Gameday: 49ers fall to Packers yet again
For the twelfth time since the 1995 season, the Green Bay Packers have beaten the San Francisco 49ers. In fact, during that timeframe, the 49ers have only won once. This time, it was a 34-16 loss at Lambeau Field.
The loss was the 49ers' eighth of the season. The 49ers have not had a winning season since 2002 and this year will be no different.
The 49ers' running backs combined for only 64 yards and quarterback Troy Smith was 10 of 25 for 194 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
On the other side of the ball, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback passed on in 2005 for Alex Smith, was 21 of 30 for 298 yards and three touchdowns.
Next Sunday, the 49ers will host the Seattle Seahawks at Candlestick Park.

Trey Lance was the Week 1 starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his second game. Eleven weeks later, Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a broken foot.
That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Two of the quarterbacks from last season—Lance and Purdy—remain. Both are just 23 years old. They are joined by Sam
