I can't believe the overreaction freakout to the Niners and Eagles losing one game, barely.
The Athletic put the Dolphins #1 in its power rankings, seemingly forgetting the 5-24 combined record of the opponents they have beaten, and the fact they got walloped by the only team they have played with a winning record, at now 4-2 Buffalo.
I would like to see Shanahan go to more 4 WR sets (even with Kittle as one of the WRs) and let Purdy "process" when teams are putting 8 in the box and having success stopping the run.
Even so, Shanahan had to be a little confused given the Niners basically ran the ball down the Browns' throats on the first drive with the same D that later stymied them. I mean if it worked the first drive, why change the approach, and if they continue stopping it...
The classic coaching dilemma. When do you change what you do that has worked before, when it isn't working in the here and now?
