It wasn't aesthetically pleasing, but Harbaugh probably played this game correctly on the offensive end, IMO.

I think Harbaugh's keeping it conservative because the players just don't know the offense very well, which is pretty understandable. I think it becomes less and less conservative as the season goes on and they get more familiarity with the offense.

Agree
Originally posted by kray28:Just keep in mind that this formula will not win games against any decent team in this league. Basically Ginn's two returns were jackpot strikes. Prior to that, the offense was facing the prospect of at least holding onto the ball with over 4:00 on the clock in a 2 pt game.
How much faith do you have that they could have done that?
Originally posted by mella31:Seattle is one of the weakest teams in the league, and we struggled against them. Yes, there is a learning curve with this new offense, but Harbaugh might as well "test" this playbook now against teams like Seattle, rather than wait until Dallas comes along as gives us a real whooping.
Of course, this game has shown, yet again, how limited Alex Smith is. He just cannot play outside the box, and he barely takes advantage of opportunities given to him. Some might cite that 20 pass plays might is not the ideal sample size to judge Alex on; hell, Im sure some his fans will even point out the 75% completion percentage and think he had a monster game, but comeon......the guy checks down even when he has time, and you can see the toll it took on his offensive players.
We eek out a win against Seattle..........next week might be a disaster.
