Holy hell. Well, we found a new and interesting way to make our playmakers on offense ineffective, yet again. What was Green thinking in the 2nd half?! Leinart & Boldin were simply on FIRE in the first half, and then in the 3rd quarter & 4th quarter every time we got a first down, it was Edge over right guard. Edge over right guard....Edge over right guard.

Unreal! We ran right into the bears strength & our own weakness. I understand controlling the clock, but 3-and-outs don't control a god damned thing. That drive we had to open the third quarter was excellent & drug 6 minutes off the clock. 1 or 2 more drives like that, utilizing the short & intermediate passing game would've been excellent.
As for James, I've been a big defender of his recently. I seriously think he isn't a good back now. He had holes tonight. They were small, and they weren't on every play, but he has a knack for 1) not hitting the hole hard, and 2) not persuing the right hole. He has no vision, and no cutback ability. He's a Michael Pittman clone, running straight up into the back of a lineman.
Punting 6 times a game is rediculous. It's rediculous because chances are you're not varying your lanes at all, and you let an opposing coordinator see your cover strategy 5 times, they're going to eat you alive on the next try.
And what happened?
Unreal.
I've been a supporter of Dennis Green. I thought he was a good coach. I looked past the flaws in clock management, looked past the idiotic building of the team from the outside in (WRs & RBs first, OL 2nd), and even looked past the brutal personnel moves like cutting solid O-linemen.
I can't look past this. His conservative game plan cost us this game 100 times more than Neil Racker's missed attempt. I don't care about running the ball to run down the clock with a lead. GET FIRST DOWNS ANY WAY YOU CAN. That's the bottom line. You sustain a drive any way you can, and you put the Bears away tonight.
I'm absolutely sick for our defensive players, who all played like pro-bowlers tonight. 6 turnovers, no TDs, 3 pts scored against, and less than 40 yards rushing against, and we still lost?
It's a crazy world today. And I'm hoping today is the first day of interim head coach Clancy Pendergast's regime. I'm emotionally checking out on the Dennis Green era. He's a terrible coach.
