The Packers, Rams, Titans, 49ers all under performed Sunday.
They all run versions of the Shanahan offense....has the league caught up with the offense and its schemes?

Because you also left out the fact that the Vikings, Bears, Falcons, Bengals Seahawks and Browns all run it as well...
That's AT LEAST (because I could be forgetting some) that's 10 of the 32 teams (31.25%) of teams are now running the wide zone scheme.
Edit... I forgot Dolphins, Broncos and Jets too.... so 13 of 32... (40.625%) of teams run that scheme, and again that's assuming I'm not forgetting or missing out on some team.
The scheme is good and very tough on the defense, nothing is wrong with the scheme...
First off week 1s are weird... like Packers and Colts often make the playoffs but usually lose week 1.
As for the Packers, they were playing without their top 3 WRs from last year and their top 2 OL.
Titans lacked WRs to start with and got rid of their top 2 WRs.
49ers are working with a new QB, as the Bears CB said, they beat the 49ers by making the new mobile QB actually play QB (meaning stay in the pocket and throw it).
Rams got beat by the Super Bowl favorites.
