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 
Josh McCown just set the all-time Browns’ record for passing yardage in a game with 400 and a whole bunch more in the OT win over Harbaugh Sr.’s Ravens. Johnny Football is gonna have to wait another day. Or week. Or month, or season. Who knows, they’re the Browns?
It has been crazy so far today, lots of OT. Hopefully the Niners can pull one out of the hat today, not likely but I’m crossing the fingers and jumping up and down like a fool, maybe that will work.
Im all for jumping up and down like a fool
Woodson broke a 17 year drought against Peyton. Two picks today – the second one was a beaut.
I think we’ll give NY all they can handle tonight. Im hoping for the upset but figure on probly 20 – 17 giants
Hey Berger. Omg lost ur new number
Trying to call
Cmon 9ers pull can we pull our record to 2-3
this one could get ugly. I’m gonna watch this game through my slightly separated fingers that I’ll have covering my face….
How the fuck did Seattle blow a 24-7 lead? That shit doesn’t happen to them. Must have missed The Legion today…..
It happened in the Super Bowl. These are not the same Hawks. They’re good, but the O is erratic and the secondary isn’t where it was a couple of years ago. They were damn lucky to get to the SB last year.
Why didn’t we pass there goddammit where are the rollouts ???
So far, the “major changes” look like the same old bullshit.
Eric Pears is a fucking BOZO. This is bullshit this guy being on the field. He can’t even run block, a complete piece of shit.
We need to get to manning
So last week the D looked very improved. What the hell is going on tonight?? And don’t get me started on the O line!! Oh what the hell, let’s go there, why pray tell do opposing teams QB’s look like they have all day to wait for plays to develope?? And make the pass plays!
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…
