The Niners played just 4 snaps with their base defense. That probably had something to do with it.

They often took Patrick Willis out of the game — Patrick Freaking Willis? — so they could beef up their pass coverage. They played their dime package, six defensive backs. And that meant the field was clogged with DBs, and that blew Rodgers' mind."

Not trying to PREACH - and this is just my .02 ¢ - but would you knowingly poison

The thing that really stood out to me today was how ordinary our D made the Packers offense look. At no point during the game was I worried about Rodgers, Nelson, Jennings, or anyone else. We had them on lockdown. I'll take this D over any one-dimensional passing team every day of the week.

Bring on the Lions, they're toast.

Awesome Game, Bummed that the refs picked up the flag on the block in the back on Dixon on that punt return TD. Also was shocked at the defensive series that ended in the TD where we only rushed 3 every time. Such an awesome game. Really Happy over all.

Yup. Our offense looked better when we were actually being aggressive and not in our conservative time running mode

This one was actually spot on... Not a fan of either Cohn, heck, I like reading Grant to make snide comments on his blog, but this one actually praised the niners.

We pretty much dominated this game and the score doesn't indicate that because of that garbage ca ll on thst return by cobb. We won anyhow in Lambeau. C'mon Lions it's your turn next sunday night with all of America watching.

such a satisfying victory, born in 1987 i have hated green bay and brett favre my entire life. not my childhood hero steve young or jeff garcia but alex smith beating them in lambeau against the guy who hes been compared to since draft day makes it that much sweeter. awesome win and an infinite confidence boost for smitty which will translate into a more aggressive approach i would think
