Blinkscout Final game ... 9ers
|
|
I was surprised seeing some of the negative reactions to the game given our history with the 9ers and the fact that we get into the playoffs regardless.
That and the fact that if Stafford's last pass was on target we win 26-23. He hits OBJ in stride and we aren't having a lot of these conversations.
The Great
1) Kupp and the Triple Crown. Donald may not 4 pete but we have anther award winner.
2) The last TD drive we looked like a playoff team, that was top tier execution.
3) Having Cam Akers back (though I don't think he needed that many reps, Michel didn't get into a rhythm)
4) Having a good start.
5) Separate from triple crown, was that 16 games out of 17 over 90 yards? He beat the record by three?
6) Ramsey's iNT. Won't be forgetting that ...
The Good
7) Higbee being solid and making good contributions.
8) Rapp's INT (I can only assume Ramsey was hitting him in the face for a different reason this week)
9) Howard in coverage ...
10) Burgess' tackling ... seriously, why hasn't he been playing?
11) Jefferson returning after getting his bell rung.
12) Recovering. After giving up 17 unanswered and looking incompetent on offense, we pulled it together ... psychologically that's what we need to be able to do. We took momentum back.
13) Another solid PR.
The Bad
13) Backing into the playoffs. At least the Cards backed in, too.
14) Knowing we may have to play them again.
The Ugly
15) The O line in the 3rd quarter especially. It looked like they were doing specific types of rushes to converge on the pocket at the seventh step. Also, giving up 5 sacks and was it 12 freaking knock downs?
16) Going empty set on 3rd and 1. Reminded me of Bull Durham when Crash tells the hitter what pitch is coming. You can't do that unless there's a threat of the QB run as well.
17) The tackling, run defense overall, but the tackling was particularly weak.
18) Blowing a 17 point lead.
19) Watching helplessly as the 9ers ran every play of a 70 yard drive capped with a pass by a WR.
20) The amount of 9ers fans in the stands, what in the actual ?
The "No, just no."
21) Giving up a 90 yard drive to a running team with no timeouts, including a 50 yard play to their top player and a walk in TD from blown coverage. Can that be a pink slip for Raheem, please? I'd go after Fangio. Flores I think gets another gig immediately.
College
22) Senior Bowl and Shrine rosters are out, most talented field in either ... so our late picks will all be solid value.
23) I'm taking Georgia tonight? Guesses? I'm going 44-34
Questions and comments welcome ...
