We gain the lead by throwing the ball where the receivers are moving forward and are down the field. The receivers catch the ball while running and are already 5-15 yards down the field. Mix in some runs and our offense looks great.
We shut our offense down when we start getting cute and throwing the ball sideways. Our receivers are stationary when catching the ball and they are within 5 yards of the LoS, often even behind it. No Yac, no play mixture ... defense gets aggressive because every play is in front of them.
Watch the tape, as soon as Reid start "going sideway" our offense turns to complete shit.
I'm not absolving Alex Smith from bad plays. His vision and accuracy are mediocre. Doesn't change that our play calling is inconsistent as hell and is a big part of the problem.
