What is Miller and Whiz thinking when they came up with this game plan? It doesn't matter if a defense is the worst in the history of the league; this is the NFL and if you are predictable, you will get beat!

O gameplan = Run Run Pass Punt... Run Run Pass punt

lol, I've been asking for a real OC for over a year. Why are we not running gun in no-huddle with Smith in there?

The coaches are trying to design plays to go long, but the problem is there's only about 2 seconds to get the ball off. If we're going to keep this crap o line, we have to call short quick routes.

Powell is the face of this running game. Give him 90% of the snaps. I agree, LSH is a 3rd down back and should only be used for chip blocking, passes, and delays/draw. No straight hand offs. Don't even use him for Play action because the defense won't worry about him making many yards.

Kolb wanted us to run the ball more and throw less, he's getting his wish.
I watched him completely overlook a few great screen openings. He's doing well considering the situation, but he REALLY needs to improve there. Powell or LSH would thrive in screen plays. Plus it'll put the D off, if only for a half a second

no. Talent wins championships


LSH should be only ST. He needs more space than our line gives and is better than Powell on STs
Powell should get majority of the carries. The kid is good. Get him some confidence and I think he can do some big things
Smith should be our up the gut power back

Mike Miller = Marc Trestman.

Knock Trestman all you want but his teams had some pretty damn good offenses.

Add 2 years of non stop Olineman in the draft & we'll be ok. ;)

If you can stomach watching this game again, focus on the o-line.

They fire off the ball get stood up and then pushed back on almost every play.

Forget about the play calling, the QB or the RB.
Until that gets straighten out nothing is going to change and I don't see it happening this year.

JMHO.

honestly, I think if we had the best oline in the league, we would be a SB caliber team with the squad we have now

We will never know...but Brandon they do suck balls :bang::bang::bang:

I also don't think our defense is as awesome as we think...I'll let you know after Horton leaves for a head gig next year.

I consider the DC a part of the D, so it wont be the same D IMO. If this **** keeps up this year, and Whiz doesn't can Miller and Grimm by next year, maybe Horton will be leaving his DC office for the HC office here. I like Whiz, he's done a LOT for this team, but there is only so long he can allow our line play to be the worst in the league before he NEEDS to hold their boss (Grimm) responsible. Same with the awful play calling. Run the ball with LSH every 1st down? Why not just ask the refs to start us on 2nd down? If those coaches are not held accountable by him, he needs to be held accountable by the management

I think our D is great though. They're on the field too long, and expected to do too much right now. If our O played like it did in the first few games and controlled the clock, could score on long drives, the D would look as good as they really are

The game was like this
1-10
2-9
3-8
miracle or 3-out punt

who's the idiot who put LSH on 1st play in OT with his 1 yard avg

LSH isn't our running back and he will never be. We already knew that.

Powell average 5.5 yards, he got couple of 1st down with 10+ yards run

so who do u put the ball in his hand in critical down in OT?

What has he ever done in the NFL?

1)Niners led the league in pts & passing yds
2)Helped led Plummer & Cards offense to first playoff win in 40 years
3)Raiders led NFL in offense & Gannon was MVP & Raiders went to SB

Not bad for a spare ;)
