What's the story with DET's passing defense? I read they generate pressure on the QB but yet they aren't known as a good passing defense. Is it as simple as block up Hutchinson then pick apart their secondary?

They give up a lot of yards per attempt, but is it because they are leading in the game so they play soft zones and give up a bunch of underneath yards?

Goff's stats at Levi's.

What's your opinion on the team & coaching around Goff now compared to when he was on the Rams and played us? Better, same, or worse?

I think he is the same QB. You stop the run and get pressure with 4, he'll crumble. You can see a trend in that chart. The better our defense has gotten over the years the weaker his performances have been against us. Atleast when he is playing us at Levi's anyway.

I agree with this part of your statement but I worry that it will be hard to do. This team hasn't been good at stopping the run in games where they aren't way ahead. Detroit has a good 1-2 punch in the backfield. I'm also not confident that the 49ers front 4 can get a lot of pressure on Goff. They have one of the best O lines in the league.

He hasn't been bad on turf. Going back to last season he has completed 67.5% of his passes for 8.2 YPA with 4 TD passes and 3 INT's. 2 of those INT's came on the Monday night game against MIN. I am guessing the other INT was against CLE?

They were blitzing nickels and corners a lot yesterday. Tampa was horrible in picking those guys up. I think they even left Hutchinson unblocked twice.

Out of curiosity, what's that based on? I don't see a ton of turf games this season, but I think most were strong games even if we weren't pass heavy.

I'm seeing LA, Minny, Arizona, Seattle, and I think Philly is a hybrid. Rams was his 2nd game back and I'm assuming Minnesota weighs down his numbers. And doesn't LV have a natural turf that's rolled in? So the question of grass vs. turf looks to be a moot point in regard to the playoff run, right?

turf games don't matter anyways cause if we win this sunday, the super bowl will be on bermuda grass.

I just pulled up the stats from the espn under splits - grass vs turf. he's barely played on turf but he is like 2 td to 3 int - where on grass, hes like 29 touchdowns and 8 picks. a majority of our games were on grass this year.

Not sure why the 49ers didn't bring him in with Dwelley out.
