Well, the travel weary Niners came back from their 2 game roadie, I should say the defense came back from their 2 game roadie. The offense is circling Turlock in a holding pattern. A pattern where no one gets open and no one catches shit. In a game that saw very solid pressure from the base D, the 49ers befuddled and harassed Aaron Rodgers well enough to win this game. Unfortunately, the offense is circling the drain amid more sniping from T Smith, and ineffective blocking. Teams are daring us to beat them through the air, and since we can’t block, we are struggling mightily to even get first downs, let alone touchdowns.
CK had another underwhelming day, and the blocking was it’s usual porous self, but VMcD had a big drop on what would have been an early 1st down, the refs got CK on a call that was ludicrous at best, we had the 1st Packer drive stopped but for a ticky-tack illegal hands, and a missed facemask call on BJ Raji.
Granted, those are little things that decent teams can overcome. But not us. As the game progressed, there was less and less time, more and more pressure, and dwindling confidence offensively as a whole. CK did hit T Smith on a nice deep pass, but that ended in a 4th and 5 play where an all-out blitz was met with the usual slow-developing pass play that had zero chance of working.
This offense is struggling with the same things that they were last year. Poor line play, and no help for the relentless pass rush CK faces all the time. I’m not even going to mention screens, because they won’t work against teams playing us so close to the line. How about a slant? A play that gets the ball out in under 3 seconds?
Either CK isn’t able to do this, or we just don’t have this shit in the playbook. I hate to belabor this point, but the Previous QB suffered the same fate. No quick hitters. No hot-read passes. No slants. I can’t profess to know, but I know Reid throws quick passes, and Young Sir Alex can make that throw. No reason to think CK can’t do the same.
But until the line play improves significantly (shuffle the line already) and the team comes up with a different strategy to slow down the relentless pressure, we will continue down this path.
Forty Niners Forever 
Tiller is in
Run
No flag ?
Cmon pick
Better late than never
Kap actually showed a pulse the last half of the second quarter. Zero running lanes for Hyde. These can’t pass block, run block, nothing.
Sweet touch pass to Boldin on 3rd and 1. Terrible effort by McDonald on the following play.
What was that? A pass of over 20 yards?
Hard to believe…
Now that they’re in the Red Zone, time for lousy play calls again…
Hayne!
Let’s go here. Cannot settle for idiotic plays that end up with a field goal…
I’LL BE A MONKEY’S FUCKING UNCLE! A TOUCHDOWN!
LOL
Wow. An actual touchdown pass.
We need to mark this occasion. Actually throwing the ball downfield helps move the chains. Who woulda thunk it?…
Kap
Where my ninas at
knotted at 13 this late in the game? NIce!!!!
Lurker how do u like our d now go kap 🙂
I mean flav
Why not throw a long pass on a 3rd and 20? WTF not? At 1-3, what are you protecting?
You get 4 yards on a low risk play — is that worth anything on the ensuing punt? The Niners have turned into some sort of pansy ass team afraid of its own shadow…
I agree
There is just no defending that! Nice play Beckham
Looks like the acquisition of Reggie Bush was basically a waste for at least the first half of the season. This guy gets hurt wallking out of the locker room. Boy, what a surprise…
It was that marriage to Kim Kardashian. I think he’s still sore.
Kappy looks a million times better than he has the last three weeks. Win or lose, get him a couple games like this under his belt and maybe he can return to his primo form.
Why would you run a sweep when you’re on the 2? Idiotic play calling in the Red Zone…
That play shows why this is a passing league, 9 times out of ten the receiver gets the call!!
Colin’s play is like night and day!!
Nice kap answer back 20-20 flav
Where is the blitz??
Acker shows why good receivers who can’t catch are called cornerbacks.
Where the hell was has this been
Colin should keep the ball.
Why do the Niners seem to get down right near the goal line, then start moving backward? Run Kap on a roll and he either passes or darts into the EZ…
Exactly what they did. And, they get a holding call that gives them a first down…
Would’ve been a TD if Smith hadn’t been held. Good call.
