A pair of dominant defensive performances by the 49ers has masked what have been two lackluster performances from the offense in the playoffs. Against the Cowboys, the Niners came out hot, set the tone, and scored on the opening drive.
The Niners never found their groove from there and into the Packers game last Saturday. The talent on the team is too much to keep tied down, so there will inevitably be splash plays.
The tenets of a Kyle Shanahan offense are running the ball, generating explosive plays, winning on first downs so you can convert on third down to play keep away from the opposing offense.
