The most embarrassing thing about this loss


NAS

Recommended Posts

Our defense was demolished in the run game. I would rather get torched in the air than have someone run at us for 232 yards. That is really embarrassing for a so called top 10 front seven. And its been coming. They’ve looked suspect all season on run defense and Shanahan just exposed the blueprint against this Defense.

I think you have to tip your cap to San Fran's offensive game plan.  They executed nearly perfectly and really kept us off balance.  Every time we got pressure they had the screen dialed up.  The misdirection was insane and again executed perfectly.  It's not that we couldn't athletically compete, it's that we were completely unprepared for how they were going to attack.  Defense was on it heels all day.  This is a coaching/game plan issue.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. Watching their backs just waltz into the end zones untouched is infuriating.

The only people who call our front 7 a top 10 is this board. The people here have Homer goggles on 24/7/365. Any option that differs from their own is met with negativity and poo talking.

run defense has been bad all season long

we're literally 27th in the league in avg rushing yards allowed per game  at 135 per contest. It's a problem that's been apparent well beyond this one game.

These are worth noting as well avg rush yards per game for our opponents : 

  • #1 Tampa Bay (69 per game) 
  • #2 New Orleans (84)
  • #11 San Francisco (96)
  • #12 Tennesee (97)
  • #14 Los Angeles Rams (97)
  • #15 Seattle (103)
  • #16 Jacksonville (108)
  • #20 Indianapolis (111)
  • #21 Atlanta (118)
  • #24 Green Bay (124)
  • #25 Arizona (130)
  • #28 Washington (138)

So 6 out of our next 9 contests are against teams with middling or bad run Ds. With ATL 2x, Green Bay, and Washington CMC should be salivating.

You can break a team’s entire backbone with that kind of rushing attack. Literally, it’s different than watching your team give up a few bombs over the top. Getting gashed on the ground is just a visceral, demoralizing experience.

    • Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.
    • There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.
    • You are literally naming almost entirely instances where they are sitting behind a well established if not star player that was already on the team. That's a different scenario entirely.  Listen, if you want to make all the mental gymnastics for excuses, have at it. I think the facts are clear, Bryce Young is not an NFL caliber player. Furthermore, no amount of pine time nor change of scenery is likely to change that.
