For those who say our game plan didn't work

[Growl]

Lets be real. Even if D Will didnt fumble and we got a TD, our D was gassed at that point and all Seattle needed was a FG to go up by 1 and chances are high they would have came back and scored a FG anyway and won.

 

but it wouldn't have mattered because we had 14 whole points.

I vote to put over/unders on how many posts it takes to mention "Madden" and/or, my favorite, "REAL football fans"

he did it yesterday and even threw in the "this isn't college" when i mentioned that what we did didn't work because we only scored once and lost and all we needed to do was score more than 12, which 27 other offenses managed to do this weekend.

"Guys! I mean sure yeah we only had 7 points but stop looking at that! If Deangelo doesn't fumble we have 14 and we're talking about a dominant NFL offense here! You madden players need to quit with your darn dreams of accomlishing fantastical feats like 28 points! that isnt the way the real world works!!"

 

Needs more :) 's

So we are all in agreement right? Seattle only scored 12 points so they are the 4th worst team in the NFL?

Right guys? Cuz thats how football works

In one quarter of football I saw a poorly thrown ball by Kaepernick and a Vernon Davis dropped 20+ yarder

HOW DID THE 49ERS OVERCOME THOSE GRIEVOUS ERRORS?

this is a ridiculous OP

 

is everybody forgetting the kind of QB we have?

[the_philosopher]

Thanks for this OP. You're exactly right. Even just FG's on those 3 drives would give us 16 points in a game where there just weren't many offensive drives (thanks to clock-eating run game and muffed punt). I'm willing to wait another week before I say "Here we go again."

Hey fun fact guys: Only one starting QB attempted fewer passes than Cam Newton this weekend.

If you have a recovering alcoholic for a friend and he breaks and goes out to the bar, you don't say "Geez it was just a few beers guys. RELAX!"

Offensive possessions matter. We had 3 in the 2nd half....Philly for example had 5 in the first quarter.

You want more attempts then the O needs the ball more

If you need 100% execution success for your gameplan to work....

 

you're doing it wrong.

 

Not saying that the gameplan couldn't have been better (because it could have), but execution on even 50% of the plays mentioned above likely puts the team in a position to win.  The coaches have commented on 'opening up' the gameplan and if they do Carolina may enjoy a wider margin for human error, but only time will tell if they actually makeit happen.

LOL, don't you dare call him out on this! he is perfectly right. NOTHING at all is considered except passing yards! Not our 5 yards per rush, not olsen dropping 2 HUGE gains that would have given Cam more yards, extended drives, put us in at least FG range, and ultimately given us more points. Not even DWill putting the ball on the ground that would have basically won the game for us. Nope! none of that matters here cuz we are only speaking "in theory.

 

This is how every convo goes with dumb people on here:

 

Me: "Here are some REAL examples as to why our gameplan was fine and we just didnt execute"

Them: "the playcalling sucked"

 

Me: Well, the gameplan would have looked VERY good if olsen held on to 2 of the easiest balls in his career. then drives would have kept going and we would have at very least scored a FG on both"

Them: "yeah but the play calling blew ass"

 

Me: What? I just gave 4 examples of drives with GREAT play calls, that the players blew

Them: "............. LOLZ yur stupid! Da Eagles ran more playz den us so we are da worst!" (and other examples that they have to throw out instead of admitting they are actually making my point for me)

What a gripping conversation you are having with yourself.

 

Life Tip: If you have to constantly remind yourself and others how smart you are, you probably aren't that smart.
