It was a tough loss for the 49ers on Sunday in Green Bay, as they fell behind early and couldn't catch up to the Packers, losing 38-10. Brandon Allen, who was filling in for the injured Brock Purdy, had a decent performance with 17-of-29 passes completed for 199 yards, but unfortunately, he also had two turnovers. The team's star player, Christian McCaffrey, also lost a fumble in the fourth quarter. He had a solid game overall with 31 yards rushing on 11 carries, while tight end George Kittle led the passing game with 82 yards and the team's only touchdown.
However, the 49ers struggled to contain the Packers' running back, Josh Jacobs, who rushed for 106 yards and scored three touchdowns. Quarterback Jordan Love didn't have to throw too much, only completing 13 out of 23 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns.
After the game, the 49ers shared their thoughts on the tough loss that dropped their record to 5-6 for the season. Head coach Kyle Shanahan was disappointed with the team's performance, especially in the first half where they couldn't seem to get anything going. He also pointed out that the three turnovers and numerous penalties were major factors in their defeat.
Shanahan was particularly frustrated with the back-to-back substitution penalties, which he felt should not have been allowed by the referees. He also praised Allen for his play, despite the rough start with an interception and a couple of dropped passes. Shanahan explained that Allen had injured his finger a few weeks ago, but he was still fit to play.
The team's star left tackle, Trent Williams, was a last-minute scratch from the game due to an ankle injury. Shanahan revealed that they had hoped he would be able to play, but unfortunately, he woke up in a lot of pain on game day.
Allen also shared his thoughts on the tough loss, acknowledging that the team started slow and struggled with turnovers and penalties throughout the game. He also discussed the interception that went off Deebo Samuel's hands, admitting it was a tough catch but trusting Samuel to make it.
Kittle, who had a strong game with 82 receiving yards, was asked whether the loss was testing his optimism. He responded by saying that the team is not where they want to be, but they still have talented players and he trusts the coaches to put them in a position to succeed. However, he did acknowledge that it will be an uphill battle for the team moving forward.
Linebacker Fred Warner also addressed the team's struggles, particularly with missed tackles and the dual substitution penalties. He took responsibility for the poor execution and emphasized the need for improvement in those areas. He also acknowledged that the first half was one of the worst he had experienced, but the team still had a chance to come back, which they unfortunately couldn't capitalize on.
Overall, the 49ers were disappointed with their performance and acknowledged that it was an embarrassing loss. They took responsibility for their mistakes and will use this experience as motivation to improve in the future.
