What is the bigger concern going forward this season?

Ron better get the Run D right.  He has a built in excuse with the backup QB.  

[Ornias]

Run defense, and Kyle needs to hold onto the ball while getting hit. Kyle is on his 8th game. Ron is on his second decade and we are still inconsistent on the defensive side of the ball.

Run defense. I think we can win a lot of games with Kyle at QB and stay in this wild card race. 

[Ricky Spanish]

Run D. Kyle can manage a game to victory. We can't ask him to put the team on his back and win a shootout/climb out of a huge hole created by the defense.

Ability to throwing the ball and stop the pass are the bigger indicators of success in the league now.

For defense:

Top 10 rushing defenses winning percentage: 0.560

Top 10 passing defenses winning percentage: 0.598

For offense:

Top 10 rushing offenses winning percentage: 0.652

Top 10 passing defenses winning percentage: 0.554

 

All of these are based on yards per game statistics.

Kyle Allen quits fumbling the damn ball and throwing interceptions. If he didn’t throw a damn red zone interception and fumble a snap when the game was still early and close, we would’ve won even if GB had rushed for 500 yd.

The Seahawks overcame 4 turnovers including a fumble on the 49ers 2 yard line and still dug down and found a way to get a big road win. Things happen over the course of a football game, even CMC had a fumble that we were fortunate to recover.

But if we can't stop the run and keep getting bullied in the trenches, this team won't go far, no matter who is at QB.

Run defense. If they can’t stop the run, games will be over if the team gets down even by 1 score. Kyle Allen has been getting better.

24-16 is a shootout?

No I wouldn't say ask him to put the team on his back, but we can certainly cut down on the turnovers, especially late in games.

Coaching, we’re destined to be in football purgatory with our current staff.

doesn't always matter if you can stop the pass...if you can't stop the run though.

[TheRed]

The hapless Titans whom we defeated barely 2 weeks ago dropped 35 points on Sunday defeating the Chiefs.

16 points is simply not going to be enough to win against anyone in this NFL but teams that will be drafting in the top 5 come April.

Hahaha....hey guess what....Russel threw a damn inteception too during crunch time at 49ers vs Seahawks game......good god it fuging happens to them all.  But he hung in there and still managed to finish the game because of the TEAM effort.  Kyle made mistakes and still hung in there and brought us close to tieing the game against Greenbay in the freaking snow....but the TEAM effort especially run D was piss poor and sadly CMC couldn't punch it in due to a miss block!!!  It feels like we're the only team that can give up a freaking 3rd and 10 or 12 or even 19 every damn time, it is infuriating!

 this. Our trenches need major work in the offseason. IDK WTH has happened to our defense and our OL play has been spotty since SB50.
