Maiocco’s 49ers Report Card: Team grades in blowout loss to Packers originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
GREEN BAY, Wisc. — The 49ers have been unable to come up with the solutions to pull out of their tailspin.
“We got embarrassed,” coach Kyle Shanahan said after the 49ers’ 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
“That was probably one of the worst ones I’ve been a part of,” All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner said of the 28-point loss.
Indeed. The 49ers’ execution in all facets of the game was bottom-of-the-barrel atrocious.
Here is the report card from their Week 12 loss to the Packers:
Rushing offense
The 49ers could not get anything going on the ground. They had just 3 yards rushing at halftime and the second half was not much better.
Christian McCaffrey had just 31 yards on 11 rushing attempts for a 2.8-yard average. The 49ers could not string together any success on offense, so they ran the ball only 16 times in the game.
Jordan Mason, who was among the NFL leaders when McCaffrey returned after missing eight games, had just three carries for 8 yards.
Grade: F
Passing offense
Of all the things that went poorly, Brandon Allen’s play ranks far down that list.
Allen completed 17-of-29 passes for 199 yards and one touchdown with one interception. However, he had issues with his footing and lost a fumble when he slipped.
Wide receiver Deebo Samuel had a bad day with two passes that slipped through his hands. One ended up in the hands of Packers defensive back Xavier McKinney, who returned the interception 48 yards.
Samuel had just one catch for 21 yards on four targets. McCaffrey lost a fourth-quarter fumble at the end of a pass play.
Tight end George Kittle was the 49ers’ best player with six catches for 82 yards.
Grade: F
Rushing defense
The 49ers certainly felt the absence of Nick Bosa. The front four got pushed around as Packers running back Josh Jacobs gained 106 yards on 26 rushing attempts.
The 49ers’ defense could bring anyone…
