Canales

They said on the broadcast last night what I have been saying. Canales is limited to what he can do because of Bryce. Last week in Atlanta he seemed genuinely so happy that he got to use most of the playbook and Bryce set a record. But from week to week we never know which Bryce is going to show up. The Atlanta Bryce was obviously a fluke. If he could play Atlanta every week he'd be good. 

can't do a QB sneak
can't do any designed QB runs that go up the middle/danger zone

I noteably posted a thread following the Saints game defending Canales for his play calling.  Again, I still do not think he called a bad game against New Orleans.  That said, As bad as bryce was, Canales was equally awful.  In the saints game, they legit sold out and stopped the run and because of that he was forced to pass and it was bryce not excecuting that caused the problems.

Yesterday however, play design was as poor as the actual play itself.  SF did not sell out to stop the run, we were hitting 6 ypc, but we just said no.  When we did pass it was throws to the flat, no down field, none of what was successful last week.  If we did throw past 5 yards it went to one single guy.  It was all around putrid.

I will defend his first down at the one playcall however, this was way early and he hadnt had yet to see the run game succeed really like he did later, the biggest problem was that was one of the worst reads I've ever seen a QB make.  There were 5 guys on the reciever...everyone was covered, throw the fuging ball away.

However, from there, instead of seeing that his QB had turned back into a pumpkin, he doubled down in an "effort" to get him in a "rhythm"...although without uptempo, without movement, just safe throws to the flat.  Clearly he lost faith in bryce after that, but instead of focusing on the thing thats successful, he abandoned the run game.

Not me. I want his ass gone too. He's is solely responsible for the loss last night.

I hate Canales but I think he’d have to lose out to justify the firing.

Good thing we have a schedule that might oblige that.

if we used the MIA, Dallas, and GB games gameplan last night against the 49ers, we blow them out with the 3 INTs

But instead we get Canales out smarting himself

Miami and Dallas have the worst defenses in the league.

Packers game plan managed 16 points and won on a fluke.

they’re not a good offense.

So do the 49ers though you look at their defensive metrics they were near the bottom in about everything that mattered. 

I'm sure we helped their stats now however with our (offensive) performance.

Dallas is historically bad on defense.

Miami is trash.

they had two good games from a rb on a one year deal and everyone overreacted and thought we’d signed Gayle Sayers.

i don’t doubt saleh would have figured out a way to stop a hypothetical run heavy offense either. Bryce can’t hit poo

Green Bay actually has a good defense much better than the 49ers.

This game should of been reflective of Dallas and Miami with both offenses moving the ball and the first defense that gets a stop wins at the end.

Nothing about 49ers defensive numbers show they were capable of shutting down anything other than an incompatible offense that clearly the Panthers have.

You are probably right but you have to make him prove it. You change only if he proves it.

His seat has to be hot! In the 2 most pivotal games this year, NO at home and SF on Monday night football, he finds a way to look even worse than BY! He needs to give up play calling duties, and hope it changes the trajectory, if he truly wants to keep his job. 9 carries by our RBs and 2 pass attempts to TEs against a team who is extremely weak at LB position is unacceptable. His use of TOs was terrible and his decision on when to go for it and when not to was terrible! I think we need him gone and bring in someone who picks the QB they want to run the offense. This just isn't working. 

You have pretty high standards for a fan of a franchise that hasn't had a winning record in nearly a decade.

Dude is winning with a team in full rebuild mode with a traffic cone at QB.
