Torrey- remains to be seen but he has never seemed like a good fit to this offense for me that values quickness in short spaces over long straight line speed....this game furthered my concerns.

Wouldn't say we're "legit" but we have a lot of young hungry talent. Offensive line is dramatically better from when Jordan & Pears were starting, and Chip Kelly runs circles around that sweaty swine Tomsula . However the terrible depth at WR & QB is what will keep this team down. If we could fill those holes we would be back in championship contending form

It was so weird, they had so much time when they broke to the line in the 4th Q, they would stop and all the niners would then stand up and look to the right like what do call those animals in the wild that look like ferrets (?) when think there might be danger. Then you see the rams stopping look over also and thinking, wtf?

Originally posted by PhillyNiner:I had a post get eaten earlier where I basically said I voted yes in that we are better than anyone gave us credit for, but we are not legit in that I see us as a playoff contender. Last night we went from looking like a bottom feeder according to many to looking like a possible .500 team. That is good progress....

Bill bellichek rarely makes comments in press confeences, however when Chip Kelly was fired by the Eagles he publicy stated it was short sighted by the team owners and that Kelly has a great offensive mind and prepares his team well.
First penalty came in the 4th quarter of MNF, WOW that is good coaching!!!
I also like that they admit the WR core sucked and traded for Kerley and Streater. My prediction is Patton will be shown the bench soon in favor of Streater

They need to start throwing it up to him ala Desean Jackson in 2013. Foles was throwing it deep a lot. I dont think they have a Torrey Smith problem as much as they have a Blaine Gabbert being unwilling to attack downfield problem.

let's see how this team fairs after the road trip. We're not this good and LA is not that bad. This to me is Deja Vu and the win was a fluke in the sense of how we won the game.
We go into Carolina and get a blow out like we did in Pitt last year this victory will mean very little. then you go into sea who CAN do the same. Lets see how this offense does on the road and against legit SB contenders.

My response probably belongs in the Baalke thread, but here goes anyway.
Baalke needs to accept the fact that he has a blind spot in his analysis of College Football receivers. He should absolutely abdicate any selection he is in favor of at the receiver position and let the guy who empties the garbage cans in the War Room on Draft Day make the choice instead. Better chance of producing a good receiver.
You know what leads to a better chance of finding a good receiver? Having consistent, quality quarterback play.
The teams that can "pick" wide receivers coincidentally also have top QBs, a consistent offensive philosophy and coaching stability but I am sure that has nothing to do with it.
Meanwhile Bil Belichick can't draft a WR to save his life and has largely given up on it but the Patriots have still been able to work around it.
