Perfect summation of the issues.
The D has to improve in these ways if they hope to make a deep playoff run.

5 questions with Niners Wire
By: Cameron DaSilva
To find out more about the 49ers, we chatted with Kyle Madson of Niners Wire to get a behind-the-scenes look at the team.
1. How different does the offense look with C.J. Beathard in place of Jimmy Garoppolo?
The offense looks the same schematically. They still lean on the run to set up their play action passing game. It’s a lot like the Rams’ offense but with worse players. Beathard has actually done a nice job conducting the offense, he’s just not as good as Garoppolo. He’s not as good of a decision maker, his release isn’t as quick and his arm isn’t as strong. All of those things shine through in ways that have adversely impacted San Francisco in each of Beathard’s three starts.
2. Who’s the most dangerous player on offense for the 49ers? Is it Matt Breida or someone else?
It’s probably Breida because of the volume of touches he gets. His ability to turn even a small crease into a 20-yard run is what’s helped make the 49ers so successful on offense. However, tight end George Kittle is hard to ignore. He’s averaging about four catches for 70 yards on seven targets per game.
He’s a tremendous blocker as well and has a ton of athleticism. He’s taken a screen pass 40 yards, and scored an 82-yard touchdown on a seam route this season. Kittle really does it all in the passing game. Pro Football Focus has him graded out as the third-best tight end in the league this season.
3. The 49ers have sunk assets into their defensive front in recent years, but how has it turned out?
Not great, Cam! Solomon Thomas (No. 3 pick in 2017) is not an effective player and playing just over half the snaps. Arik Armstead (No. 17 pick in 2015) has been mostly ineffective. Their inability to hurt offenses allows teams to focus on the 49ers’ best defensive lineman, DeForest Buckner (No. 7 pick in 2016), but he’s still managed to produce this season.
What they’re really lacking is pass rush off the edge. Neither Thomas nor Armstead can rush from the outside, and Buckner is at his best on the interior. They just have too many players who play the same position and aren’t particularly good in the scheme. That’s not an awesome recipe for success, FYI.
4. Is Richard Sherman still the same player he was with the Seahawks after that Achilles injury?
He isn’t the player he was in Seattle, but that doesn’t mean teams are eager to test him. Sherman was never a guy who relied on his athleticism, and now the little athleticism he had is dwindling. However, he is extremely smart and uses that to his advantage. Teams have targeted him only 10 times all year. He’s allowed two receptions for 28 yards in 204 coverage snaps, per PFF. It’s hard to be a lot better than that.
5. Prediction for Sunday’s game?
I think it goes a little bit like Monday night went. The 49ers will score a little bit to keep things interesting, but the Rams are just a better team and it’ll shine through. Whether they pull away due to turnovers or a couple defensive stops, the 49ers just don’t have the horses on either side of the ball to win in the shootout this is bound to become. Rams 41, 49ers 27

