But wouldn't it be great to work in a little read option out of that 8)

At this point, I am seriously ok with spending a high draft pick to get some quality receiver play. That said, we absolutely do not have the cap space for Jeffrey.

I think there's a contradiction in there But yeah, Lynn went "they are missing 3 DL starters and have a bad linebacker group? Let's let Felton and Shady smash it up the middle."

The niners right now are 31st in run defense. Let's not over think this: heavy sets with 6 OL, Felton lead blocking and Shady pounding the rock. I kept hearing we used the pistol yesterday too. Has anyone done a writeup? I miss the ones Quinn used to do.

I've heard buzz that Kaep is starting. Give him the Brisset treatment ?

My fiancée has pointed this habit out to me. I think we have been so conditioned to accept snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. In the Cardinals game we won by 15 so I kept thinking that somehow with Palmer they could get their quick-strike offense back into it. Winning by 16 was still only two score game I kept expecting the Patriots to do the Patriots. But this one is where the only reason it got as close as it did was we let them back into it. You are *supposed* to win Games where you have close to 200 yards rushing. When you win the turnover battle 3-0.

I definitely agree. We also are likely going to lose Woods to free agency, since this is the last year of his deal. There's always a market for guys who are decent #2 receivers, and we are going to have our hands full trying to keep Gilmore and the current hit on Tyrod's contract. FWIW, I like Tyrod and wanted to win the job. I was happy when we got paid this offseason. But man, he does not look worth the $27.5 million cap hit. But we don't have a ton of options.

To me, that's it. I can remember all the times we would win the turnover battle, have a dominant run game...and still lose. Today, we scrapped out a win. And we did it to a point where it wound up not being close by the end. We did it on the road, when the initial bets were against us.

No matter how we did it, I've kept hearing about how tough it is to win two straight on the road. Well, we won in Gillette for the first time ever. Then we flew to the west coast, and beat one of the best defensive teams.

Robey full stop. But LorAx really deserves one too

After how bad Goodwin has looked, I am ok with a size receiver right now

We should be owning this game. Ought to be. We have let sloppy **** get in our way. I am reminded of the Kansas game last year.

ugly, but I will take points. we have scored points on a 2 minute drill

Looks like brilliant pickup right now

You should hear the pats fans on PFT. Florio worst of all. If McDaniels didn't know who his starting QB waa their medical staff is worse than ours.

I would be happy to have him back. He just has a gear Gillisle does not. I would have been ok stashing him for the games during his suspension so I'll take him now.

He should. The story on Wentz was "higher ceiling, but might not be NFL ready because he played division 1 AA." And Wentz has looked like a seasoned vet while Goff can't get on the field.

I don't need to know what he does to Robert Kraft!

Thanks for the extended stats. I'm kind of seeing a game plan of what the Ravens did to us: Make Keenum be a QB. Force him to throw to beat us with our secondary playing like it has the last two games.

Very interesting numbers. I think they are also 11th on defense on YPA rushing, but are 17th overall. It seems like they allow a lot of yards, but few points, but struggle to match on offense. Honestly that sounds a lot like how we played the Pats last week.

To me, the Wildcat is not something you build your offense around. It was one of those college concepts that everyone tried for a bit and teams have studied how to beat. That said, all through last season and the Jets game this year, we've been a team where when you need one yard, and your opponents know you need one yard, we can't get it done. I like the Wildcat a hell of a lot more than bringing EJ Manuel on the field for a QB sneak.

Well, for better or for worse, the NFL (when at it's best) is about winning And there is a body of work to say that, next week, Marcel Dareus is the best 1 tech DT or NT we can put out there and gives us the best chance to win. Is it unfair to the people who put in there time, but didn't come in with as big expectations? Maybe. The NFL is filled with people who got passed over because someone had a higher draft spot and later prove themselves. But right now, this week, you play him.

I guess it makes sense that less than 2 days isn't enough to get you into the gameplan and make sure you are up to speed. It would be good to have him on Sunday though.

Nice! I heard "expected to be out 4-6 weeks" at the outset of the injury so I would love to see him back for the Dolphins.
