FINAL: 49ers 34, Packers 6
SCORING PLAYS
49ERS — Ricky Schmitt 30-yard field goal, 9:55.
49ERS — Allen Rossum 67-yard punt return (Schmitt kick), 3:15. The play: At least three players had a chance to bring down Rossum, including P Jon Ryan, who chased him down the right sideline, but only Jake Allen appeared to get a finger on him.
NEWS, NOTES AND ANALYSIS
* Packers coach Mike McCarthy was unsuccessful in his first challenge of the year. With 12 minutes to play, Dominique Zeigler came down with a third-down catch right in front of McCarthy at the right sideline. Officials ruled Zeigler maintained control to the ground.
* DE Jason Hunter picked up his second personal foul for a facemask — the fifth penalty against the Packers defense.
* Rookie Breno Giacomini finally got in at right tackle … and was called for holding, negating a decent Kregg Lumpkin run. But that was nothing compared to what happened to Daryn Colledge at left tackle the next two plays — back-to-back sacks given up to Tully Banta-Cain, both resulting in fumbles. On the first, Colledge knocked down his man and No. 3 QB Matt Flynn held the ball too long. But on the second, Colledge was flat-out burned with a spin move. Giacomini was beat on the other side by Louis Holmes, too, leading to Flynn getting sandwiched. For as bad as the pass protection was early on in Monday’s game, it’s been worse from top to bottom tonight.
* San Francisco’s directional punting has been something tonight. Even backup punter Ricky Schmitt, who also has been kicking extra points, planted one at the 2.
INJURY UPDATE
* Rookie TE Evan Moore went down holding his left knee after taking a direct hit from CB Marcus Hudson in the final minute of the fourth quarter. It did not look good, as trainers attended to Moore on the field for a while and had to be helped off the field. Less important, though it did kill a good drive, is that Moore fumbled after he was hit and San Francisco recovered.
* Packers WR Johnny Quinn appeared to be favoring his right leg as he hobbled off with about 4 minutes to play.

communication is the problem.It starts from the top and works it's way to the qb& o-line;d-backs.nobody talks they,re to young.They need a 38yr old qb with a good arm and the ability to audible at the line.

Was there anything positive about the Packers performance in this debacle?? Other than perhaps needing an offensive line, a QB, and a running back they'll be fine.

They don't need a 38 yr old QB with a good arm and ability to audible at the line. Mike and Ted told us so.

Suffer with your three stooges Murphy,Thompson, and McCarthy. They could care less what this team does. They are laughing at all the Packer fans while the bank their bundle of cash. These same idiots have the guts and try to bribe Farve to stick with the Packers after he retires. They have more guts than anyone I know, when Brett retires he should go to the Hall Of Fame as a Jet. The way these stooges treated Farve and I must say also some of your idiot fans you deserve what you get!!!The bottom of the NFL.

I just got home from the game and I will give you my brief synopsis. Bush got SCHOOLED!. I seen DD hobbling around on the sidelines. Bush got SCHOOLED! I seen Brandon Jackson hobbling around on the sidelines. Did I mention that Bush got SCHOOLED?
We looked pretty pathetic. I had to listen to those 49whiner fans like they think their team is going anywhere. Remember they have Alex Smith.
A-Rod has got to use his legs. He cannot stay in the pocket for any extended period, becausew they ate him alive. At least he didn't make any rush passes and took his sack like a man. It's just that there were too many of them.
If this is happening from a weak-a*s team like the 49whiners, it's going to be a longgggg season.

I guess McCarthy forgot to check the players 'mindset' before the game.

On 49ers telecast they said Packers had better sign a backup QB immediately. Thompson and McCarthy are going down in NFL history as being the 2 most ignorant, stubborn and stupid incompetant people managing or coaching a NFL team. Vikings will destroy the Packers on opening weekend.

Aaron I was always a fan of Favre...but listening to you talk tonight...get our confidence...and you can do it. People need to quit comparing you to Favre. You were put in a place where you did not ask to be...you did good tonight. Coaching needs to quit worrying about you and take care of the defense. You got it! You can do it! I'm a Favre fan...bottom line...I'm a Packer's fan. Hang in there! Good luck to you! Go Pack go!
