Overrated GM.
So Baalke is overrated because the coaches won't play guys and because the team has sustained an absurd number of injuries.
Tell me, who brought Lynch on board, Stevie Johnson, Carlos Hyde, Marcus Martin(who we'll damn well need), Tramaine Brock, Perrish Cox, Aldon Smith, Bowman.
Get a grip. In the NFL you can't offset the loss of 3 All Pro players to go along with injuries all over the secondary. There's no preparing for that, there's not enough depth in the world to be ready for that. This team has done damn well to get this far but you're not going to beat Manning with 2nd stringers, I don't care which team you are in the NFL or who your GM is.
People suck off Seattle's GM but guess what, the Harvin signing was a bust, Bruce Irvin looks like crap after they spent a 1st round pick on him, he still hasn't progressed beyond a situational pass rusher, Carpenter is a bust for where he was picked.
I can't believe that the 49ers don't have a bunch of All-Pro's sitting around waiting to come and replace guys like Willis and Bowman seamlessly...............
I actually had no issues with the starting players on defense last night. It's basically the same unit that got us 2nd in the NFL up to that point and that was with Brock coming back. But earlier in the week, I read an interview with Fangio and he said something to the fact that he wouldn't match up specific personnel on mismatches (ala he'd keep Ward in the slot even though he'd get abused and was abused for 3 TD's, as an example). Well, last night, the Broncos did their h/w and saw Brock coming in cold off the bench after weeks of being off and continued to scheme their best player on him. Instead of changing personnel or the game plan AFTER seeing him struggle and get abused, we stayed the same. Finally in the second half, he moved Cox back to LCB where he was formally on a roll and doubled with Bethea (not Reid) and even they got abused for an easy TD (Reid is the S with range). Instead of watching the Superbowl and seeing that the Hawks physically jammed and beat the sh!t out of the Broncos WR's at the LOS and threw off the timing of the passes (WCO), we played off and let Manning pick us a part with scheme and experience while targeting our weaknesses on defense and exploiting them over and over and over again. We put Cook in the slot? Take Cully off the field and move Cox to RCB and Brock at LCB? So odd!
Why not keep Cox at LCB where he was rolling, slide him inside to the slot when needed and have Brock and Cully/Cook/Johnson on the outside where they know their roles? And most importantly, use these bigger, physical CB's to beat the crap out of their receivers at the LOS and make them earn every yard? Play single-high S with Reid like Seattle did in the Superbowl?
Situational awareness. What does Manning always do after an INT? Yet, we let a receiver get behind two players AFTER starting out in off coverage? WTF? Fangio's been great up to this point but he sucked ass last night with his stubborn ways IMHO.
