Packers at 49ers (1 Viewer)

[Ditkaless Wonders]

On the road against a very good team you cannot turn the ball over twice, once in the red zone, and expect to win, not unless you turn the other team over at least an equal number of times. You also cannot make dumb penalties. That the Packers were in the game at all was a positive sign. I am not discouraged. They came away without significant injury, at least not yet reported. They have some communication to clear up in the secondary, but that is no big deal. For the most part the young tackles held up. A tweek or two in the secondary, a lecture to Ross about running through a no return sign, and things will be fine.

encouraged by the play of the front 7 in the run game for sure.

I think its time Dom Capers moves on. He is borderline incompetent at this point. More of the same and another year of historically bad defense.

 

[thecatch]

I'll be honest I've always liked Harbaugh and think he's a good coach but he needs to work on the constant complaining. He really does come off as a whiner.

Thought it was a great game and feel better about the Packers going forward. SF is really good on both sides of the ball and showed they can win by throwing and not just ball control stuff.

How can you feel good about this Defense? They are horrible. Couldn't cover TWO guys today. TWO. Davis and Boldin.

This Defense is horrible. They will get torched every week. TT only helps his team through the draft, and that shows every single year, especially in the defensive backfield.

I'm disgusted by what I saw today

They bottled up one of the best running games in the league and Rodgers and Nelson, et al., showed they could move the ball on a top defense. There's nothing to be ashamed of from a GB perspective.

Plus the 49ers won the TO battle at home. The game was closer than what Pack fans are worrying about.

Great game....fun to watch but sucks at the same time for a Packer fan.

Feel ok about certain things...but

- no pressure on the QB

-too many penalties...especially on Sitton who is supposed to be the best lineman

-why even accept that penalty prior to the Matthews penalty and then skirmish

In the end it stings to lose, but I pretty much called out that I thought the Packers would lose on the road at San Fran in my post in the other Packers at 49ers post. I still think someone needs to knock Kaeps head off. Same thing next week with RG3. You love to watch them play but as a fan I want to see them go down and hard...

You and clay Matthews apparently

Right there with you man. This was a very tough game, against a tough team and a tough place to play. Hard loss, but not overly discouraged either. To make the mistakes and give up those turnovers and still be in it tells me that this Packer team is very much a contender. Definitely missed Burnett and Hayward today. They would have helped a lot. Overall I was very happy with the DLine and LB play and think the defense will be improved from last year. Time to get ready for week 2.

Great start San Fran. Kaepernick can play. For all the love he gets for his legs, this guy has a deadly arm. Awesome talent and great control of the offense.

I don't know what you are talking about ... the defense played amazing today. The offense turned the ball over twice in their own territory and the defense held one of the best rushing teams in the league to something like 30 yards up until the end of the game.

The two best defensive secondary starters were out, which didn't help, but I think they played fantastic. I don't think you are giving enough credit to Kaep; the kid is a future superstar. He can do everything.

Given the fact that they likely win this game if either A) The refs didn't mess up the free 3rd down, or B) They didn't lose the turnover ratio by 2, I'm feeling fantastic about the season so far. The 49ers are the defending NFC champions and the Pack took it to them in their house, nearly pulling off a win. Way too much pessimism on these boards.

C) They don't give up over 400yds Passing.

D) They don't give up over 200 yds Receiving to ONE guy.

Guys like you do a good job of breaking the stereo type of packer fans as knowledgeable and classy. Keep up the good work.

Meh. Maybe. Maybe Not. Any words on the SF Pass Defense? Rodgers shredded them for 333 and 3 TDs.

Kaepernick is a great QB. We'll see how the Seahawks fare against him next week. You guys BARELY squeaked out a win against the Panthers.

You would think that, by now, you would have learned your lesson about shooting your mouth off.

Chill out keyboard warrior, you have 15 more regular season weeks to keep up that intensity. Don't blow it all here.

SF Pass Defense is their weakness, I knew that and wasn't suprised Rodgers passed on them. Having not seen to many GB games I wasn't aware how poor they are on D.

Hayward was the #4 cover corner according to PFF last year. He's out the first month. Methinks Boldin doesn't go off for 200 if either Hayward or Burnett were playing.

The game has passed him by.

These comments are nonsensical. X's and O's don't move - only the players move. The entire secondary played terrible, most noticeably Tramon Williams, who seemed to give up on several extended plays where Kaep eventually was able to get the ball to Boldin. I have a feeling he is going to get shredded by the coaches for his effort/play today.

