I think the play-calling cost us the game. Sure, the tackles needed protection, but then there is no excuse for the predictable play calls. The second half drove me nuts.
The O-Line can't run block. That's evident to everyone. So, please anyone, why do we call two run plays and then face 3rd and 7 or 8? And expect the QB to bail us out? That's retarded! QBs need to throw to get into rhythm. It does not take a rocket scientist to explain why the 9ers have the most 3 and outs in NFL.
Passing only when behind is driving me insane. It's almost like we're apologetic for taking the lead. And we keep running till the 3 and outs allow the opposition offense to get into rhythm and score some points! Or even in the worst case, get better field position. WTF!! And then we try to play catchup. This is as much of a joke a Nolan's on-side kicks to show aggressiveness.
If we had opened up the O and, shudder, scored another TD, then maybe Peyton would have gotten more desperate and thrown some picks. Add to that the whole punt return drama. Why the f*** would you risk injuring your top CB? Sure, hind-sight is 20-20, but another truly wtf decision. This stone age coaching staff will be the reason my TV gets viciously attacked one of these days.

I shake my head as I read my post from 2 years back. Just night and day. Hats off to all my fellow die hard fans for enduring the years after Mooch!
Still early, but thank you coach Harbaugh for bringing the 9ers back to a place where we start critiquing wins. Thank you for bringing creativity and innovation back to the team. Most of all thank you for bringing fun back into 9ers football.
