commentary...

what is wrong with the 49ers,Falcons,Giants,and Packers??? simply said,they all have major problems... first of all,i will go through them one by one... the 49ers offense and defense has really sucked,because their running game was non-existent the last two weeks,their passing attack has been stuffed by defenses designed to stop Kaepernick from executing their "pistol" offense,and without a running game,by their quarterback(he has been a statue in the pocket,trying to pass,and he has been under fifty percent in completion percentage)... the defense has lost players to injury,and other things,like free agency,and they seem not to be the same defense as last year,because Seattle,and Indianapolis ran the football down their throats... the 49ers offense has not been on the field too much,because the defense could not stop anybody on third down... they have been on the field twenty one minutes,against Seattle,and twenty four minutes,against Indianapolis... the NFL is an offensive minded,and passing league,and if you can not play offense(less than twenty five minutes will not do it),you will have a hard time winning the game... the problem with the Falcons is simple:their defense against the pass has been awful,and too much pressure put on Matt Ryan,and his passing,and defenses know that the running game has been very very erratic,with Steven Jackson out with a thigh injury... the defense also has had a very tough time rushing,and pressuring the opposing quarterback... they will have a tough time winning a game,but with Matt Ryan,they have a shot to win... the Giants have been awful offensively and defensively,allowing seven sacks to quarterback Eli Manning,yesterday,means that the offensive line has been very offensive,and the front seven of the defense has been muted in attacking the opposing quarterback(sacking),and that allows the weak defensive backfield to be exposed,as an unit who can not cover a fly,with flypaper,or even a fly swatter... the Giants' running game is one of the worst in the NFL,period,and if you can not run the football consistently,you can not win a game in the NFL... now for the Packers,the offense has been very inconsistent,and that goes back to quarterback Aaron Rodgers,and head coach Mike McCarthy,not on the same page,right now... the running game is one bright spot recently,but with Eddie Lacy out with a concussion,and James Starks out with a knee injury,they were depending on a third string running back,in Johnathan Franklin,and the offense has been so inconsistent,that they have not been on the field long enough to rest the defense,who against the run has been very good,and yet,when you play "jump ball",with taller receivers,you tend to get tired late in the game,and the fact the Packers' offense has been very inconsistent,with quarterback Aaron Rodgers not playing like he should,it is dragging the team down to a very good but not great team... the worst area of the team so far is the special teams unit,who fumbled the football within the Packers' two,to put the Packers down 14-0,before the offense was even on the field... no offense can score at will,and with the Packers' offense being just out of sync,the Packers are an enigma wrapped in a mystery...
