When the San Francisco 49ers travel east to take on the New England Patriots, the game is full of storylines. The 49ers have injury issues, the Patriots offense is under scrutiny and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo makes his return to New England.

Jimmy G is not the answer

The Patriots traded Garoppolo and at the time it was surrounded by controversy. Since heading to the west coast the team has had success, but there are reasons to believe he is having problems.

He’s not bad. But on a big-money contract? There’s plenty of evidence to suggest Jimmy Garoppolo is not a true face-of-the-franchise talent. pic.twitter.com/smvsrJ1h9x

Fortunately, for the 49ers, the Patriots offense is having problems that are much, much worse.

Patriots offense going backward

The Patriots offense is a genuine concern. They are without a big playmaker, have offensive line issues and Cam Newton is failing to meet expectations. Newton is always under pressure (4 sacks against Denver) he does not a pass-catching threat that can separate and they need trickery or QB runs to gain yardage. They need to establish the run game if they want to beat the 49ers.

Get ready to see this play from the #Patriots on Sunday against the #49ers: counter cross-lead weak. Puller kicks out the edge force while the FB leads to the WILL. Gets 4-on-4 to the weak side for the offense. Good run against SF’s 4-3 under front. pic.twitter.com/EOKtzI8tYg

The Patriots offense is slow to start games. The offense has yet to score in the first quarter in five straight games. Unless the offense gets better in just one week, they will have to rely on the defense to get the win.

Keeping Kittle in check

The Patriots have a knack for slowing down opposing tight ends. They have allowed just 200 yards to tight ends in five games and they have made the position invisible. They played against Travis Kelce, Darren Waller and none of them were impressive. Slowing down Kittle will be the number one priority for this defense.
