Clearly they aren't coaching the same games we're watching.

No they are really not though...they haven't scored a TD in 3 games. Just because Callahan is purposely shorten games, doesn't mean we are close.

San Fran woulda killed us if it wasn't for rain...we got shut out there (I believe)

I'm with you on this.
If AP wasn't on the team, they might not get 100 total yards a game.

The lack of play action or any creativity shows you that they are just trying to learn to tie their own shoes right now.
