Originally posted by S41MAN:Yep, Shanny clearly built an amazing horizontal attack around Jimmy but it requires consistent execution long drives.I feel like we will be moving the ball well and then BAM a stupid penalty or drop. And then drive is suddenly over because we aren't built to throw downfield or pass from traditional sets. The second half to the Rams game is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.Originally posted by Heroism:This is the game that officially sold me on Shanny in 2016. I couldn't get over how aggressive he was with pushing the ball downfield.Then we can this rinky, dink offense here in SF.

That Falcons offense was the whole package.
I get that same feeling. Whenever the run game struggles I feel uneasy because our passing game relies so much on YAC.
Hate 3rd downs with 7+ yards knowing it's likely to be a throw to Kittle/Deebo/Juice who have to fight for the extra couple yards.
It's asking a lot of any QB to consistently keep drives alive on 3rd downs when you're not picking up chunk plays.
