CFZ My Theory on Last Year's Loss to 9ers, Washing Off My McCarthy Resentment

[America's Cowboy]

The 49ers couldn't run it either. Purdy was under siege and the Cowboys completely neutralized Deebo Samuel. Lamb had more receiving yards than Kittle. This game was a very close game. Purdy actually couldn't do anything but at least he held his composure and kept trying and eventually made a few plays while Dak started looking panicked and was hesitant and made some mistakes. And that's not the first time Dak has looked like that (aka choking)

Let's see if what you said is true......

Hmm, sure doesn't look like what you said is anywhere close to being accurate.

The 49ers actually ran for well over 100 yards (you said they didn't) while the Cowboys struggled to barely rush for 76 yards. The 49ers were about equal in passing yards compared to the Cowboys (199 to 206). The 49ers had more total yards (312 to 282), more yards per play (5.0 to 4.7), more 1st downs (21 to 15), way better 3rd down efficiency, more total plays (63 to 60), allowed less sacks (1 to 2), equal amount of punts (4), much less penalties (3 to 7), lost 1 fumble, 0 INTs and had almost 6 minutes more of total time of possession.

Sounds like you were wrong on just about everything except for Dak's 2 INTs, but hey, let's be lazy and believe everything you said (even though statistically proven wrong) while just putting the blame on Dak for that loss.

He plays average and we win. That's it in a nutshell. He was off target all game. And Pollard had an awful game but when he went out we had nobody left but Lamb. Blame the offense but I will never blame the defense. They did enough to win. You can blame Jerry if you want for not getting Dak more help in the WR position. I complained about that last year and was told I was overreacting. Well guess what our WR's besides Lamb did suck. Jerry is going to be our downfall this year too. Hoping our RBs will be enough to open up the passing game...hoping our OL can stay solid even if Martin decides to stay out....playing very loose with the kicking game. As for Diggs, he should have made the interception but even if he did, it wouldn't have made a difference unless he brought it back for a TD. That offense wasn't doing anything.

wont bother reading ALL that, i disagree.,. Next narratives that are Soley opinion and cannot be proved.

man if we could have just had an offensive line or a run game that played average I mean if we could have just had another weapon besides CD land that would have just stepped up and did something besides nothing next year would have been nice oh and if Trayvon diggs wants to be a $21 million quarterback he has to make those two plays if this defense wants to be championship level and get their moniker like the doomsday defense they need to step up and take every opportunity...

So back to the winning and losing as a team and the coaches and the ones that only called 16 run plays and all that other nonsense we lost as a team it was not because of Prescott there were so many other things that are on that list you can keep doing that all you want.. I will not agree and I will never agree when I watch the game like everyone else kinda hard to even play average when nothing in front of you around you behind you or from the sideline is doing anything either..

The offensive line just simply needs to be better period they need to be more physical against the 49ers against the better defensive lines they get stood up pushed back they don't open holes they create problems for the offense and that's the problem.. One-dimensional football is one of the easiest things for a defense to defense.. They didn't need very much pass rush they use very little guys meaning they put a lot of guys in coverage it literally was able to stop the run and the pass with very little effort that's on the offensive line that's on the coaches and yes Prescott could have played better but don't say we would have won if because there's a whole big list of ifs..

Those two interceptions were brutal.

I see you're back to writing a book. Lol

the two things that stand out. the rushing yards, which leads directly to TOP. and how many penalties we had (drive killers).

Typical refusal to own what you said. Deuce is going to make the team. I would bet you $100, but you won't own it (pay up). You will find a way to twist from accountability.

Where did I said he wasn’t going to make the team? You’ve absolutely lost it if you think I have a post on this board claiming he isn’t going to make the team. I’ll bet you $500 you won’t find a post on this board with me saying he won’t make the team. I’ve been saying he’s going to make the team ever since we drafted him, because Jerry made too big a deal about drafting him for him not to make the team. When he makes the team you’ll continue to claim I said he wasn’t going to make the team. When he gets some carries at RB you’ll claim I said he wasn’t going to get any carries at RB. Regardless what I say you’ll claim I’m implying the opposite. You’re becoming a big waste of time.

He’ll make the team. They made far too big a deal drafting him for him not to make the team. Jerry will see to it.