The 49ers will win/lose against the Rams if...
This either is going to be a fun game, or it’s going to be very, very ugly. You all knew this game was coming.
By Patrick Holloway
So it’s come to this. The Los Angeles Rams and a Jimmy Garoppolo-less 49ers team. The Rams had to happen, a game against the NFL’s elite was a must. Though we all may have liked it better if we had Jimmy G.
Nevertheless, it’s time for the 49ers to play one of the best teams in the NFC. The Minnesota Vikings have shown they have their issues, the Lions coughed up a win, and the 49ers managed to hold their own against the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s the elite of the 49ers opponents. Maybe we toss the Los Angeles Chargers into this.
The Rams are undefeated. And in the division. And the 49ers are without Jimmy Garoppolo. Do they have a chance? Well...
The 49ers will win if
If the Rams don’t get off the bus.
All jokes aside, this could be a fun game akin to last year’s Thursday Night Football game where Brian Hoyer looked like Tom Brady until the last few minutes where he remembered he was Brian Hoyer. The only way that happens is if C.J. Beathard can again forget he’s C.J. Beathard.
Beathard isn’t the only person, the 49ers pass catchers will also need to deliver and not have any of the bad drops we’ve come accustomed to. They managed to do pretty well against the Green Bay Packers en route to laying 30 points on them.
The Rams main threat on defense is their pass rush, so if the 49ers can establish a solid running game and buy Beathard enough time to just get some intermediate throws out—they might just win this. Well, unless...
The 49ers will lose if
They can’t get the running game going. At this point, I have no faith in the defense holding down the Rams, who have one of the top offensive lines in the league. My friends, if you put a paltry pass-rush on the best O-line, you know it’s not going to end well for one side. So the Rams are going to score. It’s a matter of how little they score.
This is where the running game comes in. Sure the Rams have an elite pass rush, but their run defense isn’t near as good. The 49ers need to kill the clock immediately and put the Rams on their heels with Matt Breida and co. If the 49ers can’t get the run game going to chew precious time up, they are dead in the water, because asking this defense to do anything game-saving is just asking for too much.
------------------
I think we're a lot better than we're being given credit for on the national level
But we’re not nearly as good as this year’s Rams. That said, divisional games are unpredictable and I’m not convinced there’s no chance we win this one.
-----------------
I am....
…..convinced there’s no chance we win this one
-----------------
There's only one way we will win.
If Todd Gurley and Andrew Whitworth both pull hammies on the first series of the game and miss the rest of it. Then we could actually win. Which still would kind of suck because then all 5 Rams fans could put their feeble minds together and come up with an excuse for losing.
Otherwise, I highly recommend going into this with extraordinarily low expectations, a fabulous sense of humor, and a hearty 4 hour supply of your favorite adult beverage.
Friends, we’re doomed.
---------------
Kupp is gimpy
Defensively the Rams are average. Corners are overrated and the D line is all interior with Donald and Suh. But to answer the question is we’ll win if we can establish the run game offensively then hit deep on a few play action and play bend but don’t break defense. Rams last 2 games went to the wire and could’ve gone either way they’re beatable for sure.

Too bad Kupp is out. I still think McVay will test Sherman. I can't see him hanging with Cooks unless he is holding and grabbing him, even with help over the top.

This video is 4 years old. How the mighty(only in their minds) have fallen!
Skye Sverdlin (@skyeattolah)
Finally a stat padding week. If at any point you feel bad for the Niners because they are missing Jimmy Interception, just watch this video and laugh.
Then burn the song onto a CD so you can throw it out of your car window on the freeway. These are the same Niner fans that were crowing after McVay gave them a free win when he benched his starters last year in Week 17. The Niners are deplorable, and are about to know how Chattanooga feels when they play Alabama.
Prediction: Rams win, 48-3

Thanks for posting that. I so much hate niner fans. If you go to that that site and pretend you are a niner fan and tell them they are wrong that LA is indeed a football town they will ban you . The reason I MYSELF hate niner fans is that is what i did once.I used the name mr montana and when i saw them posting BS that LA never supported their teams.
I used facts from the Bring the Rams back to LA site that the majority of their time in LA,other than in the 90's,they were always ranked in the top five in league attendance and then when i mentioned facts that more and more people were turning out at Disneyland wearing Ram jerseys all the time,the mod there said-stop it with this foolishness.
When I kept posting pesky facts they could not refute,they then banned me. LOL what maturity.LOL
they like to bag on LA saying they never support their football teams,oh my the Irony,Like SANTA CLARA. DOES? give me a break.lol.
thats another example of how the NFL owners are screwing up the league with relocations because to their credit,when they were in SF,the fans there supported them thick and thin even when they were horrible for so long,but with the move to SC,the blue collar workers have been priced out and cannot afford the tickets and they were the most dedicated fans so they are suffering for it with turnouts like this.LOL
That fool Jed York did not get it that the niner fans did not want to venture outside the city to go see them especially when they made the stadium feel like a corporation experience instead of a game day family experience. the NFL is really hurting themselves and shooting themselves in the foot with all these BS relocations putting shiny new stadiums ahead of history.
they usually turn out and have good crowds for the Ram games there because they appreciate having that california rivalry back,but thats about it.LOL

