And we're off to another bad start with dropped passes again (hit the juggs machine fellas).

He cleared out 2 (maybe 3) defenders with his route on Davis' touchdown catch, plus he took two defenders out of the play on a Frank Gore run when we had 15 to go deep in our own territory and allowed Frank to pick it up. Just because the guy's not catching passes and scoring points doesn't mean he isn't a critical piece of the offense.

He also motioned to the same side as Moss and caused the defense to focus on him, leaving Moss wide open for the TD.

No doubt it's premature to start writing DW off, but c'mon man. The Moss TD was just a flat-out bust by the Packers' FS (#43 Jennings). Giving credit to DW is a major stretch.

That was the design of the play, sure the Packers blew it but that was the why they drew it up. I guess it's easy to miss that stuff after watching so many consecutive years of unoriginal predictable offenses.

delanie walker sucks, so overrated. If he isnt dropping passes, hes fumbling the ball.

Watch the play again. Once DW motioned over there, the 2 guys responsible got confused and they both went to cover Delanie.

There is the perception that the 49ers have a feared 2 TE set with VD and Walker - but Walker seems to be very little threat in the offense and when he does have a chance to make plays he is dropping balls - 2 today? Do others share that perception? Maybe Celek should get some playing time in 2 TE sets - he was apparently kept because they like his hands.
Gore - I believed Gore had become a North-South only running, lacking burst around the edge anymore. Hmmm, he got to the edge today!
Moss got his TD, but he did seem disappointed in his role. I hope his role increases or he doesn't implode in mid season.
WTF?

Disagree. Of the two guys you're talking about, one is a safety, one is a ILB. When you say that one of them got distracted by Walker, you're implying that he was supposed to turn and run with Moss instead. No chance the coverage was designed that way.
Green Bay was playing zone, not man. And neither of those two guys appeared to be responsible for the deep middle. The strongside safety (#43 Jennings), the one opposite Moss) was supposed to cover it. Jennings just blew it. You can see in the video the Green Bay defenders both point at #43 in frustration as the play finishes. The packers players basically admitted as much:
"The play wasn't even over and Morgan Burnett appeared to already be pointing at [#43] M.D. Jennings. But after the game, Burnett wasn't naming any names when asked what happened on Randy Moss' 14-yard touchdown catch in the San Francisco 49ers' 30-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers Sunday. 'Yeah, there was miscommunication,' said Burnett, who is in his third NFL season and is the veteran of the true safety group, not counting converted cornerback Charles Woodson. 'But it's just one of those things you've just got to learn from it and you've got to grow from it. Nobody's singling nobody out.' ... After Jennings seemed to blow the coverage, he was replaced as the nickel and dime safety by rookie fourth-round pick Jerron McMillian."
