When they lose because they can't keep Brock up right then we can re visit.
If they win it all, I'll come back and say I was wrong and I suck, until then I'll drop this topic.
I know you won't come back because you'll have some other excuse. Right now NC is right and you guys just sit around and bash people with a different take.
Yac has showed the numbers. Just not true.
Watch the game...He was harrassed when it matters
He was getting banged on the arm early, hit, rushed, hurried all game. Not everything is a sack or a knockdown. You can be disruptive as hell without those. The Ravens defense was hugely problematic to our passing game.

I just think the Ravens are a bad matchup for us. To handle our offense you need to have elite players at all 4 stages of your defense. Dline, Linebackers, Corners, and safeties. The Ravens have that. Also the Browns. And go figure they are really the only two defenses that gave our offense problems. Yes I know some will say we struggled vs the Vikings but I think that had more to do with our injuries. With the Bengals our offense moved the ball but it didn't get many opportunities because our defense couldn't get off the field.

Just not true. The first pick there is no one near him.

Moved the ball against Vikings too. Turnovers were the killer. Been the constant in all the losses.

Got to hope we don't face the AFC North in the Superbowl. They are our kryptonite.
f**k it, it is what it is. Best thing you can do is study how the hell teams beat the Ravens and Browns, and then clean up what you did on Christmas which was s**t the bed.
Kyle just got lost in his trust with Brock as his QB. Understandably so given how great Brock has been throwing the ball. But against these top notch secondaries, Kyle just needs to harness that Jimmy G game plan energy and run the ball 30+ times.

It's no big secret lack of execution was the main culprit in both games with some really unlucky bounces thrown in for good measure in the Ravens game.

I just heard Cosell talking about the game. He pointed out that the Niners actually moved the ball very well in the first half. They were on pace to gain 500 yards against the best D in the league even with the turnovers. He also pointed out that Purdy still made some good throws and played well other than the turnovers. If those 2 tipped passes go incomplete instead of getting plucked out of the air the game could have been much closer. You can't take those INTs away but it's not like Brock was throwing bad passes all day. Even the first one was right on target. Hamilton just made a good play.
Bottom line is Kyle's game plan was fine. It was a couple of bad bounces (or good plays by the Ravens) that turned the game around at the start of the 3rd quarter. Once that happened the Niners were in a deep hole and couldn't run as much. That put Brock in a difficult position against the leagues best pass rush.
