Chiefs Any bright spots today? - Page 3

**TimBone** · 10-05-2014, 05:52 PM

I've got two, but that is absolutely it.

1. DAT has unbelieveable speed. When you're watching him run it's like you're watching a video where the rest of the players are at normal speed and he's been fast forwarded to move at x1.5. I hope that makes sense. He's gonna be a playmaker.

2. Hemingway finally getting some plays. I truly believe he has the best hands of all our receivers. Hopefully they lean on him a little more for 3rd downs.

Anything else? Please make me feel better, this was a tough one.

The best part is we are one step closer to a top five draft pick.

Same thing happened against the Broncos.

Thomas is nothing at all like McCluster other than size. He's like a supermccluster.

Allen Bailey seems to play very strong, but at the same time I think SF was running to his side a lot. I'm not sure what to make of that.

Joe Staley and Iupati are monsters in run blocking.

Hali likes to go outside on his pass rush, so SF ran it right at him.

He only got his sacks against Jonathon Martin. Houston still sucks /OldSchool.

A lot of bright spots. This wasn't a terrible loss by any stretch.

Offense looked good when the playcalling was balanced. Hell, we were in the game with a chance to get the ball with 4 minutes to over come a 5 point defecit until that stupid 12 men penalty gave them a first down.

This team is pretty good. Reid is a big reason they look like they can compete in any week, yet his playcalling can hold the team back. Alex Smith is limited, but we have the players to let him succeed. This may not be bea playoff team this year, but I think our losses will look more like today and Denver than that Titans abortion that started the season.

CoMoChief · 10-05-2014, 08:41 PM

Offensively the playcalling was balanced and looked good and in-sync the first few possesions. Then once they were done w/ their scripted plays it seemed as if everything went out the ****ing window and Reid was going to get creative. It's almost like Reid is playing Madden online w/ this team.

Interior pass rush from our Dline was great at times. Poe destroyed Boone (and I mean absolutely DESTROYED) on a couple of occassions. Their run defense was swish cheese today as it will be all season. It was pretty evident that our defense sorely missed Devito, DJ, Mays and Berry today.

And correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think SF had a sack on Alex Smith today. If that's true then kudos to Fisher and Co. This is a tough physical defense and for the most part the Oline held its own.

The Patriots are killing the only undefeated team left, so that should bump our RPI up a few spots.

Cooper might eventually learn to cover people?

Bright Spots:

1. We're exactly where we thought we would be at this point in the season.
2. Jamaal Charles looked good on minimal touches against a STRONG run D.
3. Offensive line, aside from one TERRIBLE game altering false start, looked improved again, though the Niners pass rush isn't "that" great.
4. Junior looked great today, I saw he almost blocked a punt in the game, was in the vicinity of that failed punt/touchback but elected to let gafford take the tap shot on it, probably was the right choice but I like seeing his hustle. He looked VERY good on the scripted game plays this week, I'd like to see us start working his plays in more than AJ Jenkins personally. Junior seems to be less flash with his moves and just gets the ball and turns upfield, we kinda need tha at times. Reminds me of a less talented Bowe, but with the same physical presence, just need to build his repetitions and confidence.
5. Allen Bailey and Dontari Poe were as disruptive as ever today, though I expected a little better from the run defense as a "whole" they were on point in the pass rush.
6. I'm liking Parker and Abdullah more and more each week. While they are just as liable for some of these busted plays as Cooper is, they seem to play a bit more "fired up" like cooper did in the beginning of last year. I don't hate on Cooper as bad as the Doomers are right now, and I'm honestly surprised OPI wasn't called on that touchdown, I just wish he would do what he does best and get in there with that receiver and get him off route then use his quickness to get turned around to defend the pass. He did that most of the season last year and was really excelling at it until he lost his confidence. I expect when Berry is back that we run Berry/Abdullah at Safeties, and possibly switch Parker to CB and use Cooper as a Nickel guy. I would also love to see Gaines more on defense with the way he's been covering on special teams. Guy has some legs and good awareness.
7. Alex probably had his worst game of the season today, though the numbers don't reflect it. We came out smoking hot and then just stalled after that. I think a large part of that is the team having to adjust to some of this personnel groupings and formations, but for the most part, he crushed it in those TRIPS-TE sets. I ****ing love that set, and god damn can we make that good if we had a legitimate 3rd tight end instead of that ****tard Demetrius Harris who couldn't catch a cold if he were exposed to Ebola.

49ers left guard Mike Iupati was on fire today. I haven't seen him that strong in run blocking in a while. He is good at run blocking and lousy in pass protection, but he was just moving piles in front of Gore today.

The fact that we won this game, we just handed it to them.
