I know our D is missing 3 huge players but our O isn't and still looks not good. In a game that we need to score 30 we might struggle to score 20. Starting to think this might not get fixed this year.
I think our run game is predictable. We don't have fast enough backs to kick it out, so while our interior OL is good if you clog that up we aren't good enough to get the edge fast enough to take advantage.
There have been a hand full of qb's this year that have looked better. We aren't talking about a couple games we are talking about 3/4 of the season. If we didn't play the Raiders he would have terrible stats. Not sure what is going on but I hope we aren't ruining him by trying to make him something he isn't. I hope this is a learning stage that will help him down the road in his career and not something that is draining his confidence and mojo. The last 2-3 drives couldn't look any more different from the first drive and that is something happening every single game. What gives?
Gotta know where Bosa is and send help if its on Niang's side. Mahomes missed another play looking over his shoulder for Bosa and this time he didn't look and it cost us.....or should have cost us if not for an idiot decision by Staley.
Anyone else getting concerned about Mahomes? Is he trying so hard to be this pocket passer that takes check downs that he's too timid to thread a needle? When was the last time he forced a throw into a tight window? He's looked off tonight.
If the O can get their act together and score here we are back on track. Need a TD here.
With that said why did we stop working the short/intermediate routes. First drive we killed it and then half way through that 2nd drive we started all this cute behind the LOS crap. Not of it has worked well.
The reality is these aren't backups. This is the entire D minus Chris Jones and Sneed. Everyone else started the beginning of the year. No reason for this dysfunction. Seriously. We started good and then laid off and gave back the momentum. On a 4th and 1 where you have the opportunity to get off the field with no points on a horrible ST and O drive. Call the TO and get your D set. Happened again and they score.
