TRENT DILFERS TAKE on why Colin owns the Packers D
CK struggles against the one kind of defense the Packers rarely attempt

Hi B.

Pretty easy to understand that article and where our 'D' needs to adjust on a fundamental basis. Send this in memo form to:

http://www.mapquest.ca/?version=1.0&hk=9-O4H39BbV

Way too often we see our defense turn their eyes to the ie WR/TE and not check back to the ball. I reviewed the game recording today and it's unbelievable just how lenient the Zebras were with our DB's grabbing and otherwise clear PI desperation.

The ball should definitely have been placed on our 1 yard line after a clear PI on a Kaepernick pass to the end zone (A. Boldin as I recall it was interfered with) and that was ignored by the Officials and as a result 'only' ended with 3 more points down and a score of 6 - zip...49ers.

All else the same. The score should have been San Fran 49ers 17 - Packers 10 at the half. Not 49ers 13 - Packers 10.

Our teams DB's too often give over the top too much room or pursue opponent route runners with their backs to the ball. Our DB's are not athletically gifted enough or clearly outmatched. Anyone (or fan) that can simply see a game should know that's exactly the case. It's too easy to see.

Why are common sense fundamental concepts ignored?

A bunch of kids at a Sunday afternoon pick up game would know that much. To not turn their backs to the ball. Isn't that a no brainer!?

Packerrats want for some reason to lay the blame this time on the 'O'; and with no doubt the Packers 'O' was certainly off. It was nowhere after the 1st Qtr. (what!? 6-8 yards total offense).

The fact remains that the Packers 'O' did have the team ahead as the game went. That closing drive for a FG and the San Fran 49ers win; was set up by lousy defense. A "no defense" that gave up two HUGE 3rd down plays to the San Fran 49ers or the Packers have a real shot at flipping the outcome.

It's right there that that game was lost. LOST by the Packer 'D'.

That loss was on the Packers defense ...AGAIN.

PACKERS !

Ohh Dear what can I write .... OK.

Not me Pugger as that definitely supports another team (besides the San Fran 49ers) or the Carolina Panthers as being better than the Green Bay Packers.

I'll hope for a San Fran 49ers win in that game and at least then there will be some pause and is the Carolina Panthers a better team that the Packers. I want the 49ers to absolutely own the Panthers. To go all the way to the Super Bowl and win that sucker too.

I base that post on simple logic.

We learned that way back when we were 10-12 years of age and 'the Boys' comparing teams down at the corner store. Back then it was rare or just not happening to have a girl toss sports around with the fellas. They tossed other things at us.

PACKERS !

To each his own. I don't want SF or Seattle to even sniff a Lombardi this season. This doesn't mean I'm rooting for anyone - just against those 2 teams.

I will definitely watch how Carolina plays Kaep this weekend.

I have kind of wondered why the Pack didn't sit in deep cover 2 with the safeties and make Gore beat us. We aren't gonna get pressure, so why bother?

Because last time they did that the QB ran for 181 yards an Gore had another 100 or so.

I was impressed that they stayed with man coverage even when they had to play House. Makes you wonder how much better it wold have worked out with Shields and Neal in the game. Of course, they still would have had to overcome horrible performances by the ILBs.

Thinking more about this, it would have possibly made more sense to fill the box even more. Kap was struggling with accuracy on his deeper throws and the refs were allowing interference all over the place. With the way T-will was playing, you fill the box and have the LBs and one safety cover shallow, and then single cover everything deep, hoping for more off-target passes. Might have stopped the scrambles.

Oh man if I could just bring RB back for a week...

At least our "Dallas" isn't in the same division:

Packers : Bears :: Seahawks : 49ers

[denverYooper]

The previous article mentions the Seahawks made Kaep pay for his poor throws, whereas Green Bay and Carolina did not:

In the 49ers' first two playoff games, Kaepernick got away with notable near-misses. On the third play of a game-winning drive at Green Bay, he underthrew a short pass that was nearly intercepted by cornerback Micah Hyde. In a divisional win at Carolina, Kaepernick's slant from his 3-yard line was jumped by safety Quintin Mikell, who couldn't finish the play.

Against Seattle, which led the NFL with 28 interceptions and has three All-Pros in the secondary, Kaepernick paid for his mistakes.

The previous article mentions the Seahawks made Kaep pay for his poor throws, whereas Green Bay and Carolina did not:

Which is consistent with this thesis: the biggest difference between the 2009-11 Packers and the 2013 version is the huge decline in takeaways. It is not just the number either. During their playoff run in 2010 they relied on turnovers to break the game open (NYG, at Atl in divisional game, at Chi in CG) or to fend off late comebacks (Chicago in week 17, wildcard game at Philly, at Chicago in CG, Mendenhall fumble in SB).

They need a healthy Casey Hayward and a safety who has a sense for the ball but is able to keep it within the system.

I see Kaepernick as a slightly more accurate Vick. Runs if the first option is gone, will make the wow throw, but will throw some really dumb ones up too.

Packers missed at least two (Tramon in the end zone and Hyde) during the game. Hopefully they can make him pay the next time they play.
