I don't think McVay has game planned well ONCE this year... much less only against the Niners.
Today.... McVay has been lauded all year for 'second half adjustments'.. today - he couldn't have done WORSE than YOU would have been calling the plays, much less me.
Look at his first quarter stats.... he hasn't gone into a single game this year with a good game plan. He's lost this year, (unlike last year, and totally), and has succumbed to Fisher-itis.
Don't get me wrong... McVay is the RIGHT guy... but right now he's 'adapting' 180ยบ opposite of what should be done. He's panicked, grasping at straws... still brilliant, no doubt.. but having severe growing pains.
Wow. Really?! That seems super over-the-top to me.
I see a team:
1. With an average-at-best OL, which has really hurt the O vs. last year.
2. W/a diminished once-star RB, which has hurt the O.
3. Whose offensive schemes are no longer a step ahead of the league's defenses.
4. That, in spite of oodles of talent, doesn't have a transcendent skill-player-offensive-talent who can carry the team on "off-schedule" plays (Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, Russell Wilson).
Given your criticism of McVay, what about him do you find "still brilliant"? Real question.
