The 49ers are surrounded by adversity and they're without their field commander. Also missing is the best player on the team, Nick Bosa. If they lose this game it's hard to see a path forward to the playoffs with a tough road game in Buffalo next week. It's a must win game with one hand tied behind their backs. No one to blame but themselves. Dick Charmin said it best: “You’ve gotta play like the rents due..And if you’re not playing like the rents due, you’re getting evicted and we’re going home.” One silver lining is Jordan Love's INT's (11-Ties last year in half the games) with a rate of 4.3%. Only 2 QBs have been worse: Will Levis and Anthony Richardson. The catch? The Niners will need to capitalize on any and all turnovers because the defense cannot be counted on to hold up for 4 quarters. George Kittle will be the key that unlocks this victory, 24-21. Go Niners!
Brian Baldinger on Nick Sorensen:
ReplyDelete"Opposed to Steve Spagnuolo and some of these other teams in this league that are good blitzing teams, they just don't know how to get a free hit to the quarterback. They just don't dial it up. They don't overload, they don't disguise. So they're pretty bland in what they do."
Simple game plan. Attack on defense. Attack in the running game. Take no prisoners mentally.
We attack every play with 4 DL and that's one of the reasons they're gassed by the 4th qtr.
ReplyDeleteThey may not have any other option today. It's a must win
Deletescenario, pull out all the stops. The D could rest tomorrow.
To win this game the Niners need to stop making drive altering penalties in all three phases of the game and on each side of the ball. Secondly the Niners need to run the ball with wreck less abandum. Thirdly Brandon Allan needs to play errorless ball. Need a 28 point lead going into the fourth quarter.
ReplyDeleteAllen has the strongest arm of the 3. Maybe we throw it downfield early and often?