Sean McVay has done nothing. He copies Kyle Shanahan.
----------------------------------------------------------------
What has McVay done in the NFL? He took Kirk Cousins and made him and the Redskins offense into a juggernaut. They went from bottom half of the league in 2014 to #3 in total offense in 2016. Then he took a guy labeled a complete bust in Jared Goff, and made him into a Pro Bowl quarterback in 1 offseason. Now Goff is an MVP candidate.
He took a young struggling star in Todd Gurley, and helped him become the undisputed #1 back in the league and offensive player of the year. He took one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL, made the right personnel changes and they became a top 5 unit last year, and the #1 unit this year. He took Robert Woods, a castoff from Buffalo with no future, and turned him into a star.
He made Los Angeles one of the top free agent destinations. That's why Suh took less to come to LA. That's why Talib chose us as one of the only 2 places he wanted to go. He revitalized the NFL in Los Angeles. It's our turn to be the top dogs in the west, and as long as McVay stays, we stay at the top.
-------------------
Good luck with the Top 5 draft pick 49ers. Yeah McVay took a team that was last in scoring to first in scoring the next season. THE ONLY COACH TO EVER DO THAT IN NFL HISTORY.
---------------
So you agree Mcvay is only good when he has a Great roster lmao!!! Exactly!!! #Overrated
--------------
Dam the niners been so bad that this guy loosing his mind
--------------
Man this guy has a point shanahan has made 49ers a competitor team with hardly any elite players and some nobody’s while the rams coach literary spend stupid money on corners that literally are not on their prime no more
--------------
SAME OLE SORRY ASS RAMS!
--------------
In the words of Fred Sanford..."You Big Dummy"!!!
----------------
A bought & paid for roster is what the rams have right now that is why they are winning as of this point. If the Rams had to deal with all of the injuries that we have been dealing with these past two years. Would they be as good as they are now?. But as of now they are the best team in the NFL & we are at the bottom but it won’t be like that forever
--------------
Lmao this video is a joke. Your arguments are trash and obviously biased. “Head to head stats” 54 points to 73 and 690 yards to 907. Week 17 2017 game the Rams didn’t start any starters. But good job using those stats as “proof” Shanahan is a better coach head to head. Only stats that matter are wins and losses. Mcvay is 17-5 as the head coach after 22 games. Shanahan is 7-15. Put those stats up.
Mcvay was coach of the year 2017. Put those stats up. He took a dead last place team and made them first in the division in 1 year. You can say whatever you want about the rams bringing in talent, but what did the 49ers do? Didnt they sign garappolo to a 5 year 100+ million contract last year in hopes he could save your worthless franchise? Went out and spent a fortune on Richard Sherman? Jerick Mckinnon?
Sounds like the only copy cat coach around here is Shanahan. 49ers are trash #facts. Last place in the division #facts. McVay is recognized around the league as the best new coach in football #FACTS. Get your #FACTS straight. Yall are garbage and you’re a hater. #Facts.
Only thing i can respect from you is your passion and love for your team. But when you speak nonsense and biased “facts” about the Rams when they’re whoopin everyones ass in the NFL, you lose credibility. Go Rams!

I guess we found where the one or two remaining diehard 49ers fans are. Unfortunately, they seem to be braindead.

First it was because of Sean McVay, now it’s because of our roster talent? But isn’t he the reason our offense is good? Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

It's kinda weird, isn't it? Every game is stressful. It's like you're only as good as your last game, or something like that.
The most stressed out moments, ever as a Rams fan, has to be the last two minutes of the Titans super bowl. I don't know how us Rams fans lived through it. I thought I was gonna die like 5x during that last Titans drive. But, when the Rams won, whew, biggest stress relief ever. In fact, that was more stressfull than trying to last more than two minutes when riding the wife!
