The Official Packers 49ers Game Day Thread

I hate the milquetoast approach. Gotta realize your not as good and just let it all hang out right off the bat. Seems like we didn't have any sort of answer for the aggressiveness of their D.

D was bad last year. We took a big step forward. Hopefully, we can keep improving the talent and become more physical.

This offseasons rallying cry... number of rushing yards allowed

287 287 287

They expected run. But not outside option run. Caught totally off guard.

I don't think they have the dogs for that either.

[ThunderDan]

I don't feel as though the defense actually was so much at fault for bad play as for being completely unsuited to match up with a team like SF. You can only bring in so many FAs to cover for a stretch of poor picks and moves from the previous regime.

Once Z started free lancing all hope was lost to stop the run game SF designed.

Rodgers 0-3 in playoffs against 49ers. That has to hurt.

We don't match up well with them. There's a reason they didn't want to play the Seahawks.

You sound like Mr. Scott.

well we took a step towards making things 'level'. We do not seem to be able to draft defense well. That should be the starting point. Identifying and drafting above average defense for the long haul.

Good 'Ol Snubby can put that on his Pro Bowl resume.

We need O also. Too many D centered drafts recently. Need WRs, TE, OL.

D needs ILB and DL.

Chefs win by a lot.

The D really crapped the bed tonight. O struggled until SF played off.

Need to add talent and have a good draft.

They had a great offseason last year, but they still have a lot of holes to fill to be a championship team. Maybe too many for where they've finished.

I doubt it.

D Smith was lost. But you are correct that Ponch and the safeties didn't help.

Goodson is OK if you run right at him.
