No pass protection
No push or open holes for Frank to run thru - hes not going to make the whole season at this pace.
Smith has to clean up the tipped balls - ints.
Better seperation for our WR's
Offense game plan was better today but must go down the field more often.
How about planned roll outs with a flooded zone for once that way the defenders must hang back to cover and then if nobody gets open Smith can run.
On defense, we play well but in tight spots we always fold!
I blame alot of that on the DC for playing a form of prevent. Lets go all out and force the issue and if we get beat, fine but make something happen and not just play not to lose.
Sorry my friend, but these are BIG problems. A QB with no touch or accuracy, a running back with no holes?? Offensive game plan better? We didn't score a single point on offense since the opening drive. The D is what kept us in the game. Holding an explosive offense to 16 points is good. Especially when two field goals were off Alex Smith INT's
Granted the offense and Alex did a bad job today but we did have a lead with 3 minutes to go didn't we.
We their offense on a 3rd and 15 on their own 10 yard line with 3 minutes to go. Now you tell me if a good team/defense like the Steelers, Jets, Ravens, etc. doesn't stop the other team right then and there and win that game. Instead, we let them drive right down the field just like in the Saints game but in this case someone makes a play. Then that someone doesn't do the smart thing and hold onto the ball. Wait theres more, we let them drive down the field once again and kick the game winner.
So lets get this straight the D played better than the O today but they played just a big a part in this loss, period.
