Isn't it obvious. He asked him to pass. If he had been injured running then that would be the reason. People that are sick of Shanahan are nuts. I'm more sick of fans that are clueless and try to blame the coach, the refs or the owner every time they lose. Sometimes it's just bad breaks. Sometimes it's poor decisions by the players. Today it was a little of both. I didn't see one penalty that was a terrible call. One or two might have been close but hitting the QB out of bounds and grabbing receivers right in front of the ref is stupid. The roughing the kicker penalty was desperation trying to block the punt and make something happen. Just not out day.
Its a tough pill to swallow, I just hope they go all in this offseason to fortify the roster, improve the OL, secondary and DL, hopefully draft well and bring more impact young talent on to the roster and get rolling next season.
The sad thing is there really is not much the team can do to be much better talent wise.we can argue maybe getting better linemen but the blocking was already way better than expected.
You could argue we need a slot receiver who can run routes but really the team is more likely to decline than get better.
It's mostly we need a coach that knows that you can't run a lot of play actions on a team with 70 sacks. Or that your offense is too complex for a non genius QB to execute.
The problem imo is not the talent...
