The Packers didn't put 5 guys between the tackles. They put 3 guys over the center and guards then had the Smith's linedup outside of the tackles or even sometimes outside of the TE. So I assumie you didn't mean the same configuration, right?
That Packers formation basically created a huge alley outside of the DE but between the LB. When the LB tried to adjust to fill that alley, space was created outside.
Jonnydel does a great job of showing the scheme here:

JT O'Sullivan's QB school did a long breakdown of every run play.

I understand what the Packers tried to do.
I also understand what the Pats did.
I ALSO understand what the Chiefs did just 10 days ago. If they didn't stack the box against the Titans, they won't do it against the 49'ers. The Titans run basically the same blocking schemes, though the 49'ers have more speed and use a lot of misdirection. If we could handle the physicality of Tennessee, with their huge, mauling line and 250 pound Derrick Henry, then it makes no sense at all that we would try to beef up the box more against the 49'ers, leaving ourselves open to the off-tackle outside runs.
They made a statement against Tennessee that we were going to do what we do, and make you beat it. I expect they'll do the same this week. We'll stay in our rush lanes, we'll contain outside with our DE's, we'll clog the middle with our hungry pigs, and flow to the ball. We'll play disciplined, tough football just like we have for the last 8 games.
We're going to force Jimmy G. to beat us. Maybe you feel like he can; and perhaps you'll be right.
But I doubt it.
If you think you guys are just going to run roughshod over us as if we were Green Bay or Minnesota, you're mistaken.
