OCTOBER 19: Around the NFL, Week 7

[Brand J]

49ers defense shouldn’t be this good to stymie that ATL offense. But I guess it’s the version of the Falcons offense that scored 0 against Carolina.

Technically correct. But weird. they really aren’t that precise with the “out of the tackle box.” He was like a foot or two away.

The problem is that the same play will be called differently every week in the NFL.  Remember the Drake Maye intentional grounding that wasn't called?  Tonight they were sticklers for the rule and likely took Falcon points off the board.  Tomorrow night they won't call it on an even worse violation.

GB loses that game today without Micah Parsons btw.

McCaffrey having his best game in 2 years

Gunna need Mac and Cheese to turn another one over

He’s been better than the Ravens first round safety, Starks.

I would rather have 2nd and 10 than 1st and 15 from a defensive standpoint.

Saleh is a damn good DC regardless of his acumen as a HC

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Weird. They have Bijan and they are throwing on 4th and 1?

[Brand J]

The Mac Jones led 49ers, with half their defensive starters out, are about to take down the mighty Atlanta Falcons. Crazy league. 

[Aussie Joe]

Why rush only 3 there ? 

[DapperCam]

Technically I’m pretty sure it is against the rules to pull a teammate with the ball forward. Not sure I’ve ever seen it called though.

[Lionel Hutz]

The falcons running attack looks downright pedestrian tonight. Must be the time zone affecting them.

yet we saw intentional grounding when the QB was 1 foot inside the tackle box! 

 

They really need to spend this much time looking at this replay?

[Talley56]

For all of the talent the Niners have had in recent years it amazes me that they haven't won a SB yet.  Even with key injuries they are still beating good teams.

Seems to me that Mac Jones and Brock Purdy are pretty much equal.

Part of that is the plug and play Shanahan offense of course.

Many such cases. Hiring a fired HC to be a coordinator often leads to good results.
