Clueless in Seattle

Here we are at the game many circled to be the biggest one of the season instead looks to be one I just may have to turn off by half time. The team could not be more ripe for an absolute ass kicking than right now. The owner is actively undermining the head coach. The head coach is lying through his teeth while the team just crumbles around them. The new stadium is a corporate nightmare of little excitement and people networking in the through half time and most of the 3rd quarter.

Frankly, I think we have about a 2% chance of winning this game. I don’t see any way that the Niners can pull out of this tailspin. There are just way too many things stacked against them. Least of all the fact that Seattle is getting healthy and is establishing themselves as the best team in the league. If we can get shut down by the Raiders, what do we look to get against the Seattle.  They are in hyper-kill mode here. Carroll has a bunch of crow waiting for ol’ Jimbo. I think he’ll be eating a lot of it.

    Good time to see who’s playing for pride and who’s playing for a paycheck Chuck.

    Killer for me was, 10 days of prep time for the Raiders amounted to a big eff’n dud.
    If that’s the best we’ve got, this isn’t going to be close to the game we all expected it to be.

    Well, the ground was laid during the bye week and then the St L turd game. SOmething that feels like the beginning of the end for the offense.

      Bucky Larsen in Oakland nailed it.
      Dysfunction Junction in Santa Clara.

      • Berger's avatar Berger says:

        Mark Davis nailed it when he told Harbaugh before the game that we stole their dysfunction. I find it a wow moment when an owner says that to an opposing head coach.

    Oh where did the season go?……gone for good. Bye.

  5. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Is anyone jazzed for this game?

    I just have a very bad feeling about this one. Carroll has been waiting to put it to Harbaugh and this is the perfect opportunity.

    Jimbo will be the one yelling at Pete after the game “What’s the Deal” running up the score!!!

    Bowman is back on the roster. Is save him for next year. No sense risking him now.

    Doesn’t look good I admit but any given Sunday and all that. Maybe they paid attention to Steve Young and take it on their own shoulders.

  9. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Apparently Baalke talked to Kappy bout his attitude among other things. Someone has to start talking

  10. 12th man's avatar 12th man says:

    NF,
    On the last thread I asked if you were satisfied with the play calling. You came back with asking about a specific play, what would I rather have done, etc.

    I am not a pro OC, much like Roman, but my analogy in reply to you is:

    I don’t need to see every brush stroke of a painting to know if I like it, I just look at the picture.

    You continue to look at each play in isolation and figure out what went wrong. That’s cool and all but it is a snap shot in time and a piece of the puzzle.

    To me its a matter of the flow, composition and timing all coming together to outplay the opposing D. I just don’t see the play calling as dictating much of anything. It feels haphazard, disjointed, a series of things that sounded good in the coaches meeting that seem to take not enough account of what the D is doing.

    This is not only about this particular year for me. At least as far as the passing game is concerned it has mostly been underwhelming.

    Just my thoughts obviously.

    • Nipper's avatar Nipper says:

      7-6 is very underwhelming. It’s those darn expectations!

    • NoFear49er's avatar NoFear49er says:

      So your original question was merely rhetorical. Imagine my surprise!

      • 12th man's avatar 12th man says:

        Not at all rhetorical. I didnt ask did you like such and such a play at 3rd and 10 in the 4th. I asked if you like the play calling. Its an in general question.

        I’ve read your critique of players singularly but don’t recall your analysis of the OC playcalling, not play by play but overall.

        I was just interested in your take on it.

  11. I asked 12th a bunch of questions in response to his comment last thread and got no answers.

    Odd

  12. NJ49er's avatar NJ49er says:

    12th I like the term ‘disjointed’.
    I’d 2nd that analogy.

    It plays to the overall ‘rhythm’, that I’ve long sought .
    Putting together a ‘script’ IMO, means looking for the proper sequence of successful plays, then, stringing them together.
    Toss out the plays that fail more often, replace them with those you find more success with.
    Simple in game adjustments seem to have been lacking with this Offense for far too long.

    Good ‘schemes’ typically keep an Offense rolling whereas, we continually find ourselves sputtering and stalling.

    For me, you win games by wearing down an opponent physically.
    If you can’t do it with the Ground and Pound approach, take what’s given in the passing game.
    Move the sticks, keep the opposing D on the field.
    3 & outs do more harm to our own Defense in that regard, wearing them down.

    Much of that can be attached to Kaep of late but, Coaches should be there, play by play, series by series, to identify what he’s missing.
    Enforcing a positive strategy isn’t something left for post game film review, it should be identified in game, with corrections offered to adjust to game flow.

      So Parcells says Kap doesn’t have a very good supporting cast. I wish Bill would have given the details as to why he said that because that’s what I’ve been saying. I think it is the coaching that is the poor supporting cast and it is hurting him as well as the the entre offense.

      • phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

        Bergs others have speculated he’s also talking about players drafted/acquired which he might tread lightly on since Ballskey was mentored by Parcells.

        Dunno, thought it was an interesting comment

  13. YOU’RE A MEAN ONE MR. __ RIN__ __ “Song Title”

    The two fucking mooks on WOF tonight called a ‘B’. Yet they won the most cash and went to the Bonus Round and won an additional $32K.

    This is what the fuck I’m talking about when I say people either do or don’t *deserve* things. I’m sitting here with my cat watching Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga again on PBS. Minus the $32K. This shit ain’t right. I don’t deserve this.

    Merry Christmas

    Imagine my surprise you don’t answer his question, No Fear.

    I’ll ask it. Are you happy with Roman and the play calling?

    Lay off the glue, Dennis

    Warriors win! Steve Kerr is the first coach n NBA history to start a career at 19-2!

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Hell of a game. Barnes is getting his due this year. He did not do well under Jackson,, He’s doing much better under Kerr

  17. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    On radio today, one of the “insiders” said Bowman won’t play this year. They put him on the roster just to lend some stability to the ship. I thought, well, fine. But, what does that say about the sinking ship — you put a guy on it who’s not there to help bail the flooding himself — he’ll just clap to help keep everybody else continue bailing…

  18. NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

    Berger my early Draft research puts WR Jaelen Strong from AZ St in the pole position, with DeVante Parker from Louisville a close 2nd.

    Strong – 6’4″ 212 / 4.55
    Big strike zone for quarterbacks with a sturdy frame and long arms. Very good hand-eye coordination and appears to have enormous mitts that swallow the ball. Made several one-handed stabs appear routine throughout film study. Tracks the ball well and shows very good body control adjusting to throws outside cylinder. Very good focus in traffic to secure throws with defenders hanging onto him.

    Has some build-up speed, but top-end speed is competitive for size and enough to challenge vertically. A 1-on-1 downfield and red zone problem. Pulls in a lot of throws in jump ball situations due to size, strength and leaping ability. Adequate foot quickness for size but lacks ideal elusiveness and doesn’t appear to have breakaway speed. Strong runner and who will break some attempted tackles in the open field.

    Attacks the ball like a power forward in the air. Willing to do the dirty work in the middle of the field. Competitive runner after the catch that fights for yards. Effort can improve but effective as a run-blocker when getting into position. Has the size and strength to cover up defenders downfield.

      Sounds great. I’ll watch some of his video. Right now I’m leaning toward WR Funchess and NT Shelton. Of course that can change.
