I'm gonna just put this here, so apologies for the thread jack.
I had to watch a lousy online feed, cuz Giants here in NY, so maybe I missed some stuff, but here goes:
Tough loss.
Team just looked out-of-sync. I mean, how many times does Hauschka miss that? Just one of those day. Burn the film and move on.
O-line is still gimpy. Kearse was limping, Tate had to have his hand taped twice, I believe? Throws were still off tho, and I feel like they have Wilson reined in a bit. Dunno if they’re trying to protect him from hits or what, but he seems reluctant to run on some plays where it’s there for him. I feel like he’s looking to pass a second or two too long. Maybe he's trying to do too much? Let the game come to him - he's a natural.
I’ll take Maxy’s coverage on the TD every time. 9/10 that’s incomplete, if not picked. Floyd made a great play. Regardless, Maxwell has played so well I don’t know how you can sit him, even with Walt back.
I would’ve liked to see the pass rush get on Palmer with a bad wheel more than they did. 9 picks from the secondary in 2 weeks - I’m having trouble finding fault there. Even the announcers were questioning the PI on Sherman, but without the stupid PF that play probably doesn’t even happen. And Sherman probably has another pick if not for the offensive PI. That and the fumble-recovery-that-wasn't were huge in a game where possession was so important.
Rams are a concern with the way they rushed RW, but hopefully the line is better than it was last game. Maybe some more quick underneath stuff from the TEs to keep them honest?
I think the Niners will get all they can handle from the Cards this week. NO is a late game too, so nothing decided before game time.
Enjoy the holidays everyone!
Go ‘Hawks!
*That ball hit the ground. I can't believe that wasn't overturned. Not saying they would've won, but I'd have like to see them get the chance.
