The 49ers open 2013 at Candlestick Park against the Green Bay Packers, 1:25 PT kickoff. Year three of Jim Harbaugh.
Colin Kaepernick starts in his first full season as the QB1 after taking over from Alex Smith in November 2012. Frank Gore at running back. Anquan Boldin acquired in March from Baltimore. Michael Crabtree on IR with a torn Achilles.
Year three of Jim Harbaugh Sunday afternoon at Candlestick Park. Coming off Super Bowl XLVII loss to the Ravens. Three months after the offseason Boldin trade. Five months after Crabtree's torn Achilles. The 49ers open against the Aaron Rodgers Packers in the kind of opening Sunday matchup the schedule sometimes produces.
Kaepernick's first full season as QB1. The 49ers eliminated the Packers from the playoffs at Lambeau in January with the 181-yard rushing game from Kaepernick. The home rematch is the kind of Sunday that opens with the most-marquee NFC matchup the league produces.
Favored by 3.5 at home. The opener is the championship-window team's third-year statement game.
Opening Sunday begins the league sort. The defending Super Bowl champion Ravens open Thursday in Denver. The 49ers, Packers, Seahawks, Falcons, and Saints lead the NFC's preseason favorites. Around the AFC the Broncos, Patriots, and Texans compete at the top. The Sunday opener at Candlestick is the marquee Sunday-afternoon matchup of opening weekend in the rematch from the divisional playoff game eight months ago.
Through zero games the 49ers reset to a 11-4-1 2012 in which Kaepernick took over at QB1 in Week 10 and led the team to Super Bowl XLVII. Returning starters: 19 of 22. Anquan Boldin acquired in March. Michael Crabtree on IR (Achilles). Aldon Smith returning from the 2012 19.5-sack season. Vegas opens the 49ers as 3.5-point home favorites; total 47.

Anquan Boldin caught 13 passes for 208 yards and a touchdown Sunday afternoon at Candlestick Park. The 49ers beat the Green Bay Packers 34-28 in the kind of opening Sunday home win where the championship-window team's offensive identity, in Kaepernick's first full season as QB1, produced exactly the kind of statement the new year needed.
Kaepernick threw for 412 yards and three touchdowns. Frank Gore ran for 44 and a touchdown. Vernon Davis caught one. Anquan Boldin caught two more touchdowns. The kind of opening Sunday home game where the Boldin offseason trade looked like the kind of move that adds the year's missing piece.

49ers 34, Packers 28. Margin: +6. Season opener.
A 34-28 home win over the Green Bay Packers at Candlestick Park to open the season. The 49ers improve to 1-0 in Kaepernick's first full season as QB1.
How it unfolded
Kaepernick led an opening field-goal drive. Rodgers answered with a touchdown to James Jones. Boldin caught a touchdown to give the 49ers a 10-7 lead. Both teams traded touchdowns into the second quarter. The 49ers led 24-21 at halftime. The third quarter was a Frank Gore rushing touchdown and a Vernon Davis touchdown reception to push the lead to 34-21. The Packers added a late touchdown to make the final 34-28.
The turning point
Boldin's first-half second touchdown. With the 49ers' offseason move for the veteran receiver looking like the year's signature acquisition and the home crowd back at Candlestick for the championship-window team's third-year opener, Boldin's second touchdown reception pushed the 49ers ahead 17-14 and the offense never relinquished the lead.
By the numbers
Kaepernick 27-of-39 for 412 with three TDs. Gore 21 carries for 44 with a TD. Boldin 13 catches for 208 (49ers debut record) with a TD. Davis 6 catches for 98 with a TD. Rodgers 21-of-37 for 333 with three TDs. James Jones 11 catches for 178 with two TDs.
Personnel watch
Boldin's 49ers-debut 208-yard receiving game. Kaepernick's career-best 412 passing day. The kind of opening Sunday home performance where the championship-window team's offseason additions and returning core produced the kind of complete-team home win the opener needed.
What it means
1-0 with the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field next Sunday. The opening home win over a contender confirms the championship-window team's third-year identity. The Seahawks rematch is the kind of NFC West road test the rebuild has been planning for.
