Stafford wasn't that good himself. He threw an errant psss that was Intercepted by Ward, then threw another one up for grabs later on, the one that was dropped by Tarrt. Fwiw. It's not really about the outcome of those games. It's more about the lack of production from the offense through the 4th Q of those games. There's literally no excuse not to be gaining a single yard on offense with 12 mins remaining. It doesn't help when you forget how to utilise one of the best players ( Deebo ) in the league either.
Stafford was 31/45 for 331 yards and 2 TDs and 1 INT. He led the team to 13 points in the 4th quarter. I think 49er fans would love those stats from Jimmy.
Exactly! Sure, Kyle could have called Deebo's number for a screen pass or run up the middle or something quick to get him involved. However, its not like Deebo couldn't have made a play if he was actually targeted on the typical pass plays that were called late in the game.
After re-watching the game. It would seem Kyle once again went away from what was working. We all know by now that Deebo Is at his best when you get him the ball with those quick hitters. Let him do the rest.. for whatever reason, Kyle stopped that In the 4th Q.
Ps. That 3rd and 2 run up the middle with Juice, followed by punting the ball was the bad version of Kyle. The momentum was In favour of the Rams after that.
Yup. The typical hindsight. He should have ran it when he passed it and he should have passed it when he ran it. The idea that Kyle is at fault when the passes were there to be made but the QB refused to pull the trigger is what bothers me the most.
The O line did a good job in pass pro up until the last 2 drives of the game. Even on those last 2 drives Kyle schemed guys open on short, quick throws though. Take a look at the, I believe it was the 2nd to last offensive play, where Kittle faked a pass block and was wide open in the flat for like15 yards of green grass in front of him and Jimmy didn't even look his way. Instead he was late on the throw to the rb and ended up being an incomplete pass.
I've been told that the Rams we're selling out to stop the run, because they had no fear of Jimmy beating them with his arm. So why would you take juice and expect him to pick up a first down on 3rd and 2? Then follow that with a punt. That's be conservative Imo. We had Deebo and Mitchell, but Kyle got cute again and killed the momentum.
whatever you say. Facts are facts.
