Eerily reminiscent of how their 2014-2017 secondary used to play. That "15yds & in" method where they try to keep everything in front of them.

Truly astounding that they keep thinking that will work when it never does.

They made Purdy look like Montana, was pitch and catch, guys wide open.....Minkah needs to cheat up in the middle a bit.....getting to spots way too late.....

George can be a superstar. But his maturity is an issue. He takes plays off, and he absolutely was giving 20% effort on that free-play bomb. If he actually tried on that play it's an easy big gain. He also needs to be focused and fed in this offense.
The vets better be in his ear. This team should have a zero tolerance policy for diva antics anymore. AB, Claypool, etc. Not at all interested in catering to immaturity. The players had every right to be frustrated, but you can't take it to the lengths that Pickens did to create unnecessary drama.
Part of it was the field, it was torn up and slippy as fuck. Maybe they had shit cleats on. The 9ers didn't have the same kind of issues. Pat Pete was abused for sure. He had too good of a career and too good of a season last year for me to call for his head. Levi on the other hand.... Let the Porter experiment being, please.
Never been a fan when they schedule home games for both Pitt & the Steelers on the same weekend.

Wallace was just awful out there. Petterson wasn't great but that second TD catch not sure there was anything else he could do.
What pissed me off seeing that TD catch vs Matt Canada did NONE of that with Pickens and the only time they tried the pass was OB but he still made a great play.

Yeah the field was shit, but both teams played on the same field. And if you are the home team less prepared to play on your field...shame on you and your coaching staff.

@FaCe-LeE-uS that first drive my worst fears about Canada reverting to the same old crap game true. :L
Yep... We kept talkin about it... I was guessing what we watched in the preseason was a product of vanilla playcalling and just letting the young dudes go out and have fun. Now we are seein Canada's ego controlling the plays. Mickey mouse football.

This was bothering the f*ck outta me for real... Not just this play, but many others as well. Route concepts just don't make any sense on possession downs. Always having guys short or too long of the sticks, but rarely right on them.

Atrocious... Doesn't even make sense how they acquired better talent and somehow got worse.

Another puzzling downgrade. Like SB said above, he had a good year last year so I don't understand why he suddenly looks like ass. Hard not to look at coaching as the problem.

The Matt Canada Effect

Whether KP hits some of those longer throws or not, it's still troubling to see this offense primarily attacking the short window AGAIN

Montravious Adams whole reason for being is he's fat and hard to move. That's the only reason he's on the roster and playing. And he can't do that.

This is all just 1 game, against what might be the most most complete and best team in the league. But terrible showings across the board.

My hangup with Adams is we watched him get blown off the ball on run plays throughout the preseason in at least 2 of the games and the problem continues into the season... And that was against worse competition. Obviously these coaches see more of him than the casual observer, but its really becoming more & more difficult to justify his existence.

He was billed as an anchor with pass-rush upside... Fehoko could anchor but didn't have pass-rush upside. At this point, just give me the anchor when this front can't stop a nose bleed
