+1

Injuries.

100% Bad front office decisions with free agency and draft picks.

front office for not assessing talent weather its in draft, or trades/free agents.
play calling for deviating away from a certain style when its working

1) Refusal to address secondary or O line. (Front office)
2) No speed in the secondary or at wide out. (Front office, coaching)
3) Missed draft picks. (Front office, coaching)
4) Over reliance on play action and system. (Coaching)
5) League has schemed up Shanahan's offense. (Coaching)
6) ZERO interior pass rush (Front office)
7) Trading Buckner. (Front office)
8) Team has lost confidence. (Coaching)
9) Injuries.
10) Arrogance. (Coaching)
11) TURNOVERS (Coaching)

Every bet the FO made they've lost on. Only one we have left is Lance and I'm not feeling too confident after watching Jimmy regress year after year after year.

But overall the FO has made bad decisions. Just about each decision they've made since the clock hit 0 after the SB has been off.

1 - Brandon Lloyd isn't getting separation.

2 - Too much Kevan Barlow. Let's give the new guy Frank Gore a chance

3 - Should probably have Rattay out there instead of Smith right now

The bottom line is coaching.

Our roster is better then the results even though there have been some dumb decisions there. Our secondaries and Oline needed better picks.

However, the defense is not where it was under Saleh though I would expect some adjustment time before declaring the DC is a dud. It has its moments of brilliance but still needs polishing in regard to defense play calling. It is hit and miss.

The offense play calling is off kilter and a lot of the offense are missing their assignments. This is on coaching. Why don't receivers or blockers know their routes properly? It has to be they are not putting the effort and not drilling them enough? They should be a well oiled machine but the machine is clunky.. Coaching coaching coaching.

It is too easy to blame the QB but I doubt even if Brady were hear we would be much better off. Put Trey in now and it will demonstrate the coaching problems.

Buck stops with Shanahan.

And Lynch.

Here is a list of WR that were on the 90 man roster (There seemed to be some excitement about it at the time)

Brandon Aiyuk
Deebo Samuel
Richie James Jr.
Jalen Hurd
Mohamed Sanu
Trent Sherfield
Travis Benjamin
River Cracraft
Bennie Fowler
Jauan Jennings
Austin Watkins Jr.
Kevin White
Andy Jones
Nsimba Webster

Here is a list of the current receivers:

Deebo Samuel - #1 receiver
Trent Sherfield - Disappeared from the offense - had a few highlights in preseason
Richie James IR
Brandon Aiyuk - Dog house, not the same receiver or used efficiently
Travis Benjamin - No where to be seen in the offense
Jalen Hurd IR - What else is new?
Mohamed Sanu Sr. - Hardly involved at all in the offense
Jauan Jennings - Demoted and inactive

Verdict: Looking at the list above, we basically have one wide receiver.

---------------------------------------

Tight Ends:

Charlie Woerner - Seemed to jump Dwelley on depth chart - 3 receptions in last two games
Ross Dwelley - Dwelley had one reception (two targets) for five yards in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Colts.
Tanner Hudson - Extra tight end body - unable to land a spot on the Buccaneers' 53-man roster
George Kittle IR

Verdict: We basically have only tight end as well as he is on IR.

-----------------------------------------

Running backs

Elijah Mitchell - 6th round pick who is currently starting

JaMycal Hasty - Should be used as a receiver because of size and quickness. Shanahan the genius puts him in at 3rd and 2 and runs him up in the middle
finishing with three carries for one yard and three receptions (six targets) for 15 yards

Trey Sermon - Was supposed to be future starting running back - Not even playing

Trenton Cannon - Not used in the running game

Verdict:We basically have only one running back right now.

-------------------------------------------------

Quarterbacks

Garappolo - Has regressed and limits the offense. Turnover prone. Without a healthy Kittle, he is no more than a backup QB.
Trey Lance - Injured. Too raw. Needs development. Can't trust throwing. Shanahan not bringing him along slowly - practically ruined his career with a knee injury like RGIII.
Nate Sudfeld - Who?

Verdict: We are in bad shape as far QB goes for the rest of this season. Before the season started everyone was excited to have both a healthy Garappolo and Lance as our QBs.

-------------------------------------------------

The offense clearly does not have the depth or speed to scare opposing defenses, and it is not soley on injuries - there are healthy bodies not being used. John Lynch has done a horrible job. The offensive line is not playing well also. Shanahan and coaching staff also do not seem to know to utilize or develop the personnel we have. How many draft picks since they on board are now another team playing better, or are busts?

It's depressing to think that Jerry Jones has drafted better than our front office.

Biggest problem is in OC not preparing the offense to execute and putting his players in bad positions. Blocking design has been very poor this year. OC seems to forget limitations of his players.

We traded 20 picks to be 2 -4 and last in the NFC West. Think about that.

Right. All of the above
