The difference between the season we just saw and maybe winning home field advantage next year? A consistent pass rush! This is something I have been griping about for years. It's worse than it was last year.

Do the Niners need another receiving threat to compliment T.O.? sure. Do they need a cover corner and to move Webster to nickle? sure. But those things pale in comparison to the lack of ANY pressure on opposing QBs the second half of this season. Besides Carter, the front 4 are fair to poor.
Stubby is done. He is overweight and looks like he can't get his breath in the 4th quarter. Tailbacks are running right past him. B.Y. has clearly lost a step. A great warrior over the years, but he gets no inside push and no teams are afraid of him anymore. Chike is a missing person against any halfway decent offensive line. E-berg is a solid backup...no more than that.

All secondary problems aside, any DBs will get burned if the opposing QBs are allowed to sit back and comfortably pick their targets. Hell, our lack of a pass rush even made Washington and Seattle look good this year. Kerry Collins looked like Dan Marino out there. This has got to be the number one thing to fix in the off season.
