I wonder how much Dee Ford can contribute..........Look at this snap count before his injury. I would say the loss of D.J. Jones is more painful than Ford. It's clear we don't have interior pressure any longer while there are still plenty of edge rush.

With less edge pressure has come more double teams inside.

One thing that was working in the first half of last night's game was the pre-snap threat of blitz pressure. It forced more one-on-one blocking by the Sea OL which resulted in more pressure. Why Saleh went away from that in the second half is

In viewing the replay, I counted at least eight blitzes in the first half.
Results:
4 incompletions
2 catches
1 run
1 false start

Did somebody count the blitzes in the second half?

Just took a look at the 2nd half and saw 9 blitzes. 5 of them were on the final drive.
Results:
4 incompletions
3 completions for 26 yds
1 scramble
1 holding

I'm guessing the play counts between the first and second half's are much different, that's the blitz percentage?

Quick count it looks like:
1st half: 15 pass plays (53% blitz)
2nd half: 36 pass plays (25% blitz)

Thanks to a49er.

I counted 25 defensive plays in 1st half, therefore there were 50 defensive plays in 2nd half (total 75)
Percentage of blitzes
1st half: 32%
2nd half: 18% (more than half in the final drive)

4 of the 5 "best of 2019" games on NFL Network are the Niners.

#1 @Saints
#2 @Seahawks
#3 Seahawks
#5 @Ravens

I've been a fan for over 50 years and it's hard to think of a regular season that was as exciting and entertaining as this one has been. This season had everything: defensive masterpieces, shoot-outs, incredibly memorable plays, six or seven nail-biters, comfortable blow-outs and, best of all, success. Very happy old Niner fan here. A great offensive-minded HC, tremendous players, a QB with a top-ten QB rating and almost 4,000 yards, a GM who knows what he's doing and tenacious D. This could be another great decade coming up.

Yes, been a fan since the early 80's(when I was 7) and this has to be the best and most exciting regular season I can remember. I did not appreciate all the great seasons they had in the 80's and 90's cause I was a kid and then just expected them to win.
This season seems better then the few good Harbaugh years. The team seems like they just like each other more then the Harbaugh team did. I'm sure it has a lot to do with Lynch and Shanahan and the way they built the team.
Very excited about this playoff and future!

The 49ers have so many weapons, Kittle, Sanders, Samuels, Mostert, Juszczyk. No team can match them and Coach Shanahan is bringing out his bag of tricks in full view. I have the distinct feeling the best is yet to come.
