MVS wtf!

He was wide open...Rodgers was late with the delivery. 

AR is past his prime. He can still have a great game or two but the days of him being great for a season are over. 

He was sacked 5 times tonight and it could have easily been 8 or 9 times. It's hard to get into a rhythm when you are running for your life constantly. 

He regularly misses open guys, makes throws when he has loads of room to run, etc.

Yup. Scrambling for his life the entire game.

This game hurts because of how badly they got exposed against a team they’ll need to figure out how to beat to get to the SB, but they have 3 weeks of football against teams with a combined record of 9-24, two of them at home, to get right.

Opposing TEs have to love seeing Green Bay on the schedule, though... 

The Packers are not playing the 49ers in the Playoffs. 

They are one and done against either the Vikings or the Cowboys. 

They are the 6 playing @Minnesota.

I’m not going to say that. They could, rather easily really. 49ers could have the same record as the Packers 3 weeks from now. They finish with Rams and Seahawks. Packers finish with Lions and Vikings. This thing is wide open still...

Packers 0-13 on third down. Give the Niner defense its due but an abysmal failure by the Packer coaching staff with two weeks to prepare.

Agreed.  This game isn't completely on the coaches, but if you had 2 weeks to prepare and your team lays an egg this bad, it's not a good look.  This is now 2 of the last 3 games the Packers were DESTROYED.

Their record may be 8-3 but in terms of how strong they really are, they are still not an upper echelon team.  They can beat the weak or middling teams, but against a team with some talent that is playing well, the Pack is really no match.

Please,   They beat the Vikings, Panthers, Cowboys, Chiefs.  Are you saying those teams don't have "some talent, playing well?"

I totally agree on Rodgers playing poorly.  He just can't expect to hold on to the ball for 8 seconds against a rush like this.  A guy like Tom Brady gets that ball out of his hands in like 2 seconds whether there's a guy open or not.  In games like this, Rodgers needs to do the same.  

The only thing that I will say in Rodgers defense tonight, he had zero help from anybody except the Smith brothers on defense.  Those guys were the only guys that really showed anything tonight.  

We are paying, dearly, for Ted Thompson's last few drafts. We've spent soooooo many picks on cornerback and safety, especially in higher rounds, that other positions have been completely neglected. Our inside linebackers are atrocious. Blake Martinez is a tackling machine so long as the guy with the ball runs right at him. 

Just think how bad that unit would be had we not invested a small fortune on the Smiths.

They have the best record in the league against teams with winning records. Maybe not anymore after this one, but they have a solid resume. What’s concerning is seeing Rodgers so obviously rattled by heavy pressure. That first hit set the tone and he never tried to get comfortable, his collarbone PTSD kicked in. 

Took one on the chin, fuck it. Move on a finish strong. Anything can happen in the playoffs. GB barely hung with ATL in the regular season in 2010, wasn’t as close as the score indicated, and then shredded them in the playoffs. This SF team reminds me of some recent Dallas teams, way too cocky and ripe for an early playoff exit. We’ll be seeing them in January again, I’m not worried.
