I cannot believe so many people thought we could go into San Fran and repeat the same performance on them we put up on the dome. I got so tired of hearing from people "but we scored 40 points on the Niners!" yeah and WE LOST. First game in franchise history we lost scoring 45 or more points.

IMO if we got a rematch with SF in the playoffs this year, they would most likely blow us out.

I'm really not surprised to see Kirk Cousins go back to being Kirk Cousins. We make the most mediocre crap tier QBs look like Pro Bowlers before they stink it up the next week. That's why you guys need to stop blaming the refs and start holding Payton and Dennis Allen accountable.

If you're paying attention to this game; notice that the 49ers called 12 consecutive run plays, and are constantly attacking Minnesota up the middle. They are also taking advantage of mismatches in the secondary. We did neither. We ran the ball a total of 17 times, refused to roll with Murray and Hill when they got hot, and we didn't take advantage of their weak spots in the secondary, yet we sit around and blame the refs on a tick-tacky call... that's us.


I always thought Shanahan had our number as well especially in Atlanta. And I’ve been on the we need to get rid of Allen train when he had came back. He average at best but mostly below average. But what gets me is with other d coordinators we’ve had if the d was sucking Payton was chewing that guy’s arse out but he doesn't do that with Allen and it pisses me off.

Yeah Shanahan has owned us for a long time. I think our fan base hates Kyle cause he's often compared to Payton as the new offensive genius in the league. Don't take away the fact that he has a track record of destroying our defenses and even this past year - he out-coached Payton.

I've seemed to catch the most hell from our fan base for suggesting that Wade Phillips would've been a better hire than Allen in 2016. The retort is usually "his L.A. defenses were disappointing!" OK fair, the Rams defenses haven't been dominant like some of his past defenses BUT in what way are Allen's defenses any better???

The defense wasn't even that bad last week in the playoffs. It all comes down to situational football and the little key decisions. Allen has had 4 years to figure out a 2 minute defense and still hasn't done it. That's how you get the big plays like Diggs' hail mary catch in 2017 and Thielen's bomb last week.

Sad thing is, we're going to be stuck with Allen cause he's one of Payton's buddies. He's not going to hire an outsider again.
