Bush

[red]

i have told you guys for years not to let the pile of shit on the field because it will cost us

now he cost us a playoff game, and it wasn't his first

you assholes need to listen

[Brandon494]

I mean we had to, losing Shields for the game really hurt us.

thats why i always wanted to get rid of him, no matter how good he looked on ST

he always weasels his way into the defensive lineup and he almost always does something boneheaded to cost us

[Bossman641]

Bush was least of the problems and unless you wanted to pull people off the street I dunno who else would have played db

[mraynrand]

Bush made a great play on the pass rush. He forced Kap off his play and made him run. The error (AGAIN!) was Mulumba not scraping and keeping contain. The question is whether he was told to keep outside contain, or whether he just ignored instructions/forgot/didn't know his assignment. If the coaches told him to crash inside - and sent Bush, they should be shot. But it was a solid pass rush by Bush.

I think Bush probably played a pretty good game. I saw him on Vernon Davis quite a bit, and Davis didn't go off. Davis is always a tough matchup. But, yeah, I think he blew contain on that last play. Of course, he'll always have the pick in the Super Bowl to hang his hat on.

I didn't realize I had any sort of personnel powers. Can I just get rid of anyone?

Are you in the right thread?

[Zool]

Are you in the right thread?

Red said he's been telling us to get rid of Bush for years. Didn't realize I had that sort of pull.

Thought that he had a good game. Aikman claimed Bush was responsible for contain, but Mulumba looked like he might have had that job. Mulumba looked injured while trying to chase down Kap. I'm any event, that play was far from the worst defensive lapse.

If you want to blame someone, Hyde dropped the potential game winner.

Yup when you look at it all.

It was just that play 'away', close.

WOW ! That pick six and in all likelihood we're off to play the Panthers and more suffering.

The Packers are a severely hurting team.

GO PACK GO !

No he didn't - what he did on that play was idiotic!!!

When you're rushing from the outside like that, you have to take the outside shoulder of the blocker and if you realize you're not going to get home you have to come under control and contain the QB - especially a guy like Kapernick.

That's football IQ, pure and simple. You have to know which angle to take, what shoulder to block/attack. That rush was nothing short of stupid, and you saw the result. Before Kapernick had even take a few steps I was already walking away from the TV in disgust. It was stupid.

I'm never glad when the Packers lose. The one thing it does do, perhaps, is expose more the lack of discipline and football smarts and overall instincts of some of the guys on our defense. I know they were gritting it out and kept the score close and for that I was happy that they found a way to keep it so close. Big picture, this defense needs some major tweaking and a change in leadership. That change may not make the guys we have tackle better, think or communicate better, but maybe it will and that's why it's worth doing because we have a pretty consistent offense when Rodgers is in and now that we have a running game we have balance. Now we need to once and for all fix the leaky defense. Too many blown coverages, lack of edge contain and lack of ability to impose its will when needed like a dominant defense can. Get it fixed and this team can go places.

Fuck, Bush played better defense than ST this season, which isn't saying much since he is, in reality, a pretty fucking shitty ST player, but I thought for the most part his defense was improved when he saw the field this year. I still wouldn't mind if a shark ate his leg and he could never play football again. Of course, then we might have to suffer some fool just as bad as him, like McMillon, or whoever that Bigby wannabe was. But like Bigby, Bush seems to enjoy a certain following that buy into this magical "reputation" he has for almost making ST plays and the two or three things he's done right in the last 5 years.

Would not be sad if he was cut. But lets remember that he was our 6th CB yesterday. It took Injuries to Hayward, Shields, and House to get him on the field. In the playoffs I would rather have a guy who has been on the team for 7 years and knows the defense come in then some guy they had to pull off the street. With that said I go back to my first comment. The guy has very low football IQ I would not be sad if he left if they can find someone better.
