in my experience, hard problems are typically caused by multiple things rather than just one

so I think the following are all contributing to the offensive issues (no particular order):

Taking "care of the football" risk aversion from Gannon to Petzing to Kyler.

Petzing has few answers for two high safety looks.

They cant run the football consistently.


Kyler is a 2nd tier QB

Very conservative outlook generally when tied or up.
This issue is combined because if you can't run the ball vs two-high, you have a lot of problems.

Felt like the playbook got opened up literally right after JC’s injury.
and despite everyone talking about the drops (rightfully so) the offense was still more productive. The more and more I look at this game, it really blows my mind how weird some things were.

Like possessing the ball for 22 of the 30 first half minutes and trailing 6-3.

Brit will never admit it because he’s too far down in the hole, but I know it had to make him sad when he seen Ricky Pearsall make contested catches while Marvin drops the easiest TD catches ever. Don’t worry, it made all of us sad as well.

Said it earlier in the week Pearsall is legit good. He is tough and he's fast, if they ever get him, Jennings and Aiyuk on the field healthy together that's a scary Wr room

That's the most alarming part about all of this...we're relatively healthy, and we BARELY beat two of the worst teams in the NFL, and just lost to a Niners team with half their squad.

Things better change quickly, or we're looking at another top 10 pick....wheeeeee!

The craziest thing about Sunday is that the offense and Kyler were MORE productive in the second half which had all of the drops (i think).

My theory on that is they seemed to realize finally Bosa wasn't in the game. I was literally yelling at the tv he's not in there you don't have to chip the edge every play with the TE or RB now.

I think that after we lost Conner they did some eye opening and said Bosa's not in, let's do some deeper drops, 3 WR in and try and push the ball downfield a bit.

We have the most injuries in the league my guy.

We still should have won.

That's good news if he wasn't upset after dropping TWO TD passes I would be wondering if he'll ever make it
Its possible MHJ needed a Julio situation.

People knocked him for his drops early in his career. However, he was also allowed to not be the main focus of the offense while still on a team willing to throw.

Julio is obviously more explosive than MHJ. However, I think this scheme would have us very frustrated with a year 1/year 2 Julio.

We got outdueled by a one legged Mac-Attack and Bosa being out for how long? 9ers had plenty of other injuries too.
they were down their starting QB, TE, WR1/WR2, All-Pro DE... and we couldn't beat them.

Julio Jones had 2000 yards and 20 TDs across his first two seasons. He had 959 yards in 13 games his rookie year.

What are you even talking about?

Its easy to understand the possesion time when you see what the offense is trying to do. Burn clock and play for field goals.

Had to throw more. Most running plays were designed for a Connor-type back. Useless at that point.

It's not the play calls. It's 100% Kyler's mentality. The plays are the same, it's just that Kyler only opens up when were either up comfortably or down and needing a score.

I'll put some videos in the Kyler thread later.
