This is a really good post Ninester.
One thing that's not getting attention is that atrocious oline play. You see McGlinchey being constantly abused, you see Williams running the wrong way, and they're both injury-free.
That was enough for Staley to tweet out "What the hell is this" yesterday and maybe part of it is that they don't have a Staley presence there, a natural leader, but with such noncoordinated o-line help it matters less who the quarterback is.
Not sure where you are getting the "One thing that's not getting attention" line about the O-Line. Its getting ALOT of attention. I mentioned it as my primary concern outside of injuries above.
McGlinchey has regressed. They still don't have Richburg. Brunskill was hoped to be an improvement over Person. He's not. Tomlinson hasn't been very good and most alarmingly, neither has Trent Williams of late. It doesn't look like he's "lost it" in terms of his physical attributes, but he is NOT playing well. Rust? Dunno.
He still moves like a cat and from time to time is just devastating, but he has ALOT of mental lapses and time that he flat whiffs on the defender. Its weird.
EDIT:
So like Williams does THIS...

I mean its maddening. The only thing that makes any sense to me is that he might be rusty....but he's been on the field for a month now.
