I think the OL coach has a TON with that as well.

Yes, for the fact he keeps saying I can take later round picks and make that work. With our tackles we can see it doesn't work. It's going to be a long season with ebbs and flows this is ebb and it sucks.

The TW holdout is coming back to bite us too. If we had a better back up than Moore we could have weathered it better.

WITH all the things said on how he can make any players and make it work, IS A SIGN of how BAD of a HC he is.. it's simply EGO over anything .. of course it did not help that he got all the support from the media, making him a GREAT HC already even before becoming a GOOD one..

HE's nothing more than an OC, and this is why we lost 2 Super Bowls under him.

It's week three.

God knows the Niners aren't in mid-season form.

Look. I'm not saying firing Kyle like some are. But I am saying he needs to get grilled and questions need to be asked. We didn't replace Wilks just to get worse on defense. We didn't waste a 3rd round pick only to draft a kicker who can't make important kicks. We didn't keep Bell on the active roster over Cowing just to have him drop it. And don't even get me started on how another star holdout is once again costing us into the season…

We are the Buffalo Bills of this era and even worse because at least the 1990s Bills didn't think they were the best team in football. What is really starting to annoy me is the arrogance this team displays and the utter blindness in its faults. I do think that starts with Kyle but all the players who think they are the best or whatever. It's annoying. You guys have lost two Super Bowls and haven't won sh-t. And to top it off we play a ton of guys the most money for their position and then they play like crap the next year. Heck, even Deebo's bounce back year was mid.

It's week 3.

Kyle's teams have had a habit and a history of getting punched at times.... But habit and history also show they punch right back, they don't roll over.

We are supposed to be 49er Faithful. Some of ya'll want to bench 6 players, release two, trade one, fire 3 coaches and kick a puppy every time we lose.

Just breathe. Again, it's week 3.
Kyle and his staff need to re-evaluate the way they play the 4th quarter. I'm no defensive guru but for some reason this team plays well defensively in the first half, so-so in the 3rd and terrible in the 4th. It seems to be a pattern. Is it because the other team adjusts and the Niners D doesn't? Is this style of defense easy to counter and hard to change up? Purdy said the Vikings were disguising coverages and throwing things at him he'd never seen. It seems like no matter who the Niners' DC is other teams are able to adjust in the 2nd half. They're able to see what the 49ers are doing and attack it. If they can't make some changes to fix that issue then Kyle needs to change his approach when he gets a lead. He needs to stay aggressive because double digit leads aren't safe with this defense.
Fire this clown already
MAKE this guy get an OC already!

Already dropped two. Going to lose against Detroi, Green Bay and KC and we will split against Seattle and Arizona.

This might be a 9-10 win team.

It's gonna be a long season If the defense doesn't figure It out soon.

We're only 3 games Into the season and we're already playing catch-up.

This is assuming nobody else gets hurt throughout the year too

The offense Is the least of worries Imo. The defense on the other hand.......
Kyle is the type of coach who will hypnotize TV commentators and fans with fancy shifts, motions and moving around. But when the chips are on the line he is just a disaster. No situational awareness, game management, time management, personnel decisions (Bell over Cowing... ), killer instinct, close out games, repeated collapses at the end, completely ignoring offensive line for years. Just all the stuff you really need to win in the NFL. Especially the big ones. He has cute motions and shifts. But closing out a game is not about that. He doesn't know how to. Maybe he should ask Andy Reid how.

What role does the OC serve here... what would his responsibilities be considering this team already has a run game coordinator and a pass game specialist?

Those three are long-standing fair criticisms of Shanahan. Going back to Atlanta in the Super Bowl where his play calling at the end cost Atlanta a Lombardi, he still makes the same mistakes now. On the last drive, instead of short passes with a high probability of completions and running the clock down, he is calling deep drops that put more pressure on the OL and lower completion percentages that left LA with plenty of time to go down the field and win the game.

Yes, Moody missed a long kick but the strategy should have been to grind out the time and make a short kick, if not a TD. That is the Shanahan failure in time management once again.

They absolutely have a track record of bouncing back but it's not realistic to think that's sustainable year after year.

But the bigger question to me is why haven't these issued been addressed and instead been allowed to become the norm year after year.
