Can Niners Bounce Back and Play Better?
As I watch the struggling niners play the last 2 weeks I try to figure out why they haven’t been winning. They played the Browns and the Vikings which in my opinion they should have beaten the Browns. The question now lies on who to blame for the losses? Is It the offense or the defense? The offense isn’t producing like it was the first 5 weeks and the defense isn’t holding teams to 10 points per game. Nick Bosa didn’t have a sack game, should fans be worried? Brock Purdy is in a little slump but he’s going to get back on the right track. Christian McCaffery must stop fumbling, I know he’s not the main problem but can’t have wasted possession from fumbles. The Niners pass defense wasn’t the best against the Vikings as Kirk Cousins looked pretty good against them. He threw for 35 for 45 attempts for 378 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Also When asked if his holdout has hurt him, Bosa responded, via The Athletic's David Lombardi, on Wednesday, "I think a little bit." This year, I suppose I'm attempting to work on things while on the run that I was unable to accomplish during camp. Therefore, I believe that I overanalyzed the two games I described because I was attempting to add something to my rush strategy, which is not something I want to be doing during the season. I want to focus solely on my strongest suit and execute it for the entire year. However, there's currently no justification for that.
It Basically sums up another reason the Niners are struggling, there run defense is another major issue that needs to be fixed to succeed for next week which won’t be an easy game as the Niners are going to face the Bengals that are playing well but will it be enough to get a win after losing 2 games in a row. With Burrow playing well and Jamar “always open” Chase being unfair towards one-on-one matchups and the other weapons the Bengals have. This is going to be a game to deicide the playoff talks for the Niners if they lose three games in a row or can they finally bounce back and get a win to be 6-2 and those two losses wouldn’t mean as much as before.
