I'm thinking the same way as you on this team. It's probably mostly injuries, but it also seems like Kyle might be losing this team after so many years being here. Andy Reid had run his course in Phily so is it possible that Kyle is on the verge of doing the same here in SF? Maybe. I think the injuries could be a blessing in disguise because it allows these rookies everyone's been talking up to get a shot and it could rejuvenate the team. Missing all of these starters also reveals if Kyle has any answers and if Brock can overcome in the way Mahomes does. This team feels like the past their prime window Buffalo Bills at this point. I would not pick them to beat any of the top teams in the NFC. Detroit would destroy us at this point. It's possible the Commanders would as well.
i hate the 'injuries' narrative. LA beat us, they didn't have Kupp or Puka. We played KC they didn't have their RB1, their WR1, or WR2. everyone has injuries.
We just can't overcome injuries...that's a HC issue
