time for a new coordinator, there was no way this team should have had 400+ yards put up - face it, capers time is gone.
Yeah, Jerron McMillian, a 5th round rookie and Jarrett Bush are All-Pros, Capers sucks.
you scheme to what you have, if you can't do that, you're not a good coach.
i am sick of excuses for this crap performance.
Well, you have to give Capers credit that he has our expectations so low that giving up 500 yards of total offense, over 400 in the air w/ 200 to Boldin, nearly 40 minutes TOP, and 50% on 3rd downs is seen as a moral victory.
Rodgers is an incredible QB, Nelson made some great catches. I liked what I saw out of Lacy in the 2nd half of the game.
But sign me up for a new returner and defensive coordinator. It's just so painful to see how poor our in-game adjustments are.
I am with you!
SF called better plays today. And we need a pass rush. Did they call any blitzes?
I'm not okay we lost, but I'm satisfied we got better with our Dline. When do we get Hayward back/
yes because it was easy to see early that they would torch us again on D.... and happened to be correct again. now, Ive been here for over 10 years and u know I post both negative and positive stuff when were doing well. Just don't see why you have to troll posters who point out the negative.
you don't have to police every fking comment
Just goes to show how important Morgan Burnett really is. Wow MD Jennings and McMillan were bad. I can't recall a game where the safety play was that bad. I'd have to go back to a year or two Sharper was making the transition to safety - think it was 1998 and 1999- to see a safety play that poorly.
Keep telling yourself that
This team can't beat those guys just like the 90's Packers couldn't beat the 90's Cowboys. You can't tell me that 1995 or 1996 GBP team wasn't as good if not better than Dallas either.
It's a different game with Burnett and Hayward in there... but there's not much you can about that. I got tired of seeing Boldin open but he's a great player going up against a banged up secondary.
But yea, fire Capers. I love the Packers, but some of fan base are ****ing droolers. Not much you can do about that.
In some perverse universe, wolfpack and anti-worst have big old erections.
Wrong. I want them to win more than you do. But look at the TOP and tell me that you can win like that. But I know the rules here, gotta see everything as flowers and butterflies and candy kisses, so happy day!!!!
If you have to make sh*t up, you really don't have a point. That's just patently false, and you know it. But I understand your need to be "liked", so carry on.
how can gb get more pressure on the qb?
perry is a disappointment.
what happened to that returner from the jets that came to interview last week?
Cripes, all this whining. Face reality. Colin K. is the real deal. The SF defense is real. We played MUCH, MUCH better than last year and had a chance to win it. We will probably get another chance in the postseason. Hopefully on the frozen Tundra! Lacy is going to be good, even though he didn't get many carries today, you can see that the kid is tough.
minor gripe--I agree on Ross. Do not see how he made this team. I really wanted WR Walker rather than Ross. And we need a better returner than Ross. At least Cobb can return, but if I were a coach I wouldn't want to risk him there unless there were no other options.
SF is at least the best team in the NFC, the Packers almost beat them at home. Not bad.
The big difference in the game came down to several really dumb plays by Ross.
I legitimately missed it (Thanks roommate too cheap to spring for competent wifi). What did Ross do?

I was waiting for that. If you were didn't have your head inserted in your ass during the game you'd notice that the OLB's were playing containment defense to keep Kaep from running all over the place, which was effective for the most part.
Damned if you do damned if you don't. Sometimes you just have to sit back and recognize the other team is pretty damn good too.
Oh, no offense.

A lot of bonehead returns.

Nail on the head here!
I have to admit -- we did better than I thought we would. We played what might be the best team in the NFL, on their turf, and were in it right up to the end. I'm not sure that we have the personnel to make the necessary adjustments to beat them (or the coordinators). But I feel better than I did last week.
For all the complaints about the defense they played well enough to win it. Two Packer turnovers and several forth quarter three and outs were too much to overcome. Needed an almost perfect game to win it and came up short.
Last year, Ross impressed my by running decisive and hard straight down the field. He was hesitant today and made a few poor decisions. Can't have that going forward.
I was encouraged at the DL play today. They held their own against a really good OL that has bitch slapped us in the past.
I also didn't see Barclay or Bahktari get owned by Justin Smith and Aldon Smith. That's a positive step forward.
Still not enough at the end and you can't expect to win being -2 in the turnover margin along with several dumb penalties.

I'm tired of this horsesh*t officiating. It's one thing to miss calls, but when you blow a call because of a missed rules misinterpretation, that's complete incompetence. Here's what I want to know. People at NFL headquarters are obviously watching these games because they over turn replay challenges, so why the hell can't they stop a game and correct a call when it's an obvious blown rules interpretation call?? A missed holding call or something, that's different, but that was utter garbage!!

