September 22, 2013 49ers Lose Again - Tough Run Option Not Used - Forced Passing Fails Again

The first quarter drive by the 49ers scored a touchdown as they appeared ready to run the ball down the Colts throat until they choked. Instead, they wasted the game using the same forced pass attack strategies that failed against the Seahawks.  They looked bad. On the few read option plays they ran, they tried not to fool anyone and seemed more afraid of injury than wanting to score. Throwing short of a 1st down or sliding quickly are 2013 priorities for QB Kaepernick who was taught these things. Speed and his strong arm are of little benefit now because he plays afraid. Coach was afraid of losing Kaepernick, so he put fear inside of Kaepernick... so now Kaepernick no longer is a threat. The only reason the Packers lost was because they played for the run and that left a pass game open. Seahawks and Colts dared Kaepernick to run as they shut down his pass game... his opportunity was to use read option 50 yard scoring plays by alternating running, passes, and quick hitting hard running plays by Gore based on a good read and good execution. Instead 49ers ran motion, changed sets, lined up in the I formation, and modified old planned plays. Teaching Kaepernick this mediocrity and a multitude of sets does not perfect what he does best. A path to ruin is where the 49ers offense walks now. They are a timid, confused offense trying to brain ways to victory instead of being the good athletes they are, playing hard, and executing well what they do best.

The Colts and Seahawks have each out played and out coached the 49ers. The 49ers offense are now masters of nothing.  The 49ers offence does everything now but does nothing very well, like a practice squad, so perhaps just playing the practice squad is their next move. The 49er defence played well in both games but showed a defeated attitude by giving up in the 4th quarter of both games.

Half Measures Fail 49ers - 49ers Loose To Seahawks - September 2013

Half measures fail the 49ers and they loose to the Seahawks. - The 49ers offense tried blending new pistol ideas with old drop back, complex play calling, motion, formation adjustments and some read options... the results were clear - they harmed more effective, quick play, exhausting, brutal, pistol read ya beat ya strategies... Hawks D was too good for half measures or fools play.... Kaepernick did not read then act on open plays to exhaust their defense, nor did he play to score on every play - instead he was just another NFL pocket passer - who can slide. Can he still be the great Pistol read ya beat ya QB athlete that he was becoming?  He was on track to be the best Pistol QB athlete in the NFL. Is mediocrity as a pocket passing ex-pistol athlete his new destiny?  Kaep was guessing and was confused against the Hawks... end of story. Some of it was his problem and some was coaching error. There are times when a QB takes control and runs his best stuff to win and he chooses when to do this. Kaepernick needs to know when and what he will do when these times arise.... Superbowl end of the game and Hawks game are examples of when Kaepernick needed to go out there and do his best stuff. Kaepernick knows what he does best and he knows how to use it. He is intelligent. No excuses from or for him. What will he do?  Interesting to watch for this next week.

Packers Lose At 49ers 2013 Opener - Pistol Guns Down Old Linebacker Who Talks Too Much.

49ers Packers 2013 Season Opener - My Time Machine just brought me home, the game was great.

Pistol shots beat Pack as 49ers run 70% Pistol Formation plays - 20% planned passes 20% planned running and 60% no huddle read option plays. Pack overplays Kaep for outside running and gOre guts them inside with 130 yards rushing 2 TDs plus a TD reception on the best play of the game in the red zone - Kaep starts outside then passes through ez pass lane to Gore in the end zone as packers confused, fail to tackle Gore on the fake handoff chasing Kaep instead. Kaep Throws 2 more TDs to Davis and runs for another TD as 49ers win 41 to 24.

PS - Mathews takes a beating from trap blocks by Davis and a furious ground game. You gotta see this one. < :0)

49ers Roster September 1, 2013 Forecast A Win Over Packers 40 to 24

Colin Kaepernick, Colt McCoy, B.J. Daniels, Anquan Boldin, Marlon Moore, Jon Baldwin, Kyle Williams, Quinton Patton, Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter, LaMichael James, Anthony Dixon, Bruce Miller Vernon Davis, Vance McDonald, Garrett Celek , Joe Staley, Mike Iupati, Jonathan Goodwin, Alex Boone, Anthony Davis, Daniel Kilgore, Adam Snyder, Joe Looney, Aldon Smith, Justin Smith, Ian Williams, Ray McDonald, Glenn Dorsey, Will Tukuafu, Tony Jerod-Eddie, Cam Johnson, Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman, Michael Wilhoite, Nate Stupar, Nick Moody, Ahmad Brooks, Corey Lemonier, Dan Skuta, Carlos Rogers, Tarell Brown, Nnamdi Asomugha, Tramaine Brock, Perrish Cox, Eric Reid, Donte Whitner, Craig Dahl, C.J. Spillman, Ray Ventrone, Phil Dawson, Andy Lee, Kevin McDermott.

Maybe resign Hawkins or Lockette, and Hampton - Trade or cut McCoy and ? - Speedy ends and running backs play well on kickoffs and punts. McCoy is ok - but maybe not good enough for 49ers and maybe not so good on a punt or kickoff.  

The Packers and 49ers, 2013 season opener is next  Sunday, and 49ers special teams need good coverage on punts and kickoffs. The 49ers offence and defence get tested by a revenge minded Pack attack. The forecast... Gore guts the packers from the pistol formation and Kaep finds open receivers from read option playbook as Packer safeties play run.

49ers win 40 to 24 :0)
