The San Francisco 49ers VS Washington Redskins, Monday night of the regular season twelve weeks.
During the offseason, the game was held with high hopes, and many analysts commented that they were looking forward to this game; but after the new season was unveiled, the performance of the two teams was far below expectations, killing everyone By surprise, things seemed to deviate from the original track.
The side also proves that the NFL is fiercely competitive. The ups and downs between seasons are definitely not that simple.
The 49 people in San Francisco needn't go into details, and the Washington Redskins also fell into the quagmire of defeat.
In the wild card game last season, Griffin injured his right leg and knee again in the fourth quarter against the Seattle Seahawks, following the fourteenth week of the regular season. After the game, he was diagnosed After the right knee cruciate ligament and the tibial collateral ligament were torn at the same time, he immediately received surgical treatment and then entered a long period of rest.
Because of the surgical recovery and subsequent rehabilitation, Griffin missed all the training camps and all preseason games of the Washington Redskins. The recovery status and the game feel became a huge question mark, but when the regular season was unveiled, the head coach Mike Shana Han still announced that Griffin had returned to the starting quarterback position, expressing his firm trust.
But the injury is ultimately an injury, and even if he recovers, it is no longer the same as before, and the style and content of the game will inevitably change drastically.
Restrained by a knee injury, Griffin's reading options offensive and the number of personal possessions have decreased significantly, correspondingly increasing the proportion of shots passed.
But this is not the style of the game that the running quarterback is good at. Griffin's personal turnovers have greatly increased, which has doubled from the same period last season. The passing accuracy has also fluctuated sharply; at the same time, This also broke the balance of the team's offensive tactics manual. Last season, the powerful threat of the Washington Redskins' multiple offenses plummeted. The arrangement of tactics was obviously constrained, forcing the team's offense into a deep quagmire.
The new season started with a three-game losing streak, and then the Washington Redskins finally defeated the Oakland Raiders, ushered in the first win of the season and received a short buffer period; then entered the offseason week, and returned to the six games returned, lost to The Dallas Cowboys, defeated the Chicago Bears, lost to the Denver Broncos, defeated San Diego Lightning, and then successively lost to the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles.
So far, Washington Redskins season record is temporarily fixed at three wins and seven losses.
Objectively speaking, the record data is not satisfactory, but it is not so bad that it is clear at a glance from the same period last season:
At this time last season, Washington Redskins entered the adjustment of the offseason with three wins and six losses. After returning from the break, they scored a wave of seven consecutive victories and reached the ranks of the playoffs in one fell swoop; the current record is three. With seven wins and seven losses, who can be sure that they can no longer achieve a wave of six consecutive victories to complete the counterattack?
But the question is, did the situation last season and this season really be the same?
Last season, the rookie quarterback Griffin quickly adapted to the league rhythm after the violent impact of the first half of the season. In the second half of the season, he found a feel and rhythm. The tactical system built on the core of reading option offense played well. Hu Shengwei continued to seize the advantage in head-to-head confrontation, and finally achieved a seven-game winning streak.
This season, second-year quarterback Griffin was suffering from a knee injury, the reading option offensive ratio dropped sharply, and was forced to return to the traditional pocket quarterback game mode and re-establish the tactical system, which is almost equivalent to self-abstract martial arts, Starting from scratch, and still in a way and style that I am not good at, how easy is it to win a six-game winning streak?
Of course, Griffin's offensive talent is still amazing through the "45:41" defeat of the Chicago Bears. From last season to this season, this is an unquestionable thing; but facing the "rookie wall" obstruction In the face of the impact of the right knee injury, how much success can Griffin play?
In the two seasons, similar situations have different situations. All the weight is placed on the shoulders of second-year Griffin.
"San Francisco 49ers VS Washington Redskins", this game came under such a background.
At this point in time, both teams are in a relatively unstable state: with certain capabilities, but also facing many difficulties, and also have hope, this season still has many possible different trends, next It depends on what kind of answers the two teams can hand in in the process of facing challenges and hardening.
