Date: Oct. 2, 1994 Niners lose to eagles 40-8

Margin: 32 points

What happened: Steve Young passed for fewer than 100 yards and was intercepted twice, part of three San Francisco turnovers. The Eagles played turnover-free football and outgained the 49ers 437 yards to 189.

How it ended: After the loss dropped them to 3-2, the Niners won 10 in a row to secure the top seed in the NFC before losing the regular-season finale to the Vikings after they pulled some starters. Young recovered to win his second MVP. He threw a record six TD passes in Super Bowl XXIX as the 49ers beat the Chargers 49-26.
..thats nice. But thats another time and generation. ;)..

We all knew this would be a real battle to even make the playoffs before the season began.
Jerry and Steven had the CAP space and the draft, yet they did probably the worst roster creation since they’ve owned the team.
This isn’t the worst team they’ve had, but considering what they had and what they needed, they didn’t even try. Turpin is our only speed threat. We have 1 top receiver and a bunch of guys, possession types at best. None of the current receivers block. We have no threat at RB even when the blocking comes around. We brought in one veteran LB capable of playing in the middle, and he’s injured. They ignored the flawed DT position.

We will win games because of Dak, Lamb, Ferguson, and coaching. Dont laugh; name me a coach that could compete at a high level with a team that cannot stop the run and cannot muster a running game of their own. Add to that the 4 injuries at DE, the so called #2 receiver, the MLB and his backup, the rookie LT, the veteran LT/LG, and the starting CB.

No one should be surprised. We ran the ball 17 times for 53 yards and passed the ball 44 times. The ratio was even worse when the game mattered. The Lions ran the ball 36 times for 184 yards and only passed when they wanted to, 27 times.

What the Lions have with playaction, playmakers who are real RBs, and an OL that excels in run blocking not only makes it so much easier to play offense and so hard to defend them, but it is the exact opposite of what we have.

The Cowboys have a young, developing and struggling OL, no RB with any speed or real power, no threat to make a big play receiving, and a serious lack of speed or quickness at receiver. Our offense has Dak and Lamb….period. It doesn’t matter how the two of them play, good or bad, the offense cannot play against a good team that abuses the defense because they are just as limited by being one dimensional. The Lions knew we had to pass every down. They had no respect for our run game even in the first series. That meant our QB and receivers had even less time to run a route or make a play.

Any offense that cannot run the ball is fatally flawed. Any defense that doesn’t have the personnel to stop the run is fatally flawed.

This is all true
But I don’t think our coaching is that good either

Do you really think this team in ANY WAY resembles the 1994 Niners?
