NFL 2014 - 2015 Season Thread

49ers - Chiefs was pretty enjoyable. The O-line pass protected much better in the first half but then went to shit for half of the 3rd and 4th quarters. I still suspect it has to do with Martin since he came in around then. They have never really faltered in run blocking. I think Kaep makes it hard on them sometimes as well when he scrambles when he should just step up and get rid of the ball one way or the other. That sequence where they went backwards on 3 consecutive plays and nearly backed out of field goal range was just embarrassing but they did get it together somewhat on the last drive.

I think the difference in this game was the fake punt, KC's shitty penalty on 4th down, and Brandon Lloyd's circus catch. Without any of those plays it could have easily been a Chief's win. Also Phil Dawson making 2 50+ yard field goals look like he was kicking 30 yarders. I swear that last one was almost higher than the newly raised uprights and it was from 52 yards.

I felt a little bit sorry for Alex Smith on that last play. I didn't think he had a 80 yard 2 minute drive with not timeouts in him, but that had to be an embarrassing way to end the game at his homecoming.

THIS is why I was happy to hear that we got Brandon Lloyd back in the off season. He has never been a real #1 receiver, but he makes catches like this at least 4 times a season and has for his whole career.
