A classic shot ourselves in the foot kind of game. If it weren't for turnovers and penalties we should have won. We out played them in all other categories. I have confidence that we will bounce back.

if anyone refuses to watch the game and would rather look at a TL;DR post, this is pretty much all you need to see.

Yeah that game was all Niners in every single category you can think of whatsoever. Injury Luck, horrific weather and penalties gave the bears this one.

I'll get over this loss if we come out and win the next 3

We all have high hopes for this team, and it would be unnatural for most fans to come in here and accept this loss. This is true with all fan bases.

If they come out next week and beat the Seahawks, things will be better. But if they lose, expect more pissed off fans posting.

you did NOT watch the game at all.

I watched the entire game. Defense absolutely dominated the first half. Lance and the offense did nothing all game. When it came to winning, the defense folded and Lance played even worse. Shanahan coached gimicky and conservative. He was embarrassed. Team wasn't disciplined.

The niners felt like the better team most of the day but that's what made it even worse. All on kyle.

he called the worst red zone plays, the predictably awful first time center and guards were awful, Lance was about as expected (in not a good way).

sure it was ripe for an upset but it felt certain and at the same time, EASILY avoidable. Chicago was as bad as they were anticipated to be. And this team lost by two scores to em. And not because of the weather.

AGREE...

if everyone can just be honest.. all the blames point to KS10.. he being a good OC and all the hype he got starting from Big Mouth Sharpe and the rest of the talk show.. they made him BETTER than what he is and many fans here just believed that he is THAT good..

our team is talented but we don't have a talented HC.. that's the bottom line..

When I turned on the pre-game show and saw it was a downpour in Chicago I immediately thought this was the kind of game the Niners would lose. On the road, against a poor team is bad weather, Shanahan always seems to falter in those scenarios.

I do think the team will improve as the season progresses. And it's hard to take much away from a game like this. Other than the Bears played much, much more disciplined football than the Niners did. Penalties need to be cleaned up, and the defense needs to stick to their assignments. Had the Niners just done that they probably walk away with a W.

EXCUSES for KS10 is running out..

Been saying this for 3. years now..

Yup. Fire him after a week 1 loss after he got us to the NFCCG the season before.

oh, don't get me wrong.. he's not gonna get fired.. not this year at least.. so keep enjoying his COACHING ways.

Honestly Kyle's offense looks like a highschool gimmick. He looks like an idiot on game day compared to Reid. He has to be out of rope with this Trey stunt.

This is one thing I struggle to understand. Where is the gimmick? Looks like a pretty traditional modern NFL offense. A wide zone run game that feeds into a play action passing game to hit big plays. The passing game itself seems mostly West Coast based with an emphasis on hitting crossers to get YAC. This kind of offense is all over the NFL.

the HC just doesn't know how to game plan.. it's getting so obvious.. he calls same plays week in and week out.. he's so in love w/his play design that the thinks any thing in his playbook will work the minute he calls it..

Just look at our QBs when he has to drop back on an obvious passing down..

He's offense is getting old.. just the way Martz; Air Coryell's and Ernie Zampese's offense did..

It's really nothing new... both our O and D disappears when most needed..

why, because no GAME PLANNING what so ever..

I'm already over it. Tip your cap to the Bears. We did not play well enough to win and deserve our record. St Brown, Fields, Herbert, Jackson made plays in winning time (4th qtr). We did not. Who will rise up next week and make plays for us in the 4th quarter? We need 4th qtr playmakers.

so Eli going down and Lance having to move the chains by himself cause Jeff Wilson was having trouble running the ball meant he did nothing all game?

Lance ended up being our leading rusher... nothing I'm a fan of and that's a discussion for another thread, but to say he did nothing is dumb.

That's fair enough, but I don't think it means Shanahan's offense is a gimmick.

I do think Shanahan struggles to adjust when his game plan falls off the rails. Plan today was to run, run, run but that fell flat when Mitchell went out. However, I think the larger issue is Shanahan is constantly trying to set up future plays (i.e. he will run out of one formation to set up a deep shot later out of the same action). When those plays stumble or the offense gets behind the chains the entire offense just looks stagnant. It just can't hit those amazing set up plays when things go south. We'll see if that improves as the season goes on. I thought much of that was due to limitations with Garoppolo in the past.

it's a gimmick (IMO) offense because it's a predetermined read due to the play design that supposed to get the initial target open.. pay attention to the way our QBs (Grappy or Lance) drops back...

On a simple shot gun, they don't drop back deep enough to see how the D develops... instead, they do 2 steps back or 3, then releases the ball.. it's rare you'll see our QB drops back deep and just read the D.

If you're watching TB and Dallas game, you can simply tell how both QBs are reading the defenses..

Dallas is doing us a favor

The issue with Shanahan is he turtles into "play not to lose" mode too often when he should be aggressive and live with the consequences that it'll burn you every once in a while.

There was a window where the weather wasn't horrible and Lance was hitting on hitting on his throws but he didn't really capitalize on it by dialing things up for Aiyuk or Deebo in the passing game but double downed and running the ball to protect the lead.

Now to be fair I wouldn't rake Shanahan over the coals for this because it's a bad weather game with a raw young 1st time starting QB so there is logic behind calling a game like this. Not to mention his plan works if the defense executes better and doesn't extend Bear's drives with bad penalties.

That's not to just blame the defense as this is your textbook team loss and everyone had some hand in it to varying degrees.

It's ok to say KS10 just SUCKS as a HC.. this is a forum, you are allow to share your opinion..

What hurts the most is that we have a team that can contend and a HC who has a PERSONAL AGENDA..

I picked the Rams & Cards to loose and the 49ers to win, all three lost. I picked the Seahawks to loose, badly I might add. How ironic would it be that the most sucking NFC West team (and by most experts opinion competing for worst team in the entire league this year) ends up leading the division after week one by beating Denver.

I'm convinced if we play in rain it's an automatic L and god forbid we're on the road in the playoffs having to go to Tampa and it's raining it's going to be at GB in the 96 playoffs all over again
