Do we go back to smash -mouth

I just want the coaching staff to game plan better. If the opponent sucks at stopping the run then we go smash mouth. If the opponenet sucks at pass defense then we pass more. Its been so obvious this year that the coaching staff doesn't do this.

alex smith is playing way better... i must say he's starting to impress me alot and i know we aren't gonna make the playoffs again but maybe just maybe next season we can get ten or eleven wins

No because Gore isn't the same player he used to be, you can't make your offense all about him anymore. He's not very dynamic anymore. If he would have fumbled that ball we would've atleast kicked a FG and he probably would've had his 20 carries. But he fumbled it and then we're trying to go 80-90 yards for the score each time, and you can't run the ball real well if you're trying to go that far in the fourth quarter. If he didn't fumble we'd get the points, control the game, atleast kick a FG, we'd be in control of the game, and he'd get his carries to run some clock. But he fumbled and it changes your whole 4th quarter game plan.

so gore can get stopped for 2 yards or less?

I hope not, its extremely boring to watch that style of play. This is San Francisco people like watching a good passing game. That smash mouth style of play will not cut it here.

However I do think we need to become a little more balanced. We desperately need two new guards and a right tackle if we want to run successfully.

what about the first three quarters, you must be completely ignorant to say gore can't still rush with the top backs in this league.

one fumble lost this whole season. why not for the first three quarters mix up the pass and the run and get gore goin all while the defense is trying to stop gore seeing as he torches them EVERY time he plays them.

No our coaches like going 1-14 on third downs without our BEST PLAYER ON OFFENSE touching the f**ken ball.

Hell no we don't go back to smash mouth! We have something starting here & we need to build on it. We have to build our o-line to get a yard or two when we need it to keep a drive going.

the offense worked, but dumb mistakes killed us. we don't have a smash mouth offense, we never did. we don't run because we can't. have you been watching this team all year? they cannot run, so f it. i'm glad they stopped running. we left so many points on the field. delanie's td, vd's td, crabs td, gore fumbling inside the redzone. our offense is finally productive. we just have to pray that one day all of these dumb, painful mistakes will go away. next year hopefully.

In the first half of the GB game they tried it and it didn't work, They need both the pass and run but it doesn't seam like they can come up with that it's all run or now all pass. Alex Smith is playing good for once and Gore can still run the ball. If they ever figure out how to do both in the same game them they could be really good.

Umm there have been games this year where he's gotten the ball more times and he didn't get any yards. The AZ game he had 20 some odd carries for 30 yards. The jacksonville game he got 16(which isn't a ton) and only got 33 yards. In Houston he only averaged about 2 yards per carry. He's got to get some yards when he runs to get carries later in the game. How can you keep handing it to a back who keeps running right up the back of his OLine the entire game?

No.

1) Our O-line is struggling bad so it would be suicide to do so and,

2) If you look at some of the top teams in the league right now, the top teams are good passing teams but aren't good running teams.

ok, i was being sarcastic. i realize that when we force the run 25-30 times a game we cant yards. i am saying our coaches dont know how to mix it up. one game it is run run run then pass pass pass and we lose both games. just cause it worked great against the jags doesnt mean you go to the extreme the next game and totally ignore your best player

No . . . our best personnel package is the 12 group with Gore, Davis, Walker, Crabtree & Morgan. Anytime Norris is on the field we're the worse for it. We need to be able to run the ball consistently with 1 back.

I'd love to see Raye try running inside more using Walker and Davis on wham/inside trap blocks. Joe Gibbs used to eat people up with that s**t.

No, I don't like seeing Gore run into a brick wall on every run attempt.
