Byron Bell, Brandon LaFell and Melvin White lost us this game

LaFell, tipped ball leading to a pick and key drops, despite good run blocking.

 

Bell, poor run blocking at 3rd and 4th and short and giving up sacks in the 3rd quarter.

 

White, poor coverage on Boldin. UDFA from Lousiana LaFayette should not be covering a Super Bowl winning WR. Norman or Thomas would have done better.

 

Honorable mention goes to Captain, but only because we used him incorrectly as a #1 or #2 corner, when, because of his height, he should only play the nickel.

 

 

Those are my thoughts on that game and this team moving forward. I think these are the weakest links on our team, and they need to be addressed. Now, I'm going to do my best to forget this game while still remembering what a good season this has been.

lol LaFell?? That was a terrible throw. Bell, along with the Oline overall played as well as they could considering the situations they were out in. And I think our whole secondary got exposed today. If anything I was really disappointed in our pass rush today, Hardy and Johnson were essentially non-existent

    • We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.   
    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
