Defense Gives Up Over 500 Yards In Game One Loss To 49ers!

OK.  We have one game to look at.  Some quick observations:

1 - We lost
2 - Defense Gives up over 500 yards
3 - Packers TWO turnovers - 49ers ZERO turnovers
4 - NO running game for Packers
5 - Held 49ers to 90 yards rushing

Now, let's look at some of my goals for the year, from my Blog - Sept 3
Offense
1 - Rogers sacked twice - That was acceptable
2 - No plays over 40 yards - Not Good
3 - Two turnovers - Not Good
4 - Injuries - Will see later
5 - no 100 yard rusher - Not Good

Defense
1 - Only two sacks - Not Good
2 - 49ers one play over 40 yards - That was acceptable
3 - 49ers NO turnovers - Not Good
4 -  Injuries - Will see later
5 - 49ers no runner over 100 yards - That was acceptable

Special Teams
1 - No turnovers - That was acceptable
2 - No great punt or kick returns - Not Good
3 - No field goals - No comment
4 - No 49er long returns - That was acceptable
5 - No defense TD's - Not Good

Results loss!

Offense scored 28 points, but running game was pathetic & passing game inconsistent.  Few penalties at bad times & FIVE 3 & outs!  Rookie tackles were adequate, but running the ball was an issue.  Offense played good enough to win!

Defense, not as ugly as last year, but over 500 yards!  They created no turnovers.  Lack of pass rush & wide open receivers seemed to be an issue all day!  I would still consider the 49er Quarterback a rookie and with these stats - 27 for 39, 412 yards, 3 TD's unacceptable!  Defense did not play well enough to win!

Special Teams - Punter Masthay had a good day 6 punts averageing 46.2, two returns for total of 8 yards!  Crosby no field goal attempts.  The problem was kick returns!  Starting positions after kick & punt returns - None in SF territory - All in Green Bay - yard lines - 20, 18, 20, 20, 4, 13, 38, 22, 31, 20, 24, 9, & 20!  Not good.  Special TEams did not play good enough to win!

Will spend one more day analyzing the 49er game.
