The Green Bay Packers’ defense forgot to show up in the second quarter of tonight’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. In the first
half
Blake Martinez Jersey , they have forced just three third down attempts for the Niners, who converted one; meanwhile, the Green Bay offense is 0-for-5 on third
downs themselves, and an early ten-point lead vanished in the second 15 as the
Niners pulled ahead 24-20 at the break.Aaron Rodgers started out hot, with
passes of 54 yards to Jimmy Graham and 60 yards to Marquez Valdes-Scantling
setting up the team’s two touchdowns that gave them a 17-7 lead. However, the
offense failed to take advantage of a pair of 49ers fumbles deep in their own
territory, only picking up a pair of field goals on those opportunities.Through
one half
Jake Ryan Jersey , Rodgers has completed 11 of 20 passes for 222 yards and a touchdown, while Davante Adams leads the team in receptions with four for 42
yards and that score. Ty Montgomery added the Packers’ other TD on a two-yard
run. Meanwhile, 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard has a whopping 182 passing yards
on just 12 attempts, including three completions to Marquise Goodwin for 114
yards and two scores.Join us for the rest of the game in your game thread

from Packers MediaA Twitter List by TexWestern Greg Jennings and Jermichael
Finley, both of whom caught many passes from Aaron Rodgers and shared a huddle
and a locker room with him, recently criticized the Packers quarterback. Another
former receiver, Jordy Nelson
Davante Adams Jersey , has come to Rodgers’ defense.A current Packers receiver, Davante Adams, had his say Wednesday.“I feel like I have made it pretty evident
about how I feel about it already,” Adams said, via video from Stacey Dales of
NFL Media. “It’s something that I’m really trying to put in the past at this
point because it’s nothing even to continue to drag on. I think you’ve heard
from all the people who are relevant at this point and actually matter, which
are the people who played with him and played with him recently and had those
good relationships with him. I think that it’s been pretty uniform as far as we
feel about him — a great leader. All the negative things I’ve heard, I share
none of those feelings with those guys. Nobody reached out to me. Nobody reached
out to James Jones. Nobody reached out to Jordy Nelson
Corey Linsley Jersey , Randall Cobb, any of these guys who obviously had a good relationship with him. I think if those people were interviewed about him the
story would been a lot different.”No one outside the locker room has put the
controversy and criticism involving Rodgers and the Packers to rest yet. But if
those in the locker room have and Rodgers returns to being Rodgers and the
Packers return to winning, then it quickly will go away once the season
starts.
