It’s hard not to think of this as a must win game considering the SF injuries. It’s certainly reasonable to assume if you can’t beat this version of the Niners, can you beat them even at home. Statically a loss doesn’t take the Cards out of the playoff chase, but it would be a tougher road. It somehow always comes down to McCaffrey and whether the Cards can find an answer. I still like assigning a player to key on him (radical), but at least they need to stop him from big plays. I figure the Niners will go for one early as a confidence builder. I’d rather stop his receiving as injury risk goes up and he’ll tire more if he carries the ball. Jones is competent on short passes and the Cards must attack quickly. Jones is not mobile so they should really hit the A gap. If they can collapse the pocket, they destroy this offense. On offense it’s simple, no turnovers.

One thing that would dramatically help the run game is if they could pull a linemen and run an option to the edge. They are not really using Benson’s speed. Of course Murray would have to identify which defender to key on so he would know when to pull the ball and when to leave it with Benson.

I thought we were seeing less of pulling lineman. Get back to that. Maybe they’re saving it for today….

Disappointment and heartbreak what else is there?
Besides that.

But I’m already a little angry. I was supposed to get 200 bucks in bonus bets after a bet yesterday and was going to use some of those to hedge today’s game and short the Cards so if we lost at least I come away with something for the likely three hours of stupidity I will have wasted. But Bet365 is having “tech issues” and won’t be able to update until tomorrow at the earliest.

Horse manure!
