Hard to make an offense go when your o-line is in shambles. Deep routes are out of the question. TEs and/or RBs have to be kept in to block (and none of them are very good at it). Toss in a boatload of injuries and you don't have much creative license with the playbook.
That said, I despise the "prevent offense" we hide behind whenever we have a lead. If we had a running game, it might work. But all we've done this year is go 3-and-out and give the ball right back to the bad guys.

Yes, one thing I was saying to my Niner friend is that the reason we're having these D injuries is because they're on the field all day long.
The O needs to eat some clock. We need first downs. That's what's killing us.
Also, you can't blame the OL for everything. Lynn Dickey had the worst OL in the NFL and we still we #1 in O in '83.
When an aspect of your game is bad, you do something else to cover it up. A fact of life - every team has strengths and weaknesses. You implement your strengths and do the best to not let your enemy exploit your weaknesses. On the flip side, you exploit your enemy's weaknesses while trying to minimize their strengths.
No excuses. It's time for MM to step up and win us some damn games. He has let us down this year. We all know he has potential. We've seen him last year. We know what he's capable of.
