This is a difficult pill to swallow for all of us right now. The locker room is really disappointed. I was hurt for them. Two years in a row, you lose home playoff games.

When we score 10 points, I put that all on myself. I have to be better than that.

I don't know. I don't have much more to say.

Matt LaFleur thinks that the blame should be on Rodgers. He was under a lot of stress. I take that personally because I didn't put our guys in good enough position to make enough plays.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said it was unacceptable to have 10 players on the field for the final field goal attempt. That's on me.

The San Francisco defense played arguably its best game of the season, as they held the Packers to less than 200 yards of total offense, but they failed to score a touchdown.
The Packers lost because of their special teams gaffes. Green Bay allowed a blocked punt, which was returned for a touchdown, and a blocked field goal before the half.
The Packers allowed the Niners to return three kick returns.
The Packers were eliminated from the playoffs at home for the second year in a row. It was the team's earliest playoff exit since the 2013 season when it fell to the 49ers in the Wild Card Round.
