My two cents


TN05

Recommended Posts

1) This game heavily reminded me of the Steelers game last year, just getting demolished by a superior offense with a ton of shifty players. Particularly concerning was how much of this came from the tight end and running back position. Obviously it doesn't help when your defense is on the field for most of the game, but we seem to struggle against these sorts of defenses to save the least.

2) Kyle Allen has been figured out, at least if your offense can score consistently. Allen is a good quarterback in the short and intermediate passing game, but while his deep ball is better than late-state 2018 Cam, that's only because Allen can actually throw it downfield - he's not actually very good at it. The niners stuffed the box and dared us to throw deep, then sent pass rushers like mad at Allen to give him no time to pass. A more mobile quarterback might have been able to avoid the pass rush better, but if the line implodes Allen doesn't really have the ability to make the plays himself.

3) All things considered I'm not entirely deflated but man does this suck. 51-13 is really bad, but many of those points were scored in garbage time with short fields because we decided to play aggressively while down. The margin doesn't concern me as much as the reasons why the margin is a thing are. I think we can beat Tennessee next week, even if Allen starts, because their offense really isn't anything special, but we don't really have a chance against Green Bay without a healthy Cam. Most of our playoff seasons have had a spanking game, not like this, but still something bad. We need to bounce back strong to keep this from being the long-term trend.
