Game Thread: 49ers at Shithole aka Packers

[TobyTyler]

Very, very ugly, but I'll take the win. The offense needs to get its shit together right quick. We can't go into Carolina playing this ineptly on that side of the ball.

We need to tighten up the offense inside the 10. We were oh for two with the ball inside the 10. Kaepernick really came through today though just like I said he would.

I thought I heard something about staying back east to save some time? Either way here we come!! Go 49ers!!

 

[TobyTyler]

He was offsides

LOL! I must have missed that flag.

Jim just said the TO at the start of the half was cause Kap forgot his wristband.

Don't buy it. He needed to get that back, but Kap was shifting guys at the LOS before calling the TO.

The team will be flying back to San Jose. No trip to Youngstown. #QuestForSix

The thing that really pissed me off about that TO to start the half was Kap's reaction. He and McCoy (I think?) were laughing about it. I can't imagine that happening to Manning or Brady, but if it did, they'd be absolutely furious with themselves. I like Kap, but he really pisses me off sometimes.

The way he calls his cadences irritates me. But I remember seeing the smirk on his face and that also pissed me off.

Seriously. This was microcosm of what makes Kap so frustrating. Some TERRIBLE plays. He probably should have been picked three times, including once in the endzone, but he made some huge plays with his legs as well. I just wish he'd been more effective after the first quarter throwing the ball. We should have picked them apart after Shields went down.

You make it sound like these were ideal playing conditions to throw in. You could clearly see that he didn't have good ball placement today because of the weather condition; Rodgers also missed a few throws that he normally makes.

Also, that first INT was completely on Boldin because he totally half-assed his route (Rare mistake on his part), which allowed Williams to break off of Boldin and jump VD's route.

Dawson on whether this was biggest FG of career: "It is right now. I've waited a long time to win a playoff game." #QuestForSix

At that point, the halo over Arron Rodgers head disappeared..

9am kickoff time (PT) against the Panthers? wtf.

 

[StoningtonQB]

In the words of Ric Flair... WOOOOOOO!

It's SO NICE to finally have good kickers... do you all remember during the Jeff Garcia days when we were sweating extra points?

We are going to have to live with that I'm afraid. Bottom line is that he made the plays at the end when he had to.

Hmmm...

Another game to win!! Who's got it Better? Go 49ers!!

No. But I remember the Garcia days when we weren't sweating "1st and goal from the 5" situations.

I miss having a competent QB and offense.

You don't even have to go that far back; Akers was god awful only last season.

I'm very happy with the Dawson signing... Probably the biggest FA signing we've made since we brought in cowboy.

Well FYI we were getting into the endzone but were missing extra points and any FG outside of 20 yards

Some of it is the horrendous play calling when we get down close and some of it is Kaepernick still not seeing the field well. he is a completley different Qb down by the goal line, he gets skittish because there are so many defenders in such a small area. They should try to run the ball.
