But they’ve been on the field most of the second and third quarter chasing Murray around their tongues are going to be on the ground by the fourth quarter
Has an easy TD on last drive. Badly underthrows. Ugh.
1. Agree re: Jimmy G. He is an above average QB with mediocre feet;
2. Don't want to undermine Arizona's win today because Murray was (obviously) the difference in the game. BUT, once again, Kyle Shanahan blows a game and no one calls him on it (at least that I have heard in post-game chatter). It happened at the end of the 1H. You have two timeouts left and something like a minute left on the clock. You are deep in AZ's territory. You have to run the ball there. Burn clock or at least make AZ burn a timeout or two (all they had). Nope. Dude is in love with his pass play schemes and that ego once again reared its ugly head to overcome the smart play (see first Seahawks game last year in OT; also think he blew the 2nd and 5 call in the Super Bowl in Q4 - run the ball there . . . 3 times if necessary). But instead, Shanahan reverts to passes; incomplete; stopped clock; After the 'Niners' Chippie FG, AZ has just enough time to get into long FG range (burning both timeouts in the process) and score 3 points. NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED! It's so freaking basic; yet this guy has a blind spot for EOG and EOH clock management. He really needs a sanity check guy on the headsets.
3. In one sense, it's easy to see why Shanahan loves him some Shanahan. That first TD pass to Mostert was a thing of beauty in concept and execution. Worked perfectly.
4. The penalties just killed the 'Niners in the 2H, and the PI call was poor, and I didn't like the late hit call, either.
