I so hate every game its a run play right up the middle!!

I mean it's fine if we're trying to put a game away, running out the clock to seal a win, or just mixing it up... But not when we're down numerous points, or it's a tie game and we're just doing f**king draw plays from the shotgun on 3rd & long. No no no. Give Alex the chance to make plays, and he will. BUT, also give the ball to Gore. None of that 9 carries bs he got in the last game against Seattle.

So what it all boils down to is a good mix of run and pass, and if we run the whole game then we sure as hell better get some play action in there...

Good point,,
We need a mix of plays and add some play action as you say. We just don't need to be so predictable in the play calling. I just think we are force to have Jimmy Raye as an OC to give Alex Smith some stablinest.

Yeah.. I will admit though, some GREAT calls last year were a few one's on 4th and short, or 3rd and inches. Where we'd be in a tight big formation and Alex would play action to gore, and go deep to Vernon. Those were great calls. Believe one of those instances took place in the Jacksonville game.

We need to see more of that. But not just on 4th and inches, or 3rd and short, but on every down!!

I agree with that as well... Its a TE and RB friendly system and we are strong at both positions.

I want Jimmy Raye to hurry up and retire so Mike Johnson can take over

IF this happens, which i dont think it will, we will see whos fault it was, then make decisions.

Jimmy Raye and his ability to come up with ludicrous play calls that's what.

you guys keep forgetting that this is Singletary's team...you guys saw last year what happened when we opened up the offense for Shaun or Alex.

don't get me wrong the first person I blame is Raye when I see us play conservative, but then I remember it is Sing that controls him...

for now I just put "depart with Alex" only because I think that Raye & Sing don't trust him all the way...or at least it felt like that last year....so I wonder how this offense would be with a QB that can pass consistently and has the coaches trusts.

As much as I call Sing a hypocrite, I still like how the rest of the players play of him and play disciplined........as far as Raye, as much as I want us to go back to the WCO and I think we have the PERFECT players on offense for it.....I just don't want to have different offensive playbook again, especially if they give Nate a chance....but if we do bring in someone else, a proven Vet QB then I don't care if we get rid of Raye...

so for now, if it is obvious we don't make the playoffs because of Alex...then yet depart with him first......but if he plays well and it is our defense that just collapses for some reason, then yeah keep him around.

lol if we dont make the playoffs this year it wont be Alex Smith's fault.

funny how everyone says he sucks, but in turn is putting the entire success of our season on his shoulders. Alex Smith just needs to manage the position and NOT be a liability in order for us to win the division.

if we dont take this division, we have alot bigger problems than who our QB is. we have a cupcake schedule opponent wise, a top flight D, 3 elite talents at offensive skill positions, etc. the D will be the bigger goat this year if we dont take the weak NFC West.

look at the competition...Cards cut their projected starter for Derek Anderson, and the coach said "our 3rd stringer in camp looks like our best QB". the Seahawks have almost NO blue chip players, just cut their best WR, and their OL coach said "peace out!" right before the season started.

the way its looking right now, the NFC West will be a 3 team race....for LAST PLACE. if we dont run away and hide with this division more guys than just Alex Smith will have some explaining to do.

Never diss another team...Nobody expected Warner to turn into a somebody. The seachickens beat us once last year. I just hope their aqquisition of former niner players weighs them down. If the lambs bite us in the ass it won't be funny.

If niners D can keep opposition to 10 or 14 points and we still lose the game...it can indeed be Alex and Rayes fault. No more excuses. All the commentators agree the pieces are in place for the niners and it rests with Smith. Not to do it all, but pull his fair weight. Like I said, if he can get 28/10 TD/Int ratio then all will be well. Maybe even as high as 14 int is passable.

Wow thats almost some P. Manning numbers for Alex Smith.
Manning 33 tds 16 ints 4500 yards rating 99.9

If they miss the playoff they need to Draft A QB and get a new OC, or maybe a HC that is the OC. a HC that runs his offense so if the OC leave for a head couching job the teams offense stays the same. I think they will make the playoffs

Dam I guess we are guarantee a playoff spot without doubt because these 7 guys think we should win a playoff spot!!!!

oh dam these 7 guy think we will loose the first game in the playoffs too do you agree with that too????

It doesnt say that we will lose the first game in the playoffs, it says we wont make the NFC championship game. Of course these guys can be wrong, by why guess the problem now, if the season it self will be the only true factor of what needs to be changed.

How's the weather up there on your high horse?

If we don't make the play-offs I will be in shock and go into a depression and not be able to function for months.

Think TO put some curse on us. I read something that he said if he goes back to the 49ers it will break the curse.

Quite the ridiculous poll since it's impossible to say what went wrong this season when we haven't played it yet.



Speculation. It's a helluva drug.
