Based solely on today's loss.

Based solely on today's loss, what do you think is our biggest need in the off season?

 

Here is how I break it down.

 

The weakness at receiver was not as evident today.  I'm not even sure I remember any drops in this game.  Smith, Lafell, Ginn and Olsen all seemed to make plays today.

 

Not sure I'd blame Cam's sack on any of our guards or tackles.  Cam had plenty of time and it was our blocking backs and tight ends that could not hold their man.

 

I'm looking at our corners as our most glaring problem today.  Constantly were beat all day.  Kapernick didn't even have to scramble to make plays to his receivers.  Just straight up got beat.

 

And as many have said our play calling on offense is wanting.

i was impressed by the amount of time newton had in the pocket. if it wasn't for him getting beat up early in the game, he may have had the legs to make plays later in the game when no one was open.

 

something needs to be done about the run game. period.

 

no more patchwork secondary. what they did this season overall was commendable, but it's time for an over haul.

Oline, db, wr.

Oline needs personnel that match the teams philosophy. If this is a run first team, you need your oline to be a force, not merely adequate.

DB, defense is the best in the league once this gets fixed

WR, Ginn is improving but not a star, Lafell is essentially a skinny tight end praised for blocking but with bricks for hands. And 89, the best player this franchise has ever had, may be done. At most he has a year left.

everyone bashes godfrey but if he returns healthy that would bode well for our secondary.........mitchell isn't really a ball hawk but he does very well in other areas and mikel is getting older still a solid pick-up

1. OC that doesn't go full retard

2. CB, way too many WRs open this year

3. OL, no run game because of it. Cam has to rush his timing most of the time

4. WR, Need more weapons.

Biggest need is OC.  Cam needs to get rid of the ball quicker.  Our O-line did a pretty good job today, but Cam needs to make quicker reads.

10 points will not win many games.

A new offensive coordinator, offensive line, a complete new receiving corps outside of Smitty (if he comes back), a new RB, 2 starting CBs. Easy enough.

If you look at a lot of the sacks have to put some blame on Cam, holding ball too long, not processing decisions quick enough. 

Is he good enough to take us all the way? That's the question.  I'm not so sure...

[sguil1]

Need a guy like Russel Wilson, has the skill plus the mental aspect.

[Snake]

OC,RG,RT,LT,WR, then CB. Really I think we might have some good WRs on this team but I doubt Shula will use them.

[Dunn]

I still think WR is #1, O line to me is good for the pure fact it was a patch job for much of the season, if we can get a healthy Oline...that is an area I think we will be fine at.  CB is #2 to me, we had great fill-ins this year but not a shut-down corner like we wanted.

[shaka]

100% WR.  Then secondary, then O-line.  If we don't address anything on the defensive side of the ball we'll still be a top 10 defense, and if thats what we gotta do to get some serious offensive firepower around Cam, then do it.  

[Goondal]

1) Offensive Coordinator

2) CB

3) WR (one tall one, small quick one)

4) OL (depending on Gross's situation this could move up on the list)
