I agree with pretty much all of this. Their secondary has actually been suspect for a couple years now but their pass rush was so damn good it covered for it. It is pretty obvious that the 4 man rush isn't going to cut it with Bowman and A. Smith out and unless they embrace the blitz their secondary is going to be abused. I said the offense was going to need to carry the team till those two got back and nothing in the first two weeks has made me believe they are capable of doing that. With the way Chicago was stacking the box against the run the Niners should have been able to abuse the fuck out of some deep routes but never were able to.Maybe. I have never been outspoken about Kaepernick one way or another, and figured this would be the year to show if he is legit or all hype. I am now accepting that he is a sub par QB who is super athletic and can throw the ball like a rocket. He makes terrible decisions and still looks extremely uncomfortable in the pocket if there is any type of pressure on him. This is the exact same shit that has been going on for 2+ seasons, and if he isn't over his jittery feet now, I just don't see it happening.
The defense is not whole, and they won't be for a while. The secondary is looking pretty exploitable, and that was evident tonight. I just don't know how well they will do over the next 6 games until they get everyone back.
Maybe I am overreacting, and maybe not. I just find it easier as a fan to temper my expectations and try to be a bit more realistic about our outlook. I had really high hopes before the off-season and pre-season. Now I am officially worried.
Hey man, I was definitely a life long Chargers fan today. Could you guys beat the 49ers for us too? We'll beat Denver and KC for you. Thanks!I am sad no life long Chargers fans showed up today!
