Not much to say about the game, really. The 49ers were the better team last night. If the Packers want to win the Super Bowl next year, they need to get better. All you can do is tip your cap to the 49ers this time.
I will say this about the read-option, which quarterback Colin Kaepernick ran to perfection last night. NFL defensive coordinators will have an offseason to figure out the best way to handle it. Defensive coordinators figured out how to deal with the Wildcat and they will adjust. And the experience of Robert Griffin III will give teams pause as well. The Packers never really laid a glove on Kaepernick last night, but some other team will. And if Kaepernick is going to have a long career in the league, he'll need to avoid getting hit.

Long term, he'll need to avoid getting hit, but short term, the strategy employed by the 49ers was genius and got them a win. Does the pistol formation as a dominant feature of a NFL teams offence have a future in the NFL? The bet is no, but it may be enough to get Frisco over the top this year.

Could happen, anon. The Niners were impressive.
