So many wild Overreactions this morning.
-Russ Wilson: we make that kick, we're talking about how RW actually choked that game away...he had two costly turnovers in the 4th and in OT.
-One Loss: this isn't as big because we won 8 straight. Could mean something down the road but...
-we need to move on: Gotta have that "on to Cincinnati" mindset. Let's take care of business with AZ
-Health: this is what's important. If we are healthy at the end of the season, I believe we can go real deep in the playoffs even if we start from a WildCard position.
Let's not overreact...it's one loss, our only one at the moment. The only thing telling of this game is that, we aren't the same team without our key players...no team is. And our Defense doesn't give up...the DK Metcalf right before halftime was an example.
OP said it was an "utterly embarrassing" night for us. I strongly disagree. That game could've been, but we
battled all night....nothing embarrassing about that at all.
Bang Bang NinerGang!
Is E-40 making a "theme song" for us a jinx? Look what he did to the Warriors!
* Nine drops combined between Bourne, Deebo, Goodwin, Pettis, and Juice. I found that utterly embarrassing.
* Staley and McGlinchey both got run over and/or walked back into the pocket with ease, among every other way to get beat. I found that utterly embarrassing.
* Garoppolo was sacked 5 times, threw 1 INT called back on penatly and two other near INTs in crunch time. Could also argue the throw Bourne should've caught was not a good pass either. He threw multiple passes off target either too far out in front, in the dirt, or way over their heads all night. He also tried to do too much and got strip sacked twice, including giving up a scoop and score. I find all of that to be utterly embarrassing.
* Breida led the team with 10 carries on the night, and had a putrid 1.8 yds/carry average. I found that utterly embarrassing.
* Shanahan was content to let the clock run out at the half, despite having a timeout and the ball at the 25 with plenty of time to drive for a FG, and knowing the Hawks would get it in the 2nd half. When the Hawks called a timeout, we decided to kneel it down and pack it in like pansies, which sucked the air out of the stadium it felt. Fans booed as we walked off the field, and we made it look like we were scared and weak. He later went for it on 4th and 2.5 yards instead of kicking a FG that the guy clearly had the leg for. Third, instead of managing the clock properly late in OT, Shanahan dialed up three consecutive passes that instead of it being a "either we win or no one does" situation, it flipped it and gave Seattle that opportunity instead. I find all that utterly embarrassing.
Our defense played a heck of a game, but outside of that, it was an embarrassing effort offensively and coaching-wise. I feel like all of the above evidence supports that notion.
Those are all unfortunate events and happen all the time around the league..the other team consists of professionals as well. This isn't Alabama vs UC Davis.
What would be utterly embarrassing about it is if we were blown out OR if we were 0-8 coming into the game and this happened.
And even despite all this, we as a team, still could've won it.
2-14 is embarrassing, throwing 3 consecutive INTs and one for a pick 6 is embarrassing.
Hiring my Plumber as the new 49ers head coach and him giving a horrendous press conference and farting during a conference is utterly embarrassing!
If this is utterly embarrassing to you...what the heck is your expectations!?
