To be fair, the Panthers are a bad matchup for the Niners. Their front 7 is bad ass and the o-line is our weak spot. It was an ugly, sloppy game and the score would have been worse if Cam Newton wasn't playing like dogshit but you can't really expect anything else in the first game of a team that was basically built from scratch in the off season including the coach and GM. Anyway, we still need a quarterback so there's no sense in winning too many games this year. On the plus side, Hyde looked great, as did Foster. I hope Foster's injury isn't serious.
Probably in for another ugly game in week 2.

Yea great week unless you drafted David Johnson. It's basically a lost season unless he comes back healthy as an ox in like week 10 and dominates the rest of the way.
I guess injury is just part of the game. It's never going away and someone always gets hurt you don't want to.

I think it was the amount of penalties and silly mistakes I found more irritating. However, I do have to remember it is a brand new head coach and a ton of young players. I am hopeful they will get it cleaned up.
But the offensive line, while I knew would be a weak spot, was worse than I expected. To your point though, the Panthers D Line is awesome. So I expect next week at Seattle to be even worse
Oh, and LOL at Marshawn. Never change!

At least Seattle's O-line also sucks so maybe it will be a low scoring game and we'll get to watch Wilson running for his life.

Thanks bro. I was right, but he wasn't doing a very good job of blocking them both. It was just enough. I wonder if someone fucked up or if they were counting on getting it out quickly enough.
I remember seeing a profile on an eagles lineman (boom boom or bam bam?) who they counted on to block 2 people at once. What he'd do is knock one to the ground, then knock the second one to the ground. About that time the first one would be back up and he'd knock him down again. I was kinda hoping that was what tyron was doing.

I don't how you can say he was blocking two dudes. He was totally not blocking the top guy (a hand out, barely touching, is not blocking) and he only partially blocked the bottom guy. It was more like a half block in total. The O-Line blocked wrong for the way pressure was coming and there was no RB to pick it up.

Once again requesting @Amod to make the thread title include more Romo
Tony Romo isn't just better than Phil Simms. He's a really good broadcaster period

While I love him for being the reason Simms isn't on anymore, it's a low bar to be better than him at broadcasting.

Well first of all I said he wasn't doing it well. Second, he got just enough of a hand on him to keep dak safe. The chip that witten laid on him that made him stumble was more important, but you can see he slowed down and leapt because of that hand. He probably expected that tyron was about to switch to blocking him.
I think you're right that the RB was supposed to pick him up. The RB and guard on the other side were unoccupied. One of them clearly should have picked one of them up. I thought that since that was a safety and they had 3 receivers over there with 1 guy left to cover them (that we can see in the clip), maybe they were supposed to go to a hot read and throw right behind him.
