The 49ers offense has moved the ball up and down the field in 2022. Unfortunately for San Francisco games are decided by points, not yards. In their win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night, the 49ers offense was able to manage just 22 points. This just happens to match their points per game average for the season. Afterwards Kyle Shanahan was asked why his team isn’t clicking. “Not…

The 49ers performance against Los Angeles on Sunday was their best of the season. Kyle Shanahan had the offense moving throughout the game. They were able to overcome a few mistakes and produce their highest scoring output of the season. The impact of Christian McCaffrey was clear, and Shanahan did an excellent job of setting Jimmy Garoppolo up for success. On the defensive side, DeMeco Ryans’ group was able to…

The Positive John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan turned…

The 49ers offense is stuck in neutral. Through the first seven weeks of the season Kyle Shanahan’s group is on pace to match the point total of the 2017 squad, only 20.7 per game.

At first glance some of you are likely thinking this is blasphemous. Let me explain. Over the first five weeks the Niners defense faced teams with either…
