Banks too. Without Trent and Banks, this OL is in big trouble. And you can misquote me out of context on that one.

Agree, and one reason is that if Kyle doen't have a credible run game - his play action efficency/crediblity goes down the drain. This offense becomes one dimensional and much easier to deal with.

Well without watching the snaps, and lacking the technical expertise (no criticisms there), what is your basis for saying they've really fallen off this season? It can't just be their results as a team I hope.

TBF, I saw a few more games last year but the indicator for me was that both Dallas and Detroit weekly moved between tier 3 and 1 d/t key injuries. And Philly had several injuries and never moved off #1. For weekly rankings, the best OL that week should be #1. And they clearly weren't the best every week. Maybe technically, overall but not weekly, IMHO.

Without home field advantage and the extra week off, we were done anyhow. At least we know early now

That Phili O line locked down that #1 seed.

The benchmark

I notice all these quotes come from the L streak period
my interpretation, and I believe it to be correct, is we are sunk without Trent

Had nothing to do with Trent

What da heck?

What don't you get? You can see my above edit

here I was thinking you were talking 49er football for once, and saying the L streak had nothing to do with Trent
yes I see your edit, more of the he said / she said in the OL thread, many moons ago style stuff..

That's right, I forgot your the same guy who's stance changes depending on which way the wind is blowing and likes to pretend he never said things when the nonsense hot takes don't pan out

There's a literal quote in the Wilks thread, during the L streak, where I kept the faith in Wilks,
I said that exact thing, that I wasn't about to change my stance on him, depending on which way the wind is blowing, lot of folks did, sad to say..
but here now again, we aren't talking 49er football so much, we are doing a schoolgirl style gossip, about who said what, when and where, and why..
I'm more into talking ball, than the gossip

Agree, on that. The Parking Lot is a great place for non-football gossip stuff.

Nobody changed a narrative. I've been very consistent across the board.

And aren't you the one who's been saying this is really a tier 4 OL mainly d/t the PP?

Lions are the future Super Bowl champs just accept it.

Nah, Lions have a tier 1 OL but not QB. Same with the Eagles. 3 teams with tier 2 OL's have tier 1 QB's. The formula of the past 7 years will not apply this year.

This is our year.

Outside of Trent and Banks, I'd love the Eagles right side and the Lions right side vs our right side.

Haha. Let's blame Paraag if we don't finally win it this year.

For me, Kyle Shanahan gets my blame!

And John. It's definitely a well documented team building strategy.

Will it be "good enough?" Let's hope so!

You just seem to be prepped to assign a future loss to the lack of having a dominant line. Similar to others who are waiting to jump on Kyle… or Brock.

I never changed my stance on where I believe the O line is ranked. I just don't believe you need a top 2 O line to win the SB. I believe you can win inspite of an average to below average O line. I believe QB and defense are far more important.

Yet you bet on us that it wasn't our year, remember your bet ? You have Philly and Det

I bet assuming there would be another tier 1 OL + QB combo like the previous 7 years (all Superbowl winners). That didn't happen this year. As far as I'm concerned, the formula did not work this year and I already lost the bet even if one of my 2 teams ends up going further.

It could be injuries causing the fluctuation of the OLine strength.

Jed York hired him. He's also won a lot of games and been successful. Ergo you can not criticize.

Agree with both, 49ers aren't an elite offensive line group like some of the legendary offensive lines of old, but they are plenty good. (Not great). McKivitz continued development in the playoffs and Trent's health is going to be key for a successful playoff season. Banks and Brendel can stay at the same level, but Burford has to improve. Feliciano is key here to plug in for Burford as depth in a playoff run. I'd love for the OLIne to continue to get better. They can, if they just stay healthy.

Yeah, the only concern is the pass protection when we/if we get off script. That's when the below average ability shows as we've seen.

We certainly run better to the right with Feliciano. But if a team can stuff the runs to the left, that too can expose some weaknesses (ripple effect).

That said, very few teams have got us off script and even in all of them, we still had a chance to win if not for the self-inflicted TO's and missed FG's.

With no teams in tier 1 for both QB & OL, we have as legit a shot as any team esp. upon rematch.

This should be our year! No excuses as this is the healthiest we've been the entire ShanaLynch regime AND have a first round bye!

If the OLine is healthy, even if the opposing defense is shutting our run down, that means the pass is available to Kyle to exploit. Now, if *injuries* have reduced the talent on our OLine and Kyle's offense becomes one dimensional, then of course - we shouldn't be favored in any rematch.

Health has been pretty good this year. But in 2020 - we lost Bosa, and in 2021/2022 we injured/lost our QB's. This year (knock on wood) health has been relatively good for our core players (so far.)

Smokey has cracked the code.

We're not, but that doesn't answer what is sub par and Purdy decisions throw INTs<<

I'm not the only one saying that.

A second factor is that the Niners are a decidedly left-handed team running the ball. The foundational concept of Shanahan's scheme is unpredictability. An investment in the right side of the line would restore balance to the force, they could run left or right with equal success.
https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/progress-and-barriers-on-the-49ers-quest-for-six
We do also run to the right, not as much but it's not 100%

but what is sub par?
Here you go.

adjective
great. so how would a below avg OL be able to win 12 games, lead the league in rushing, passing, have 4 1k yard players and 2 MVP candidates ?

also, how does a below avg line have better results than Tier 1 OLs ?

the math just doesn't add up

So you think the 49ers OLine played elite in the 49ers losses this season?
Does it have to be below avg or elite as the options to choose between ? that's pretty extreme

I've been saying we are towards the top in OL (not the best or elite) the last few years and QB play was the missing element.

one thing for sure is that we are not sub par.. unless par is being number 1 and not 16. We also can't have the offense production like have had with a below avg OL

Just my opinion, but you can't get to the super bowl if your OLine is subPar. There are too many elite passing defenses in the playoffs to survive the playoffs with a sub-par OLine. OLine has to be good or better to survive the playoffs and get to the big dance. Maybe QB or Defense *may* even it up if any *one* or all *three* are generational - but that's rare.
