San Fran is not a bad team. They had the Falcons beat until Nate Clements fumbled an INT return when he should have taken a knee and the game would have been over. They have been done in by poor late game execution and bad coaching (Singletary is not ready to be an NFL coach).

Keep in mind probably the only reason we won was because David Carr was under center.

Every game on every Sunday has a situation like that, where something is out of the oridinary. You can't say that's the ONLY reason we won. For all we know next Sunday, Sam Bradford could have a bad day, or their defense or we could just play even better. Or we might suck.

There is no ideal, consistent game week after week. That was one of the inconsistencies. We could also say the only reason we didn't BLOW OUT the 49'ers is because our run game has yet to take off. I mean there is like a million combinations. Every week, a win is attributed to multiple factors for or against a team. That was one of them that worked out in our favor.

In the end, when all is said and done, we played good enough to win. In the end that's what matters.

You could also look at it from this perspective - we passed up a sure 3 by going for it on 4th down (The Gettis miss), then held them to get the ball back and score the tieing TD (which would have been a go ahead score if we had kicked the 3 earlier).

you can go crazy with all the what ifs and maybe's.

This is not the BCS, a win by 3, 30 or 1, all count the same - I am more happy for an interesting game to watch for a change. I'm happy we won, but more happy that we didn't roll over and mail it in.

David Carr being just prevented them from passing for a single first down for almost an entire half.

Yeah, stuff like that happens all the time.

Bottom line, our defense looked meh, and our offense looked like it is improving but is still very much meh.

Great we won, but we're not yet to the competitive level. Complain about the truth if you want, but the same people on here that are getting pumped about this win are the same one's that will cry in utter disbelief when most of the rest of our schedule shows how pathetic our offense really is.

How much football do you watch? It happens each and EVERY week we've had our backup play along with about 15 other teams it happens. No one cares if your backup is good enough to complete passes ask any cowgirls fans. Or steelers or Lions down to there third string or arizona or bears etc. Thats an exscuse no one cares who is playing qb the are paid to do their job like everyone else. poo they werent saying oh we beat the panthers and Jimmy C because he couldnt move the ball it was simply we beat the Panthers end of story.

The rest of our schedule is actually against lessers defenses than we have seen? What are you talking about the only defensive test are B.more and Pitt. wow the mighty ATL d or the rams what about NO who Jimmy could have beat or Az man please it gets easier for our offense not harder. Oh yeah the browns 24th in the league our O may have been pathetic but we are on track might not be fixed but we are leaps and bounds ahead of where we were and with a few weak defenses the next few weeks we should be good to go.

      This guy pre-draft was saying he could take or leave football, and he seems to have been playing with that mentality ever since lol.

      Time to Start Roughing Out the '26 Draft--Needs and Pecking Order

      By BritishPanther · Posted

      Agreed, another safety would be nice. Bud Clark, TCU, is one I would like to see us take a flyer on later in the draft, if he stays healthy and we don't take someone earlier. I just really hope we draft a solid C this year. Tired of seeing us cycle through average to below average players in that area.

      Downfield Disparity

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Bryce doesn't like throwing into the middle of the field unless the play broke down or it's set up to give him a passing lane.  So because of this issue, most of the passing offense has to be outside the numbers towards the boundary. So you see him throw a lot of dump offs, swing routes, short side out routes, comebacks or deep balls outside the numbers using the boundary as protection of an interception.    Pretty easy for a NFL defense to see this and scheme against it.  All you have to do is run a shell cover 2 deep dime, LB plays a hook underneath, take the flat away with a blitz/flat zone option for the two inside DB's, outside two DB's play hook zone underneath and carry anything deep.    Pretty much what NO ran to take away Rico while also limiting What Bryce can do as well.
