OrthoPTSD Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 AK was getting SO close on a number of plays, also had the sack that wasnt. How this team can do it without a pass rush is beyond me MarkMc44, bossFALCON™, arrogantBEAST and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snafu Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Caught a couple lucky breaks with some bad drops in the 3rd, but we really clamped up in the 4th. Did pretty good today, but gives the coaches some good film to use this week to make them better. papachaz, Diesel_Bird and Chitown2ATL_Falcon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzummo Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I know there are a lot of threads about Mariota, but the defense was awesome today. I’ve been very impressed with them this season. Gave up 14 and scored 7 of their own with the forced fumble returned for a TD. It seems like everybody forgot about that play. 3 turnovers!!! 2 picks with the FF noted above. Only 50 yards rushing for the 49ers? 3.1 yards per carry?!? Their longest run of the day was 9 yards.

ImElPresidente Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Defense did ok today nothing spectacular. Held them to 50 yards rushing but the 49ers don't really have a good run game this year anyway. No sacks, gave up basically 300 yards in the air. Offense definitely saved them today.

One of the ints happend with literally 8 seconds left in the 2nd quarter with a desperate heave, no sacks on a trash o-line. Even McGlinchey was out a couple of plays because of injury and not a single sack. Just imagine if Trent Williams the best LT in the NFL wasn't injured. If our offense didn't keep the ball away from them they would have put 500 yards on us easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their forced fumble and TD set the tone and put us up 14-0 in the 1st Q. 131 of their yards came in garbage time on their last 2 drives, while we were protecting a 14 point lead in the 4th quarter. They netted 0 on those 2 drives including a turnover on downs. 6 of their offensive drives were 5 plays or less. In comparison, we only had 2 drives with 5 or less plays. They were also 3/8 on 3rd and 0/1 on 4th downs. 2 of those 3rd down conversions were on the 2nd to last drive when we were in prevent D and up by 14. The 49ers were 1/7 on 3rd down before those last 2 drives. Your turn. SkerFalcon8710, ATL Fan in the DMV, MarkMc44 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry 21 first downs they didnt even need 3rd down, 2/3 in the redzone, I know we can play what ifs all day but this is not good defense. You can bring up the pretty little stats and we can debate all day but this is a bad defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made the 49ers one dimensional by taking the run away…and kept them from scoring after their second touchdown- 0(zero) points…that’s a pretty little stat that isn’t debatable.

I guess it would be one that's not like last in the league in pass yards given up and bottom 3 in total yards given up and that gets more than 1 sack in the past 3 games that's probably what I would consider a good defense.

Killing Floor Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The same offense we played today beat the Rams by 15 and the Hawks by 20. And they beat our rival Panthers by 22. I've been saying all year our D has kept us in a lot of close games. And when AJ and Hayward came out it wasn't that big of a deal, hardly noticed. Didn't get a sack today but 2 picks and a scoop and scoop and score. Can't wait to see how our guys measure up tomorrow in the media. Wilson had 25 yards on 7 carries, what more do you need? Sure, they scored and they made plays, Kittle and Samuel and Aiyuk had great games. D ruled this game. I love what I'm seeing from Pees' squad. I got kinda chastised last week for calling out the progress out D has made. This is what I've been saying. we had a good game offensively but our D owned the Niners.

Herr Doktor Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Overall, I will take a scrappy defense with a warriors heart any day. Still lacking the true kill in a sack master, but the team is playing together. That's good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave up the 8th least points in the NFL this week. Top 10 scoring defense qualifies as good in my book. Not great, as that would be top 5. But definitely good. Definitely a great improvement over last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
