1. Worst tackling I've ever seen
2. O-line just as bad as last year? Made a Anseh-less Lions defense look like the Vikings
3. Wide receivers not getting open
4. Awful red zone play and no well put-together drives; benefited from a huge kick return and Breida's TD
5. The serious confidence they over-achieved with in the last 5 games this year is now the reverse--they're playing even worse than they are...like a team that's scared and is no longer buying into their own hype and, instead, realizing "hey, we're really not good".
6. Injuries, injuries, injuries

Can we also talk about how much they had to rely on Stafford over-throwing and Lions receivers dropping the ball? That bailed them out A LOT.

This is a really BAD team.

Looks and plays like a Mike Nolan six-win team. The front office and staff need to be scrutinized for doing almost nothing other than lucking in to Garoppolo who looks like he'd rather be elsewhere too.

We got bailed out by penalties too. JG threw a really bad pass at a crucial time. The Lions pretty much beat themselves.

Yep. And let's also pepper in the Lions being on the road--halfway across the country--, on a short week.

I had faith with MckInnon they could get to 9 wins--mayyybe 10. After he went down it felt like 8. After the VIkes game, it felt like 7. This knocked it down to 5 or 6.

Wow man, it really does feel that way

Something needs to change quick or before we know it the season is lost. Maybe getting Foster and Goodwin win makes a difference

Oh, one more thing. Thom Brennaman is horrible. I sincerely hope he isn't calling any more 49ers games because that was atrocious. From a shoddy understanding of the rules, to getting players names wrong(Fred Taylor?) to making some absurd, hopelessly nonsensical statements, it was a complete s**tshow from what is supposed to be a professional broadcaster. He needs to stick to baseball.

The over-reaction in here is crazy! We won, we staved off a very good Stafford game and really had it not been for the 3rd and 17 pickup, we'd hsve won by 2 TDs.

We still aren't a playoff team, and neither are they, both teams will probably be 8-8 to 10-6 when it's all said and done.

He kept saying lions were "wide open" when there were niners right there. I get if he says well there's a window there.... But wide open means no one around

Glad I'm not the only one that was puzzled by his definition of wide open.

That whining about the hit on Stafford near the sideline was annoying. dude was genuinely disgusted the refs didn't throw a flag. But Stafford was still in bounds and bracing for the hit. His own fault for not stepping out.
