It’s not some big mystery…. The same thing happens to the 49er offense when they have no offensive weapons available on game day. The system and play caller are totally limited by a lack of playmakers and a HC that want to play safe but dumb situational football on offense as a philosophy.
I said at the beginning of the season that in this system, we could survive a mediocre OLine…. But not that lack of offensive weapons and depth there.
Now…. At the time…. I had no idea we’d be dealing with so many losses in both areas. But I still think that if we had more weapons on offense, and less influence from the HC…. The offense would be much better.
