Did Vance know what he was doing in the first quarter?
The 49ers only had like 9 offensive snaps in the entire first quarter.

Hire one of the Ryan brothers?

Kliff Kingsbury said there’s been no conversation about firing Vance Joseph. I would be shocked if he was let go. It’s a personnel issue more than a coaching issue
I guess I'd have to disagree about it being a good gamble if you know the players you are gambling with might not necessarily be able to perform said gamble correctly.Calling the blitz was okay. It was the play design that was at fault. Keep in mind SF was using a second string kicker who last week missed what would be a similar pressure FG. Also a previous blitz had worked well. Finally I’d say overtime favored the more experienced team and the Niners were more effective in the second half. With a losing season virtually assure VJ went for the win, hopefully putting the kicker out of range.
The design issue came with putting CJ in coverage. Of course he was being asked to cover a weak receiver, I’m sure with instructions to hold if necessary were given. Sadly for the Cards the Niners are the better team. They diagnosed the blitz and beat the Cards with a hot read. CJ failed to stay close enough to hold.
It was just a good gamble, poorly executed.
So silly to not admit the DC's role in any of this..imo. No one was blaming personnel after we had a 16-0 lead.. 2-3 dominant possessions we stopped and then all of a sudden the floodgates open..scott bordow (@sbordow)
