The most embarrassing thing about this loss

Our defense was demolished in the run game. I would rather get torched in the air than have someone run at us for 232 yards. That is really embarrassing for a so called top 10 front seven. And its been coming. They’ve looked suspect all season on run defense and Shanahan just exposed the blueprint against this Defense.

I think you have to tip your cap to San Fran's offensive game plan.  They executed nearly perfectly and really kept us off balance.  Every time we got pressure they had the screen dialed up.  The misdirection was insane and again executed perfectly.  It's not that we couldn't athletically compete, it's that we were completely unprepared for how they were going to attack.  Defense was on it heels all day.  This is a coaching/game plan issue.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. Watching their backs just waltz into the end zones untouched is infuriating.

The only people who call our front 7 a top 10 is this board. The people here have Homer goggles on 24/7/365. Any option that differs from their own is met with negativity and poo talking.

run defense has been bad all season long

we're literally 27th in the league in avg rushing yards allowed per game  at 135 per contest. It's a problem that's been apparent well beyond this one game.

These are worth noting as well avg rush yards per game for our opponents : 

  • #1 Tampa Bay (69 per game) 
  • #2 New Orleans (84)
  • #11 San Francisco (96)
  • #12 Tennesee (97)
  • #14 Los Angeles Rams (97)
  • #15 Seattle (103)
  • #16 Jacksonville (108)
  • #20 Indianapolis (111)
  • #21 Atlanta (118)
  • #24 Green Bay (124)
  • #25 Arizona (130)
  • #28 Washington (138)

So 6 out of our next 9 contests are against teams with middling or bad run Ds. With ATL 2x, Green Bay, and Washington CMC should be salivating.

You can break a team’s entire backbone with that kind of rushing attack. Literally, it’s different than watching your team give up a few bombs over the top. Getting gashed on the ground is just a visceral, demoralizing experience.

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
