How? We lost to Minnesota last year and in every meeting since 1992. We also had a bad loss at Browns last season. Starting slow and having bad early season performances is normal for this team. Remember how bad it was at Chicago in week 1 also?

We will be fine. Brock will be fine and the defense will not give up games like this very often.

Small samples allow for extreme numbers, yes, but the 49ers' third-down conversion differential was -38% today (20% offense, 58% allowed on defense). Worst number in the NFL last season as the Jets at -11.2%.

So SF was exceptionally bad on the money down today, both ways

That might be the first time I've ever seen him say something critical of the team

He criticizes them plenty

Same stuff going on already as last year. Nothing has been fixed or addressed. And same poor play calling and game plan. It's like Groundhog Day

and to think this was the year we make the playoffs for the first time in forever

Safety position is an absolute mess and the CMC injury is huge he's the guy that makes everything go.

I have a good feeling McCaffrey will be back by Week 6. I think management knew the only game we could lose in the 4 weeks was today at MN and don't need him against LA, NE or AZ.

LOL no, no he does not. He criticizes anyone that has a different opinion than he does, though. And trashes anyone that is critical of the team. He's about as unbiased as Grant Cohn or Taylor Swift.

Jed York has already made a statement on that. Plus if they paid BA the money they paid him they are going to pay Brock.

They keep saying the team has so many weapons, but they sure struggled today. But so many things went wrong - kind of crazy.
Kyle needs to figure it out. Aiyuk is a non-factor right now.

with a genius like Kyle CMC being out shouldn't hinder this offense with the weapons he has in Kittle, Deebo, Aiyuk, Jennings, Juscyk and Mason. Also with Brock being the real deal. Get Aiyuk more involved and make this offense thrive.

It absolutely hinders this offense him simply being on the field opens thing up for others and it's hard to get a guy in Aiyuk that's been MIA more involved.

Nothing was signed on paper. If he plays like today he won't get paid no matter what has happened with Ayiuk. Today Purdy was an average QB at best and outplayed by his backup last year.
