This is one of those games that can have me turnin' on old Bob.

I think I've been among his few fairly ardent supporters this year. But if we end up going out there and getting our asses kicked in a Cover 2 while Gurley abuses Ragland/Hitchens and Parker gets run the !@#$ over, I will not be pleased.

This is a 'pick your poison' game and I think the one that might kill you is preferable to the one that will kill you.

Goff may beat us up in a 46 - he's a no shit elite downfield passer. It's easily his greatest strength, IMO. That guy has downfield accuracy that is presently unrivaled in the league. A cover-1 look against him is legitimately terrifying, especially with a deep threat like Cooks who will absolutely get behind Nelson a few times.

But if he's waiting for those to develop and we can hang for just a couple of seconds, that's when the rush does its thing. That's when Plan B can help us if Plan A fails.

But if it's just Gurley killing us all day via short throws that eliminate the rush and runs that take advantage of our fairly porous run D....there's no Plan B there - you just get pushed down the field like we did in the playoffs against TN.

If Bob isn't openly and obviously scheming to prevent that, Imma be pissed.
