That's one of our coaching staff's biggest problems, they stick to a system that's not working until it causes too much damage.

There is time for him to fix things and make adjustments...
I'm not sure it's stupid, it's a sign of frustration with clearly clearly seeing what our coaching staff appears to not see. We can get into the whole "we don't have the personnel to change, or at least not change on the fly" debate, but this team's answer to every terrible performance is, "we'll learn from this." Then they don't seem to. It might be simpler to say, "I'm not going to take that question."

I'm thinking we'd like some balance. Alex is going to suffer criticism because we suffered 4 years of inaccuracy, turtling, and checking down. He's seeming showing us a different Alex now that they drafted a QB. Well he did for five games. Few think it's a coincadink. But the true balance would be having a D-line that could get pressure, while having an O-line that's can block, and BDs that aren't almost guaranteed to give up 10-15 yards in 4 downs. All in the same year.
Its a combination of breakdowns in fundamentals, and untimely bs penalty calls. Despite the bad calls, KC had mutiple chances to force a punt, and even end the game, if a solid tackle was made. A basic fucking fundamental. DB’s trying to tackle high and getting driven back 5 yards, linebackers arm tackling or completely whiffing below the knee. Defensive lineman not getting off blocks. Its not a scheme issue, its a do your job issue. [Reply]

Alex should have had another TD to put the game away as his "should have been" interception doesn't count except on paper.
Offense scored 30 points noob. They did their job [Reply]
I don't get it. This defense has been borderline elite under Sutton. We've lost multiple key players and continued to be dominant. Now, all of the sudden he's forgotten how to run a defense? Something just doesn't add up. [Reply]

Evidently our next man up isn't working very well. And some of our first men up aren't very great either. [Reply]

With our center and guard injured the OL are doing a decent job. 2 of them aren't starters for us!!!!!! When there are weak players on the OL the whole line suffers. They are doing a good job for what they are. I don't see Alex11 leaving on a cart, do you? Strong, NO, weak, NO
I cannot understand why Fisher has hot and cold moments but overall he earns his participation award.
C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS QBR RTG
Alex Smith 25/36 342 9.5 3 0 1-11 84.9 127.3
36 passes and 1 sack Hmmm yeah they suck big time...NOT
FYI these Stats are misleading, they should have a TD removed and an INT added.
What did suck was the Defense and it's performance against the pass. They did contain the run as noted above but
29/52 417 8.0 3 0 0-0 84.6 101.2
Oakland ran 73 plays vs our 59.and neither team broke 100 yards rushing. [Reply]
