And I'm 100% calling out the coaching staff cause they got shut out by a 31st ranked defense!!!!! As I said, if your offense sucks then fine, but AT LEAST show me that you're trying! Show me some diversity! Buffalo ran the wildcat so why aren't we? Why didn't we keep feeding Hankerson after he made a nice play? Why do we have one run play? Why do they rotate 50 wr's every week? Why don't we keep in extra blockers? I could go on and on. Kyle sucked shit yesterday and he's sucked for pretty much the entire year. No way to sugar coat it. FIRE YOUR KID MIKE. ENOUGH!!!!

Harbaugh kept his QB instead of wasting a 2nd rounder on a washed up QB from a divisional opponent.

Yeah pretty much. I don't think you fire Kyle right now, but I think Mike needs to reel him in big time. His playcalling is mind boggling.

Who did Buffalo run the wildcat with? Brad Smith and Tyler Thigpen? Two converted QBs that can run? Who do you suppose we run the wildcat with? Grossman, a QB who can't run? Or Banks, a non QB who can run? Heck the Panthers ran the option with Cam Newton? How come we never try that?

I got a feeling that Helu wasn't out there much after he failed to pickup a blind side blitz that got Beck sacked. He released and didn't even touch the incoming defender, but I'm going to speculate it was his pickup. Don't think I saw him the rest of the game.

Didn't watch any football yesterday but why was Harbaugh having his QB throwing to his offensive linemen? What sort of injuries did SF and Carolina have? What makes the Panthers' OC so great?

Well it was on some short yardage plays where o-linemen were brought in as TE's and they made some big conversions by throwing to them. And you can just see that Carolina has molded their offense around Cam Newton by the playcalling and the formations. I don't know Carolina's or SF's injury situation. But I do know that the Eagles and Gaints had injuries to their o-line and it's not armageddon when it happens.

When the roster was being paired down to 53 we had more receivers than we knew what to do with, now, we can't do anything with the one's we have. The team is beset by so many problem areas that it's entire function is in chaos. Blocking has to improve for the runners to run, QB's to throw. Frustration was written all over Torain after evey carry yesterday and it won't improve for Helu or any other runner until conditions improve up front.

Only place to go is up from here. Can't get much worse... can it?

I just want to see guys get a chance to play.

I hate seeing different WR packages every down.
Everytime Niles Paul comes in we know it's a running play.
Austin and Armstrong on the same side? One guy is going to stretch the field the other is going to sit in coverage for a 8 yard gain on 3rd and 10.

Pick your best 3 WRs and play them the whole game unless they are tired or injured.
I think it's time to move on From Anthony Armstrong and Gaffney. We need to see if Hankerson, Austin and Paul can become quality players.
Everytime they send in a new WR package, they are telegraphing their plays.

The Shanahans are so cocky that they think they can telegraph their plays and still beat a defense.

I just don't understand why all the rotating of the wr's either. Makes no sense to me at all. Hankerson caught a ball at the start and then got yanked.

We say that every year and seemingly it gets worst. It is hard to be a fan of this organization

Also, you kids still think we should be signing Laron Landry to a contract extension? ...lol


This quote about Landry pretty much sums it up for me.

"I think instead of "beast" his new nickname should be "The magician." Because more often then not he's a disappearing act."

Well if you let him go that's another hole to fill, because there's nobody else on this roster that is starting caliber at his spot.

Unfortunately you are right, but I don't think he's worth any type of major contract.
