Keep ringing the dinner bell.
Sack up. You sound like your whiney ass coach.
If you're running outside the pocket you've got a target on your back. Goes for every QB.
Kid's going to get blasted if he keeps giving teams bulletin board material.
Stupid remark. No QB should ever be intimidated. On one running play, he slid a good six yards before CM3 when he saw who was coming at him. Give him our Oline and I bet he doesn't say that...
Exactly GraveDigger. CMIII was in his head.
He won't last the season. He'll get hurt because he's got a target on his back.
He's definitely a pussy, but he's owned GB through the ground and through the air so until we can find a way to stop him....he's gonna talk
only 12 incompletions and threw for 412 yards with no INT, and they won again. What can you do? He's gonna talk until GB shuts him up and they haven't yet
Pretty easy for Kap to talk when he has the best offensive line in the game in front of him.
This will not be the last time they play Colin Kaepernick this season.
I hope not. IF they play them again, it likely means they are facing them in the divisional round or the NFCCG

I hope we don't have to play them again unless it's in GB. There is a reason many have them as the SB favorite. I do think we are close, but don't know if we can beat them there. BUT-it's early and the Pack needs to move on and take care of business and see what happens later in the season....
They need to stop shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers. When it comes to 2 good teams, that's often the difference. The D wasn't good again vs an elite team, but the Pack showed again that they can effectively move the ball on the Niners vaunted D. They need to play mistake free ball OR force a turnover of their own
Or I don't know..........not play two back-up quality safeties as starters.
Hes right. GB should have brought a better plan.

There was some quality vet FA Safeties available this offseason. Pack passed on all of them. Draft/develop team and I'm in their corner with that approach, but I wish they'd dabble a bit in FA here or there for some stopgap options from time to time. Team is a SB contender, they can use a vet plug-in at certain spots
One thing is for sure, Burnett is now firmly entrenched as one of the top 5 most valuable players on the team. They lose him and yikes.
I am not sure what the hand wringing is all about, this was a tight game won by the home team- do you think that was unusual. GB had two of is best players watching on the sidelines- hope to get the 9ers in GB in Jan. BTW remember the opener in 12, Gore ran for 123 yards and SF owned the ball- score wasn't as close as it ended.
Take a look at the positives, Eddie Lacy is real- I didn't think much of him in college but that 31 yard swing pass shows the potential, the fumble was a crap play but the "Big Dog" will prove his worth. Finley once again has a great play and then WTF on the pick. Defending the read option on the road is darn near impossible, I am anxious to see N Perry next week against the Redskins. For most of the game he appeared charged with holding the point and keeping Kapernick in the pocket.
The team on the field now will not be the team that plays in January and I suugest we just watch it grow.

Regarding CK's comment, I completely agree with him.
If you want to intimidate an offense, then shut them down. That's always been my reaction to teams like the Bears or Lions or Vikings or Bucs (back with Sapp) who always talked big but more often than not, went home after getting abused by Favre and now Rodgers.
As much as I love the Pack and root like hell for them, the same principle holds true for them. You want respect on defense? It comes with shutting down opponents -- not dumb hits out of bounds or lots of chirping/pushing post plays. Allowing 500 yards of offense, 40 minute TOP, and 50% 3rd down conversions with 0 turnovers isn't intimidating anyone.
As far as the hand wringing...that is what it's about for me. Over 1,000 yards in two games to the 49ers. We can talk about Burnett and Hayward, but they were on the field last year and let's not forget SF was missing two of their top three WRs today. They basically had two weapons in the passing game -- Davis and Boldin and we couldn't stop either. So sure, let's celebrate the defense shutting down the run, but it doesn't do much good if you allow 400+ yards in the air and 200+ yards to Boldin. Same story, different song.
The saving grace is Rodgers -- as long as you have him, you've got a chance in just about any game. How many times have they been blown out since Rodgers was starting QB? 3? 4?
The bottom line is that SF is simply a better team than GB at this point. It's close, but they are clearly better regardless of injuries, etc.. If Burnett (a slightly better than average safety, and Crabtee-a better than average WR) both played today-we have been beaten by a larger margin
You know nothin' Jon Snow....
I sound like a Vikings fan because I refuse to believe a team the Packers could've beaten is vastly superior to them. Okay.
Know what you sound like? A fair weather fan.
We'll see you in January when the Packers piss pound these assholes in Lambaeu.
Exceptional my ass. Niners don't scare me. Not anymore.

I have confidence in my team. Not sure how that makes me a Vikings fan.
Keep whining. There's a thread for that.

I don't know whether or not the 49ers are a "better" team but I'll tell you this- the Packers still do not match up with them very well. I think they've closed the gap a little bit but the Niners OL is still very good and the Justin Smith and Aldon Smith bookends are the best in the league.
Until GB can find a way to at least play those guys to a draw in the trenches the Niners will have the upper hand.
To the victor goes the spoils. He'll stop running his mouth when the Packers can get it done.
A great man once said, "To be the man, ya gotta beat the man!"
Hes right. GB should have brought a better plan.
Shut your cock sucker.
If we put ANY pressure on CK when he's back to pass, we win. Our front D did a great job against the run until very late in the game, but couldn't generate a pass rush for crap. It's all well and good and you can talk all you want when you can stand in the pocket and pick apart a secondary missing two top guys, but if he would have had someone in his face all day I think he would have kept his mouth shut.
Yes, they were the better team yesterday but I think MM (and hopefully Capers) goes back and rethinks this game and does a better job the next time they play.
It would also help to get the Niners coaches out of our headsets so we can call a better game...

I agree with this. I didn't think the game would be close in the trenches. If and when these two meet in the playoffs, I like the Packs chances much more now than at 3:24 yesterday.
Now let's play it out and get that game in Lambeau.
Attaboy, I'cheese!
Exactly who I had in mind!
I have never seen a QB more averse to taking hits...This guy makes Jay Cutler look like Jack Lambert....you could see it last year and in fact his premature slide in the Super Bowl rather than getting a first down cost them....
Obviously there are pros and cons---his sliding and racing out of bounds will keep him healthy...but it is laughable that this big, tatted up, flat bill/beats wearing, taunting, trash talker is such a pussy..
San Fran is the best team in football...and Kapernick is incredible....but Green Bay, on the road--playing with a rookie left tackle, 2 green safeties, making 10 unforgivable mistakes was still in the game as time expired....
San Fran was the best team in football last year and finished second...as they continue to finish as also rans---Kapernick's refusal to finish runs will become an issue and one of the things he is known for...no hate just fact....okay... I hate him
If the Pack plays them in the playoffs, they will lose again.
Well, other than his sliding early several times, another time throwing his hands up in the air to show CMIII he didn't have the ball when CMIII was bearing down on him--yeah, Kap wasn't afraid of being hit yesterday.
