Re: What I feel I learned today

It was a positive, in my book, because after losing to the Bucs and squeaking out a win against the Browns, I was ready for a truly disappointing season. I'm in the wait and see camp.

I want to see more from Carr. I cannot believe we don't have a freaking secondary. This is just so f'd up I don't have words.

I like the unpredictability. Taysom and Special Teams were surprising. Brees has a spin move!

We had a clusterf*ck of bad calls today. I mean there were a bunch of bad ones -- but some were justified -- those need to stop.

Shutdown defense in 2017 = Championship!

Our returns could be better, and I really, really don't like Kamara fielding punts. Not bc he's inept by any stretch, just don't like him getting hit like that...too valuable on offense to take those hits. I cringe every time he fields one.
Special teams almost lost us the game too. Head slap on a FG? C’mon Onyemata.

That's not a half-bad idea, but the Niners Season is over.

3. Balls out in OT to go straight down and score.
4. This is typical SP ball minus 09, 11. Defense is horrid.
5. Of defense does not get better we aren't going anywhere. Plain and simple. In order for us to push for anything the defense has to get 16-20

Om celebrating, I'm happy, but realistic
bro!

Hard fought W. Stopping Jonas Bros and now Ridley is no joke. Both are superior WR's. We pulled it off in OT with a signature Brees seal the deal sneak. We Have The Meats.

I did not get to watch the game today , but I learned that the NFL has it in for Clay Matthews. Like, the Packers may actually have to switch him to offense.

It's a joke. The "new NFL" is ruining the sport I love.

That flag today was even worse than the one last week on Cousins.

Why aren't we looking at Sterling for CB help? I read Chicago did.

Backup LG had to of them and he had a rough day all around. Shows that we are quite thin there.
