10 thoughts | 49ers vs Buccaneers

Might post this after every 49ers game going forward, but we'll see.

Honestly, this is the most cardiac arrest worthy game I've seen of the 49ers in a while. It was a hell of a ride and I hated it, but I'm getting ready for the next one as we speak 'cause I don't play about my boys. There are a lot of things I thought as the game was happening and after it, and I wanna share some of them. I'm gonna try and make this as short as possible, so let's get to it.

1. Jake Moody needs to go

I kept repeating this to myself after the game was over. He did awful yesterday, so awful I didn't even wanna see his face on my screen and was ready to look away when they set him up for the last FG of the game. It didn't help that Jake was really not that good in his rookie year, so in my mind I kept going back to that, and just thought “they need to leave this kid in Tampa, along with Brian Schneider”. But, after calming down and giving it some thought, I think that it's important to take into consideration that he just got back from an injury. Yes, year 1 was bad, but in year 2 he has only missed 1 FG in 8 games. He was doing pretty darn good up until yesterday.

Some people believe that kickers aren't mean to be developed; you're not supposed to have too much patience with them, and I agree. But this time around, I will show him mercy because he has been great this year, with the exception of yesterday. If he does go, I'll get it, but if he doesn't, I'll also understand. I am still shaken by his missed FGs, and those are unacceptable, but I can also applaud him for barely making it in the end. Both things can be true.

2. Redzone bs

This team used to be so good in the redzone, especially with CMC, but even before him they were good. Idk what's going on, but it needs to be fixed, stat. I heard someone on the Domonique Foxworth podcast say that their redzone issues could be because they have not had their offensive weapons playing weekly and consistently; there's always a key player from the offense missing every week or almost every week, so it makes it harder to scheme when you're constantly missing players. I feel like that makes sense, it gives me some sense of relief because otherwise, I'd be pretty worried. I don't know much about scheming and playcalling, I won't pretend I do, so when it comes to that topic I'm always relying on what others say, and seeing people say so many negative things just had me constantly wondering what the hell is going on, but I guess that explanation makes some sense.

3. Hire an Offensive Coordinator

Like I said, not an expert by any means, but Kyle Shanahan doesn't look like the offensive genius we've seen for the past few years. People love to say he's washed and call for his head, which I think it's funny when people say “fire Kyle Shanahan”, and I just think... fire him from what position exactly? 'Cause he has three. Where exactly is he failing? 'Cause I know it's not all of them.

I've theorized for a while that he's got too much on his plate, and he needs to let someone else in and help him out on the OC position. I understand if he doesn't 'cause the two times the 49ers went to the Super Bowl, he was the OC (de facto), so he's probably thinking he doesn't need one. But the greatest coaches all have OCs, so maybe it's time he gets one too, maybe that'll fire things up a bit. Idk, we'll see.

4. I don't trust this team to win it all, but I trust this team to win it all

They've looked pretty awful honestly. After yesterday the little bit of faith I had is on the verge of disappearing. I need them to wrap this up by next week 'cause I don't think I can handle being on the verge of another heart attack. This clusterfuck of a team doesn't look like they're gonna figure it out anytime, yet I still think they'll figure out by next week. Bro, I hate it here.

5. Fire Brian Schneider

I get it, let's stick to the plan, but no, I don't get it. I know the 49ers are not big on midseason firings, but I think he should be fired.

6. Nick Sorensen

When you've seen the greatness of men like Robert Saleh and DeMeco Ryans, you can't bring yourself to be patient with coordinators like Nick Sorensen. So... tik tok, do something. You got 30 minutes.

7. My approach towards this team has changed

Despite the fact that I am begging them to get it together by next week, I'm not expecting them to look like they have the past few years. I'm expecting them to play awful every game and still win and in some cases lose. The team is all over the place right now and frankly, all I can do is laugh at the mess.

8. Brock played well, despite what some folks may say

He was giving Purdappolo for a bit there, let's be real. This guy handled all this pressure way better in year 1 and 2, something is going on inside that pretty little head of him and I hope and pray it is fixed. But he had some wonderful throws, and he is responsible for that game winning drive. I don't care much about the almost INTs, they never happened, he did pretty good despite it.

I can't help but notice y'all hold him to a different standard than other qb's and it's a little messed up.

9. The fight

Was a bad look, honestly, I think you should protect your teammates at all costs, but I understand both sides. You put yourself in Deebo's position, he was really frustrated and told Moody to lock in. I think he could've said something else like “hey, man, you got this”, but I also understand why he was upset and why he felt like he couldn't control himself. Often times we forget they are humans just like us, and humans snap and feel emotions, sometimes to the point where they can't be managed in a way that will benefit everyone else. Do I wish he had said something more encouraging? Yes, but technically there's nothing wrong with the words “lock in”. I also think throwing hands was unnecessary, and the worst part of it all because you're in front of a national audience but Deebo's words were directed towards Jake not Taybor, he had “no business” getting into it.

However, I also understand Taybor getting upset because he's trying to look out for Moody, he probably saw Moody's frustration firsthand, because let's remember, he just came off of an injury and I'm pretty sure he wants to get those FGs as much as anyone. A kicker's mental state is something you don't mess with and that's why Shanahan didn't say anything to Moody until after the game. So that's why I wish Deebo's words were a little more positive.

These guys are used to protecting each other but with moments like this, in the heat, getting hit constantly and relying on your kicker to lift y'all up and seeing it's not happening when he literally has ONE job, it's frustrating and it can make the desire to “protect one another” disappear for just a bit. So I understand where both sides are coming from, hopefully they get past this.

10. Being mad at Shanahan for his speech after the game is BS

Idc if you're mad at Moody, I will forever applaud Kyle for what he did. He knew Moody was probably feeling like shit and gave him props for the game winning FG. “It wasn't right down the middle”, we know, he stretched it a bit, but the point still stands. You think Moody was happy and feeling himself? I'm almost sure he wasn't, and giving him that game ball was Sports Psychology 101 at its finest. You may think he didn't deserve it 'cause he missed 3 FGs but he also happened to make the game winning one, even if barely. Me personally I would've given it to Ricky or Brock, but I'm a firm believer this was done to cheer Moody up and give him some confidence back 'cause he most likely lacking and that's probably why he missed. So stop being dense, no wonder y'all aren't NFL coaches.
