Coach Talk

T51515 20
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, T51515 20. Our running backs were thoroughly outmatched by the opposition. Buoyed by Ty Johnson (16 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Nyheim Hines (75 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for just 13.22 points in Week 14, while the starting backfield for Epic Shit Only nearly quadrupled us with a score of 49.9.
Epic Shit Only
Wait, our quarterback threw one interception and literally zero touchdowns? We may need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Did Alex Smith seem rattled back there in the pocket, or was the 49ers secondary just that great defending the pass?
