Those are all on the Head Coach. Was this SP or Jason Garrett calling plays on yesterday?

I don't know if there is a better play caller/offensive mind in the NFL but this was coach's worst game plan in a while.

I don't think the game plan was bad (you don't game plan to go for 2 in that spot), I think the decisions that you mentioned were dumb. As soon as we missed the 2-point conversion you knew it was going to come back to haunt us. The fake punt was a blunder from the get go... you had Taysom line up as the punter, everyone was looking for the fake.

A few bad decisions is all it takes in this league, but even with that I still put this loss on the D. You can't give up 48 points and expect to win.

In a heavyweight fight, the "little things" is all it takes to get KO'd.

As far as the "fake" punt ... why would you give your struggling defense a short field to defend? Punt and play the percentages. I could see if we were talking 4th and half a yard. We needed almost 20 yards against a athletic, well coached, disciplined Niners defense.

Serious problems on the back end. Eli, PJ, Williams must play better.

I would say we need to re-evaluate Marcus Williams spot on this team though.

Theres only so many times he can mess up an assignment and yesterday was probably his worst game. From the very first snap he was either out of position, missing tackles or falling over in pass coverage.

was it Marcus Williams who made the gaffe in the Minnesota Miracle? or was that PJ? sorry both plays leave me dumbfounded and just able to recall that it was a db with the last name Williams involved in both/each

Unfortunately that was Marcus as well.

I had hope that even with the terrible ending to the Minnesota game, that there was a positive side that he'd use it as motivation to learn to tackle properly.

Yesterdays game proves otherwise, he just lunges towards players and whiffs or goes straight the facemask.

Not to mention he turned to look for the ball on the long TD and just fell over.

Marcus been whiffing on tackles all season. Against Houston he had a chance to make a stop as a player was driving for the pylon. He missed everything. TD

Marcus Williams has been relatively decent this season, however yesterday he played poorly and accounted for 3 substantial plays that resulted in points for the Niners but none bigger than the Kittle sequence, subsequent face mask that put them in prime FG position to win it.

In the playoffs, that will cost you a game and the season.

My reflections after game is that we have to give the ball more to Murray so the defense will not lock solely on AK. It’s time to replace P.J.

Audiotom · 12-10-2019, 10:50 PM

We are f’d until we get our starting linebackers back

How soon?

With them out
No pass rush (Jimmy G had 6 seconds to get a sun tan)

Runners were hitting 5 yards deep
SF line had a hat on each lineman
Lbers got burned on the edges
Missdirection nightmares
