Who did Kyle even want?


Not sure if this has been posted here before. But this is crazy. Us and NE are so far above everyone else on defense and are only 1 of 4 teams with above average defense and offense.

In other news, this is why there needs to be an asterisk with all team rankings in regard to anyone who plays the Dolphins.....LOL That's F'n hilarious

I'm a little disappointed that we haven't been a better, more explosive offense under Shanahan. I expected the offense to carry the team this season and if the defense could be in the top 15, we'd have a good chance to go to the playoffs. Instead, it's the defense carrying the team while the offense is barely clinging to a top 15 ranking.

Offensively we are third in both Yards per game and Points per Game.....I don't know where you are getting this barely a top 15 ranking.

I'm going by the offensive efficiency metric in the chart that was posted.

Well we are currently averaging 29 ppg and 408 ypg which will usually place you firmly in the top 5 annually. What more do you want out of an offense other than gaining yards and scoring point?

Other stats

Yards per play - 10th
First Downs per game - 7th
3rd down % - 9th

huh? they're the 3rd overall offense in yards per game (408) and 3rd overall offense in points per game (29.4).

You really need to stop complaining so much

The offense been pretty good moving the ball. It's the miscues, turnovers, that could've given them more points and comfortable leads.

right? end of the day all that really matters in points per game and 29.4 per is 3rd overall in the league.

I also like to use DVOA from football outsiders...SF is currently having one of the best seasons (both offense/defense) in their history of tracking such data.

That's what even more crazy...this team isn't close to a finished product and is missing some very good starters.

They haven't peaked a all

Because of our defense. Our offensive DVOA is 12th. I don't know how you can complain about what I said and then refer to a statistic that supports what I'm saying.

The offense that Shanahan is using would have won the superbowl the year his Falcons lost to the Pats. To me he just learned from his mistake. Why risk it when you are winning, while it is not pretty or a high power offense, it puts up Ws which is all that matters. I would understand moaning about the offense if they were loosing games, but until than just kick back and enjoy the wins, it has been a long time since we 9r fans have seen them.
