    Week 13: Bills at 49ers on MNF (in Arizona)

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    As long as this game remains close, the 9ers will ground and pound the ball.  I think our offense needs to score and not look back.  Get a couple of scores up and make Mullens throw the ball.  I've got Mostert on my fantasy team and I hate to admit this...I'm playing him.  He can have a big game, especially if they're still handing it off to him come the 4th quarter.

    So is "we", the fans?  Or the team?  If it's the team, you kind of contradicted yourself.

    Yes.  I meant all of us.  To some degree, I do think players can not bring the intensity and mentality into a contest.  But to a greater extent, I think some fans get there more often.

    I definitely see where you’re going with us.

     

    That said, they moved the ball very well against the Jets, they just couldn’t punch it in. I wouldn’t say that they overlooked them though.
     

    Also, with the Titans I don’t think they overlooked them, I just think some bad things happened and then they couldn’t recover. If my memory serves me correctly, they were only down by about a score in the third quarter.

     

    I think some fans, including myself, overlooked the titans. I expected them to go in there and take care of business.

    Fair.  We all have our own opinions.

    Has there been one game where this team has come out and looked like they’ve taken a team for granted? Seriously, someone says this before every game and I’m trying to think of one time where I thought they overlooked someone. I can’t. Sure they’ve come out flat at times, every team does at one time or another, but I think McD has done a tremendous job at getting our team to take every opponent seriously no matter what their record.

    Titans and Jets.

    The 49ers running game is actually the weakest point on their team this year.  They are averaging 4.1 yards per rush, which is tied with us for 20th in the NFL (and we all know the Bills are struggling to run the ball).  It's a half-yard less than the Niners averaged last season, when they were Top 10 in rushing.  And even with with Raheem Mostert back against the Rams last week, they only averaged 3.4 yards per rush.

     

    Bottom line, the Bills are playing against a team missing their starting Quarterback (Jimmy G), and one of their most explosive weapons (George Kittle).  Overall, the 49ers are in the bottom half of the league in scoring.  At the same time, the 49ers are Top 10-12 in virtually every defensive statistical category - even without Nick Bosa.

     

    The Bills have done a good job stopping the run over the last few weeks.  They absolutely cannot go back to old habits and start struggling with it again.  This is probably not a week for us to count on scoring 30+ points and throwing all over the field.  This is probably a game where our offense is going to struggle a bit, and the final score may look like something from our 2019 schedule.  

     

    SF is expected to have Debo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Raheem Mostert together for just the third time this season.  Having all three in their line up will improve their rushing game.  I expect Mostert to have a good game.  SFs offensive performance will exceed their season averages.

    I'm expecting a lot of press man and 8 men boxes on defense.  They are a dink and dunk offense who can run.

     

    Make Mullens beat you over the top and take away the short passing game.  I don't know if we blitz a lot because Mullens gets rid of the ball quick....I think we want to make him hold it.

    This is something we should consider, or at least lean towards this kind of defense.  Defend the short game.

    Roof will be closed right? Otherwise gotta think it gets pretty cold at night, even if it will be 8pm/9pm (do they do daylight savings time?)

    Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone (so it's 2pm currently).  They do not go on Daylight Savings.  So in the winter they are the same time as the Mountain States.  In the summer time they are the same time as the Pacific states (when those states go on daylight savings).

    Should we give the Bills a pass vs. LAC???

    You know, I think it's a mistake to second-guess the instincts of a professional football player too deeply from afar.

     

    At the point where Josh picked the ball up, looks to me as though Linval Joseph is diving for it with Morse on top of him.  Josh doesn't pick it up, good chance Joseph gets it and Josh has 635 lbs of human smacking him in the head.  I think his instinct to pick up the ball there is correct.

    The problem is then Josh drops it as he's trying to tuck it away.  After he picked it up out of there he should probably have thrown himself down with the ball and curled up around it.  But hard to say.

     

    Critiquing Josh's fumble handling is more or less "lipstick on a pig" anyway.  The root problem is that the snap was botched.   It goes down as a fumble on Josh but I'm pretty sure it was snapped below his lower hand.   Morse said in his presser it was on him.

     

    Which team is controlling the line of scrimmage do you think?

    Why are you surprised. Don’t they have 4 wins and are without their starting Qb

    I'm hearing rumors that G might be close to coming back.  SF is a good team and they looked pretty good yesterday.  I believe this game will be a close game and come down to the wire.  I didn't think SF would be favored by much, something like a 3pt spread.  I just thought we'd be the dog.
