To be fair, the 49ers were taking what they were given. Another point I'd like to make here is that the offense is going to change a bit with a new QB at the helm, and an excellent one at that. Alex was good but limited, so you need to protect him and run the ball a ton. With Kaep's ability to throw downfield as great as it is I would argue you take advantage of that. Unless this becomes a trend, or Gore has lost a step, I'm thinking the running game will make an appearance before all is said and done.

I agree. I have no problem with the amount of runs. Just want to see more traditional run plays vs running out of the pistol. CK is legit. I say let it fly. I expect teams to start doubling Boldin leaving 1 on 1's for the 2nd wr. And leaving nobody to help cover VD. This offense is a gonna cause headaches.

the run blocking wasn't there but the oline did a great job protecting kap....

my impression was that there was hella green bay fans even though it didn't seem like it in the crowd.....

I think Kap tried to go deep to KWilliams three times, hope they can get that going next week

This. Usually it is the other way around.

As someone mentioned above. We were at home and had trouble with getting play off. If they can't speed that up they will be in trouble in Seattle next week.

The pistol is just a formation. They are still tradional run plays, just an offset I.

I wasn't quite as impressed with Reid. He made some good plays, but he also missed at least 1 tackle, plus I saw him out of position on another. The missed tackles on the secondary surprised me the most. Our pash rush against a weak OL also disappointed me. Aaron Rodgers had a ton of time to pass the ball. I guess considering that, I am surprised the 49ers only gave up 28 points. Also, where is our red zone defense? Defense plays well when the opponent if +50 yards away, and then tends to collapse when the team gets inside our 20. I am trying to figure out if we still have a good defense or not.

also, we almost doubled their time of possession.

It's so f**king stupid that they STILL have this issue. They need to improve on this AND stop wasting timeouts.....

Impressions:

1. I think we need to give some more reps to Patton in place of Williams. I just think that Patton is a better receiver than Williams.
2. The offense still has serious game management issues. This isn't just a Kap issue...they need to figure out how to get the f**king play in on time and give Kap the time to make pre-snap reads.
3. I thought the blocking was a disaster today...on several designed runs you got a complete breakdown,
4. Tackling in the secondary was a serious problem. This did improve a bit in the second half.
5. Kap had a great day, but I think he needs to continue to work on his ball placement and throwing his receivers open.
6. I like Kap's maturity today. He didn't let Matthews get in his head, and showed excellent leadership out there.
7. I kind of knew that Boldin would be great for us...however reliance on him could jeopardize his health....he did get hurt out there today (turned out to not be serious), but this is a serious risk. We'd be dead in the water without his help in the passing game. He accounted for greater than 50% of Kap's passing yds.
8. I was disappointed in the pass rush...they had an off day today. We need much better than this from them, As it stands, they are exposing our secondary.

We NEED to elevate Patton to #2 Kyle Williams is NOT the answer opposite side Boldin

The only DB that played his butt off was Eric Reid pretty sad the Best DB out there was a rookie the rest of the bunch Rogers, Whitner,Brown & Asomugha played like crap through most of the game.

Where was the passrush too? i was asking this the whole game

You were not impressed with Reid? Hahaha. Outside of the one missed tackle he got my game ball on D. Guy was a stud out there. Have no idea what you watched.

I like Patton a lot, but some of you are being pretty unfair to WIlliams. The first bomb Kaepernick overthrew him when he was open and the second one he underthrew when Williams had Shields beat by 5 yards.

I don't know about you guys but I'm waiting for Williams to either break out or get out. 20 catches and 200 yards a season won't cut it for me. Although, I would agree could possibly have been a td if the pass was on target. I thought he dropped it at first but the db did get his hands in there (probably a tiny bit early). Still wish he would have came down with that. We will see how he does this year but I think he's more of a #3 slot or #4/5 WR then a #2 WR. Moore, Manningham and Williams are all free agents so kind of a good thing we can re-sign who does the best and likely move on from the rest. We will see but hopefully it looks something like Crabtree, Boldin, Patton, Baldwin, Manningham or Moore or Williams or none, rookie?.

Agreed, looking at the crowd all red hardly any green but yet heard Let's Go Pack chants during the game and also was loud for a few of their tds/big plays. Guess their few fans were just loud. Anybody at the game got an estimate? Side note, nice that we are chanting Let's Go Niners as always but do it during the commercial breaks, not while our offense is in the huddle.
