Now you're just acting like a douchebag to get an internet fight... because you do the surprise "really" and then you agree with me.
Yes, the STs is trash, which is what cost the team the game, blocked FG and blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown.
And since ST was clearly an issue to anyone with a brain, it therefore couldn't be solely on another issue, as clearly STs giving up 10 points is huge, in a 3 point game.
Also, Packers clearly missed MVS stretching the field deep... fans were right with their concerns that an important injury could happen in the Lions game and it did.
The Packers wide zone, has the clear advantage of using the RB in the passing game, but when a team has the LBers to cover the RBs in the passing game, as the 49ers, Vikings and Bears do, that can make it a lot harder... then also losing MVS to stretch the field, and Tonyan being the guy over the middle, the 49ers were freed up to focus on Adams a lot more and no one else was getting consistently open.
And Rodgers completed 69% of his passes, no turnovers. The 5 sacks weren't good, but you're going to get a few of those every now and then ... the bottom line is the Packers couldn't win running the ball or with Cobb, Lazard and TEs enough and it didn't help that Dillon was out either.
So 3 of Packers top 5 play makers on offense weapons were out, letting the 49ers focus on the other two.
