@Undisciplined 49ers time of possession in the first half 5:29. They do get the ball coming out of the half but that is no guarantee of anything. I think they will avoid the which happens first but that would be hilarious and incredibly sad if they didn’t.
This is true. I would imagine Shanahan is going to try to cook something up to get the offense rolling on the drive out of half. Doesn’t mean it will work.
I wouldn’t get too excited about the Texans offense. The 49ers have absolutely no pass rush. They are down 5 defensive linemen and their 3 best pass rushers.
Texans are the best defense in the league. 49ers are not running the ball and the defense can’t get off the field because they are now down their top 5 defensive linemen.
This is the kind of dominant effort I expected from the Bills coming off the bye after a couple let down games. Reminds of the 2023 49ers losing 3 in a row then coming off the bye and completely boat racing the Jags.
I get we are down a ton of guys but this has been the worst coaching job by both Shanahan and Saleh this year. Soft zone against a struggling offense when you can’t get any pressure at all is just letting them chew clock and gain momentum. And Shanahan seems to have completely abandoned the idea of running the ball and instead is leaving Jones a sitting duck against the best D in league.
