Did Seattle create the best blueprint to beat us?

Seattle took away Frank Gore.
They took away the bread and butter V. Davis down the middle seam pass.
They forced Alex to throw out routes and to new receivers.
They made our weak secondary look horrible with double moves.


This is a copy cat league. Are all teams going to try to copy what they did. Or does the NFL know that they have to do this no matter what?

nah.....we created our own blueprint

Don't forget about their 12th man. I learned a lot from reading Sydney Mayhew's articles.

No, we're just that bad (at this point).

- 98

Yeah, they did. It's called score more points than us.

The blueprint to beat us isn't rocket science


Stop Frank Gore

Let Alex Smith and Jimmy Raye lose the football game for the Niners.


End of Game Plan.

That's always been the gameplan to beat us if people have been paying attention.

We need a legit Qb and #1 WR, then we'll be tough to game plan against. Until then, we're stuck with Alex and Morgan. I consider Crabtree a positon reciever,a #2. I mean a burner with size (Andre Johnson) to stretch the field.

Where have you been? This "blueprint" has been around for the entire Smith era. The double move thing has not been a chronic problem, although our corners have not been very good for years.

Not at all. This was the same exact blue print all teams smoked us with last year. Stack 8-9 players inside the DE's and run blitz en route to stopping Gore or sacking Alex. This resulted in constant 3rd and longs and allowed the rest of the defense to rush the passer and play very aggressive in the secondary.

On offense, teams would exploit the passing game (making our run defense numbers look good), double down on Smith and never worry about Lawson/Haralson. Key in on Clements and Lewis in particular and spread out the defense and exploit the lack of speed. The sacks numbers will be collective but very few will make a difference in a game (pre-A. Brooks). Manusky runs a very vanilla 3-4.

It took teams 2 or 3 games last year to create this easy game plan and every team used it last season. Everyone knows how stubborn Singletary is when it comes to his philosophy on offense...hell, he telegrapged it in the media and backed it up with Raye and with his personnel packages.

This is a VERY easy team to game plan for. Can you imagine how hard it would be for a real coaching staff to game plan for New Orleans? Now, picture game planning for us. Night and day. The bigger issue is that WE DON'T GAME PLAN. We just play our game. Period.

We beat ourselves smart one. We could have easily blown them out the way things were going early on. If Morgan had come down in bounds for the TD there ain't no way the seabirds were gonna even scratch at us. But being the

Fans really aren't bringing this up. One of our smartest offensive players gets picked up by them, along with a 10-year Line backer, who knows our weaknesses ad personnel, along with Scotty, yes this helped them in every way. You better believe MROB has a grudge against us, wouldn't you?

That scheduled game was placed bad for us, following a home opener MNF vs last year's champs. Do you really think, we were going to come out firing on all cylinders to give NOLA successful tape to watch?

Come on fans, WAKE THE F**K UP !!!!! Judge us after the first 4 games, while 3 is on the road.
