[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 461819, member: 2232"] How & How do you assess the blame for this one? I'll go like this: [LIST] [*]40% our offensive line [*]30% our tackling [*]10% Capers [*]10% Rodgers [*]10% Zebras [/LIST] First of all, many of us have been worried about the softness of our OL for awhile. They've been decent in pass-protection, but poor run blocking. Well our[COLOR=#339966][B] OL was pathetic today[/B][/COLOR], with the exception that they did a great job on Justin Smith. But they let Ahmad Brooks get RIGHT IN 2 straight times at the end of the game.... the first time Bulaga eff'd up, and the next time TJ Lang butchered it. With the way the zebra's were allowing the Niners DBs & LBs to clutch, grab, hold, maul, ****** our receivers and TE's, Rodgers needed at least 2 or 3 seconds to let his guys run half of their routes before throwing it. As fast as Brooks came in on that final, critical failed drive, Rodgers had no prayer other than the last desperate throw to Jordy Nelson, who was actually only covered by one guy with no safety help there. But Jordy was unable to come up with the jump ball to preserve the game. Our tackling was terrible again, like last year, but worse because DJ Smith was so often not in the right hole (like they always are when Benson got the rare carry). Smith even once, late on Frank Gore's 16-yard run to the left, took himself out of the play by going too wide and running himself into another Packer who was being blocked by a Niner. There were so many other cases where he took wrong angles to runs, and had to chase. The loss of Desmond Bishop might prove as fatal as losing Collins was last year. We still have no adequate replacement for Collins back there, and Burnett is not even close to being in Collins league. Capers gets a little blame because he couldn't figure out who should be the #2 safety back there. He tried M.D. Jennings even though he was awful in the preseason. That didn't work tonight and he replaced him with the rookie McMillian. The blame on Rodgers is for his terrible interception right when the Packers had cut the lead to 8 and had the momentum. It also is for him, once again, failing to come thru with a 4th quarter comeback, EXCTLY AS COLD HARD FOOTBALL FACTS documented this summer.
