Or respectability. 1.5 games separate the last place Seahawks from the 1st place Cards, so these division wins are very very important. Seattle isn’t anything resembling their old bad-ass selves, so the Niners need to take care of biz and stomp these guys. Beyond that, we are 2 wind behind the last WC spot held by the WashComs so winning the west would be our best path.
This seems to be the year of the injury, and we aren’t out of the woods on that count yet, as George Kittle has been battling a hamstring injury and is a game-time decision. He’s having his best season so far, and he usually gets himself out there. People are already calling him out, but we will see.
Seeing as Seattle sucks against the run, Shanny will likely come out throwing. Let’s hope this ins’t the case. Play both Mason and CMC. Mix shit up. Everything is too vanilla. I’m getting really pissed off as Shanahan’s lack of ability to score in the red zone, and his play calling in general. I do not understand the going away from misdirection plays and play action. These things work well but aren’t used enough.
No more Deebo up the middle.
And we all know about the defense. We should be showing a lot more 5 man fronts and causing more confusion up front. Nick Bosa is banged up, and the pressure is inconsistent at best. We don;t poressure enough so we aren’t getting the interceptions we should be. Deommodore Lenoir will be responsible for DK Metcalf, so that is the matchup to look at. They can’t run for shit, so force Geno to throw and blitz his ass.
I have been screaming at my TV, 5 man front or blitz!! It’s like their mind set is Bosa was their first pick he does not need help. He is getting older these little injuries are going to start being more and more, especially if they don’t give him help. All the talk of get rid of Moody is BS, he was 23 for 25 last year. He will be fine. The only time Kyle will be able to get CMC of the field is if CMC runs to the sideline cause he iss gassed. Should Kyle force him out? I don’t think so.
Kittle is officially out. Floyd was supposed to help but he has been a ghost. We have all these great guys, but there’s little stunting, little blitzing, and nothing more than a standard 4 man rush. Easy to scheme against.
Esp when we play a short zone that consistently gives up 3rd downs. I don’t hear anyone calling this out but this team will fail against good teams playing this way.
All our wins had massive comebacks by our opponents.
Shanny has been coaching way too long to be such an abject failure at closing out games.
Kyle should absolutely force CMC out. Mason is perfectly fine as a running back who can take 10 touches. CMC should be limited to 15-18 touches. No need to overuse CMC coming off his injury.
Moody? If last game was an outlier, sure. If he keeps this up, all bets are off.
This is where Kyle needs to be more aggressive, 4th and 1? Go for it, more and more teams are doing that
You don’t wait till you are desperate for a score to go on 4th and 1
3rd down blues.
That was a coverage sack. They got in tho.
Good to see they are using Mason
Shanny’s reading my shit. Changing up the play calling in the red zone, and using Mason early.
Purdy Nice Run to the pylon as Seahawks doubled CMC but their line couldn’t hold the edge and bit inside creating the TD run..
Stupid shit, Purdy.
Fire Coach Shanahan immediately and replace him with Unca_Chuck. There’s more football knowledge dropped here on Niners Forever than anywhere else.
How many stupid fucking penalties does this team commit?
Mason should be getting a lot more carries. CMC isn’t running very well.
Running the ball with 24 seconds, yeah that will get you points. Throw a Hail Mary, 9 times out of 10 pass interference or a catch. Too many players in the end zone even if it was intercepted they would not go 99 yards for a score
Weeeeeeeee!!!!!!
Purdy had Deebo and CMC open for about 10-12 yards and didn’t throw.
And we have 4 pre-snap penalties to go with the 3 holdings.
With Bosa out we are gonna lose. We aren’t stopping anything.
Mason was running better then CMC
Nice 3rd down call, bad 1st down blocking.
There you go. Fucking stuipid shit.
Jennings is an absolute beast.
Now they need to get a stop on D
Kyle, quit worrying about the clock, go get a TD, prove to ever you know how to finish a game!!
WTF, a short pass?? Throw the ball down the field! Stupid call worried about the clock
Awful defense. Same look every motherfucking play.
With Bosa out they need to change things up.
Kyle still has not learned how to finish a game
Sad pathetic game. This defense is an absolute joke. They should fire Sorensen today.
Shanahan took zero shots in the end zone.
Sad game.
Well they managed to FUCKUP this game!!
Fuck this team!!
If Kyle knew how finish a game they wouldn’t need Bosa
Bottom of the Division which is where they should be!! Penalties/terrible coaching 1-3 in division says it all they suck and can’t close out a game!!!
They could fix this by scoring! Only 17 points with the players they have, it is embarrassing
Losing faith in Deebo. He did nothing today and never got open. Seattle gives up points by the truckload and we simply hold our way out of drives and blow all our opportunities to score TDs.
Purdy did his part with the stupid pick early, but this offense never took a shot deep. Seattle simply played everyone up close to the line and slowed us down. Shanahan’s adjustmennt was non-existent.
Why didn’t pearsal get any touches
This whole year has sucked and today was just more of the same.
Yep.
Perfectly said.
New thread is up.