 

[CowboyFrog]

My resentment still remains with a HC who won't assert himself 2 straight years when it's obvious his OC is struggling. Elbow the kid outta the way and show your SB winning pedigree for gosh sakes.
But anyhow, at least we will finally get to see if he can fix the poor decision making mechanism of his starting QB that the 2 previous playcallers were unable to overcome.
Proof will be in the pudding. Was it the play called or execution of said play?

I know already but it's gonna be fun to see it play out.

why could it not be both? Again calling good plays that dont fit the players you have is not good coaching.. good coaches scheme to the players they have, ego head coaches "Do what we do"- JG circa always

Also your "Bad desicion making" could count for 2022 not for any other year the QB played so there is that.

Now you're coming up with more excuses to cover up your double-speak. Typical.

 

[CowboyRoy]

My biggest gripe with McCarthy last year was not developing a relationship or incorporating himself into the offense along with Kellen Moore. Not sure if that was on McCarthy or if Moore had some perception-based hang ups over that. Also, game management, and clock management.

But, I think it became evident to him. And, essentially, looking from a hindsight perspective, trying to see from the viewpoint of someone with more foresight and true knowledge on the matter than I, I think he folded in order to take his chances with the dealer knowing he'd have a stacked hand next round.

So, the cards come out. Going by the number of cards, we added two more potential Aces in the offseason with Cooks and Gilmore.

That already makes you feel better about going into next year against that same classless 9ers squad. And you'll have more confidence. Not because your team couldn't beat them, but because you mucked up that last play call: the snap to Zeke, the lay up for Turp to get blown up so embarrassingly like that. I'm saying that because I've been laid up like that by noodle arms and es no bueno. Thanks Coach, McCarthy. Creative play for the win — as far as who gets the blame.

Anyway, that's my theory. I'm giving Mike the benefit of the doubt knowing he's there up close, dealing with it all, and I'm not. So, I can enjoy the season, win lose or draw. Personally, I'm not going to get caught up in the winning thing right now, and just take each game as it comes.

I also vow not to worry about which seed the team gets. Just get this one into the tournament.

So your blaming McCarthy for Moore's mistakes? That sounds like one of the most laughable takes I have heard.

Jones pushed Moore in MM, not the other way around.

The Niners were simply the BETTER team 2 years in a row and both were predictable. Especially when Pollard went down. Blame the Niners.

 

[NotForLong]

Diggs told H

Yup, he played like the “scared Dak’ we have seen occasionally……where his pocket awareness drops, gets skittish, becomes more inaccurate, and ends up throwing bad picks (like the seriously delayed out route or comeback throws he did a few times last year).

Him to

it was fun times watching the Dak fanboys when Cooper Rush was winning games and the Dak groupies were saying all Moore needs to do is run the same offense that they are doing with Rush and it’s a wrap…

Their excuses have become legendary

That was hilarious . . . Or they would Quote Dak when He would say "I am learning from Copper"

 

[jay94]

We have Cooks this year...

Yes, this thread was about losing to the niners the past 2 times, last year was due to lack of adequate weapons.

[birdwells1]

Not sure I agree with everything but you have to remember the Jones keep their thumb on the coaches. If Moore was forced on McCarthy, he certainly going to give Kellen enough rope to hang oneself.

Yep this is exactly what happened, there's no way a Super Bowl winning OC/HC wants to give the OC/play calling duties to an inexperienced KM. It was the terms of accepting the job so Mike just let him fall on his sword to show the Joneses that they were wrong, if at any time Mike would have involved himself then he would've gotten the blame. They why he said "if you install it you call it".

 

[birdwells1]

That was a key item, they could disturb our OL mainly with the front 4 , and KM ( & big Mac) couldn’t successfully game plan to counter that and move ball. The interceptions didnt help too.

Mike had nothing to do with the game planning.

 

[birdwells1]

But, but, but...I thought Dak did not have any weapons? Man, you can flop like a fish out of water!

The offense was setup to feast on mediocre defenses which Tampa Bay was but when you run into the SFs of the world it's a different story.

 

[birdwells1]

WE LOST THAT SF GAME IN THE OFFSEASON WITH SUBTRACTION BY SUBTRACTION AT THE WR POSITION!!!

 

[kskboys]

I’ll bet you $500 you can’t come up with a post where I said he won’t make the team. Let’s see the post!

You, sir, owe me $500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who, Terrance Copper? Why would he learn from a WR who didn't make it?
