Timid and weak game plan by Shanahan today.
He didn't allow Lance to throw much when the weather conditions were bad but not impossible (as it was in 4th quarter). He said "we felt like we were in control when it was 10-0," demonstrating a total lack of respect for the Bears and Fields that fed the passive approach on offense. But the defensive penalties were really, really bad.
Shanahan thought he could grind out a victory relying on a strong defense and run game, and basically not use the QB much. The Bears took away the run and the defense gave away enough (two completely lost WRs for 2 TDs) to put the offense in obvious passing situations in bad weather.
Lance was not the biggest problem or the reason the Niners lost. Deebo Samuel had one catch for 6 yards. Though he ran the ball well, you need more from your All Pro WR.
Was hoping to be able to make an assessment of the team after one game, but can't. The timid game plan, abnormally high number of defensive penalties, and the awful weather conditions haven't answered any questions for me. I'll reserve judgement until after the Seattle game. When is last time Niners lost a game they ran for 176 yards?
