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.

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)
