Games 10/12/'14 - 49ers Play Tommorow

I believe teams especially the NFC West ones are getting used to dealing with the noise in Seattle and are going in with better plans to deal with it.

In the NFC Championship game last season I didn't feel the noise was a factor in it and it seemed like we dealt with it well.

I saw a lot of timeouts being taken due to clock management issues in the five games I watched(in fast forward). Everyone has them, not just us, but I always feel the reason we get ours is because of the same mistakes we haven't fixed (except these last two weeks at home). I don't know how often other teams specifically have this issue and when they do if it is from their same issue (slow QB, slow coach, slow relay, or too many changes at the line).

We had the same clock management issues with Alex Smith so I think it's part philosophy in that we want to take the clock down as low as possible all the time and part relay in that it seems we have a lot of information that goes from Roman, to Harbaugh, and finally to the QB and that leaves very little time to call the play out, get to the line, make all the adjustments and motions, and than finally snap the ball.

And since the QB isn't going to watch the clock every second as he does need to look at the defense to make pre snap reads you're just going to have to eat some TOs and delay of game penalties.

I think the time issues comes from the fact that they call 3 plays in the huddle and then change to the one they want once they read the defense.

I think there's more to it than that. Too often we're breaking the huddle with 7 seconds or less on the play clock.