But SF was also missing two of their top three WRs in Crabtree and Manningham.
Capers has shown an ability to make adjustments game to game. After Peterson went nuts, he came up with a plan to shut him down in the playoffs. After CK went nuts running last year, he came up with a plan to contain his running today.
But unfortunately, his in-game adjustments are non-existant. Good coordinators adapt during the game. He didn't do it with Peterson last year. He didn't do it with CK last year. He didn't do it with Reggie Wayne last year. And he didn't do it today with CK and Bolding.
Very entertaining game, certainly disappointed in the loss.
Will have to see what is said after but my guess is the "lack of pressure" was by design to contain CK. And if true very well done. THis game is totally different with Hayward and Burnett playing.
Offensively started slow, to be expected after very few snaps and playing on the road against a premier D. As game progressed it became clear agains lesser D this offense will put up points and gain confidence. Next time play San Fran look out.
Really the only gripe or whine for me was Ross on kickoff that was brutal!!!
we did see 2 of the best qb's in the game today. both played well.
OBJECTIVELY, however...
AR12 has been outplayed by Kaep on 2 consecutive games. as another comment goes, GB cannot win then qb play is a draw (see Eli Manning) or a loss. AR12 is the highest paid player on the league, and I'm happy he is on our side BUT...
I would bet SF wouldn't trade Kaep for AR right now.
Bottom line - they are better coached, and Ross is in our team. Remember, this was the Pack's superbowl, the ONE game they schemed over and over for in the offseason. Now need to win 11/15 to have a good shot at the postseason - likely to play at SF again.
I legitimately missed it (Thanks roommate too cheap to spring for competent wifi). What did Ross do?
A lot of bonehead returns.
The operative words is a lot. He even ran it out of the end zone when his team mates were yell at him to down it. He keep putting the packers pinned behind the 10, including the last critical kick off.
A loss is still a loss. Reality hurts people as you want to look for positives. D-line was good against run, yes, but they gave up 400+ yards passing. Pick your poison. No adjustments made on Boldin and he ran at will. Lot of mental lapses by the coaching staff as well as the players. Players I can understand as this is game 1, but the staff including MM needs to be more accountable. That being said, what can Dom do when he has no horses to match. MM has to take a lot of blame for his bonehead play calling on the offense though. As someone said if you want all butterflies and kisses, not look at reality. Flame away!!!

The plays are reviewed by the booth at each stadium, not NFL headquarters. GB didn't lose the game by poor officiating IMO.
I guess he felt that with Kaepernick's scrambling ability he had to play a lot of zone. The trouble is we are just not very good at it. Our safeties (minus Burnett) just have a hard time closing on the ball or the ball carrier.
AR would KILL our secondary.
You're wrong. Rodgers is the best QB in the league. Kaepernick played well today but he's got the best OL in the league protecting him and a top 5 defense on the other side of the ball.
Pass the hooka pipe dude

...not a fair comparison. Kaepernick had practically no pressure on him at all, especially up the middle. Give AR SF's oline & running game & he may never throw another incompletion!!
Give Rodgers that Niners OL and the Niners D and they might not lose another game
i know that OL is superior but...
my point is that AR gets paid to (in theory) overcome some of that discrepancy.
i just have a question...
does bill belichick go for it on 4th and 4 at the end, or does he punt?
you have to give it to harbaugh - he called a perfect game today.
What the butterfly kisses people don't want to talk about is that our defense gave up over 500 yards, got no turnovers, and SF had a 2-1 TOP advantage. But if you bring that up or are discouraged by it, somehow you're rooting for the other team. It's freakin' childish. But that seems to be the rules. Times Four, not for pussies? Really?
. Remember, this was the Pack's superbowl, the ONE game they schemed over and over for in the offseason.
I actually feel better about the team after this game. In both games last year, it just felt like the Pack just couldn't physically play with them but this game felt much more even. And guys like Bachtiari and Lacy will only get better over time. Plus getting Burnett and Hayward back makes our secondary a completely different animal.
Unfortunately for us, CK appears to really be the real deal. With his combination of athleticism and throwing ability, he is a unique problem for defenses. The scary thing is he had very few bad throws and didn't come close to throwing a pick. SF has always been excellent about not turning the ball over and if their QB can continue that while still being a dynamic playmaker, they are going to be a very tough out.
Our D didn't get blown out of the water this time. On SFs last 4th down I asked myself, who do they stop? SF has many options . This could easily be the NFC championship game at the end of the year. Will have to see who has more injuries at the end. I like we have a running back. Losing sucks, GB showed up. Pretty much used to getting f++cked by the refs when going to the east coast.
Really? In stead of running for 181 yards CK throws for 412. This team continues to be to soft.

Part of that goes on McCarthy.
What's the chance Harbaugh lets that call go through if it goes the other way?
