@Undisciplined 49ers time of possession in the first half 5:29. They do get the ball coming out of the half but that is no guarantee of anything. I think they will avoid the which happens first but that would be hilarious and incredibly sad if they didn’t.
This is true. I would imagine Shanahan is going to try to cook something up to get the offense rolling on the drive out of half. Doesn’t mean it will work.
I wouldn’t get too excited about the Texans offense. The 49ers have absolutely no pass rush. They are down 5 defensive linemen and their 3 best pass rushers.
Texans are the best defense in the league. 49ers are not running the ball and the defense can’t get off the field because they are now down their top 5 defensive linemen.
They aren't playing, Eagles, rams and some other big teams but they have 2 matches with the Jaguars in the end that gives them advantage over others.
Let's see I'm long on them
I didn't know that. My analysis generally includes the current form + what the odds are suggesting - like who's shares jumped the most. And colts are looking great on both. But I believe you, you're an expert. Who do you think shall be no.1 in the AFC?
Chiefs have already lost 3 and might lose three more, if colts lose 4 more matches they will still be ahead. I think Bills may provide competition to the colts for the top spot.
Chiefs would probably have to come close to winning out to get the 1 seed because they likely won't have the tiebreakers with the early season conference losses, so it might be a bit of a long shot for them. They play Buffalo next week. That will be a big game to decide seeding. There are also the Patriots and Broncos who are playing well but I don't think either of those teams will hang on to compete for the top seed. Colts in the drivers seat for now but could be threatened by Bills most likely and Chiefs possibly if they keep dominating teams.
I get we are down a ton of guys but this has been the worst coaching job by both Shanahan and Saleh this year. Soft zone against a struggling offense when you can’t get any pressure at all is just letting them chew clock and gain momentum. And Shanahan seems to have completely abandoned the idea of running the ball and instead is leaving Jones a sitting duck against the best D in league.
Saleh is going to have to take some chances and blitz on earlier downs. Can’t get any pressure at all with 4. They were lucky to hold to them to a FG.
Need to force Stroud and these unproven receivers to beat you.
This is the kind of dominant effort I expected from the Bills coming off the bye after a couple let down games. Reminds of the 2023 49ers losing 3 in a row then coming off the bye and completely boat racing the Jags.
