O-line gave Kaepernick all day to throw against the Packers. Tremendous job as it appears GB sold out to stop the read-option. Next week against Seattle I'm not expecting near that much time to throw.

One thing that I'm not sure of after week 1 was Gore. Maybe it's just me searching for negatives, but Gore looked like he's lost a step.

Yeah, many left-side sweeps he made where he just ran into bodies, 4-years younger Gore would have reversed.

I don't think so.

I think the Pack was expecting us to run it down their throats so they pretty much loaded the line. The O-line not creating the lanes didn't help much either.

The only time the rush worked was when we ran it to the outside.
Boldin is slow but it just doesn't freakin' matter
I tried to create a thread to congratulate you guys...It wouldnt let me. But great game. I think we probably played you better than you thought but the better team today came out on top. I can say i am honestly not afraid of you guys, but you certainly have our number for the time being. Boldin was Crabtree today and I honestly wasnt expecting that. Either way, you guys played a great game and congrats on the win.
Let me add that the Clay play was dirty and I dont condone that at all.
What did you guys think of our LT outside of the 1st play which was pretty absurd!!!

I thought he held up very well. Good feet and stronger than I thought. Gave up some pressure, but for a 4th rd rookie making his first start against the Smith bros, he looked like he can handle it.

Pretty much was a holder throughout the entire game.
Before I forget, kudos to Harbaugh for going for it on 4th down. If we punt, I think GB gets a FG and ties, if not take the lead. Huge call that allowed us to kill the clock and add points.

I agree with this over the post below. Maybe its the homer in me, but I thought he did pretty well against the best duo he would face all season.

i think he was ok, but Rogers was quick with his decisions and maneuvered around a lot.

he should be ok this season and become better as the weeks progress

Your OL played very well. Great job at stopping our run. If we had Alex, I don't think he throws some of hose jump balls to Boldin. Wouldn't be surprised to see you guys again in the NFCC. I think you are Better than SEA.

Whole O-line got away with some subtle holding.
