What a shame that such a talented team is absolutely playing uninspired and bad football. No spark, no fire, no urgency. To me this is about 80% on the coaching staff, and 20% on the injuries.
I didn’t even have the stomach to watch the 2nd half after watching the penalties and the missed tackles stack up in the 1st half. One good drive that closed the score to 17-7 led to the usual completely devastating penalty on the Deebo’s 87 yard kickoff return. A penalty that was pretty much bullshit as Saubert had his hands inside the shoulder pads, and he shoved the guy to the ground.
But that is us.
After that, the game was over. Some teams overcome their mistakes. We don’t. Not even sure I have the wherewithal to watch the 2nd half after the nearly helpful KO return.
Still and all we are still one game out of 1st place. The Rams are down 20-7 to the Eagles, so this still has to happen, but even if they win, everyone would be 6-5 but us.
No grumbling out of the locker room yet, but when does this train completely derail? After another humiliating loss on the road to a strong team? Losing at home to a woeful Bears team?
I just don’t see the coaching doing anything to change the trajectory of the team. Bring in Mason as a change of pace? 3 carries. Guerendo? CMC got some ineffectual touches as GB knew we would try to lean on him. Quick passes to the flat? Nope. Blitz more? Well, a couple worked, but the defense was not interested in doing much hitting or tackling today and we helped by turning the ball over 3x in the 2nd half.
77 yards in penalties, 44 yards rushing. This team looks tired and disinterested.
Ouch.
The highlight had to be the 12 men on the field penalties on back to back plays on the Packers 1st drive.
Utter stupidity.
We need to draft OL and DL in the first 2 or 3 rounds. Our D-Line is a shadow of itself, from even last year. Areik Armstead was an absolute play wrecker. Everybody else got the stats but Armstead was a force.
Exactly Berger.
Protect the QB, sack the QB

Fairly telling article. And something we’ve all been harping on. We don;t generae enough pressure and can’t protect Purdy.
I’ve been harping on the O line woes for years and years. You guys have been bemoaning no fat man in the middle for just as long.
It’s definitely time to retool. Just about all our old guys are continually hurt now and we just look like a weak team. I would start at the top.
Finally on KNBR this morning they said where is the 5 man front and more blitzs, and they should be doing the 5 man front without Bosa.
Sorensen is a joke Irish. Not sure what this clown is thinking.
Well..
Here’s a breath of fresh air –

I tell ya I’m just tired of seeing Warner 10- 15 yards behind the line doing nothing. Sorensen is just plain bad.
Welp, time for another rebuild. In the meantime, how ‘bout some more classic rock YouTube videos?
Not gonna post any Justin Bieber for you. Sorry.
Ya think? Christ Capt Obvious..

Eek! Snell to Dodgers?
Yep. The rich get richer and we go nowhere. Funny how we can’t afford Snell with our middling payroll, but the Dodgers can with their ginormous payroll.
I’m afraid the Posey hire is little more than window dressing.
I hope I’m wrong.
That SI writer must read this blog. I’ve been harping on all that shit all season. No adjustments. We get out-schemed every game in the 2nd half.
hah!
I don’t know. My problem with this team is the very fact the coaching staff is doing the same shit over and over and expecting a different result.
They are not adjusting at all to any of the changing conditions they are dealing with. The base rush was barely working WITH Bosa. Now it is not working at all, and we can’t stop the run.
Soooo, let’s do the same thing! The red zone offense is crap, but let’s run on 1st down EVERY TIME. Blitz on 2nd down forces a throw OB. 3rd down sack since this team cannot scheme a blitz pickup to save their lives.
New thread is up.