Before the official start of the twelfth week of the regular season, analysts within the league also talked about the game:
"On the one hand, although the San Francisco 49ers are now facing many difficulties and many variables, on the whole, they still showed an upward curve. Lu Ke still occupied the starting position, allowing the team to find the backbone and rediscover The undefeated teacher with a tough style. "
"On the other hand, the overall condition of Washington Redskins has not changed much. It has always been in a struggling and flat state, just like an electrocardiogram. Not able to adapt to the style of 'pocket quarterback'. "
"Relatively speaking, the San Francisco 49ers have the upper hand in this game."
Among the ten analysts, the final choice was "eight: two", and 49 people in San Francisco won eight votes.
Before going to Washington to fight away, the San Francisco 49ers released the latest report on the injury:
The near end of Vernon Davis has to miss four to six games due to the serious concussion. Whether it can catch up with the last game of the season is still unknown.
Security guard Eric Reid had a concussion in the second week against the Seattle Seahawks and failed to complete the game, but the situation was relatively minor at that time and he did not miss the follow-up game; this time it was his season The second time I encountered a concussion, the situation was more optimistic than expected, and I only needed to miss two games.
Offensive guard Mike Rupatti's old shoulder injury once again had problems during training on Thursday. After the filming examination, the doctors need to rest for at least one week to two weeks after the absence of the film. To conclude, it must be treated with caution.
In addition, wide receiver Mario Manningham suffered a slight thigh muscle strain and he will also miss a game.
Among the bad news, good news still appeared.
The wide receiver Michael Crabtree's Achilles tendon was injured after a long period of rest and rehabilitation, and finally announced his recovery. He has officially returned to the training base this week and began to invest in training.
The most important concern is undoubtedly Lu Ke's injury.
In the game against the New Orleans Saints, Lu Ke's passing accuracy declined significantly, and everyone with a clear eye can see the clues; then Lu Ke missed the recovery training on Tuesday, although the official announcement did not mention Lu Ke's injury, but the fans and the industry The reporters still cast their attention.
Later, the team issued an official announcement. Lu Ke's arm muscle was slightly strained, but it was not a big deal. Everything was normal during training. He will continue his debut against the Washington Redskins.
On November 25th, at 8:40 p.m. Eastern Time and 5:40 p.m. Western Time, the Monday night game officially sounded the horn.
Although the analysts in the "Union" have given a rough outline of the trend, the actual progress of the game has brought no small accidents-not twists and turns, but light accidents.
From the first second of the game, the San Francisco 49ers took control of the game and firmly controlled the game trend. They never let the game progress out of their control. In a stable and solid way, they won the victory locally. in. Without twists and turns, there was no entanglement, and the victory of the San Francisco 49ers was "accidentally" relaxed.
Although the recent situation of the Washington Redskins is not good, the control of the San Francisco 49ers on the whole game is still impressive. After the last blow of the "undefeated aura", the team quickly packed up their emotions and refocused their attention. Force, invested in this game in the best state.
Dominating the game is not the offensive group led by Lu Ke, but the defensive group led by Willis!
Despite the lack of Alton Smith, although all the veterans on the defensive front were injured, although Willis played only three quarters, and although the defensive second line lacked major generals, the defensive team playing in the residual team still relies on teamwork The power completely ruled the game.
Defensive front: four sacks, nine collisions with quarterbacks, seventeen effective pressures, and one pass to pass.
Defensive second line: Seventeen effective tackles, twenty-two interceptions in time, and one interception.
Such dazzling performance data is a nightmare for any offensive team. Quarterbacks and offensive fronts are almost breathless in the torrential rain, starting from the pressure on the front line to the second line. The San Francisco 49ers defensive group, who played in the "old, weak and sick" lineup, once again showed the level of dominance.
Throughout the game, the defense team led by Willis restricted the Washington Redskins offense team to be unable to move:
The ground advances 114 yards, the pass advances 76 yards, and the opponent is allowed to advance a total of 190 yards in the game; in addition, the opponent is only allowed to get ten lead in the game!
Fully suppressed!
In the end, the Washington Redskins only successfully advanced to the free kick area twice in the second quarter and scored six points. The other three quarters were all brutally blocked, almost no fight back, the game was already in the second half of the third quarter Early into the garbage time, even a little suspense.
In particular, this is the worst game of Robert Griffin III's career:
From NCAA to NFL, for the first six seasons, this is the first time Griffin has ever won a touchdown. Neither a pass touchdown nor a run touchdown.
