This is really... really... silly.
1. Attitude is everthing.
2. I saw enough at the time it was probably important.
We had enough plays to see his reactions but the networks may not have chosen to show it.
It is not silly to speak of one's character. A learning lesson for him is all I hope and wish for.
Thank you for the banter.
Hope next year is THE one to get the team back in the trophy cabinet at the museum in Santa Clara.
I saw Jalen Hurts made to look good by a great offensive line. He is overrated. Defensive line couldn't sack him. Yes, Bosa was playing hurt, but I don't think it impacted the game.
49ers had six years to build a good pass protecting online and failed.
I saw the run defense exposed. Need to address that.
I saw McCafferey as the only rb out there today. Elijah Mitchell is a liability because of constant injuries. Where was Jordan Mason? Is Davis Price a bust? Need reliable depth behind McCaffrey.
I think the main thing is pass protection - glaring weaknesses. Maybe we need a new offensive line coach as well or assistant online coaches.
We got beaten on both offensive and defensive lines. This is why Philly is in the Super Bowl. Games are won at the line of scrimmage.
Qbs…Garoppolo is gone. Who will be the qb next season? Brock? Trey? Brady? Rodgers? Who knows.
On the plus side, Philly receivers were neutralized.
if the 49ers want to win the Super Bowl, they will mainly need to address the oline and protect the qbs.
Shanahan will have a long offseason. Let's hope the injured players get well quick.
What holes do you think we need to fill this offseason?
We need another DT. But hopefully Kalia Davis can fill that spot because Kinlaw is not it. I would still sign another DT either way. Payne would be nice but might be too expensive. I am ok at DE because I think Drake Jackson will be that guy opposite Bosa, Now that he has a year under his belt. Re-sign Eman as he will now be cheap. Let Jimmie Ward go. He will be too expensive. Draft a safety or two as this is a deep safety class. Re-sign Gipson. He won't be expensive. Spend on the Oline, Especially the right side.

I'll throw out a slot receiver that can sit and find holes. Our Edelman, Cole Beasley, type receiver would eat up teams in our offense. We have been trying with Quinton Patton, Trent Taylor etc... None have panned out
A true high point good route running tall outside receiver would help as well. Somebody who can win routes with footwork alone and high point the ball without needing to be schemed open. A jump ball guy.
Need more defensive lineman as you stated. We let them walk every year so we need good bodies that can get 5+ sacks a year playing limited snaps.
Maybe a better punter? I'm not sure on this one but it felt to me this year like wishnowsky kicked quite a few I to the endzone that a better punter could pin instead. Not sure of the stats on this one but that's how it felt watching often.

RT is average at best and need major upgrades. Center position needs improvement as well. Don't have a lot of trust in backups either.
Do feel we need an upgrade next to Arik.
Need couple of upgrades in secondary.
Need a real backup TE
Need a RB that can spell CMC a good amount - really prefer CMC to get more snaps as a receiver.
Purdy is amazing - and played out of his mind over the last few weeks of the season. But imo the best thing for the team will be to let Purdy and Lance battle it out in the summer. Seeing what Hurts has done this season gives me all the hope for Lance and still feel his ceiling is so higher - and just needs to play. Either way - we should have 2 really good young QBs in our system for 2023 and 2024.

Hard to take this post seriously. Rubbing some salt in the wound?

Lance is trash 🗑. He can't even hold Purdy's jock strap. Now if Kyle could scheme offensive line protection we would get somewhere.

Is Gould the only guy that one could see possibly retiring? I get that he's a free agent, but I can see him hanging them up instead of signing elsewhere.

We need to oline (right side) and dline. Anything else we can improve is just gravy. Now just wait on the Purdy MRI. If it requires surgery bring in Brady, if not Purdy is QB1.
