But did our coaches put them in the best situation to succeed,playing to the players STRENGTHS. NO, Singletary/Raye put them a situation to have momentum swing while playing on the ROAD.I understand in taking a gamble, but this isn't poker where you can bluff As a head coach its Singletary's responsibility to know his team and what it can and cannot do. He has tried over and over again in his stubborn pride to make this team a physical run and run it again team.But he doesn't have all the types of players needed for that philosophy. He does have the talent to create mis-matches, mis -directions confuse a defense by shifting the line, putting players in motion. Spread the defense by using more then 2 wide receiver sets. But that would take imagination.....To me, the Coaching was as bad as I thought in Seattle!
That being said I'm still pulling for Singletary,(definitely think RAYE should go!!) Since mooch He's the best coach we had. I'll continue to to hope the best for Singletary.. But as it was said in another thread...its time for results....

Defense dominating
SEA first 3 possessions was 9 plays total. INT and 11 yards total

Offense mostly dominating
We were dominating whenever OC Raye was not required to make a gameday decision. Our script ended around the 2 min warning in the 2nd QTR. 3 plays after we went off script Smith threw his INT that bounced off Crabtree.

I posted this in the Raye/Memory thread but it is shocking when you look at it.

The 49ers run 15 scripted plays and go off script for 3rd downs and red zone plays.

Giving a scrub like Norris the ball on 2 crucial redzone plays is on the coaching staff. He sucks and shouldn't be expected to score TD's. Leave that to skilled player like Gore and Vernon.

All I have to say is this....

We go for on 4th down 3 times with a 3 point lead. Would've gone a 4th time had it not been for a false start. Yet We punt the ball on 4th & 5 from their 40 down 28-6. and on 4th & 9 from their 43.

Now those clearly aren't the reasons we lost but couple that with all the late play calls. You can clearly see that our coaching was bad!

OP was right. It wasn't nearly as bad as you think. IT WAS WORSE.

If you read the OP the title of this thread is misleading. I stated at the begining that the coaching wasn't good, but that ultimately the Players lost this game. We left 21 points on the board as well as played undiciplined on defense.

But tell me if you agree with this....

Whatever was working we strayed away from in the first half, i.e. used D. Walker in most of the first half. then never in the second. That was the coaches

And above all, just curious, do you agree or not, that if your put in the correct position for success, and then u fail, is one thing. But if your not even put in the right position, and say make best with whatever we can do, is that the players fault?

We were down 2 scores with an entire half to play yet Raye called plays as if there was only 7 minutes left in the game. All we needed to do was stick to the original game plan, score in the 3rd and put the pressure back on Seattle.

What do you guys think is more important:

Pre-Game Plan ala Raye

or

In-Game Adjustments ala Seattle's OC?
