The defense last weekend really only got into trouble on the 2nd and 3rd drives of the game, when every first down play was resulting in 2nd and 2 or another first down. It's tough to execute a one dimensional offense (at least when you don't have Patrick Mahomes), and I think Spags is fine if the one dimension is on the ground and not giving up huge chunks and 3rd downs.

Patrick might need to use his legs more often. That has been a very effective way to beat teams who lock down the receivers in man coverage.

That's the biggest problem with Jackson. And he doesn't have a hose to fit the ball into tight windows but their offense isn't really designed around that (it's designed to avoid tight windows by virtue of teams having to respect his legs). But if you can get that pocket collapsing, he'll bring his eyes down a little sooner and start looking for an escape plan sooner than a lot of QBs. And because he's so dynamic, it can even get him in a little trouble as a runner when he's not decisive. He'll look to break into the open field as opposed to Allen who will just plow ahead and take what's there. Gonna need a couple 'sacks' where he gets himself going sideways as he's looking to find a running lane. Probably not going to get an int since he tends to tuck when the play's getting ugly but if we could force a ball out that would be nice as well. Defense may have to rely on bend but don't break, offense will have to get into the end zone 3 times. Gonna take 27+ to win this one, IMO. But ultimately if Patrick plays like he's played the last couple weeks, I think they'll manage that.

I'd argue CMC and even Tyreek were better candidates than any QB this year. And to be completely honest, my MVP would probably be Myles Garrett. For the Browns go to 11-6 with the issues they had at QB while ALSO losing their star RB is remarkable. They beat Baltimore at Baltimore with Deshaun Watson doing everything in his power to lose it for them. You have a RB that went for 2,000 all purpose yards, a WR that very easily could've and a DE that dragged his team to relevance. Any of those three are worthy candidates and in a year where there's no clear standout season at the QB position, it's a very good time to have thrown the REST of the league a bone...

Since 2000, there have been 4 league MVPs that were not QBs. 2012 was the last year a non QB won it. |

The whole damn offense appears to be a house of cards. When it's working, they all eat. But it seems to take all hands on deck for any of them to excel.

McCafrey should have won MVP. It's hard to imagine a RB having a better season in today's NFL. Tyreek was tracking the same for WR until his injury. It shouldn't necessarily be a QB every season. This season is a good example of that.
Also, I don't think Lamar was even the best QB in the league. Prescott had 12 more TD passes and threw only 2 more INTs than Lamar on 133 more attempts. Lamar had better rushing numbers but worse passing numbers. I'd give Prescott first team All-NFL this year at QB and McCafrey as MVP. |

IDK if anyone else noticed this but immediately after the 49ers won their game, the promo said "CMC has lead his team to the NFC Championship, watch it live on blah blah"
I thought it was funny |
