[QUOTE="757Niner, post: 429799, member: 6235"] If it wasn't for Alex, there would have been no NFC Championship game to play. Our 3rd down woes have been our Achilles Heel all year and it came back to bite us again yesterday. 90% is play-calling. Our offense isnt built to abandon the run and sit back in shotgun for 3 downs. We just dont have the firepower to pass on every down and that I will blame on Jimbaugh and Roman for those last two posessions under 5 mins went they got very predictable. Heavy sets, mutiple formations and playaction was working and they just completely went away from it when the clock got under 5 mins. Shotgun makes us easy to defend because we always max protect and we get too predictable with the route combinations. Go look at the Saints game.....same thing every third down. We go shotgun, we don't convert. WRs couldnt get off man coverage to save their life, they doubled VD, Walker looked rusty and a bit out of sync, what do you do on 3rd and 12? Alex played a good game, made throws when they were there to make, minus the one where K-10 got behind the defense. Those throws short in the flat where he threw at WRs feet I can live with. They would have been for very little gain, if any and I think that was Alex just throwing the ball away. We'll be fine. This was Alex's first year in the offense so he will only get better. We add some playmakers on the outside that secondaries must respect, it will open things up for VD and Walker underneath and we will be become a more balanced and dangerous team going foward. Im disappointed but far from angry. We had a great run and the best is yet to come. Should be a good off-season if your a Niner fan. [/QUOTE]
