understood. but from the first play the game plan early was to throw the ball.

All this shows is that the problems the team need to rectify really aren't centered around qb or kicking, but are team wide.

The easy target is our lack of offensive diversity. Whether the conservative play calling is coming from Harbaugh or it's Roman's shortcomings or both is difficult to measure. Fact of the matter is that our simplistic offense is not difficult for opponents to scheme. What happens as a result? We put way too much pressure on our defense and they get worn out by the end of the year. When watching last weeks game against the Hawks, not sure if I was watching the Niners or the latest episode of Walking Dead.

Sure we've had a few games where we've broken out of the chains and put up big offensive numbers but I don't think this is bread and butter Harbaugh/Roman offensive football and it's certainly playing above their comfort level. But guess what? There are times when we need to put up points. There are times we need to play catch up football. This means that we have to RELY on the offense and rely on complex passing plays.

Until our offensive line can learn to pass block as a unit, until our offense can learn to produce in the redzone, until our offensive coordinators can consistantly draw up plays over 15 yards that stand a chance of working the offense impodes and we go back to the same philosopy ie winning games with our defense and our field goal kicker.

Am I the only one who thinks this is frustrating? Bill Walsh is probably spinning in his graves watching Niner games in heaven.
