It's true that Shanahan is universally regarded as a master strategist.

 

That said the biggest blemishes on his career are his 2 Super Bowl appearances.

 

His horrific playcalling in the New England-Atlanta Super Bowl arguably cost the Falcons the game and his performance against KC is still questioned in the Bay Area.

 

That's true, and I was living in Atlanta at the time. I don't care about the Falcons, but utterly chagrined that dopey playcalling allowed evil once again to triumph.

McDermott might very well scheme a strong defense that could confuse Purdy. I just don't trust his in game adjustments or capacity to rise to the crisis of the moment. Allen can sometimes overcome our wrs that can't get separation, and zebra bias. It's a strange year, but I do think we could win it all.

You can put to bed that narrative.

Lamar gonna win MVP racking up easy TDs

Lamar just moved from +100 to -115.

 

I'm sure Miami's D will show Him what's up.

Problem with the niners are they keep rushing their d ends way up field, allowing Lamar to escape the pocket and use either his legs to run or create new passing lanes. 
 

I feel Like whenever we play Baltimore our d ends are pretty disciplined setting the edge, not getting too far upfield and forcing Lamar to beat us from the pocket. Niners should have used that gameplan

CMC is a great player but he's also the recipient of a very strong run blocking O-line as well as great downfield blockers in Kyle Juszczyk, George Kittle and Deebo Samuel.

 

He might get the best run blocking in the league.

 

Shanahan is one of the best in the business at getting production out of RB's, and yes the team around him is good, but he had a couple of monster years in Carolina too when he was healthy enough to play 16. He's one of only 3 players to have both 1,000+ yds rushing and 1,000+ yards receiving in a single season. The other two are Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk. It's not all the team he's on.

Zay looking close

 

Not really close to calling him a #1 at this point. A slot only WR of his stature, he will have to be as good as Cooper Kupp to earn that label.

They winning how they win every week.  Defense giving them easy fields.  30 points but barely over 200 yards of offense lol.

No he's not. He has hit only 3 passes to a WR running their route. And one just happened to Flowers who was so wide open it was easy.

 

Jackson isn't reading at all. He is reacting at QB. He is missing great windows more successful QB's can hit. He is overcoming it with a balanced run offense, a lackluster niners defense who has a poor gameplan (too far up field, not containing, playing off the ball and not cutting off the under stuff)...

 

Yeah, the ravens aren't impressing me

I've never been anxious against Lamar, although he's improved since we last faced him. I agree, we still match up well.

What a joke. Miami's defense is night and day ro the niners. They can cut off the under routes, press zone coverage, use linebackers to step up on Jackson.

 

Ultimately, the weapon next week who will beat the Ravens is Likely.

[Scott7975]

They can keep CMC.  I'll take Deebo for Allen.

[Warcodered]

There's still a lot of time left, and weirdly enough I wouldn't be shocked if Lamar and the Ravens offense just stopped.

Somewhere there is a stat where the offense takes possession nof the ball. I promise the ravens are top 3 in that.

 

They also have their historically strong special teams

Their defense is seriously impressing me. No hand waving away their performance tonight.

 

The offense I agree with you, they have been gifted several easy opportunities and the 49ers seemingly are not even trying to contain Lamar in the pocket.

Is it because they’ve had like 1 drive all game longer than 30 yards that wasn’t like 80% penalty yards?

[Big Blitz]

Trent Williams out.  Groin injury.
