160 million dollar QB didn’t have his best game.
90 million dollar RB 31 yards
Star WR has only 1 catch
Star DE no sacks
Rookie Star LB no sacks
All Pro CB no big plays


Can’t win when your big stars don’t produce.
And no one else produces either. But yes, we expected a LOT more from all of these players. Add in Tyron missing some blocks and getting penalties, and even Zach missed a stunt to allow a sack. It was a **** show from start to finish by the entire team.

Amazingly as poorly as they played we still had a shot in the end. 49ers should have blown us out.

I can't be mad at the defense even though they didn't play well in the first half. If someone would have said before the game, the defense would keep the Niners to 23 points and get an INT on their side of the field, I would have said I'll take it and we'll win the game.

Even after the offense kept shooting itself on the foot, the defense made a stop and got the ball back to the offense with 3 minutes left being only down by 6 points. Too bad the offense chocked and could get it done.

Goes to show the 49ers will have a tough hill to climb Saturday in GB....beginning with the weather, single digits with some snow flurries expected. No Cali weather there. Jimmy G is a fraud.

The expensive quarterback running back and star receiver can't do their job when the old underpowered offensive line keeps starting the offense out in a hole because of pre-snap penalties.
Defense same thing penalties hurt and our star linebacker on the bench sucking oxygen because he had to go out to a Mavericks game with no mask and get covid rather than putting his social life on hold and staying safe.
That said without our young linebacker providing the pass rush our star cornerback can't use his ball skills to change the game.

Long story short nobody can show up and do their best when you're that undisciplined and have that many penalties it's just too big of a hill to climb for any team.
Throw Jerry in that pile of stars too that didn't have enough star power to have the roof on the stadium squared away so the sun wasn't in our players eyes and costing us points

Trent was a monster

With his contract Dak gets most of the blame. It’s his job now to carry the team, not hold them back.

Zeke was hurt and shouldn’t have been playing. Coaching fail.

Coop had a decent game but has looked lackluster lately. I think he saw the writing on the wall.

Tyron, Collins and Martin get most of the blame after Dak. Those guys got handled and now appear to be past their best.

Zach disappointed me the most. He was still awesome, but he did miss some plays. The most glaring was a stunt he totally missed and let up a sack. Collins just isn't good anymore, he's fallen off the cliff like LVE. Tyron is either still hurt, having Covid recovery issues, or he isn't good anymore either. I really hope it's one of the first two.

I don’t agree with bringing parsons up the middle. He is more dominant off the edge. Still lawerence up the middle. That’s a big difference in our 3rd down defense

D law and Zeke should be first cuts. We get zero production out of them in big games. If we ain’t going to try to run it then don’t pay a rb all that money. D law can’t sniff parsons play off the edge

It all falls in line. I think Parsons got hurt. But was once again not used to rush the qb. Quinn has blame. Our D-Line worried about the run and they were going to get yards there anyways but we let there qb come out throwing the ball with no pressure and no coverage in the middle.. We get pressure and man coverage and he throws a bad or rushed pass and we jump it. No turn overs because the DC played basically prevent. Play them like we played the wft..
