Out-played and out-coached, few things worked for the Niners in Green Bay.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan yells towards an official during the first half of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024 in Green Bay, Wis. Any glimmer of hope was short-lived or quickly sabotaged. Any positive play was rapidly undercut.
That score was his 15th catch in the red zone this season — tops in the NFL — and eighth red-zone touchdown of the campaign. That also leads the NFL.Allen didn’t lose the 49ers the game on Sunday. Frankly, you’d be hard-pressed to ask him to do more than he did. And who knows what would have happened had Deebo Samuel caught a ball that hit him in both hands on a third-and-8 from the Green Bay 45-yard line. A catch would have moved the chains and put the Niners — down 17-7 at that point — in a position to make the contest a one-possession game.
Yes, it takes layered trickery or a kick return to get Samuel a big gain these days. It’s tough to watch one-time greats fade, and it’s even tougher when they’re fading this fast.» The Niners have been overly reliant on their rookies to play like veterans — such is the desperation brought on by injury and poor play.Renardo Green — who has been fantastic this season — was worked over again and again by Packers’ receivers. The Niners lifted him from the game in the fourth quarter.
