Best Memes of Colin Kaepernick & the San Francisco 49ers Humiliated
Now it’s just a matter of whether it’s in Green Bay or not.
Mired in an offensive slump, the 49ers lost their third consecutive game Sunday in 17-3 fashion against the undefeated Green Bay Packers at Levi s Stadium.
“I believe in our team”, Smith said. “As long as we’re all playing on all cylinders, we can’t be beat”. They got a couple plays here and there, but if we would’ve got a play at one point we could’ve changed the game.
“I think we just have to keep growing as a group”, 49ers fullback Bruce Miller said. We felt like we left a lot of plays out there. “We have to get back on track and string plays together”.
Rodgers-the highest rated quarterback in National Football League history is at a ridiculous 125.9 passer rating this season, throwing for 995 yards and 11 touchdowns with no interceptions in 123 attempts. Defensively, San Fran is allowing 27.5 points and 377.3 yards per game.
But when Kaepernick found time to throw the result were hardly any more favorable. On Sunday, Hyde had 20 hard-earned yards on eight carries.
Smith made two catches Sunday and was visibly frustrated on the field for much of the afternoon. “I’m going to protect the throws myself so we can protect the ball as an offense”. That’s what we were doing.
Kaepernick was 3-0 against the Packers before Sunday.
Since the National Football League began seeding playoff teams in 1990, Green Bay has been No. 1 in the NFC only in 1996, when the Packers won the Super Bowl and ’11.
Kaepernick’s longest run was for 12 yards.
They are leaving Kaepernick in the pocket, where he’s under fire and fidgety, instead of moving the pocket and rolling him out, where he can buy more time.
“But the execution isn’t showing at all on game day”, Smith said. “I’ve had interceptions on balls like that, but it’s obviously something I have to get better at because I didn’t pick it”.
“We just had a four-man rush pretty consistently throughout the whole game. But it’s a lot easier when they’re winning up front and being the ones to create that pressure as opposed to on the back end having to cover up”.
Rodgers admitted after the game that the offense didn’t click like it usually does, and it’s fair to wonder whether the Packers offense has sustained one too many injuries to be dominant. The drive took nine plays and covered 61 yards. On third-and-7, Rodgers launched a 38-yard missile off his back foot to Jones, hitting a small window on the sideline.
A key penalty against San Francisco linebacker Michael Wilhoite on third down was costly as Rodgers capped a 12-play 80-yard drive with a TD throw to tight end Richard Rodgers. Can you win a game like that? “It was a grinder”. Packers linebacker Clay Matthews mocked him by kissing his bicep after a sack.
Where, you know, it’s kind of hard for people to catch them.
“Our defense played lights out”, coach Mike McCarthy said. “And I think that showed today”.
Vernon Davis not being in the mix also hurt the offense. Before the season started it felt like an inevitability that the Packers would let Perry walk this upcoming offseason upon the expiration of his rookie deal.
Holding Rodgers to just 224 yards through the air and 17 points is an accomplishment the 49ers defense should be proud of in this game. Packers WR Davante Adams (ankle) was inactive.
In this year’s training camp, the 24-year-old wide receiver was unable to make the cut but had already been working as a practice squad member for three weeks.
