Appropriate ending to this game. 2 goal to gos end in interception and FG. Finishing on an interception thrown right to a safety reminds me of Bryce’s first Atlanta game where Bates just sat there for 2 interceptions. 2 years later and he still doesn’t see the safeties sitting there.

Why are we passing on the 2 pointer? How does a pass get better on the 1 yard line instead of the 2 yard line. I get why you run from the 1 instead of kicking the XP at the 2, but a pass to the back of the end zone doesn’t take advantage of the extra yard. Also, most other teams have been taking the 15 yard penalties on the kickoff because if you kickoff 15 yards closer you can kick it out of bounds and start the drive at the 20 (I think). We don’t seem to take advantage of football situations. Run it from the 1, take the 15 yards on the kickoff to give the 49ers the long field. Same as last week. Most teams will kick a GW chip shot FG on 3rd down just in case of a bad snap. We run 3 times for nothing to kick on 4th down. Luckily no bad snap but damn some of this stuff is just normal coaching moves. We don’t seem to be good at decisions.

We aren’t playing Atlanta so nope, we are done.

Completely agree. They’ll give up some more points with the injuries multiplying but at this point they’ve been on the field for a whole game with a competent offense. They have been on the field the entire game now.

Also, we used 30 seconds to get 4 yards on first down. WTF didn’t Canales call a timeout? It was first down, get good plays in instead of running the clock out. Oh, let’s use a timeout to discuss a Hail Mary at 3 seconds left rather than use them to try and score. SMH.

So terrible. We played that as if we didn’t want to give SF too much time before the half. Embarrassing.

Ridiculous. Terrible series there goal to go.

Moehring didn’t get it. FnA Horn!!!!!!!

He’s much better than XL, but his hands are way too suspect for someone who is supposed to catch everything.

Just gotta replace Bryce. It’s that simple. Minus the Falcons, he does more damage than good. GW drives be damned. Everyone can see we’d be better without him. Watching Purdy is like watching a taller Bryce. They both can’t be counted on to win without a ridiculous supporting cast.

That ball has to be much higher or just fuging run it.

Sort of. Penix was 0 for 2 on scoring drives in the 3rd quarter and Cousins was 2 of 4 (both FGs) in the 4th including the send it to OT drive. The OL and skilled guys were all there too. The D played well in both quarters of the second half.

Honestly, it was awesome to watch the win but even during the game it felt like a microcosm of this season. We come back to down 5 and then miss a 2 point conversion that takes some of the oomph out and then Young flubs 4 straight drives with stuff like spins into sacks or thinking he can run through a LB and we get 3 points on those 4 drives where it felt like we could break the game open. Defense played awesome in the second half but still gave up 2 FGs due to bad special teams and turnover on downs. Then we get the drive to take the lead before the bad special teams and the D plays lights out in OT and we drive and win. Also, what’s with not kicking on third down in case of a bad snap? Why would you ever run for a yard at most and risk a fumble just to give yourself 1 shot at a FG in case of a bad snap? We had plenty of timeouts and we gained almost nothing after Tremble’s catch.

I don’t get it either. People may point to Baker, Jones and Darnold but they went 1st, 6th and 3rd overall. Comparing day 3 talent with resurrecting top 6 QB is like comparing taking a chance on a local JUCO pitcher over Paul Skenes after a bad year.

Funny, I think this might not be a bad crop. Yes, the guys who were discussed as first rounders/heisman favorites have honestly poo the bed but maybe you can find a guy early 2nd like a Dart or Love or Lamar or Brees or Favre. You’ll probably still get some first round QBs. Take Sellers. Dude looked really good in his first starting year last year. OC goes to coach App and he gets Mike Shula, yes, that Mike Shula as his OC this year. Remember Cam’s stats in 2018 with Norv before teams realized his arm was shot? I’d love to see Sellers with a good OC/QB whisperer. Maybe, just maybe we’ll get lucky and have a good QB in a bad situation fall to our 2nd.

While all that is true, we have added a Micah Parsons or a Jamar Chase or anyone at that type of level. That means that until we get a good QB, these minor improvements aren’t enough.

It’s just as much a dead horse to keep trying to blame other things over Young. He was absolutely the reason we lost, period. There was no gaming around a D that had zero respect for Young throwing downfield and Young playing right into their hands. The defense had two slip ups but they had us in the game and I can’t blame them for mistakes/getting worn down when your QB has 8 of 9 3 and outs after the opening drive. We have one problem to fix to get us to the point where we can then discuss other issues. Until then, the rest is just verbal diarrhea.

Sorry man, you can try and excuse it but Bryce was awful and absolutely the biggest problem. Not sure what game you had on but if not for penalties on the first drive, he would not have led a single scoring drive. He was atrocious. We can’t do QB sneaks. We can’t do long passes. We had 2 potential scoring drives. First one was extended due to penalties otherwise Bryce throws a pick. Second was a blocked FG. Outside those two drives, we had 28 plays on 8 drives. Basically we averaged a little over 3 and out on 8 of 10 drives. Most of those ended with inaccurate passes or a pick. Refs generously helped us out so we didn’t get shutout by a 1-8 team. Canales hasn’t been amazing but it’s hard to work around the shitty QB play we saw today. We worked around it at GB but we were never behind. Bryce’s interception just made winning last week harder. This week, it just close the door.

Completely agree. It’s a waste of time. I hate that we once again will likely end 5-12 to 7-10 and make no real headway towards being a competitive team.

What an understatement lol. Watching today was just so sad. Even last week his interception against GB almost cost us. He’s so damn afraid to throw more than 5 yards that on 4th and 2, he can’t even get more than a 1 yard completion. He needs to be gone already. We’ve won games despite him or because teams have him a little respect. When the other team forces him to win by actually throwing it 10+ yards, he can’t without flailing. I’m just tired of watching young QBs make plays that our QB cannot physically make and I’m tired of being a team that can’t run a QB sneak or a Hail Mary. How can you possibly make the playoffs when your offense is limited to 60% of normal NFL playbooks.

It seems like every single early QB pick the past two years is better than Bryce. It’s a true fact that we have the worst QB in the division and we spent a poo ton more than all 3 other teams.

Lol. Saving Young some embarrassment by not even trying a Hail Mary. So sad when we have to get into FG position because our QB can’t throw it further than that.

He sucks. It’s really that simple. He’s an anchor on this team.

This is the type of poo we are used to seeing. Another random young QB making us wonder why the fug we gave up so many picks for Young. Until Young is gone, we will never be a good team.

Yep. We killed the talent on this team throwing away 4 first picks, a few 2nds and Moore by keeping Burns one year too long and trading up for Young. We look like an OK team but we are still not close to contending because our pass rush and QB are still bottom of the league.
