Then Dillon got hurt and the run game went to sh*t. Cold weather doesn't hurt offenses (unless it's well below 0) but wind hurts the passing game. I would also point out that it appeared some of the targets in the receiving game couldn't get their fingers to work and felt like dropping easy passes at the start of the game, which appeared to make Rodgers not trust them. So, in summary, I think the cold weather Saturday night, coupled with OL injuries and bad starting lineup choices, made a difference Saturday. I also think the 49ers defense had an excellent gameplan to limit a gimpy Packers offense that had OL issues, was missing their #2 WR, and was missing their 1B RB.</p></blockquote><p></p>
