It's a pick. Game over.

Interception by Nick Collins and it's over. The Packers will take a knee or two. Wait we have review.

49ers drive:Vernon Davis just went to the sideline, it looks like his ankle is acting up again.

Packers drive cont: Packers inside the 49ers 12 again. The Packers are running out the clock just like they did last year. Mason Crosby makes a short field goal its 34-16.

Packers drive cont: It would easy to blame the defense for this loss. They did have a number of breakdowns. But it's hard to play defense with a Troy Smith-led offense because the 49ers either go three and out, or they score quickly on a big play.

Packers drive: The 49ers have this pattern of poo-pooing challenges, like playing in the cold. Then they get tripped up by those challenges. The 49ers defense missed plenty of tackles this afternoon, probably because their hands are frozen. I don't know, however, what they could have done to acclimate.

49ers drive cont: Another three and out. One third down, Smith had a an open Crabtree on a slant, but he didn't throw it. Then he got sacked. He takes a long time to go through his progression; he even does that in practice. The question is, can he learn to get quicker with more experience.

49ers drive: Ted Ginn Jr, a few weeks ago, looked like he was in a slump with his returns. By the last two months he's been excellent. it helps that in the 4th quarter, the 49ers have the wind at their back.

Packers drive: Crosby makes a 43-yarder to make it 31-16. The game is slipping away.

49ers drive: Vernon Davis dropped a pass that would have been good for at least 50. Davis hasn't done that much this year. The 49ers are still in this, but not if they go three-and-out. Ginn almost caught a long pass but he couldn't get his second foot down.

49ers drive: I've never seen so many players on the same team run into each other. Ted Ginn Jr. had a return stymied when he ran into Phillip Adams. Earlier, Troy Smith and Antony Dixon ran into Mike Iupati. Wierd.

Packers drive: Touchdown for 2 yards to Greg Jennings. Another big play to Jennings that got the ball to the 49ers' 5. The 49ers safeties are struggling, receivers are consistently getting behind them.

49ers drive: 23-yard field goal by Jeff Reed. The 49ers stall once again inside the 10, and that's where a new quarterback struggles. Troy Smith had an open Crabtree on third down but he missed him while rolling to his right. Sometimes, Smith throws side arm, and when he does, it's usually inaccurate.

Packers drive: Touchdown Donald Driver. The old man broke three tackles and got into the end zone. Driver was left wide open over the middle. A 61-yard score, with Reggie Smith, Dashon Goldson and Nate Clements all missing tackles. So much went wrong on that play, it's hard to know where to start.
