The Niners also blocked a FG that would have put them up 10-0. Both teams had their share of drops and missed blocks. Both QBs were pressured. I actually think it was a well played game considering the weather conditions. There weren't a ton of penalties either. It's another game out of several down the stretch that could have gone either way. I'm just happy that they've been going the Niners way. I worry that the next one will go the other way. These close games are killing me.
I genuinely believe that if it was a more mild weather game, we would of beat the brakes off of them.
it wasnt really a matter of "jimmy isn't capable of throwing, so load the box to stop the run", they knew that we would struggle throwing regardless - just like Rodgers did. Outside of one drive, they looked similar to us. Just their stats are prettier cause it was small completions.
the packers loaded the box to stop our run cause they knew that it would be really difficult to have a passing game in that weather - it Made more sense to make sure they stop the run. I was very impressed with GB D line last night
