Yea this isn’t 2012 Brady or the patriots. He’s lost a of games this year in really ugly and unprecedented fashion. This is a a case of having some really special CBs. We should have made adjustments to slow down Evans but the reality is the horn injury (thanks Chinn) cost us this game. Neither CJ Henderson nor Keith Taylor should be on this team or any team next year and they were CB1 and CB2 today. If you took away positions they are comparable in NFL level skill to Nate Chandler.  Henderson is benwekiere.

Why do so many people on this board think other teams aren't going to score? Even good defenses are giving up 30 points this is the NFL if you want to be relevant your offense has to go toe to toe and not kick field goals. I'm over the defensive identity of this team. I want to build a juggernaut offense.

The Niners gave up 400 yards of offense and 3 touchdowns to Jarrett Stidham yesterday and had to take it to overtime to put the Raiders away. There is no path to the playoffs where you are going to win with an offense putting up less than 30 points.

Gotta take your chances on that. If something is working you gotta try something different.

Wilks has been willing to do that before.

Bottom line for me about yesterday though is I don't think anything was going to matter. We weren't winning that game.

I'd throw in that Bowles and his defensive staff seemed to do a better job handling our offense as the game went on.

You can't keep leaving overmatched CBs on an island with a guy who is just absolutely smoking them deep. You have to have a safety rolled over the top of Evans every snap. Yeah, other guys might eat you up then. But you have to take your chances on that because what you know for sure is that Mike Evans is tearing you up RIGHT NOW and you gotta change that.

See above.

We could be Dr Strange and play out an infinite number of "what if" scenarios from yesterday but still wind up with nothing in the end. And no matter what else occurs, I don't see Wilks getting the full time job...and I'm okay with it.

I'd throw in that I think Chris Godwin is very underrated. He's long been a guy I'd be happy to have wearing our colors.

Then the posts would be, "why didn't we double team Godwin. We failed to adjust to stop him."

At least you tried something different. Leaving Evans singled up was begging to lose. Try to find other instances in the NFL where a single receiver has 3 DEEP TDs against single man coverage. It's rare for multiple reasons but one of the key ones is that you're gonna stop leaving that guy on an island because you realize that isn't working.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
