we're one and done in the playoffs if our offense doesn't show up in the first half

Agreed, and our wr's can't even locate the dam ball! (Ginn = Td, Crabs = possible deep sideline ball, Edwards = competion)
Simple things like finding the ball in the air seem to baffle our wr's at times.
And our oline has not improved like some are saying. No holes for Frank and zero pass protection

I'm really hoping that Roman and Harbaugh are trying to fine-tune some things with the offense. To only give Gore and Hunter 18 shared carries is not normal. It bit us on the azz but hopefully come playoff time they give defenses things to think about and not be so predictable with the run.

we do the same plays in the redzone each game and every team has caught on to it time to change it up

At this point, our offense is not playoff ready. Did anyone notice that JH was calling the plays late ing the game? I think JH was not pleased with Greg Roman's playcalling. Also, 10 carries for Frank Gore is not going to get it.

I know. I wonder if something is wrong with Gore that isn't public. But 18 carries between the two is not going to get it.

that because the coaches dont want to put extra pressure on mrs smith.

1) The offense is NOT READY.
2) We need some SERIOUS HELP.

I'm dumbfounded that Roman didn't learn from the Cowboys' mistake last week of only giving DeMarco 12 carries.

For the first time in years we are IN THE PLAY OFFS, I cool with that, as for this offense, yea we got a few holes, RB, and WR mostly.

It is apparent that the Niners are solid in two of the three phases of the game. The offense is well behind the defense and special teams. Did the coaches do the offense any favors by only calling 10 running plays for Gore? Probably not. Gotta wonder what that's about. They have three games to get it straight before the post season starts.

so that touchdown pass to that cowboys tight end WOULD be an ideal play for Vernon. Vernon is good in open space even though he has hands of stone. How come our offense cannot show any ingenuity? I think Harbaugh have to call the plays from here on out.

I'd be interested to find out, but I would also not be surprised if Harbaugh is just limiting him to get him some rest for the playoffs.
I am also curious to see if they are really testing the limits of the pass attack to see what they have going into the playoffs.

I just looked up the stats, and it makes me want to kill Greg Roman:
37 Pass attempts + 5 Sacks = 42 passing plays
21 running plays.
So we went with a 67-33 Pass-Run offense when Gore was averaging 7.2 yds/carry & when we had the lead for the majority of the game. And they don't know why we lost? Sickens me because we should have won that game hands-down.
