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.

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.

Hey we won. Celebrate today and look at the film tomorrow.

Meh, I'm happy they won, but I think the Refs helped much more than I'd like for that. Tackling was atrocious - when the pass rush forced a dump off to a RB, the defense couldn't tackle and prevent RAC's. Disappointed in that.

So you prefer previous years when we would have let games like this slip away?

Something I noticed, I don't remember if it was spoon ward or Williams but they didn't get enough depth on a play to cover a deep route. The LB was really late coming over to cover the shallow route and the DB tried covering both which really created both WRs to be open. Stafford threw the deep route for a TD.

This is the stuff I hope we clean up.

The telecast was bad but on this play the color guy was right. Ward played that play terribly. It was 3rd & Goal from the 15 yard line - so protect the goaline. Ward jumped a harmless route in the flat and left Colbert out to dry. Terrible understanding of down and distance there. This play and the 3rd & 17 were the two major gaffes by the defense.

But they racked up 190 yards rushing and we are talking about why Jimmy held on to the ball for too long. That can't happen if the OL played pathetic.

The OL was actually pretty solid. The game film will reflect that as well. They did well run and pass blocking. Good game overall. RG was the only real weakness but we expected that going in.

Hopefully we get some stability at the o-line to get some of these guys to gel

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.