If Capers were fired he would have a job within a few days from another team; he is one of the best defensive minds in the game.

I'm astounded at how, Packers fans in particular, talk smack about the coaches after a loss and rarely ever criticize the players, when 95% of the time the reason a loss occurs is because certain players didn't do their assigned job.

There was one play in the third quarter where six separate Packers defenders had a chance to tackle Boldin on a crossing route and all either missed, took the wrong angle, or bumped into each other and knocked themselves out of the play. It was like watching the three stooges in the secondary. They PLAYERS in the secondary played terrible and that is one of the major reasons they lost. It had little to do with the coaches. The only ? for me was McCarthy not taking the 4th and 1 and instead accepting the penalty to make it 3rd and 6 for the 49ers, and they subsequently scored a touchdown on a Kaep pass.

Just because you give a team/coach props, doesn't mean it wouldn't make you feel good to see them fall flat on their face. You can Harbaugh a whiner, I call it advocating on the behalf of his players and a bit of gamesmanship with the referees. You can also arguably make the case that it affected the outcome of the game on that Matthews hit.

Bottom line is, it's been a long time since the 49ers have sustained any type of success to garner any kind of "hate", however you choose to define it. And after a decade of irrelevance, I'm savorying every bit of it.

You should savor it; they're a really good team and look to be one for a long time. I just don't see that hate that you're referring to.Not to say that that's not going to happen soon, though.

He does whine a lot. In fact, he's a total ###hat on the sideline. I don't have a problem with anyone saying that. I think most older 49er fans would agree with that.

I don't think its just about secondary playing poorly and I thought Tramon was one that actually played pretty well.

It was a no pressure zone scheme.

When the front 4 or 5 does not get there and leaves a QB with an arm like that with that much time to throw, guys will pick apart a zone.

Im not going to rip apart a secondary who constantly had to try to cover for that long with no pressure on the QB (in a zone scheme that has left the middle open for TEs and big WRs for years now no matter who is back there).

Now, I agree that the tackling, especially on the play you mention, was very poor. Hyde got out of position and let Davis behind him the one time without safety help close enough to him.

And what fans fail to realize is that if Capers had decided to play man coverage instead of zone, perhaps the Packers would have allowed 50 points. That was most likely the best coverage defensive scheme for the game.

The 49ers are a very good team; the better team, so far. As fans, we should give them credit where credit is due and no rag on the coaches. The Packers were simply outplayed.

Perhaps.

I don't know what is the perfect answer.

Straight up man may allow more of Kaepernick running around. But perhaps they contain him more.

But I can't say that going all zone with no pressure is the best coverage scheme for a game in which you give up 400 yards passing and 200+ to one guy.

And I do agree the 9ers are a better team right now...but Im just not going to lay it all on the secondary when they were playing that zone coverage and the front (for as well as they played against the run) gave them no help in pressuring the QB.

It would be "nonsensical" if this defense has been competent for the last few years and simply laid an egg against a good team. But Dom Capers' defenses seem to be folding in big games nearly every time for the last 3 years, and recently they've been historically bad-- meaning you'd be hardpressed to find a 3-year run from an NFL team that has played worse pass defense than Green Bay has. And the lack of adjustment during games despite repeatedly being torched by the same guy is baffling. There are also way too many blown assignments compared to other teams. Players don't seem to improve anymore in the system, and I would argue that many have regressed. I could go on...

If you look at the history of Dom Capers, he generally has a 3 year shelf life after peaking year 2. That happened in Green Bay. After that, it seems the players check out of the system. I don't know if it's because Capers is a smug ##### to deal with or what, but there's really no excuse anymore.

Defense is like a chess game-- and Capers is consistently losing now.

 

[chinawildman]

Play man and Kap burned them with his legs, play zone and he burned them with his arm, what's next? My guess is D coordinators will try more exotic zone blitz packages, but the SF oline combined with Gore are very adept at recognizing stunts and Kap himself has shown to be no slouch when recognizing and changing plays at the line. The sky is the limit for the kid... he was without his top 2 receivers from last season and went for 400 yds and 3 TDs. Regardless of the prowess of the GB defense, that's an impressive feat.

I don't get why he did this either. There must be some advanced stat that showed 4th and 1 from the 5 has a higher EV then 3rd and 6 from the 10? The ref seemed surprised when he wanted to decline it as well.
