The D was good. Chris Carson continues to impress. We didn't lose. That's about it.

Hawk Sista wrote:Anthony... we like RW too. But you simply kill any chance of a reasonable discussion with always blaming others MORE. WE ALL AGREE that the line sux right now and we saw the drops, too. Hell, there was a sniper on the Roof and was kinda thinking Paul Allen put him up there to take out Bevel. It's not a good offense right now and there is plenty of blame to go around. Pete, Tom, Bevel, the line, RW, the drops, the lack of commitment to o-line investment in general (JS, I guess) etc.... But if RW wants to be regarded as top tier talent...if you want to regard him with the Brady, Rogers elite, he quite simply cannot overshoot open dudes and skip easy competitions off the turf for 1st downs. If you just acknowledge that w/o having to ALWAYS add the "but," we'd all respect your take a little more.

I think his total was probably more like 4 or 5 in the first half alone. It sure seemed like it as he wasn't having his best game as a whole.

But my great fear is that the biggest chronic problem with this team is why he is beginning to make uncharacteristic mistakes on seemingly pitch and catch throws.
Russ is hearing footsteps and expecting contact every play. Can you blame him? His passing has been ordinary at best arm wise and he's been taking off and running more than ever. Then he drops one right on a reciever and they can't squeeze it.
But the dude is under duress almost every drop back it seems. This putrid O line and offensive scheme is ruining the best QBin the history of the franchise.
It's a damn shame.

Some things never change, and one of them is that Anthony will forever make excuses for Russell's sub par play, which is why he was announcing every dropped pass during the game thread. He was laying the ground work for his excuse making.
Russell has been off this season, first against the Packers and now against the Niners. It seems to me that most of the time when he misses, he's missing high and long. I guess that's a good thing as under thrown passes are more likely to get picked off than over thrown ones, but I'm wondering if he's getting a bit paranoid of having his passes knocked down and is trying to compensate by putting a higher trajectory on the ball, hence his overthrows.

There aren't the stories about being at VMac at 5 am anymore etc or any FB posts about no time for sleep to be sure.it is what it is.

1. The sack at about the 5 minute mark of 1Q was 100% Russell's fault, and I *think* there may have been another.
2. There was a 'QB hit' on RW that should have been flagged- it was close, but the defender saw the ball leave then took 2 steps and planted his face in RW's back (then planted RW). It was a clear "I'm not going to get this close on a free run to the blind-side just to pull up!" and they *never* let blatant shots like that go anymore. Whistle-swallowing like that doesn't help a QB with PTSD.
