Our subpar offensive performances can be singled out by one offensive group. The offensive line has proved that they can not consistantly open holes for frank. Thoughs of you who think frank is done, you're wrong. Where are the holes at? You all need to go back and watch week one and week two. You maybe able to argue that pass protection was good last week. How many times did we throw the ball down field last week? This week we faced a way better front seven and the stats provide the evidence. We have a group of underachievers, who I know have the talent, strength and nastiness to become elite within this league. If you're reading this. GET MAD! GET MEAN! Stop letting everyone push you guys around.

I saw Dixon find a hole on the one play he got the ball.
As I watch through the 1st half, I can not believe that Goodwin is still starting for our team after this week. I don't care if it is Snyder or someone else... Goodwin is truly teh suxxorz... just wow.

(Rachal isn't playing well either, and Staley had some humiliating fail blocks)
Our Oline sucks...what else is there to talk about.

hell...i cant believe joe staley is still starting...he's been getting abused ...terrible. this oline is
Yes, they do! Smith was hit repeatedly by unblocked, or chipped players and still managed to stay healthy and make some very good plays. He was able to find little holes and gain some yards with his feet, but sitting in the pocket was like Dunkirk! Ware untouched? Don't know what to do with a player of Ware's ability but putting Gore on him would have been a good plan. They did try to beef up the blocking and Dallas still came through the line fast.

Here's hoping they will come together in a game or two and start showing something, but when they are beaten one-on-one it isn't jelling, it's just under-par performance.

I'm just saying. I was looking at some of these posts on here and they seem to either blame alex, frank, or play calling. I believe that they are all limited due to the play of our offensive line.

Call it as you see it, and many of us agree. It's difficult to be patient with a young line but that's what the 9ers have...so they should be called on the carpet when they play as poorly as they did Sunday.
I'm beginning to conclude that their suckage may not be about youth or inexperience in gelling. They are just getting beaten 1-in-1 in pass pro, and lack leverage and power to open rush lanes. I think a handful of play-calls didn't help either. Who calls a QB roll-out to Ware's side and leaves him unblocked???

You are correct sir! The OL is just plain horrible.
All of these high draft picks and none of them can pass block... I would cut all of them except Iupati..

Why can't we admit that our OL is getting man handled week after week. They get beat every time they pass protect. Its funny, i don't remember Walsh ever drafting a Ol on the first round. Yet we have all these first and the second rounders that can't play. McCloughan and Baalke are responsible for it.
The whole o line is playing poorly. Iupati looks like he has regressed. He's constantly getting blown up on running plays. Goodwin looks like he should be retired. Staley has always been poor at run blocking, but he can't even pass block. He got paid before he proved anything. Now he's just lazy. Chilo usually a good run blocker got no push. Strangely Davis has been the most consistent, but that isn't saying much at all.

It's hard to call out Solari b/c they sucked before him and are now sucking with him. Didn't they bring in their own guy and kept solari along for continuity?
I'm confused. The beat writers said before the game that the line was improving.
Ok so if our Oline improves in the next couple of weeks we should be in good shape. Imagine us having a 2 score lead going into every half and in the 2nd half we just eat up the clock on long drives! No one will be able to beat us.
