49ers-Packers one-liners

Posted by Josh Alper on November 23, 2009 12:51 PM ET

The 49ers dug themselves a 23-3 halftime hole and couldn't do enough in the final 30 minutes to avoid a 30-24 loss to the Packers.

Mark Purdy of the San Jose Mercury News points to 49ers QB Alex Smith's five yards passing in the first half as part of his argument that he isn't the team's answer at quarterback.

49ers WR Michael Crabtree caught his first NFL touchdown and said that the team should go to the spread offense full-time.

49ers coach Mike Singletary challenged his defensive backs during the week leading up to Sunday's game, but they failed to answer the bell.

The 49ers haven't found a consistent replacement for Allen Rossum on kick returns.

Serious injuries to LB Aaron Kampman and CB Al Harris helped the Packers blow a big portion of their halftime lead.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, and finished with 344 total passing yards.

DT B.J. Raji's first NFL sack was part of a stout effort by the Packers defensive line.

Packers TE Jermichael Finley made a successful return to the lineup with seven catches, including three on third downs.

Special teams have been a problem for the Packers this season, but they came through with a good performance on Sunday.

No. Having Frank Gore on the team is Alex Smith's strength. 🙂

Well it's simpler and easier to understand which helps Smith, Crabtree, their TE Davis and maybe more....

This isn't college. And like Wade said, having Gore is his main strength. If he can actually stay healthy.

It's nice that Crabtree loves it, but you don't do that when you're a smashmouth team. It's like saying that we should become a running team. Abandon the pass, mostly. Go with a 30% pass, 70% run offense.

This isn't college... but if it works then keep doing it... how many teams have guys that can match up on Crabtree and Davis while stopping a crafty Vet like Bruce? ... it's not the easiest thing to do.

I say they should do it if the running game fails... but they should stay with running game because it works and controls the clock...

So your saying don't cater to one guy like Crabtree but yet suppose to cater to Gore even though the spread is better for your qb, te and your wrs. The spread offense doesn't mean you pass the ball all the time just means you spread your players out. The Pats run the spread pretty much and have been running the ball. It might actually help Gore.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

jdlax (5h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (10h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (10h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (10h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (15h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (15h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (16h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (16h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (17h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (17h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (17h) : umm... what?

wpr (17h) : I am stunned

Mucky Tundra (17h) : RICKEY SCOOPS WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!

Mucky Tundra (17h) : ITS HAPPENING

buckeyepackfan (17h) : DEAL IS DONE

buckeyepackfan (17h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (28-Aug) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
