Was thinking the same thing actually .. we need to do some of this stuff
Other teams make it look SO easy (like the play action to Graham was pitch and catch)

When I watch us it's a different game

Green Bay has Aaron Rodgers. We have Baker Mayfield. It's stupid to compare them.

I do think we need to incorporate some things to offset Baker's weaknesses, but I disagree w/you that our coaches are dumber than theirs.

In fact, I think McCarthy is one of the dumber coaches in the NFL.

I am all about the 49ers right now.

Wow! What a route by Goodwin. I'm telling you from someone who played and coached...............that was a terrific move!!!!

Kyle Shanahan was our best OC that I can remember ... I love how he keeps teams off balance and uses zone run attack/misdirection in the passing game

And now I see them have the inside toss sweeps that they run .. and I remember us doing it succesfully too

I think play calling and design is overrated in the NFL, but a few guys stand out.

Kyle Shannahan is a guy I wasn't too enthused about us hiring, but damn, his schemes were awesome. His use of the route tree was superb.

Andy Reid is a good schemer. Especially early in the year. However, his teams choke late.

McVie for the Rams looks pretty good. I haven't watched the Rams enough to say for sure.

Gase in Miami has some really good designs.

Y'all won't like this one, but Hue was highly regarded for his schemes and designs.

Truth be told, some are better than others, but the main thing is having the talent to execute your schemes and calls.

I love me some Shanny.

I agree about McVay .. also think Gase, Nagy, and Pederson have shown good stuff early

Man, not sure about Nagy.

I think he blew that game yesterday. Dude refused to allow Trub to throw on that last drive. Settled for a FG that was round 50 yards. He also made a huge blunder two weeks ago.

If Hue would have pulled either stunt, y'all would be lynching him. Hell, y'all complain about things that aren't even issues.

Rodgers just got sacked on a naked bootleg. That is the danger of such plays. You have your qb rolling to the part of the field w/out protection. If an edge rusher is coming from the outside, you could be toast.

Packers defense sure could’ve used Demarius Randall tonight.

Thankfully they traded him to us. Oh well.

This Bethard kid for SF is playing a nice game. He's pretty gritty.

Rogers has ice in his veins.

Aaron Rodgers is the best QB I’ve ever seen.

They should have kicked the FG. With them having good field position now a TD would have put them up.

I just keep laughing about how good Rodgers is, then I wonder about the prior 58 minutes...

It was a great comback.

McVay and Nagy are 1 and 2 imo

If we had fired Hue last year, Nagy was who I wanted.

y'all? I'm not one who has a pitchfork after Hue. I'm very open minded when it comes to him as our coach.

Aaron Rodgers is INCREDIBLE. That performance the last few minutes was Houdini-esque ... and he made it look so effortless

With a little help from the refs at the end of the game. That flag they threw on Sherman for illegal contact was ridiculous.

Fix

Legit call in my opinion, clearly Sherman grabs Adams as he peels back - can't help you if you cannot see that.

That is certainly an issue, but a bigger issue is the guys on the field not catching catchable balls.

Interesting because last year apparently the problem was with the rookie QB....

But I think BM will rebound on the next 4 games, if he does not then we are in trouble.

YADA YADA YADA, in conclusion when its your guy, its the other player problem, when you don't like a QB, then it's a QB problem.

I'm not jumping on Baker like I never did on Kizer, I try to understand the situation, but please don't try to spin things around.

Baker has to increase the completion % by at least 10%.
Baker has to have a much better TD/Int ratio.
Baker has to perform much better outside the pocket.

In the end its about production, so stop the excuses. If Baker can't do it alone, the coaching staff has to find other ways to help the kid,something you never understood about Kizer.

Baker isn't the problem, Baker's fundamentalists are... When he they started criticizing and blaming TT for the losses, and didn't see the guy gave the team a chance to win.

Next 4 games and we will see... I think Haley is going to deliver.

Kizer was never my guy, my guy was Deshaun Watson and Rosen this year. But I always thought Kizer was an intriguing prospect,considering his attributes and the situation he had in ND.

Also think Kizer was rushed, specially considering that his main problem was in his head, that is IMHO why Kizer was so inaccurate.

What I think its strange is someone saying a QB with a 53.6% is inaccurate and another with 55.6% is an accurate passer, for me they are both inaccurate.

I'm not comparing Kizer to BM, although I was much more comfortable picking Kizer where we did than picking Baker first...

Give the guys time, that means not crowning them after half of a good game nor bash them after some bad games.

And IMHO drops are drops... that's the stat. Yes many passes were good and its the receiver fault, but many other times there are impossible catches.... You should never take one stat alone to access a player.
