I figured the WRs would go nuts on Minnesota's shit CBs but I didn't reckon the pass rush would be so inert.

Be interesting to see how Zimmer counters. Offense needs to punch back.

Punched back! We may lose by a hundred but I've loved the resiliency out of this team all year. Let's see if Chef Mike cooks up some A Gap stuff now!

And Stefanski can't take advantage of their one bad CB.

Their D-Line has a significant advantage over Minnesota's O-Line.

I hope this is not the story of the game. Niners are making us throw and then winning in pass rush. We need to mix in some shotgun

Kendricks is a stud.  We need to get more shots on their corners to get Dalvin some more running room.

their passing plays generally get the ball out too quick for the pass rush to be a factor play to play. They're not asking Jimmy G to hold the ball like Kirk has had to. They've sputtered enough that the blitz is becoming a cat and mouse game; Jimmy misread a fairly simple look on the INT to Kendricks. He's not immune to it.

Our offense looks disgusting compared to theirs. We have the talent to override our playcalls, but man are they unimaginative. Our offense looks about as basic as one could be compared to theirs. It's not the run-first philosophy. It's the super basic passing game that surrounds it. One trick pony trying to lure the pass rush in to dump it over their head - it was covered easily against GB. That down field steam carries over into their pass rush situations. 

The only time we seem to run complex passing stuff is in obvious situations, i dunno...
