More Banjo: Week 6 vs. San Fran

[texaspackerbacker]

As great as this game was, it exposed some Packer personnel weaknesses on both sides of the ball. Both of the Niner lines outplayed both Packer lines by a huge margin, and the Niners are not even known to be that great. They were rushing Rodgers horribly the whole game, usually with just their D Line. Only his super human QB play saved the day. And pretty much all game, especially in the first half, the Niners were gashing our D for big gains running the ball and not allowing us to get to Beathard. When we finally did at the end, it took an all out blitz, gambling on Kevin King's man coverage. He came through big time when it counted - after getting beat a few times earlier.

I don't blame Pettine for the D weakness most of the game. He is a much better innovator when he has better talent. What he needs to improve at is being a compensator - like Capers was - for the Packer personnel weaknesses. He showed signs of that late in the game last night.

The Packers are getting more and more solid at Receiver, though. The rookies - who are probably way more talented than Allison and Cobb - finally seems to be on the same page with Rodgers and gain his confidence. Ditto that to a lesser extent for Graham.

I don't really blame McCarthy much either. He did the best he could with the hand he was dealt - specifically the Packers O Line - for most of the game. Then when things got desperate, he just unleashed Rodgers and let Aaron be Aaron.

Great Game, Great Night for Wisconsin sports all the way around. We needed it after the debacle X 2 last Saturday.

The #Packers had three players with 100+ receiving yards in a single game for just the second time in franchise history (1980 at Tampa Bay: RB

Also distributed by #12!

J'Mon got his first (and only) catch last night too. Based on Rodgers' reaction, he made a good adjustment based on coverage, then immediately made something happen with it. With MVS ramping up and EQ showing some sideline awareness, J'Mon might be the odd one out. But if he can show he belongs on the field too, then what a trio to have with Adams over the next several years.

[Freak Out]

I wonder if after getting those terrible RTP calls earlier he is hesitating and avoiding contact with the QB?

Except it wasn't a QB he was avoiding.

Matt Bowen
That’s a big play by King. No help. Playing off-man. Have to match the release, carry the route & find the ball.

It’s official. Has the seal of approval from Bowen.

Thank goodness. I wasn't sure it was a good play, because the guys on ESPN said he interfered

Aaron Jones needs to run the ball more. 41 yards on 8 carries. Whatever his problem is on passing downs needs to be fixed.

It's not a problem Jones can fix, however Gute can. Fire stubby!!!!!

Is CM3 as bad as he looks on some of these plays? Just zero effort. On one big SF run he just ran a circle around the guy when he was the first line of defense.

he looked silly running full speed at that guy just to be sidestepped. horrible technique.

It made me wonder if he's lost a lot of flexibility. Looked like he couldn't react to a change of direction at all.

Hey! Wrong thread!

nope, just the usual hand fighting. stayed with him (but 11 would have eventually pulled away), actually turned to the ball (which is seldom done nowadays), made a game saving play.

So someone has to catch me up. During my brief checkins, it looked like Rodgers had better passing numbers than Bethard and more yardage by a good amount. Packers turn it over, just peter out on drives, FG versus TD?

all the answers you've already got plus penalties. it was ridiculous again. oh...and the usual extended holding of the ball by Rodgers.

The second one - FGs, not TDs. And in the first half SF was scoring TDs. If Crosby has a game like he did against Detroit, I think the Pack loses this game.

A mea culpa:

I dozed off during the early innings of the Brewers game. Woke up and the Packers game was 10-7. Not sure if this means anything other than I need to get more sleep. Or I'm 60.
