We know it wasn’t the RBs. Had to sit them on the bench because they weren’t effective at all. They couldn’t fumble because wouldn’t give them the ball anymore after nothing but failure.

Actually Sanders fumbled twice…but was injured..we wouldn’t hand it to him again after all that though hehehe

Ok done with this,we've already kicked this dead horse(I posted Hams pic already). The fact remains Hurts needs to hoist the Lombardi now. The past is gone. We paid him. He is the team leader and he needs to get it done now. He needs to stop the ball hogging and use the players Howie has provided. A true leader will accomplish that. For Hurts it's showtime. I have nothing else to add to this

Better RB now,Howie provided it. One less excuse off the books

Mahomes was DOWN 10 points in the SB. Which QB responded??? There was no reason to allow Mahomes to outscore us by over 10 points in 30 minutes 31 PPG wasn't enough in that game,yet in 30 minutes our offense got outscored(yes the D stunk up the joint as well) but there was no reason for us to be outscored. I could see it differently if we were down by 10 at the 1/2. But we were UP. Their offense responded(led by Mahomes) and we couldn't put up enough points. The D was bad enough but when the O gives up a free 7 it deflates the whole team

How football works is one team gets the ball first. Most always the team that wins the coin toss elects to get the ball first…IN THE SECOND HALF. We got the ball first the chiefs got it to start the second half. So once things were equal(after the Chiefs first drive of the second half) we had a field goal lead only. This is just basic fair play way of looking at the game. They got the ball first in the second half. How was Hurts supposed to do anything about that?

Does  it factor into your logic AT ALL the D needing to get a stop? Not just giving up the points…but keeping our O off the field. Just breaking it down to the very end of the game. D gets a stop we win. At worst OT..because of what Hurts was doing that day.

Well not if he’s injured in the crucial game or moment. But think we have a better RB 2 now. Gotta get this kid up and running to be easy.

One player will accomplish and overcome all…so states FL. He has to do even more than he did in the SB…and be absolutely flawless doing it…or else it’s all his fault. 

By FL logic Dan Marino sucks. Our whole franchise has always sucked. We haven’t put up 33 points every game and won Super Bowls. Been Hurts fault the whole time!

Excuses. We're all tired of them. Lurie will be soon also

Excuses? Reasons? Just blame Hurts for all…much easier

You don't take a sack in the EZ in ANY GAME ANYWHERE in ANY VENUE. if you are too stupid to throw the ball away that is not "thriving under pressure" that is succumbing to the pressure.please.

It’s such a vaunted Oline why was he dealing with so much pressure? I mean actual physical defenders in his face pressure?

So you only approve of one player in the history of our franchise? Foles!

I thought you didn’t believe that mattered. You stated it was all Oline.

Saquan will make a difference I do believe. Saw how McCaffrey made such a difference with the Niners.

AJ and DeVonta sure did their jobs in that SB. Needed to pay those guys. The most moronic coaching robbed us of AJ last postseason(not that it would have changed the outcome). But both have proven to me they are ready for the big moments..competitors that thrive even under the biggest lights.

Secondary is a unit that works together why you see such drastic fall offs when so many new faces work together the communication is off. 

Fangio kind of building things from scratch here. He has some tools to work with…I’m optimistic. Not unrealistically expecting the D to be at its peak week one. Really just need Bryce and Nolan to show up bringing that pass rush and to not be complete liabilities against the run. Both really need to prove durability.  

lol we still on the Hurts SB…. hurts has to get better, as does the play calling, D and everything else.

Gains is the 2

I really really really hope we limited this play I don’t want to get rid of it completely but I don’t think we need to risk our QB or our OL guys in the 2nd qtr on 3rd down to get a Td just run it with a RB 

Just now, GreenbleedinNC said:

Hoping this doesn’t stay lol though Gains would likely be a key piece still since he is the only other RB that can pass block besides Bark.

But hope otherwise Ship overtakes Gains for RB2

You were saying the RB didn’t matter it was all Oline. You weren’t alone. But we definitely are going to see how a lesser Oline and a top RB works out.

If it was up to Siri still? He’d  be RB1 again…however that happened…but it did.

Yeah believe this play really wears on our guys. It wears on our opponent…but our Oline and QB at the bottom of that vicious pile all the time.

Kid has that burst. Gains is fine and pretty solid. Just doesn’t have that burst. Shipley finds a lane it will be a big play. I know No Mas  will point out my worrying but just don’t want to overuse Saquan..especially early in the season. So would like to see the backups contribute meaningfully.
