I’ve lived through all the painful losses of the past 30 years, but this one is the most frustrating. Our TEAM outplayed San Francisco for 60 minutes and deserved to win that game. You couldn’t say that in any of the previous 6 straight divisional round losses, we just weren’t good enough in those games and got beat by the better team. I can live with that.
But we didn’t need an A+ effort from the quarterback to win this one. He didn’t have to carry this team. He simply had to manage the game and not lose it, AND HE COULDNT DO THAT.
What are we doing here with this guy?! How many more seasons of elite defensive play are we going to waste on this third rate quarterback?! He simply had to protect the football and we win this easily!!! There’s no up and down with him, the guy can’t hit NFL throws on a routine basis! He doesn’t see the field or have any pocket presence… he’s turning 30!!
He was pressured FIVE TIMES ALL GAME!!!! THE OLINE PITCHED A NEAR FLAWLESS GAME IN PASS PROTECTION AGAINST THE TOP D IN THE LEAGUE!!! If he can’t avoid self destructing with the performance the rest of his team game him today it’s time to MOVE ON!!!
