Capers has commented several times the last few weeks on how he has to dumb down the defense for the young players.  Points to Steelers as an example of how defense works/gets better as players play longer in it.

 

However, with TT emphasis on youth, we aren't getting the long term veteran players.  There is a mismatch between the players the defense should have and what it does have.

 

Doesn't mean Capers can't coach, or scheme doesn't work.  Just means that he and his scheme are a bad fit for the players we have and will continue to have under TT

that's a weak call on Bak…they are letting both sides play so you think you'd need something more to warrant a call. Could have cost us 4.

 

Offense is starting to click. Would like to see more Starks in 2nd half + Cobb…where has he been? Nothing is easy for them -- nothing down field.

 

Defense had great INT and some nice red zone stops, but let's face it…they still have given up 200+ yards and haven't forced a punt. They'll need to make some plays in 2nd half.

 

All in all, feel fortunate to only be down 3 after that awful start. But first SF possession will be a big one.

It looks like Harbaugh is wearing his kakis and shirt OVER a snowsuite.  Hilarious!!

 

Defense is hanging on by the skin of their teeth with now Shields and Neal out.  Just a matter of time before those floodgates give.   Hate to say it but this team's injury situation is the most consistent element about it.  Hard to beat a fully healthy playoff team with half a defense.
