GREEN BAY -- This is the live blog for the San Francisco 49ers' Week 12 road game against the Green Bay Packers. This will be updated frequently with information and analysis from the press box.

2:27 Here are the 49ers' inactives: Brock Purdy, Trent Williams, Nick Bosa, Charvarius Ward, Kevin Givens, Jacob Cowing and Khalil Davis.

2:28 Here are the Packers' inactives: Jaire Alexander, Kitan Oladapo, Edgerrin Cooper and Jacob Monk.

2:29 The 49ers seem to think that Brandon Allen can open up the downfield passing game because he has a stronger arm than Purdy. And maybe that's true. No one has confidence in Allen's ability to pass the ball effectively no matter how strong his arm is. The 49ers' game plan has to be to throw the ball as infrequently as possible. Which means the Packers most likely will load the box, play bump-and-run coverage on the outside and dare Allen to make throws downfield, which supposedly is his specialty. If he can't hit those throws, the 49ers should bench him and play Joshua Dobbs because he at least can scramble. That's not part of Allen's game. He's a statue. I don't see how the 49ers offense will play any better with him than it did last week against the Seahawks when it scored just 17 points with an injured Brock Purdy. If the 49ers score more than 17 points in this game, it will be a mirace.

Final score prediction: 49ers 17, Packers 27.

3:23 The 49ers win the toss and defer. The Packers will receive the opening kickoff.

FIRST QUARTER

3:36 On 2nd and 7 from the 49ers 11, Jordan Love completes a screen pass to tight end Tucker Kraft who scores. That was an easy, methodical drive for Green Bay. Deommodore Lenoir left the game with an injury.

49ers 0, Packers 7.

3:42 On 3rd and 5 from the 49ers' 37, Rashaan Gary strips the ball from Brandon Allen who falls on it and takes the sack, and the 49ers go 3 and out. That was bad. After the punt, the Packers take over at their 19.

3:53 On 3rd and 9 from the 49ers' 32, Nick Sorensen calls a blitz and the Packers fail to block Sam Okuayinonu, who hits Jordan Love and forces an errant throw. Then the Packers make a 51-yard field goal.

49ers 0, Packers 10.

SECOND QUARTER

4:02 On 2nd and 15 from the 49ers 25, Brandon Allen throws a pass over the middle that Packers linebacker Quay Walker drops. Should have been an interception. Then the 49ers go three and out. After the punt, the Packers take over at their 29.

4:20 On first and goal from the 1, Josh Jacobs bulldozes his way into the end zone for the touchdown. The Packers are 6 for 7 on third down so far in this game. The 49ers defense is absolutely awful without Nick Bosa. They got flagged for having 12-men on the field on back-to-back plays. Unreal.

49ers 0, Packers 17.

4:38 On 3rd and goal from the 3, Brandon Allen hits George Kittle in the back of the end zone for the touchdown. Great drive. Kyle Shanahan called lots of sideline passes and Allen nailed them.

49ers 7, Packers 17.

4:44 On 1st and 10 from the 49ers' 49, Christian Watson burns Isaac Yiadom with a fade route but drops an uncontested deep pass and the Packers punt a few plays later. The 49ers take over at their 25 with 4 seconds left.

THIRD QUARTER

5:09 On 4th and 2 from the Packers 45, Allen changes the play at the line of scrimmage and then throws an incomplete pass intended for Christian McCaffrey who wasn't open, and the 49ers turn the ball over on downs. Jordan Mason got one carry during this drive and gained 16 yards. The 49ers would be so much better if he were the starter.

5:13 On 3rd and 7 from the Packers 43, Leonard Floyd sacks Jordan Love as he tries to step up in the pocket and the Packers go 3 and out. After the punt, the 49ers take over at their 10.

5:21 On 3rd and 8 from the Packers 45, Brandon Allen fires a pass over the middle that tips off Deebo Samuel's hands and gets intercepted. Samuel should have caught that. Still, Shanahan shouldn't have called a pass over the middle in traffic. That's where tipped passes get picked off. The Packers take over at the 49ers 26.

5:26 On 3rd and 2 from the 18, Renardo Green commits a pass interference in the end zone. Next play, Josh Jacobs scores a rushing touchdown.

49ers 7, Packers 24.

5:33 On 3rd and 7 from the Packers 30, Eric Saubert drops a pass over the middle. Those throws over the middle haven't been available all game.

5:34 Jake Moody makes a 48-yard field goal.

49ers 10, Packers 24.
