San Francisco and New England, Super Bowl bound. I kid. Or do I? Alex Smith outplayed Aaron Rodgers at Lambeau Field; tell me -- did you ever think you'd read that sentence? And the Patriots look rejuvenated by a young defense. The Niners, looking like the best team in the league after one week, are now 7-2 on the road under Jim Harbaugh.

Left tackle Joe Staley told the Sacramento Bee’s Matt Barrows that he may have shattered his nose. On the first play of the game, a 4-yard run to running back Frank Gore, Staley’s helmet came crashing down on the bridge of his nose, opening up an ugly gash.

Staley’s jersey was splattered in blood the rest of the game. His nose also immediately swelled. Staley said he had to breathe through his mouth the rest of the game. It may have contributed to yielding 2.5 sacks to Packers linebacker Clay Matthews.

“One of the worst games I’ve played,” Staley said after the game.

Didn't the first 1.5 sacks happen before Staley started bleeding all over? And I don't know about breathing through the mouth resulting in a sack, but he looks like a pro-bowl LT to me most of the time.

I was wondering how the schnoz was affecting Staley in the 2nd half.

He has his ups and downs, moreso than we'd like at least.

Well I ran cross country in high school and we were taught to breath in through our nose and exhale through our mouths. They said your body absorbs a lot more oxygen that way than breathing just through your mouth. Not sure if this is true, but I had a heart rate of only 70 beats a minute after a 5 minute mile.

He broke his nose on the first possession of the game. He says it was the first play.

 

[BINGO]

That's a legitimate reason as to why he gave up so many sacks. It's almost an impossible task for him playing like that.

Joe Staley is the most criticized player on this board. If only people here hold everyone else on the team on the same standard that they do for Staley.

They see the 2.5 sacks and assume he played terribly. I'll give him a pass for the broken nose.

It took me a while to come around, but Staley proved he's legit last season.

The truth about the front-running Green Bay Packers

This is not a predictor for the future, just a summary of the past. Doesn't include last night's game.

McCarthy’s Packers have a serious crunch-time issue with pulling out close wins, and the problem is amplified in games started by Rodgers.

The record is 3-18 (.143) at fourth-quarter comeback opportunities under Rodgers, which may historically compare best to the forgettable Bill Kenney and the 1980s Chiefs (3-27 record).

Overall, Green Bay is 7-26 (.212) in fourth quarter comeback opportunities since McCarthy became the coach in 2006. That is seven fourth-quarter comebacks in six seasons. The New York Giants produced seven fourth-quarter comebacks in 2011 alone – albeit a number that tied the league single-season record.

While Green Bay fans have spent the last year pointing fingers of blame for the record, citing bad luck and other reasons, the truth is you cannot change the record. It is what it is, and it’s as rotten as an abandoned Wisconsin cheese factory.

For a great team with a championship, no one historically has been in need of jumping out to big leads and avoiding the necessity to gut out a close win with a late drive like Green Bay.

The kicker, Mason Crosby, is a bit shaky. The defense has had some real breakdowns. Rodgers has failed to seize the moment to win several games given the opportunity.

They are all to blame for this mark, and we have never said otherwise.
