Passing offense: Troy Smith hit Vernon Davis for a 66-yard touchdown, the 49ers' longest play from scrimmage this season. But the Smith-to-Davis connection was the only trick in their bag. The 49ers targeted Michael Crabtree eight times, resulting in three catches for 45 yards. Grade: C-

Rushing offense: Without mainstay Frank Gore, the 49ers failed to establish a reliable ground game. Though they averaged 4.4 yards a carry, they ran out of gas in the red zone. Rookie Anthony Dixon struggled with his footing and managed only 33 yards.

Grade: D

Passing defense: Once he decided to take his shots downfield, Aaron Rodgers exploited the 49ers secondary for long TD passes to Greg Jennings and Donald Driver. Rodgers became the first Packers passer with two TD passes of at least 55 yards since Brett Favre in 2007. Grade: D

Rushing defense: It was still a two-score game when Packers embarked on a clock-demolishing 17-play drive that snuffed any visions of a 49ers comeback. Overall, Green Bay had as many first downs rushing (11) as the 49ers had all game. Grade: C

Special teams: Jeff Reed came up short on kickoffs, but he nailed all three of his field-goal attempts in difficult weather conditions. Ted Ginn Jr. had another solid game on returns. Grade: B+


Coaching: Close through two quarters, the 49ers had no answer for the Packers' halftime adjustments. Green Bay outscored the 49ers 20-3 after the break and about doubled up time of possession. Grade: D
