What can you say about the 2nd quarter for the Packers. That was about the best quarter of football they’ve played all year. At the half (Packers 23, 49ers 3), San Francisco QB Alex Smith is 3 of 7 for 5 yards and RB Frank Gore has 5 carries for 52 yards but Gore had 46 yards on 3 carries in the first quarter. The Packers defense has certainly figured out the 3-4, at least it would seem that way.
Raji and Pickett have played well but Jenkens has been a man among boys on the defensive front for Green Bay.
Meanwhile, the Packers offense is right back to the quick hitters, yard after the catch (YAC) and running the football with authority.
Aaron Rodgers is 22 of 31 for 274 yards and 2 touchdowns. The 274 yards is a career high, for the first half, for Rodgers.
NOTE: Rodgers was noticeably limping as he jogged off the field after the first half had ended.
Ryan Grant’s racked up 70 yards on 10 carries thus far.
The blocking downfield by the wide receivers has been impeccable. The Packers' screens haven’t been the prettiest but they’ve been effective. C Scott Wells and G Daryn Colledge have been solid blockers pulling on a couple of the screens as well.

Great victory for the Pack against a good 49er team. Yeah brett will "analize?" them in the playoffs. When's the last time he "analize?" anyone in the playoffs? Way over a decade ago. I hope they play, because Mr. Playoff Choker favre will blow it again. Rodgers is the man!!! Losing there 2 biggest defensive weaknesses will certainly help. Kampmann can't play in a 3-4, and Harris talks all the time and then gets burned. Super Bowl baby!

I hope they make the playoffs so Brett can analize them for the third time this season!

Unit, yet again the team can't put the dagger in. Special teams are a disgrace, again. Can we please find someone who isn't afraid to at least fair catch a punt? We had to lose at least 40 yards a field position due to Williams not at least trying for a fair catch!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
