AND I THOUGHT THE 49ERS OFFENSE LOOKED BAD!!!
After watching the 49ers offensive problems the last three weeks, it sure felt good to watch the Rams on Monday night. I knew they weren't going to be as good this year, but I never dreamed they'd be 0-3. It shows you what losing a tackle and third wideout to free agency will do to you. Unfortunately, given the division they're in, they can easily overcome this start. All it takes is two victories against the 49ers and they're tied for the division lead with the tiebreaker advantage.
Maybe Mariucci and Owens need to start feuding again. Other than one big play in the opener and the spectacular run for a score on Sunday, Owens has been very quiet. Whenever he has the opportunity to make a big catch, it seems like he is always dropping the ball. I expect that kind of thing from Stokes, not Owens.
The 49ers offense showed some signs of improvement, despite half the team fighting a flu bug, but they either need more imaginative playcalling, better decision making on the part of Garcia, or better personnel at the wide receiver position (don't get me started). Perhaps they need all three of those things to happen.
Whatever team gets there offense together within the next two weeks will most likely win the division. I hope the Rams get a victory next week though, because I can't think of a more dangerous 0-4 team for the 49ers to face.
