The excuse is they played better than we did and we made more mistakes than they did. Its as simple as that. We didn't beat ourselves they beat us. The refs didn't cost us the game our play and play calling did.

On the bright side it was not all bad. Losing to this team the way we did is nothing to be ashamed of.

Just to clear things up, you think Colin Kaepernick is a better QB than Aaron Rodgers? Got it.

He is essentially saying, "what are you going to give me? OK, I'll beat you with that."

You may be tired of hearing about what a great QB Keapernick is through these last 14 games or so of NFL action, regular and post season, but you may want to get yourself ready for more. This kid is a buzz saw. As good as Aaron is... He simply cannot and is not doing what Kaepernick is as a QB. Period.

If I have to see one more game turning drop from Finley I'm gonna puke.

You give any QB that time to hit wide open receivers, guess what, HE WILL. It's the NFL where there are many QB's who could have done the same thing and some vastly better.

Christian Ponder could have thrown for 400+ with that OL against the Packers.

SF had as many pocket breakdowns as did GB. SF, and Kaepernick were able to convert. GB and Rodgers, not so much.

I call bullshit on your Christian Ponder...

The difference is our defense never challenged their receivers. Free releases all day. If you can't jam a receiver like Bolden on a regular basis, he's gonna get open everytime. When we actually did play aggressive man to man. We did stop them.

Playing the 49ers vs the way they played us definitely didn't help either. To much zone, worried about him running free.

I'm not gonna make excuses but I just can't say he's better than Rodgers. He's just so damn Consistent and always shows up to play even if the other half of the team doesn't.

Whatever. I'm not going to get into a pissing contest of who is better, Rodgers or Kaepernick. I'm as much a Packers fan as any. Lifelong. Stockholder since '98.

Point is, the simple threat of Kaepernick running affected the way we played D. Not the case with Rodgers. Both are very solid passers, with nearly equal weapons at the skill positions. Our pass blocking was about the same as SF's. Really. Watched the game twice. Both OLs in pass pro were virtually the same, allowing for both quick throws (2 sec) and deep throws (>3 sec).

Our OL was horrible in run blocking. Theirs was not. I felt their play calling on O was better than our own. I believe both of those areas were pretty deficient. Our line is not proficient as run blockers, and our coaching staff is not proficient in calling a good running game.

Defensively, our S play was so poor that we could cut both MD Jennings and McMillian and not miss a beat. Wow, did they suck.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
