And you don’t run the ball once. Fire this coach now! Now!

Seriously if Allen isn’t fired directly after this game something is badly wrong.

You mean the guy who fumbled at the 1 last time we were down there?

He was def open, but you have no idea what the natural progression of that play is supposed to be. Kamara was likely option 4 or 5. The progression was right to left, but he rolled/got flushed right, so he never got to read the left side.

We weren’t running for a TD on that team in that game.

Their run defense was impressive.
As much as I wanted someone to truck Warner and 29 - I don’t think it was happening yesterday.

Why would we run the ball? Andy fricking Dalton had 21 yards yesterday and was our leading rusher. Hill, Kamara, and Ingram all averaged between 1.9 and 2.5 yards per.

We just got big boyed. Is what it is.

So in 4 plays we should have been able to get in from the 4 yard line....

No, because the threat of the pass is taken out when you're 4 yards away from the end zone, you're as inefficient as we are, and the opponent the caliber of SF can just key in on the run.

ETA: I agree we over thought the simplest of things but we got big boyed up front all game so it probably wouldn't have mattered. Don't think we could've gotten it regardless.

No, you don't abandon your identity because they've been stopping you, you just get more creative with your playcalling in goal to go running situations.

More taysom, fake a sweep with a wr, etc.

Johnson and Taysom both had the ball hit them in the numbers in the end zone and couldn’t come up with a catch.

Our identity is a running offense when we have like 140 yards total rushing over the last 3 weeks huh?

When we've won games it was due to committing to the running game. With taysom. With multiple backs.

Week by week this staff proves to be more and more clueless.

Yeah, it's kind of different when you're facing the #1 run defense in the league in both yards allowed and yards averaged per carry and you have a below average running attack.

Context matters. You can't just say "commit to the run game" when we had like 30 yards sans Dalton scrambles.

Must be something badly wrong, because Dumbass DA is still the Aints HC as of this very moment.

Duce said on the radio AK was further down the progression.
