Great pass to Diggs. Vikings look solid.

Way too many TE's just running free for the 49ers.

Re: 2018 regular season thread
Line sucked. Gonna be an issue all season long. Game shouldn't have been that close.
D was f'ing fantastic against a pretty mediocre offense. Huge turnovers all game.

Re: 2018 regular season thread
I really didn't like the way the game ended. The last quarter the offense didn't do anything and the defense gave too many big plays in the 2nd half. The important thing is they got the win though, just keep getting better.

Re: 2018 regular season thread
lol, almost feel bad for the Packers. Almost.
Also, Mack is the real deal. Holy sh*t. Not gonna be fun dealing with him twice a year.

Re: 2018 regular season thread
team looked pretty good (in the first half)
offense packed it in for the 4th quarter which isn't ideal, like to be able to close people out
harrison smith just makes big plays
cousins looked sharp, makes some great throws, in sync with diggs and thielen. and a lot of dalvin cook which is nice to see

Re: 2018 regular season thread
I think right now the defense has 2 holes. We need one of Waynes/Hughes/Alexander to step up, we dont hear from Rhodes all game and that is pretty much expected now. But while ya Hughes had the pick 6, he also made a ton of mistakes. Waynes was getting picked on as well. We just need that 2nd CB to be solid and that will be huge. Also when we throw out 3 LBs, Gedeon is pretty weak out there. The majority of the game the other 9 guys on D make up for those 2 holes, but usually if there is a play made against our D, its usually happens against one of those 2 holes.
Offensively its the same weakness, bad O line play. I know its hard to do with bad O line play, but I would like to see a little more aggressive passing plays thrown in there more often.

Re: 2018 regular season thread
waynes has been solid, i think he got banged up and missed some time last game (and with alexander already out) that forced hughes to play more - and since it was his first game some mistakes were expected i think. i think the big key is keeping everyone healthy in the secondary - there is depth but they are young and it takes some time to get through the zimmer defensive back instructional course
yeah the linebackers got burned quite a bit with the tight ends last game, kittle was running wide open a lot

Re: 2018 regular season thread
I think Waynes is an above average 2nd corner. The big issue we had last week was letting the TE run free, I don't know who's responsibility that is, maybe it's a scheme issue but it could have cost us the game.

Re: 2018 regular season thread
Great start. Getting a punt blocked in the NFL is just inexcusable. Should never, ever happen.

Play calling on both sides of the ball has been so bland today.

Nope. Last drive was much, much better. No excuse letting them run roughshod.
