Sad but true

Offenses and defenses are too different to make this comparison, IMO.

Defense is about harnessing talent and pointing it in the right direction. Goal of a defense is to create chao and disruption, and to be opportunistic.

Offenses are about rhythm, timing, precision. It's an orchestra. And it needs a top end conductor (QB) to truly bring all the instruments into harmony consistently enough to win year in and year out. Sometimes a team can get by with the community theater orchestra because their defense is so good, but it's rare.

Long winded excuse. Shanahan is a crap head coach and nothing more than a schemer who doesn't even adapt that scheme to maximize talent.

The only adaptations he does make are ones that get his starting QB killed (and his career in the process).

Remember when he called a shotgun delay with jimmy g after he snapped Lance's ankle? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

You are welcome to your opinion. Just don't come complain to me when the next HC sucks much more than Shanahan, because odds are he will.

Don't want Kyle canned but Sean Payton wouldn't fail on this team. One things for sure he'll run up the score and keep attacking

What's Payton's record without Brees?

In Payton's defense. He never had a defense like this.

Will he have Brees? Even Payton was limited on offense without his HoF QB last year.

I want Shanny to be more aggressive, too. Would being more aggressive with Jimmy G change the results? I doubt it

Point is not a damn coach is going to do anything with trash qbs let alone when you lose a first ballot hall of famer. Kyle doesn't have a qb and never did, when his play calling gets hot he wins in spite of Jimmy and when it gets cold it's beyond ugly. but credit to Jimmy he'll hit the play at times. We've won games because the d balls out and we make just enough plays. It sucks so bad Trey got hurt because I desperately wanted to see this offense as the season goes and Trey gets better. Trey could've even bailed out Kyle when he got better with his legs and extending plays that's what I was looking forward too. With Jimmy it's the same f**king s**t

every qb looks like a trash qb if playcalling has been found out. and ours has.

There's an alternate reality where Cousins has won two Super Bowls with the 49ers. A QB Shanny trusted to run his offense.

Kirk Cousins has had some of the best weapons in the NFL and is not anything special.

Cousins never had the defenses SF has had under Shanahan. Cousins with Kittle, Deebo, Aiyuk, etc. would have defenses backed up instead of stacking 8-9-10 in the box.

He's had some good ones, not sure what you're talking about Mike Zimmer is a defensive head coach.

We'd have at least 1 with Cousins. That dude can at least throw the ball 25 yards.

Don't know about that because Cousins is a complete different qb when he's not on national tv. But one things for sure on them day games at 1:00 or 4:00 there would've been plenty of games we put up 30 plus. I give that Cousins is the better qb but I just think Jimmy brings out the best of the team even tho he's trash physically. If they both fused we would've had one.

What's Payton's record without Brees?

Did Payton trade for Brees?

Did Kyle trade for Brady/Stafford/Rogers?

Is Kyle the GM?
Shanahan is the shot caller everybody knows that.

Wrong both are the problem.

Under Zimmer Cousins never had Kyle, is my point as well.

Cousins + Kyle + Niner defenses = more Niner wins 2018-present. That's the math I'm suggesting. More offensive points, less chances for the other team to stay in games.

Again, just conjecture. In retrospect I would have liked to see how this would have turned out. The offense would be scoring more points per game. That I'm pretty confident in.

Kirk is basically Jimmy g

Minnesota's defense really fell off after their 2017 season (their 13-3 NFC Championship season) and that's a huge reason why the Vikings haven't had the success they should have with the offensive talent they have.

And Zimmer was a huge reason why Diggs wanted (and got) a trade.

I'm sorry but Kyle needs to go. No ability to adapt, change game plans, put his team in a position to win. His offensive plays are getting old…same old s**t.

I'd rather go after a real innovator like Sean Peyton.

Right. Kyle's skills as a coach had not only most of our fans, but a ton of the media believing Jimmy was a good QB. Think about that. Had Jimmy not gotten surgery, we could have traded him for at least a 2nd round pick before the other team learned how bad Jimmy really is.

wrong. they're both the problem. neither looked good tonight.

Name me a coach that looks good with bad QB play? Belchick might go down as the greatest head coach ever. But since Brady left he has looked pretty average.
I lived in Seattle for years as a 49er fan and I always thought Seahawk fans were the dumbest fanbase

until today

anyone saying "Fire Kyle" should stop watching football, you ADD riddled f**king f****ts

Head coach responsibility Is to find himself a QB though, Isn't it? Six years as coach and we still don't have an answer at QB

Which is why Shanny's futire is tied to Lance. He needs Lance to ball out to at least Top 10 QB status by the end of the 2023 season.

Not even remotely close. Watch Cousins throw deep balls and then wash your mouth out with soap.

If you truly believed Kyle has been "figured" out then ok but that's bs respectfully. We have a competent qb tonight we have 3 tds at least and 2 of them are deep shots to Deebo. No d is scared of Jimmy and it's his book that's been figured out. S**t we don't have an idiot at qb who knows where he's stepping we win this game with only 10 pts. Kyle isn't perfect but I honestly believe it's Jimmy mostly stinking up the offense
