Kamara will bounce back. When the #1 defense game plans to shutdown a player that's kinda what's going to happen. Still though, we were never out of it. We just scored almost 50 pts on the #1 defense. If someone told me that I say we win 100%.

If Cook stays upright and they lose Kittle different outcome. It was going to be Cook's one monster game of the season like he has been doing his whole career. He was on his way to over 200 yds and a fews TD's.

I'll say this, as tough of a loss as it was, I feel better about our chances of winning it all now than I did leading up to the game. We've seen what our defense was capable of. Hopefully key guys get back in time and we can shore that up again. The way we put up points yesterday was something we have yet to see. This team puts it all together and we can win it all.

I can already see it now, this is going to play out exactly like last year, only we'll be on the good end. We lose at home to SF, and end up playing them on the road in the NFCCG in their house and win...

No joke, that really sums in up. Coaches have the responsibility to put their players in the best situations to be successful. Our coaches failed them yesterday.
CJGJ I love the guy but he’s put this team in numerous bad positions all season. Roughing the kicker penalties, burned on long passes and he has to be leading the league with penalties on 3rd down. Should he take a seat, NO because the coaches see something in him and I do too. But some of this is situational football. A rookie single covering one of the best TE’s in football at that point in the game is puzzling. There’s a lot of blame to go around and most of it should fall on coach Payton and his staff.

Lookin forward to it. WHO DAT!

I TOTALLY AGREE!

I firmly believe that had he been ok to continue in the game he would have scored at least another couple of TD's! He was just shaking off defenders and gaining great yardage! :-)

Am I the only one on here that thought that Eli Apple looked like a lost high schooler on the field yesterday? Every time I turned around, he was 2, 3, 4 steps behind the receiver.

That said, I didn't watch the game until 10:30 last night, so I may have fallen asleep during part of it. :p

Re: Observations from tough close loss to the Whiners
 

You didn't miss a thing except for Apple being targeted early and often then consistently giving up the big play.

Even though our offense exploded, would sure be nice if they would have pushed for Emmanuel Sanders trade when it was available.

This is really classy of Kittle to say...
