The offensive line isn't the biggest problem. The crappy ass QB is. The 49ers stacked the box. They did not respect our ability to pass the ball down the field at all. And we proved them right.
You were quoting me . lololI don't know that I was quoting you, perhaps I did, I'm too pissed to even consider it.
First off people need to quit with the OL. When the OL is facing up to 9 in the box on any given play due to the defense KNOWING they don't have to sweat a route past 10 yards it is a numbers game plain and simple. Had a bunch of friends over and we were counting the box by the third quarter, and more often than not the Rams ran right into 8 or 9, or passed when the box was light. It was very strange, as if the Niners knew what they were doing given down/distance/formation. Boras got his butt handed to him by the Niners DC, plain and simple. Then he failed to adjust.
Now that said the QB who is an extension of the OC can sometimes make the dude look bad. And Case did. I'm not even gonna waste my time on how bad Case was, that's how bad he was. But this IS where I am going to say once again what I said during camp, that there was only ONE QB I witnessed in practices who looked down field routinely and it was the rookie who got tarred and feathered for playing poorly in the face of bad protections in preseason. But, hey, he's not ready to play the kind of error-free ball Keenum provides, right? Oh and neither is Mannion?
And Tavon. Dude was fair catching punt returns with coverage team cushions that were very favorable... WTF? And of course his signature dropping of passes and leading this WR corps by example. Also potentially running wrong routes (or Case was missing by 5+ yards). Great thing we locked him up though, phew. Some rookie WRs need to be starting when they come available, that's all I can say with the wideouts.
In closing I said in chat that IF I were the owner I would have fired Fish at halftime. I meant it and still do. The dude just lost to a 1st year head coach in his 5th year, with the roster he and Snead have built. And they suck. Why in the F would you even entertain keeping this circus going at this point? Fire him for the love of F!!!
With a rookie like Goff we do..
Keenum threw for 130 and no TDs and 2 picks.
Their is no evidence Goff would be worse. Nada it's assumption nothing else.
Atleast with Goff their is hope.
And none of that is Keenum. He has a long storied history of going long. That's coaching and play calling. Stop scapegoating Keenum, give him a chance and a target and he will go long.
Wrong. We stacked the box and their QB made plays. Goff would not be any better..
Keenum threw for 130 and no TDs and 2 picks.

It is on Keenum, why not audible out? Why not go for the deeper routes when the blitz is coming? If he's the starter due to knowing the NFL, reading defenses and knowing the playbook then why didn't we see it? Playcalling sucks, sure, but how much of that is on Keenum? Why isn't he finding the free man on the blitz? I didn't see anything from him, and neither did the 49ers.
I gaurentee you put Rodgers, Brady, Manning as QB with the exact same plays called, and they respect them enough to not put 11 guys right there in the box.
Not a joke. Start, Goff we lose by 50. He is not ready.
Mannion would be better. Played in a Pro Set in college. Hey, let's put Goff in and see. I'm all for it. Proof will be in the pudding then, and it will end these discussions no? Put the kid in and watch him get killed .
Goff would be much better. Their QB didn't really make plays. We made stupid errors.
You'll see once Fisher grows a pair and plays Goff. Having a QB who can make big boy throws makes a world of difference.
We can get worse counselor.. lolol I hate to laugh but you get a rookie QB in behind this OL.. Oooooouch.. I'd go with Mannion to start. He's use to a pro set in college. Just saying. Time will tell.
Goff would be much better. Their QB didn't really make plays. We made stupid errors.

No sacks.Seriously, I have never been this embarrassed, ever. The Rams defense was a clown act and not just the suspect secondary, in fact, mostly not them. Run D was horrible. Pass rush was horrible. Did we even get a sack?
Goff is a kid. If you think a kid changes what you saw tonight, I just don't know what to say. We've seen Goff, he's no JFK.
