Kaepernick ran for 178 yards BEFORE CONTACT. Any other factor contributing to the loss pales in comparison.
Well if Peterson didn't define our defense Kaepernick surely did. Wait a minute I meant decimate.

Stop it, your making me thirsty.Wow, has someone visited the ***** thread.
And what's wrong with that? I think the game is more enjoyable of your not looking for perfection.The opposite side of Gloom and Doom is "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

Ok so the MVP had a good game against a divisor rival. I forgot no player can ever have a good game against the packers.
Not seeing may playoff teams there. That 205 yards per game average we gave up to him is staggering no matter how you try to couch it.
AP's highest YPC of the season was against the vaunted Seahawks defense: 10.7. 17 carries for 182 yards.
Bottom line, yes, we got rolled by AP. But so did the entire league. He had a special season, almost setting the all-time record. But, to continue to revert back to that fact alone is getting old and ridiculous.
THANK YOU!
It wasn't only one good game. Peterson ran for over 400 yards in two games on this "under-rated defense".
I remember people talking about how Raji had his way with Sullivan that second game. Subsequently opening holes for AP to blow through.
I see a bit of irony here. You state that Ap ran for 400 yards against us and that's your argument for how bad the defense, but once someone brings up that we hold foster to 40 yard u say its a terrible argument for a underrated defense. Quit using the Ap games and Sf game as the deciding factors of how the defense preformed for the ENTIRE year. If anything u are strengthening the case of an underrated defense. You mean to tell me our bad games on defense were against good teams or players.I think it was ridiculous to point to the Packers holding Foster to 40 yards as a reason the defense was good (or "under-rated" or "decent")
I'm sick of all the pessimistic outlooks many of you have towards our team. Christ... our defense looked bad in a handful of games, but at other times, the defense looked great. Bring back Bishop from injury, plug in Perry again, and add an additional draft class on top of it? We're going to be solid. A bit of optimism never hurt anyone. The DE position needs help, and possibly an additional big body in the middle to back up Raji. With the exception of AJ Hawk, I think our linebacking core is fairly solid. The safety position is a need, but the Packers feel that both Jerron Mcmillian and MD Jennings should compete for the starting job.
So many of you forget that TT strictly builds the team through drafts. Sounds like the mindset from some of you is to venture off into the land of free agency, where teams overspend on older players. Let's see how that would work out when Aaron Rodgers is on the verge of a $25M/year contract and Matthews is looking at $13M a year. Seriously. Let's give the staff more credit. After all, that's why we're sitting behind a keyboard typing out our opinions rather than being in the front office and actually making these business decisions.
Nope, Raji was living in that backfield, but he overpursued. When you push too far ahead of the guys on your line it creates gaps. It's why they invented sled drills.Wouldn't the reverse be true if Raji had his way?

Mike Sherman, give it up already.Ted tThompson?? is that you?
Well that was a mistake on my part. Either way both of those arguments are poor because it is based off a small sample size.If you read the posts in chronological order, the AP post was in response to the "Packers held Foster to 40 yards; therefore, the defense is good" post.

Statistics do help show a cause but are never the true meaning of something. I follow the eye test. The problem i'm seeing with that is that it's based off the most recent games.Agreed. I think you have to throw out statistics and see if the defense passes the "eye test".

If that's true, then we will go 0-16 based off your saying.The old saying goes "you're only as good as your last game". And if that's true, this defense is not very good.
