to run Lacy or Starks on a draw. Will be interesting to see what was working for them on the goal line when they started gashing them.
