This, sadly.

Did Sutton throw for only 50 yards midway through the 3rd quarter? He might be a part of the problem but #11 IS the problem.

In general, this is true. And this team has been guilty of it.

However, people are using it as an excuse this week and it is total BS. The team had 10 days off to rest, and Rodgers came right out and ran over the defense. They averaged like 7 yards a carry in the first quarter. Monday night had zip to do with the defense being on the field too long. They just got manhandled. People are taking the blame off them just to bag on Alex Smith, who doesn't need any help at this point. The defense played poorly. Period. They aren't playing like a championship defense.

You can't give Rodgers 7 possessions at home in the first half. You just can't.

I don't think anyone (or at least me personally) is saying I don't like our defensive talent. I love it, but you combine 3 and outs consistently with a coach who apparently gives no opposing offense any sort of mental frustration, you get bumfucked. They all must be held accountable.

They scored TDs and cut through us like butter on two of their first three drives. It had zip to do with the defense being on the field too long. If our defense is gassed 5 minutes into the game after 10 days off we are sunk.

There is no chance for turnovers when the D is that predictable.

Not only were we in single high every snap, we also had a SAFETY playing corner

We haven't had coaches that could make half-time adjustments since the Vermeil years

how about rotating some zone coverage in?


how about changing ANYTHING


You can't do the same thing every down in the NFL, people are too good.


that goes for Andy Reid and Sutton, predictable as ****

LOL @ Buttons.

Yeah...I found this move curious. Parker at least has experience at corner. Throwing Branch out there on Cobb made no sense...and Rodgers exploited it.

Nobody brought this up in the pressers....it is really disappointing that Gaines is lost. I wanted to see Smith, Peters and Gaines on the field.

After the emergence of Peters, arguably the best corner trio in the league. Denver and NYJ also in that mix.

You know what irks my ass more than anything about playing a safety at CB, the fact that Abdullah is arguably our best pass defender at the position and he didn't get a shot to play CB before Branch. Not only that, he didn't see the field at all until late in the 4th. Just adds to Sutton's stupidity factor. I am not very convinced by this coaching staff, nor Alex Smith, that this team can go very far.

I would really like to know what sutton's rationale is for some of his defensive calls.

Would you like to know about one of the two base sets with a single high safety and strong side press (36 of every 37 plays), or that one where he blitzes two DBs from the back side (1 of every 37 plays)?

:D
