Clock wise this is well timed for a double dip. This drive is huuuuge

Again, if they are reaching for tackle eligible plays, fine. Disappointed with the execution on the 3rd down Goff escape. That was a good defensive call the right end (think it was AJE) lost contain.

Get Von out of there. He is hopeless.

That's how you attack Elam. Make him transition. Comeback routes etc.

The last two drives are 80% playcalling. The first drive was 90% Josh. But the 2nd drive and 3rd drive... that is playcalling.

I really hope the Jets are too busy celebrating their rare win and have the tvs off. Because if I needed a HC and saw Brady's playcalling today I'd be moving him up my list.

That is another Joe Brady masterclass. I hope no teams needing HCs are watching.

Great call on 4th down Joe Brady. Brilliant coordinating.

Yep he did. Von has been dreadful since his return from suspension. He actually played okay the first few weeks.

I don't even mind that touchdown. If they are gonna live on Jared Goff creating off schedule I'll take that.

Exactly right. Don't sell out to stop gimmick plays. Let them have those. Stop the bread and butter.

First drive was all Josh. 2nd drive was all Joe Brady. Exceptional play calling. 14 zip.

Should have been a flag on Campbell

Well Ed has already had 3 plays this week better than anything last week.

How many times is Romo gonna say "ex-wrestler"

Wow double corner blitz

Great drive Josh. He is just so freaking good.

Should be DPI on a second look

Wow. Shakir should catch that.

That's a GREAT throw.

Just got home in time.... phew... not caught up with earlier games other than Fins loss. Letsssss goooooo Buffffaaaaalllloooooo!

It will be a DLineman, yep.

Haven't seen the game but part of the answer to why San Fran always do well against McVay is that McVay is basically running Shanahan's plays. Nobody understands that offense as well as Kyle Shanahan and he understands how to stop it too.

Yep. That's the point. Nobody is saying other plays were bound to work. But as soon as they went sneak and timeout the game was lost. There were other plays you could have called that might not have worked but wouldn't have ended the game by not working.

Haven't watched last night's game yet, but it was pretty clear to me that was the adjustment to make. The people screaming about blitzing and man coverage scream about that every week. I call it the Madden effect. In real football desperately throwing blitzes around as a last resort rarely works. My overall take is Sunday was a combination. It was certainly a coaching failure on defense but it was the case we were just out executed too. Timing up the blitzes better so that Stafford can't fake you out every time, that's execution. Players have to be better there. They have to recognise early in the game it is what he is trying to do and they have to hold their nerve to go late. And Taron Johnson just got got. He was outplayed, dominated, and well beaten. Could scheme have helped, possibly, but Taron just lost his 1v1 matchup convincingly and when one of your better players does that, you are in for a tough day. Taylor Rapp particularly struggled as well. I thought the Rams, who obviously know him well, did a good job of getting his eyes in the wrong place and then exposing him. The touchdown run to the outside was an example but there were others where they fooled him and then he was late to his gap. But the coaching is a wider concern, because this is twice now for Babich (Sunday and Baltimore) where when they have struggled early he has mad bad panicky adjustments and been unable to stem the bleeding. His more man and blitz adjustment just resulted in getting us even more shredded. It made conceptually no sense to me. Stafford wanted to work in the short and intermediate spaces and you are opening those gaps up wider by bringing the players who should be there to pressure. It made the windows for those throws from Stafford as big as anything and he shredded them. I think McVay and Monken have both set him traps and he has fallen into them. Young coordinator, still learning, but (and I know I am about the only person on this entire forum who misses him) there is zero chance Leslie Frazier makes those mistakes IMO.
