- We probably could have won that game 35 - 21 easily with all of those trips to the red zone. But alas, we didnt. Theres really no excuse for that other than the simple fact that we stink in the redzone. However, I personally dont think were gonna stink in the red zone forever, especially with the extra day of practice this week. - Frank Gore simply didnt get enough touches. Harbaugh knows that and Im sure hes gonna gameplan to make our offense more balanced again like its been all year. - Braylon Edwards, whatchu know bout getting benched? Dude, hasnt been the same since the injury. - The O-line struggles with the all out bull rush blitz which you know damn well the Steelers are preparing to bring the house like the other teams that have beaten us this year. Harbaugh knows this too, I think we might see a lot more roll out plays and screens to nullify this. Maybe something he'll think of something completely different as well because Im not the coach and I'm 100% sure and faithful that he really knows how to defeat this blitzing. - Hey secondary, lets practice the wrap up tackling drill! - Regarding the redzone again, Im thinking were probably going to see VD become more targeted when were in striking distance. He's been money for Alex in the redzone during their careers, I dont see why we wouldnt use him more down there. Anyways, Im personally not worried. Im still a little upset that we lost yesterday, but remember this is the teams first year with harbaugh so its not crazy f'in mindblowing that we had a little hiccup on sunday. We were bound to have a bad game or two along the way, with time comes experience and we're going to do a much better job in the future not letting games like these get away from us. What do the critics and the Cardinals (and their fans have in common?) They will be watching us play in the playoffs from their couches. So screw em'. Were 10-3 for a reason, lets get that 2 seed.

our redzone offense is horrendous. We are not fine. 1 and done in the playoffs if that doesn't change immediately.

I know its horrendous, and it clearly showed in sundays game which is why I think Harbaugh is going to address it during this week of practice.

yea. I heard something like 17 of our last 19 redzone trips have ended in FG's. One TD and an INT.

I don't want to be one of the better. I want to be THE best. And we start that out by being able to score inside the redzone.

Yes I agree we will be fine. The poblem we have is our redzone offense which can easily be fixed.

Our offense is not very good right now, and our red zone offense is the worst.

so...how are we fine?

The 49ers have the worst red zone offense in football

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 12, 2011, 10:24 AM EST. AP

The 49ers have won 10 games this year despite a glaring problem that Jim Harbaugh hasn't been able to solve. They are a miserable red zone offense.

After Sunday's loss in Arizona, the 49ers officially have the worst red zone offense in the league. No team has scored touchdowns a lower percentage of times inside the 20-yard line.
